Financial Resolution No. 3: Stamp Duties - Section 126AA Bank Levy (8 Oct 2019)

Peadar Tóibín: The stamp duty increase for non-residential property is a fiercely blunt tool. It treats vastly different sectors of the non-residential property market exactly the same. On one side, one has phenomenally profitable flipping of commercial property and on the other side one has the farming sector, which is stuffed at the moment, where the average wage is €8,000 a year and where...

Development of a Liquefied Natural Gas Facility in Ireland: Statements (3 Oct 2019)

Peadar Tóibín: I wish to add my voice to those in opposition. Sometimes there is a chasm between the language that the Government uses around climate change and then its actions.

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (3 Oct 2019)

Peadar Tóibín: The Tories know very little about Ireland and they care much less. People across the country are starting to realise that. We have realised that because of the Border they have an influence on whether or not we can move people, products and services across Ireland, and that they can also determine whether we have a peaceful future in this country or not. Brexit has highlighted in flashing...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (2 Oct 2019)

Peadar Tóibín: It is not the subject of litigation. The problem is that there is a request for a review and the family have had no input into the composition of the panel or the terms of reference. The Government is refusing the family the opportunity to input into that process. Six months on, it is not good enough.
