- Leaders' Questions (21 Nov 2013)
Seán Fleming: There have been many debates on the pros and cons of selling State assets. The Government withdrew the option of selling Coillte, which was the right decision. Fine Gael had a plan in 2009 to sell State assets with a view to creating new jobs. One hour ago in the Chamber the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Deputy Brendan Howlin, confirmed no proceeds had been received from the...

- Leaders' Questions (21 Nov 2013)
Seán Fleming: Why is the Labour Party, headed by the Tánaiste and ably assisted by the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources, Deputy Pat Rabbitte, determined to proceed with the sale of Bord Gáis in 2014, as well as the sale of power generation plants owned by the ESB iwhen no one other than Fine Gael is asking it to do so? As the leader of the Labour Party, will the...
- Other Questions: Departmental Budgets (21 Nov 2013)
Seán Fleming: On a point of order, we were late starting today because a quorum was not established. We did not start until 9.38 a.m. There are eight minutes left. It is very clear under Standing Orders that there should one hour and 15 minutes available for questions. As an Opposition spokesman, I am not having a situation whereby Government Deputies choose not to come at the start of business. There...

- Other Questions: Estimates Process (21 Nov 2013)
Seán Fleming: The next question is about Supplementary Estimates. I would like the Minister to give us an indication of any such Estimates that may be coming down the tracks in the next few days.
- Other Questions: Estimates Process (21 Nov 2013)
Seán Fleming: A Leas-Cheann Chomhairle, I appreciate the extra few minutes. We have confirmation today that there will be Supplementary Estimates in justice and health, although I do not know the amount involved. We are going to have a Supplementary Estimate in transport, and there is probably a good reason for that. We accept that extra money went to different projects during the year, and that was...
- Other Questions: Sale of State Assets (21 Nov 2013)
Seán Fleming: It is interesting that on 15 December Ireland will have exited the troika agreement. Despite everything the Minister and his party said about what Fianna Fáil had committed to in the sale of State assets as part of the three year programme, he has now confirmed that the troika will have left without any proceeds being received from the sale of State assets. Much and all as he tried to...
- Other Questions: Sale of State Assets (21 Nov 2013)

- Other Questions: Sale of State Assets (21 Nov 2013)
Seán Fleming: I asked the Minister to outline the proceeds he expects to receive in 2013 and 2014 from the sale of various State assets such as Bord Gáis, the special dividend from the ESB, the national lottery licence and whatever other assets he has in mind.
- Other Questions: Sale of State Assets (21 Nov 2013)
Seán Fleming: I acknowledge the Minister's comment. There has been lots of talk over the past year or two about using the proceeds from the sale of State assets for job creation and debt reduction. The Minister trumpeted his great achievement in this regard. To my recollection, this is the first time it has been stated on public record that the Exchequer will receive nothing from the sale of State...
- Other Questions: EU Funding (21 Nov 2013)
Seán Fleming: 6. To ask the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform when Ireland will have in place a plan for the disbursement of European structural and investment funds for the period 2014-2021; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [49582/13]
- Other Questions: EU Funding (21 Nov 2013)
Seán Fleming: I ask the Minister to outline the plans for the European structural investment funds that will be available from 2014 to 2021. Is the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform the lead Department, on behalf of the Irish Government, in co-ordinating efforts in this regard?
- Other Questions: EU Funding (21 Nov 2013)
Seán Fleming: It sounds as if the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform will have a key role but the Departments of Agriculture, Food and the Marine and Education and Skills will also have key, but separate roles. To go back to my earlier theme, I would like to see one, joined-up approach on behalf of the Irish Government. There must be one lead Department to co-ordinate efforts in this area and I...
