- Order of Business (2 Jul 2015)
Charlie McConalogue: The two pieces of legislation are important. The Government is proposing we have a gimmick Dáil day, with no Order of Business, no Leaders' Questions and no votes. That is simply unacceptable and is not the way this Parliament should operate. Unfortunately, it is representative of the way the Government treats legislation and we will not accept it. This legislation should be...
- Order of Business (2 Jul 2015)
Charlie McConalogue: It is not agreed. Over the last few days we were repeatedly told that amendments had been flagged. The standard procedure for flagging amendments is to propose them at the relevant stages of the Bill so they can be appropriately debated. The Government is trying to sneak in amendments on Report Stage which are not related to the context of the Bill, while refusing to recommit the Bill to...

- Order of Business (2 Jul 2015)
Charlie McConalogue: After much of the downtime the Dáil has experienced in recent weeks whereby the schedule was not very heavy, it is totally unacceptable that we should have a late sitting today and probably again in the coming weeks. The normal procedure of the Dáil has been abused in terms of the way the Government has approached the Environment (Miscellaneous) Provisions Bill. The reason for...

- Leaders' Questions (2 Jul 2015)
Charlie McConalogue: The past week has been a very difficult one for people in Greece and many people in Ireland. Yesterday saw the callous cut to the one-parent family payment, which will affect 30,000 single parents and their children. Despite being warned that this is a counterproductive policy that will hurt many, the Government has ploughed on with it. This is against the backdrop of the highest number of...
- Leaders' Questions (2 Jul 2015)
Charlie McConalogue: I thank the Tánaiste for her response. My question to her was if she would agree to revise and increase the rent allowance cap which she had introduced. She proceeded to preach to me on a number of fronts, but she has avoided answering the question. The unfortunate reality is that in 2012 she reduced the rent allowance cap. She told us she was reducing it to reflect rental market...
