- National Asset Management Agency Bill 2009: Second Stage (Resumed) (7 Oct 2009)
Tom Hayes: Like everybody else, I am delighted to have an opportunity to say a few words on this matter, the most important legislation to come through the House in my time.

People say the bankers should...

If we want to keep rural Ireland alive, and if we have any interest in...

- Food Industry. (7 Oct 2009)
Tom Hayes: I thank the Leas-Cheann Comhairle for allowing me to raise this important matter. I do so because I believe the Minister does not understand the dire circumstances facing the cereal, beef and dairy sectors. Having been involved in agriculture for many years, I have never seen farmers in such desperation. Cereal farmers have experienced two bad years, with low prices and yields and high...
