Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Public Petitions Received (16 Oct 2013)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Is it possible to get clarification from the Department of Education and Skills before next week on its review of apprenticeship? The second phase of that was due to start in April.

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: They are the latest figures available. Whose fault is it that 80,000 people left these shores last year, 80,000 the previous year and potentially many more? It is not my fault; it is the fault of the Government. The Minister, Deputy Simon Coveney, and his colleagues are the ones at the steering wheel. The Minister is taking such decisions. While Fianna Fáil caused the economic...

Financial Resolutions 2014 - Financial Resolution No. 8: General (Resumed) (16 Oct 2013)

Responding to Fianna Fáil's budget 2010, the...
