Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Overview of Banking Sector: Permanent TSB (12 Nov 2014)

Stephen Donnelly: I am delighted to hear that some of those things are happening. I ask the witnesses to investigate the way in which AIB uses the debt for equity solution. I think it is more applicable in other areas but the first area in which it was used was in respect of retirement and it is working. A couple aged 60 years who are six years away from retirement would get a split which allows them to...

Water Sector Reforms: Motion (Resumed) (20 Nov 2014)

Stephen Donnelly: Some seven months ago, a pensioner came into my office in Wicklow. The Government had told her that if she did not have the €100 to pay the water charge, it would send men to her house to turn her water supply down to a trickle. She came in to ask me what a trickle would mean for her and whether she would be able to wash herself, her clothes and her dishes. The Government humiliated...

Water Sector Reforms: Motion (Resumed) (20 Nov 2014)

Stephen Donnelly: It is not, and I will be happy to sit down with the Minister privately and go through the numbers.

Water Sector Reforms: Motion (Resumed) (20 Nov 2014)

Finance Bill 2014: Report and Final Stages (25 Nov 2014)

Stephen Donnelly: I support the amendment. I would go further and say that while it is useful to have a few weeks after the budget, there is no technical reason the Dáil should not be presented with equality budgeting on the day of the budget. I acknowledge that the relevant committee has recently been to Scotland to examine its model, which is viewed by people in this area as best practice. I hope we...

Finance Bill 2014: Report and Final Stages (25 Nov 2014)

Stephen Donnelly: I tabled a similar amendment last year. When we discussed this on Committee Stage, the Minister explained the concern he was addressing, which seemed quite a reasonable concern, that for one child numerous people could claim to be a carer and potentially claim quite a lot for the one child because so many people were involved. When we discussed this last year, the Minister said he was...

Finance Bill 2014: Report and Final Stages (25 Nov 2014)

Stephen Donnelly: I will be very brief. The reasons the Minister gave are technical in nature, as Deputy Michael McGrath said. It seems that a waiver on the unused portion at the end of the given tax year would do away with that. While the Minister has outlined the technical reasons, is he opposed to the principle, which is the sharing, the capping at still one credit's worth, and if he is not, is it...
