Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (16 Apr 2019)

Micheál Martin: ...of the three strands of the Good Friday Agreement are suspended and the third is dysfunctional, does the Taoiseach think the cause of peace and reconciliation is served by senior Irish politicians reverting to old practices and marching behind simplistic banners bearing quotes such as "England get out of Ireland" or, indeed, by attacks on anyone who questions this? A new Ireland, as...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (10 Apr 2019)

Micheál Martin: ...to the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport. On foot of the replies I received, it is very clear to me that the situation remains uncertain. The replies stated that Dublin Port hopes to revert with increased capacity after 2023, when its infrastructure works pertaining to the freight side are completed. There is no commitment in terms of developing a dedicated cruise berth....

Financial Resolutions 2019 - Financial Resolution No. 4: General (Resumed) (10 Oct 2018)

Micheál Martin: ...could be covered by the backstop even though he himself suggested it last December. There remains much to be done on the diplomatic challenge and it is to be earnestly hoped that the Taoiseach and his staff will not revert to type and spend the next few weeks talking to the media rather than the people with whom we need to reach a deal. As for preparing for the economic hit of Brexit, we...

Questions on Promised Legislation (18 Apr 2018)

Micheál Martin: ...with the statutory instrument. My question is why is the Government introducing a statutory instrument. The statutory instrument and the appeals process are unfair. Will the Government revert to its original position that it would introduce primary legislation to govern this issue, as it would allow for proper transparency and fairness for all concerned?

Northern Ireland: Statements (7 Mar 2018)

Micheál Martin: ...Ireland. What we cannot do is to keep pushing ahead with the same strategy and hope things turn out differently. My party believes that the Governments should take direct charge. They should revert to the independently chaired all-party process and stop leaving everything in the hands of the two main parties. Whatever is wrong with the relations between the Governments, there is a...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (22 Mar 2017)

Micheál Martin: I thank the Taoiseach. In recent months, there has been a sense of some Deputies being almost relieved that Donald Trump is the US President because it allows them to revert to their default position of attacking the US for everything while ignoring the behaviour of other countries. Before November, I was clear about where I stood. We must manage the situation as it is. Ireland's...

Ceisteanna - Questions: UK Referendum on EU Membership (4 Oct 2016)

Micheál Martin: I hope the Government is not reverting to the model that was used by the last Government when the media was briefed before information was given to the Cabinet and other interested parties. In the months since the Brexit referendum, I do not think the Government has kept the promise it made in our discussions at that time to keep pro-EU parties - all parties are allegedly pro-EU at this...

Government Appeal of European Commission Decision on State Aid to Apple: Motion (7 Sep 2016)

Micheál Martin: ...announce the decision. I stand to be corrected, but I understand that the College of Commissioners was given a 24-hour notice. The decision was circulated and the other Commissioners were told to revert within 24 hours with informed comments. That was unnecessary and unusual, in that the full two weeks or so were not given to them. There was no heads-up given to the Government by...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Employment Data (22 Jun 2016)

Micheál Martin: ...point regarding the sampling methodology, essentially the surveys she mentioned earlier such as the household quarterly survey, the earnings hours and so on all are sample-based surveys. She might revert to Members at a later stage, but what would it take to conduct a proper research-based statistical analysis involving primary data? I ask because the State carries out a census and when...

Nomination of Taoiseach (Resumed) (6 Apr 2016)

Micheál Martin: ..., who have generally responded positively to the content and substance of what we have put forward. I refer that to the Minister, Deputy Joan Burton, who, unfortunately, in her presentation reverted to hostility and an aggressive rehearsing of perhaps a traditional animosity between her and the Fianna Fáil Party. I do not think that did her or the situation we are in any justice today.

Order of Business (8 Dec 2015)

Micheál Martin: ...was supposed to be appointed to review complaints in Donegal. However, none of this has been published. The Taoiseach might not have immediate answers on the matter now, but perhaps he would revert to me on the internal review that replaced the investigations John Gormley had initiated and on the status of the review in County Donegal, where allegations were made and a barrister was...

Leaders' Questions (25 Mar 2015)

Micheál Martin: ...is necessary in order to, at a minimum, maintain the level and quality of services that have been provided in rural areas by the companies to which I refer? Will he see to it that the Government reverts to the tried and tested model which previously worked effectively and which was lauded by the European Union as honouring the intention behind the programme the latter originally designed?

European Council: Statements (27 Jan 2015)

Micheál Martin: ...of GDP in Greece is 175%, which is unsustainable. Therefore, something must happen, just as something happened previously. For example, any profit made from the ECB's holding of Greek bonds will revert to the Greek Government. There is an opportunity for a broader, pan-European discussion about debt sustainability. I am curious about why the Government has quietly dropped any real...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (20 Jan 2015)

Micheál Martin: I ask the Taoiseach to revert to me on when he last met representatives of the churches as part of a structured dialogue. Will he also indicate the philosophical bodies to which he referred? It is clear from my discussions with many parents and school representatives that resources, rather than patronage, are their main concern. Early in the lifetime of the Government an announcement was...

Leaders' Questions (26 Nov 2014)

Micheál Martin: ...consultation and would not engage with the trade unions, and a lot of doubt and bad feeling was created. In fairness, the Minister, Deputy Jan O'Sullivan, acknowledged that in her announcement by reverting back to the original proposals of the NCCA, and now there will be a final examination and State certification for 60% and 40% will go on projects and portfolios. Parents are concerned...

Order of Business (1 Oct 2014)

Micheál Martin: ...the board of Irish Museum of Modern Art and other State boards, can the Taoiseach assure us that adequate records were taken of all those decisions and that he will make them available to the House or will we have to revert to freedom of information requests to the relevant Department and possibly the Department of the Taoiseach?
