National Development Plan: Motion [Private Members] (11 Jun 2019)

Lisa Chambers: I am happy to support the motion and speak in favour of it. The launch of the national planning framework and national development plan was one of the most cynical the State has ever witnessed. An unprecedented marketing campaign followed. Deputy Cassells is correct; it was like a bag of goodies being given to Deputies to take back to their constituencies as though they had delivered...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Fiscal Assessment Report: Irish Fiscal Advisory Council (11 Jun 2019)

Lisa Chambers: I thank the Chairman and Mr. Coffey. He can see that we will be here for a while yet. We have many questions. I thank the witnesses for the work that they have done. The report makes for sober reading and should serve as a wake-up call about getting back on track and managing the economy prudently. I will address the windfall of corporation tax receipts. Given that 45% of corporation...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Local Property Tax Review: Discussion (11 Jun 2019)

Lisa Chambers: The single biggest complaint about the local property tax I hear in my constituency in Mayo is that people feel it is a local tax and expect to see local services from it, but they have not seen any difference in local services since it came into being.
