- Leaders' Questions (15 Apr 2014)
Micheál Martin: The Taoiseach has been saying "the Government will consider it shortly" since January of this year. We have been told that the Government will publish something in two weeks or a couple of weeks. The Taoiseach said the same thing in February and in March. We are now in April. Next month is May. When will this happen? There are five weeks to go until the local elections. One has to come...
- Leaders' Questions (15 Apr 2014)
Micheál Martin: Even though Irish Water has employed three public relations companies, according to The Sunday Times, the level of information we are getting in this regard is very scarce.

- Leaders' Questions (15 Apr 2014)
Micheál Martin: Irish Water has confirmed a story in the Irish Independentthat it has sought the introduction of a standing charge of €100 for all householders. This has shocked many people and has caused a considerable degree of disquiet and anxiety with the public. The Taoiseach promised previously in the House that he would publish, before the local elections, all details on the water tax and the...

- Order of Business (9 Apr 2014)
Micheál Martin: The Government's proposals vis-à-visthe introduction of universal health insurance are causing considerable concern out there in terms of the implications of such an initiative on people's incomes, additional taxes that will emanate from it and also the lack of detail in terms of the pricing arrangements and the actual packages under which people will be covered. I ask the Minister, in...

Micheál Martin: The ongoing situation of people in mortgage arrears is unacceptable, given the scale of the continuing crisis and the hands-off approach of the Government and the Central Bank to the resolution of the issues facing thousands of families, whose entire futures are in jeopardy and whose lives are paralysed by the lack of sustainable solutions. Since Central Bank targets have come into play,...
- Leaders' Questions (9 Apr 2014)
Micheál Martin: The variation is stark. For example, on the split mortgage it is as wide as €57,000. It could not be acceptable that, depending on which bank gave the mortgage, one could be better off by €57,000 in the application of a single option on the split mortgage. It should not be reduced to how lucky one is to happen to have a split mortgage with AIB as opposed to with Bank of...
