Cost of Living: Motion [Private Members] (26 Jan 2022)

Peadar Tóibín: The biggest Internet database in the EU relating to the cost of living ranks Ireland as the sixth most expensive country in Europe in which to live. We are ranked the most expensive for the cost of rent, with only Switzerland and Luxembourg being more expensive than this State. The more frequently updated website, Expatistan, ranks Dublin as the fourth most expensive city in Europe, with...

Vote 8 - Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General (Revised)
Vote 9 - Office of the Revenue Commissioners (Revised)
Vote 10 - Tax Appeals Commission (Revised) (26 Jan 2022)

Peadar Tóibín: Gabhaim míle buíochas leis an Aire as teacht isteach agus as a chur i láthair freisin. He opened his presentation with increased pay allocation. There has been a significant debate over the last number of months on the enormous increase in the cost of living. That relates very clearly to pay allocations right across the public service, in his own Department and obviously in...

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Estimates for Public Services 2022
Vote 7 - Office of the Minister for Finance (Revised)
Vote 8 - Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General (Revised)
Vote 9 - Office of the Revenue Commissioners (Revised)
Vote 10 - Tax Appeals Commission (Revised) (26 Jan 2022)

Peadar Tóibín: I thank the Minister. Obviously, most people will have felt in their pocket the significant increase in the price of petrol, diesel and electricity. Farmers are seeing their fertiliser costs triple and the cost of foodstuffs has increased. The Minister would present himself as a fiscally-responsible Minster during this period of time. Is it fiscally responsible to give a civil servant an...

Vote 7 - Office of the Minister for Finance (Revised)
Vote 8 - Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General (Revised)
Vote 9 - Office of the Revenue Commissioners (Revised)
Vote 10 - Tax Appeals Commission (Revised) (26 Jan 2022)

Peadar Tóibín: Briefly, the restrictions path that this Government has taken over the last two years was an outlier restriction path. It was not followed by any other European country. That led to significant damage to supply chains in the State. I mentioned to the Minister earlier today that we were the only country in the whole of the European Union that closed building sites for four months last year,...

Vote 10 - Tax Appeals Commission (Revised) (26 Jan 2022)

Peadar Tóibín: Finally, by the time we come to vote on next year's Estimates, there will be no doubt, as sure as night follows day, that there will be a raft of public sector pay demands due to the fact that income is reducing in real terms at the moment. We will see pay demands, as well as increases in pay, happening right across society, unless the Government ameliorates the sources of these cost...

Leaving Certificate: Motion (25 Jan 2022)

Peadar Tóibín: The leaving certificate year of 2022 did not have a normal two-year preparation for the leaving certificate examination. As a result, it is not fair to ask the students to sit a normal leaving certificate examination. The leaving certificate examination is specifically designed to allow for two years of preparation for it, and this obviously did not happen. Many students have lost at least...

Ministerial Rota for Parliamentary Questions: Motion: Taoiseach's Communications (25 Jan 2022)

Peadar Tóibín: Change the rules.

Ministerial Rota for Parliamentary Questions: Motion: Taoiseach's Communications (25 Jan 2022)

Peadar Tóibín: The issue of inflation in the State cannot be overestimated. There is a massive problem with prices increasing across the State, especially for fuel. Farmers are being hit significantly by large increases in nitrogen and input costs. The Taoiseach has indicated in a number of replies that some of that price pressure is coming from the actions of Russia and other external factors we cannot...

Ministerial Rota for Parliamentary Questions: Motion: Northern Ireland (25 Jan 2022)

Peadar Tóibín: It has come to light that there has been a slew of racist, sexist and misogynistic tweets by the leader of the Ulster Unionist Party, Doug Beattie. These tweets were shockingly derogatory, and included comments about women and Muslims. He used incredible terms about the Traveller community. I am not going to introduce the language used in those tweets into the Chamber today such is its...

Ministerial Rota for Parliamentary Questions: Motion: National Risk Assessment (25 Jan 2022)

Peadar Tóibín: Will the Taoiseach provide the House with an update on the current status of the recovery from the recent cyberattack on the Department of Health and the HSE? Has the Government quantified the cost of the cyberattack economically and, more importantly, in terms of health and fatalities in our hospital system? For example, is the number of appointments that were cancelled known? Have the...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (25 Jan 2022)

Peadar Tóibín: I welcome the strategy that will be published in March but all the strategies in the world will not make a difference to the level of accommodation provided unless funding is also provided. We can stack strategies to the ceiling of the Dáil. Will the Taoiseach commit to making sure that, on the day of the strategy being published, he will also publish the funding that will accompany...
