Issue of Writs: Dublin South-West By-election and Roscommon-South Leitrim By-election (17 Sep 2014)

Micheál Martin: It is about time we got a bit more democracy. The Opposition should not be taking it from each other. I am simply making the point that five minutes for this type of debate is not good enough. We are entitled to make-----

Issue of Writs: Dublin South-West By-election and Roscommon-South Leitrim By-election (17 Sep 2014)

Order of Business (17 Sep 2014)

Micheál Martin: This is very serious because it concerns the programme for Government. Should it not be scrapped? It is fantasy. The Government is treating the public and the Dáil with contempt. None of this is going to happen. The Minister, Deputy Leo Varadkar, has said it is not going to happen.

Order of Business (17 Sep 2014)

Micheál Martin: The Department of Health officials said it was not going to happen. I have spent 12 months asking the Taoiseach about each of these Bills, but he keeps on talking nonsense and avoiding answering the questions. It is fantasy.

Micheál Martin: A more honest approach would be to withdraw the part of the programme for Government on health, as there is no substance to it.

Order of Business (17 Sep 2014)

Order of Business (17 Sep 2014)

According to the new schedule, however, the...

Micheál Martin: Gan amhras, is ócáid an-bhrónach é bás Albert Mac Raghnaill. I dtús báire, ba mhaith liom mo chomhbhrón a dhéanamh lena bhean, Kathleen, agus lena chlann go léir. Is léir do chách gur ceannaire agus polaiteoir den scoth a bhí ann. Bhí tionchar faoi leith aige ar chúrsaí polaitíochta na tíre seo agus,...

Leaders' Questions (17 Sep 2014)

Micheál Martin: From October onwards Irish Water will be issuing bills in respect of water charges to families across the country. I could talk about the average bill of €240 promised by the Taoiseach before the local elections, despite the fact that a family with two adult children will now be paying about €590 - a far cry from his €240. I could talk about the fact that the Taoiseach...

Leaders' Questions (17 Sep 2014)

Micheál Martin: -----across the country who are in receipt of boil-water notices and about 21,000 of those live in County Roscommon. There has been very great confusion and anger across the midlands this morning because of statements emanating from Fine Gael about this specific issue giving the impression that there will be a 100% exemption now. The Taoiseach will understand that the people of Roscommon...
