Leaders' Questions (15 Feb 2012)

Shane Ross: I would like to ask the Taoiseach about Greyhound Waste. I refer not to the shambles that has existed in Dublin in recent days but a wider issue. How did Greyhound Waste get the contract? This is the third high profile public service contract it has won in recent years. It won a contract from Dublin City Council which is causing all the current problems. It won a very lucrative one from...

Leaders' Questions (15 Feb 2012)

Shane Ross: I will ask just one question. The chief executive of Iarnród Éireann told a transport committee under the last Government that the money charged by Greyhound did not tally with the work done. In light of that, should the current Government not have taken Greyhound off its favoured list? How can a contract be given to a company which has already compensated a State company?

Leaders' Questions (15 Feb 2012)

Shane Ross: The Taoiseach did not take my point on board. The tenders were flawed; this was not a competitive tender in either case. In the light of the history of the company, why was that?

Leaders' Questions (15 Feb 2012)

Shane Ross: This is a broad issue and I hope the Taoiseach and I are on the same side on this. How can the same companies, despite their records, win these contracts against very little competition? When it was asked how it had given this contract to Greyhound Waste in view of the problem it had with overcharging Iarnród Éireann, where it had to pay back more than €1 million, a spokesman for South...

Leaders' Questions (22 Feb 2012)

Shane Ross: I congratulate the Taoiseach on delivering 1,000 jobs to Deputy Adams's constituency in County Louth. Jobs are a success story for the Government this week. I welcome that some of the privatisation money will go to job creation. We should congratulate the Taoiseach and the Government for achieving that and it is right that we should do so on both counts. However, I issue a little warning....

Leaders' Questions (22 Feb 2012)

Shane Ross: I thank the Taoiseach. The problem is absenteeism, which has been created by the State. Smaller businesses cannot afford to take this burden. The Taoiseach is as sympathetic as every other Member and he is aware that it is not just a matter of small businesses being crucified by the banks. I am sure members of the Cabinet know there is a large build up of arrears because of small...

Leaders' Questions (22 Feb 2012)

Shane Ross: This is not a militant group of people who are taking up the cudgels against the State or the Revenue. They simply cannot afford to do this. I suggest the conversation about them taking on this burden should end now because to suggest they can do so is unrealistic. Some businesses could but they will lay off large numbers of their workforce or they will close down.
