Maurice Quinlivan: That concludes the first round. I have a brief question myself. There is a perception that white collar crime, financial crime or whatever one wants to call it has not been treated properly over the last years. I welcome the Minister's comments on a number of questions. I had similar questions but they have been asked already. Did I hear correctly that the budget for next year is being...

Maurice Quinlivan: I thank the Tánaiste. This committee will not be lax in getting this legislation through as fast as we can. I have a quick technical question for the Tánaiste.

Finance Act 2004 (section 91) (Deferred Surrender to the Central Fund) Order 2020: Motion (3 Feb 2021)

Maurice Quinlivan: This order, as the Minister will know, is not the most exciting matter we will speak about during this term but it is nonetheless quite an important piece of housekeeping that we, as a Parliament, need to complete. It is a technical motion to ensure that unspent capital is carried over from 2020 to 2021. The amount of money we are discussing are not insignificant, however, standing at more...

Covid-19 (Transport and Travel): Statements (10 Feb 2021)

Maurice Quinlivan: I welcome the Minister's decision to approve the Coonagh-Knockalisheen road finally. I have been raising this issue in the Dáil, given that it has caused considerable concern in my constituency in Limerick. In particular, the community in Moyross has felt isolated, attacked by the Minister and his party, and marginalised. There has been a sense of despair and they have been through...

Covid-19 (Transport and Travel): Statements (10 Feb 2021)

Maurice Quinlivan: I thank the Minister and I agree 100% with what he has said. As we are speaking about extra public transport, the Minister might look at the area of Southill, which is another deprived regeneration area. Recently, the bus service into Carew Park was cut. The Minister might intervene and find out why one of the most deprived areas of Limerick is being deprived of a bus service. We can take...
