An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (23 Jan 2024)

Michael Collins: ...that these businesses have not even factored in yet. To save these businesses and jobs, which are haemorrhaging this very day, will the Government accept that it got it seriously wrong and revert back to the 9% rate of VAT immediately and announce a rescue package for the thousands of struggling businesses all over the country?

Energy Costs and Windfall Taxes: Motion [Private Members] (15 Feb 2023)

Michael Collins: ...There are a few things the Government can do to help households this winter. First, it should commit to keeping the 9% VAT rate on gas and electricity indefinitely, or even reduce it to 5%. That rate is due to revert to 13.5% soon. When people talk about the winners from the energy crisis, they forget the Government is one of them. VAT is levied on the net price of goods and services...

National Maternity Services: Motion [Private Members] (17 May 2022)

Michael Collins: ...issue. Even then, it is unlikely any court would say the hospital should be removed. Who will own the hospital buildings? The HSE will. After 299 years of the leasehold, the hospital ownership will revert to St. Vincent's hospital. There is nothing to indicate that even then the nuns, if the order is still around, would have any say in its running. Is this argument common? Yes,...

Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Bill 2021 [Seanad]: Second Stage (17 Nov 2021)

Michael Collins: ..., expensive legal costs, and additional court backlogs. I welcome the decision taken by the Government, which essentially means the law applicable to easement and right of ways will largely revert to the common law that applied before the 2009 Act. I welcome the fact that a full time-bound review to identify the most appropriate long-term strategy for rights of way will be undertaken....

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (29 Sep 2021)

Michael Collins: ...every day of the crisis. He should have stood with the people and that is where his voice should have been heard, but he failed the people. The same is true in the case of SouthDoc. The HSE reverted last week to say the issue relating to SouthDoc in Castletownbere had been resolved, but it lasted two days and collapsed. There is no SouthDoc service there by night. There is a failure....

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Business of Special Committee (30 Sep 2020)

Michael Collins: ...the Taoiseach say in the last week that rising numbers of Covid cases in four named counties were on a citywide rather than a countywide basis. The Minister, Deputy Stephen Donnelly, on Sunday reverted and spoke of counties Cork, Galway, Waterford and Kildare, such that he is looking at cases on a county-wide basis. As I said the Taoiseach appears to be looking at it from a city-wide...

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Briefing by Department of Health Officials (19 May 2020)

Michael Collins: ...the public waiting list as of 30 April. The National Treatment Purchase Fund, NTPF, recorded 770,000 people in hospitals and clinics. Other countries have had to do something similar and they have reverted. I am asking the same thing. Are we considering the gradual reopening of private hospitals to people with private health insurance? It is important and there is fierce worry out...

Michael Collins: ...are excluded from trade negotiations and unless an agreement is reached on or before July 2020 on the specific issues of fisheries, all the UK rights and entitlements within UK waters will revert to the UK in full.

Local Government Bill 2018: Instruction to Committee (4 Dec 2018)

Michael Collins: ..., nobody who has been elected to represent the people has been allowed a say. The hinterland of Clonakilty, from Ring to Timoleague, including Courtmacsherry, Lislevane, Darrara and Butlerstown, reverts to the west Cork municipal district. Ring village is only two miles from the town of Clonakilty. It makes no sense to move it to the Bandon-Kinsale district. People in these areas made...

Roads Funding: Motion [Private Members] (1 Feb 2017)

Michael Collins: ...on these roads. This was not the fault of the Minister. As I said earlier, he inherited a mess as the roads budget was totally underfunded. Local authorities need to be funded properly and to revert to having more council staff on roadsides having a bigger effect in their counties. An embargo on council workers was simply penny wise and pound foolish. Dykes and gulleys are blocked....
