Michael Creed: Compensation.

Sugar Beet Production (1 Dec 2010)

Michael Creed: I understand the Minister's defensiveness about this.

Sugar Beet Production (1 Dec 2010)

Michael Creed: There are many that should shoulder the blame, not least the Department, the European Commission and Greencore, but can we salvage something from this? I support the point made by Deputy Coonan. I am not preoccupied with the issue of whether a factory is built in Mallow or Thurles, but an industry can be re-established. Thousands of growers and factory workers were sacrificed on the altar...

Sugar Beet Production (1 Dec 2010)

Michael Creed: That is not the point.

EU-IMF Programme for Ireland and National Recovery Plan 2011-14: Statements (Resumed) (1 Dec 2010)

Michael Creed: Does the Minister accept that we are a pawn in a bigger game, one that is about saving the euro? Does he not also accept that the markets have not been reassured by the deal because the contagion is spreading, seeing that even the spreads on Belgian debt are coming into the equation? Does he accept that the markets know the deal is not the end game in saving the euro, given the failure to...

Michael Creed: Would the Deputy call that a work of art?

Financial Resolution No. 23: Income Tax - Artists' Exemption (7 Dec 2010)

Michael Creed: I remind Deputy O'Donoghue that Yeats also wrote: "All changed, changed utterly: A terrible beauty is born." Regrettably, that is the reality we are coming to face in painful and stark terms in the context of this year's budget. I am particularly interested in two issues, the first of which is the changes in section 23 reliefs. What is the basis for the Government's decision to restrict the...

Financial Resolution No. 23: Income Tax - Artists' Exemption (7 Dec 2010)

Michael Creed: Yes, certainly, but-----

Financial Resolution No. 23: Income Tax - Artists' Exemption (7 Dec 2010)

Michael Creed: We have strayed a long way from the original raison d'être for it. This is an attempt to go back to basics but critical to that would be a clear definition of what constitutes artistic endeavour. As I understand it, it is a question of a negotiation or a conversation between the Revenue Commissioners and the artist. That is too loose an arrangement to be acceptable. I note the former...

Financial Resolution No. 33: Income Tax and Corporation Tax (7 Dec 2010)

Michael Creed: I wish to address the issue of the removal of the benefit in kind exemption for employer provided child care. The yield is expected to be approximately €6 million in a full year. Access to and affordability of child care is a major issue as the cost of child care is the equivalent of a second mortgage and more for many families. I know of someone in Dublin who pays €2,400 a month for...

Michael Creed: Question 104: To ask the Minister for Health and Children her views on whether the response of the Dental Council of Ireland to its obligations under the Dentists Act 1985 to auxiliary dental workers has been adequate, given the fact that the only auxiliary dental workers who have been given cover or status by the dental council are clinical dental technicians who were obliged to go abroad...

Written Answers — National Minimum Wage: National Minimum Wage (7 Dec 2010)

Michael Creed: Question 252: To ask the Minister for Social Protection if he has calculated the cost of reducing the national minimum wage by €1 in view of the likely increased entitlement of those in receipt of the minimum wage to increased rent allowance payments, family income supplement entitlements and other secondary social welfare benefits; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
