Requests to move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 32 (27 Jan 2009)

Kieran O'Donnell: I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the incredible failure of the Government to establish the promised multi-agency taskforce in Limerick nearly three weeks after Dell's announcement to close its manufacturing plant there with the loss of 1,900 direct jobs and the consequential loss of many other thousands of jobs in...

Anglo Irish Bank Corporation Bill 2009: Second Stage (20 Jan 2009)

Kieran O'Donnell: I echo the sentiments of my colleague, Deputy Bruton, that this legislation is being rushed. We are getting five hours to debate something that will have a monumental impact on the way the economy is run. I cannot understand why this legislation is being rushed, but it is. We should be allowed more time to debate it. The public is looking for certainty, confidence, the restoration of...

Anglo Irish Bank Corporation Bill 2009: Second Stage (20 Jan 2009)

Kieran O'Donnell: It should be published, similar to the FÁS report. I cannot understand why it has not been published. We are being asked to approve something blind. We do not know what we are putting money into but the PwC report was supposed to outline that. The current auditors to the bank must be removed. This is again not personal but new auditors must be appointed. It is absolutely critical that...

Written Answers — Job Protection: Job Protection (18 Dec 2008)

Kieran O'Donnell: Question 80: To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if, in view of the ongoing uncertainty with the future of and the recent jobs losses at a plant (details supplied) in County Limerick she will seek an immediate meeting with the chief executive officer of the company to secure the 3,000 jobs at the plant.

Electoral (Amendment) Bill 2008: Report and Final Stages (18 Dec 2008)

Kieran O'Donnell: There was no logical reason for the constituencies to be redrawn in Limerick, which has lost one seat, other than the desire to retain two three-seaters in Kerry. Logic would have dictated that Kerry should have gone from two three-seaters to one five-seater but that has not happened. The area I was elected to represent, Limerick East, took in the city and a portion of east county Limerick,...

Recapitalisation of Credit Institutions: Statements (18 Dec 2008)

Kieran O'Donnell: I concur with everything Deputy Bruton said. Everyone accepts that a recapitalisation of the banks must take place. However, such a recapitalisation must occur in the context of the facts as they exist. We understand that PricewaterhouseCoopers is due to present its report to Government by 20 December. However, we have not been provided with any details in respect of this report. The...

Finance (No. 2) Bill 2008: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (17 Dec 2008)

Kieran O'Donnell: In terms of any tax relief there should be equity. We all received the correspondence from the particular Seveso company and it should be looked at by the Minister in terms of equity. On the broader issue of docklands development, in the context of my own constituency in Limerick we have a working dock but we would like to see development of the area as an amenity. The Minister needs to...

Kieran O'Donnell: I thank the Leas-Cheann Comhairle for his indulgence.

Finance (No. 2) Bill 2008: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (17 Dec 2008)

Kieran O'Donnell: I will make allowances for that. This section deals with Seveso sites in urban dockland areas which are subject to local area plans. It does not provide for Seveso sites which are located in non-urban dockland areas. That strikes me as anti-competitive. If an operation is required to relocate from a Seveso site in an area other than docklands, it should be given the same tax breaks. That...
