Éamon Ó Cuív: I thank the Taoiseach for the words of commiseration with my colleague, Deputy Micheál Martin, which are deeply appreciated.

Leaders' Questions (19 Jan 2012)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Before the election last year, the Labour Party and the Fine Gael Party made promises to distressed mortgage holders. We have had a number of reports but limited action.

We are all aware that...

Leaders' Questions (19 Jan 2012)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The Tánaiste mentioned many things I would like to debate with him in detail but I will focus on the proposition that the Government, which is 99% owner of Permanent TSB, ensures its interest rates are no longer sub-prime or usury rates and that they are reduced to the level of the other banks, which is 3% to 3.5%. That would be a huge saving for people. If the Government did that, it...

Private Members' Business. School Guidance Counsellors: Motion (Resumed) (18 Jan 2012)

Éamon Ó Cuív: As I said, there are huge personal consequences but there are also significant national consequences of this.
