Departmental Staff (24 Jan 2012)

Seán Fleming: The figures outlined by the Minister are not correct. I accept some of those who indicated they would retire will not do so, but more may give notice next week. What will the Minister do, especially with nurses in front-line services?

Departmental Staff (24 Jan 2012)

Seán Fleming: In regard to the additional staff to be recruited in the course of the year, it is my understanding that the majority will be teachers filling the vacancies that arise in schools throughout the State. Will the Minister give a commitment that where there are problems in front line services due to reduced numbers of nurses in the health sector, he will consider allowing additional recruitment?...

Croke Park Agreement (24 Jan 2012)

However, one should acknowledge the remarkable level of industrial peace that exists. What is the Minister's definition of success and in what circumstances would he pull the trapdoor and seek a return to the drawing board?

Croke Park Agreement (24 Jan 2012)

Seán Fleming: The Minister should provide us with the figures.

Croke Park Agreement (24 Jan 2012)

Seán Fleming: I have only one point to make on this matter. The Minister continually provides information on the gross savings to be made from the point of view of payroll. We know that people are entitled to their lump sums and pensions. All I ask is that the Minister provide the net figure for savings to the taxpayer. He continually refers to the savings to be made in one little sub-silo in his...

Legislative Programme (24 Jan 2012)

Seán Fleming: I was very concerned because it seemed the issue had been referred back to individual Departments to be buried. This issue is all the more relevant having heard over the weekend about the case of an advocate for persons availing of mental health services who had made public comments and found herself out of a job. I was happy to hear on the radio on the way here that she had been...
