Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (23 Sep 2021)

Pearse Doherty: On learning of the sad passing of the former Teachta, Mervyn Taylor, on my behalf and behalf of Sinn Féin, I express sympathy to his family, friends and colleagues in the Labour Party. In April, the personal injuries guidelines came into effect and slashed personal injury awards. Finally, there was an opportunity for insurance premiums to be reduced significantly. Again, I ask that...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (23 Sep 2021)

Pearse Doherty: Will the Tánaiste listen to the voices of the people? Forget what we are saying and listen to them. Have a bit of humility and maybe look at it through the prism of individuals as opposed to the landlords and speculators, whose side he always takes.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (23 Sep 2021)

Pearse Doherty: This is not just a Covid story. Students down through the years have lived in tents, hotels, bed and breakfast accommodation and hostels. There is a housing crisis right across society, as I laid out for the Tánaiste, from mica families to the women we heard yesterday. What they had to say was devastating. I do not know whether the Tánaiste heard them but he should listen to...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Pre-Budget 2022 Scrutiny (Resumed): Minister for Finance (23 Sep 2021)

Pearse Doherty: I welcome the Minister to the committee. I want to pick up on the points he made in regard to next year's budget. In his opening statement, the Minister said that the expenditure ceiling would be fixed at €88.2 billion. This is consistent with what was spelled out in the summer economic statement such that regardless of how well the economy does, or tax fluctuation, the expenditure...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Pre-Budget 2022 Scrutiny (Resumed): Minister for Finance (23 Sep 2021)

Pearse Doherty: Okay. Given there have been changes in tax revenue and that the economic growth we are seeing is above what was projected in the summer economic statement, can the Minister outline the revised projections for the deficit in tax revenue this year and next year as a result of the tax buoyancy and higher than expected economic growth such that the committee is fully apprised of the detail? The...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Pre-Budget 2022 Scrutiny (Resumed): Minister for Finance (23 Sep 2021)

Pearse Doherty: The Tánaiste was clear and at pains to point out the intention to protect people's wage growth from additional tax. The Minister has said the Government wants to do that as much as possible, which is different to what the Tánaiste said. It is also completely different from the commitment in the programme for Government which promised an index link to earnings growth. Given the...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Pre-Budget 2022 Scrutiny (Resumed): Minister for Finance (23 Sep 2021)

Pearse Doherty: We will not go into that debate. The Minister and others like him, people who are earning salaries of €180,000, will also benefit from this tax cut. It is not directed only at people who are going back to work. It is all about priorities. The Minister has his priorities. My priorities are to make the investment in capital infrastructure in terms of housing, to make sure we recruit...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Pre-Budget 2022 Scrutiny (Resumed): Minister for Finance (23 Sep 2021)

Pearse Doherty: I will come back in on the issue that Deputy Mairéad Farrell raised. There is a lack of clarity, given the conversation that went on. Will the Minister clear this up? Two days ago, on Tuesday, the Tánaiste stated, "any agreement we may or may not sign up to won’t impact the average Irish business, won’t impact even any large Irish business, or mid-caps. The 12.5 per...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Pre-Budget 2022 Scrutiny (Resumed): Minister for Finance (23 Sep 2021)

Pearse Doherty: He is not referring to the OECD agreement. I am familiar with the current draft that has been agreed. The question is about its implementation. Deputy Farrell has put that question to the Minister. For us to implement that, mindful that many countries across the globe have an effective rate of above 15%, from what the Tánaiste has said, we would need approval from the Commission to...
