Other Questions: Commemorative Events (26 Nov 2014)

Lucinda Creighton: My question relates to how and when the invitations to foreign dignitaries and overseas guests will be drawn up for the 1916 commemoration events. What input will the Minister and his Department have into that progress? Unfortunately, the commemoration has been mired in quite a degree of controversy, especially during recent months. The views of many of the relatives of the 1916 leaders...

Other Questions: Commemorative Events (26 Nov 2014)

Lucinda Creighton: I am not sure the Minister has fully answered the question I asked but it is interesting and informative to hear about what is planned, particularly for events, seminars, lectures and so on, across our embassy network. It is hugely important we get full value from our embassy network and that our ambassadors and their support teams have an opportunity to inform and communicate with our...

Other Questions: Commemorative Events (26 Nov 2014)

Lucinda Creighton: Specifically, I repeat my question. Does the Minister envisage in the process of inviting other Heads of State, a proposal of the Minister's that I support and which I think is the right thing to do, that it will extend to our nearest neighbours?

Finance Bill 2014: Report Stage (Resumed) (26 Nov 2014)

Lucinda Creighton: I do not have a difficulty with this amendment in principle because I do not believe that additional transparency can in any way cause a difficulty.

The idea of the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection...

Finance Bill 2014: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (26 Nov 2014)

Lucinda Creighton: I thank the Minister of State for his reply. Unfortunately, I cannot say I am satisfied with it. I appreciate that tax evasion takes place. There is tax evasion in every walk of life in Ireland and across the globe. We are all well aware of that and we all want to eliminate tax evasion. However, the provision set out in the Bill is a blunt instrument. It is too broad, it is not...

Finance Bill 2014: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (26 Nov 2014)

Lucinda Creighton: I want to make this point because it is very important. I will be brief. The property to which I refer has been a family home for three generations. As a result of the hugely unfair and anti-urban property tax being introduced by the Government at the time, however, the man by whom I was approached was going to be obliged to sell it. He had already paid a substantial whack of inheritance...

Finance Bill 2014: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (26 Nov 2014)

Lucinda Creighton: The Government is doing nothing to address that matter. What is proposed here is a family tax. It has nothing to do with establishing shrines to people's parents. What we are discussing here are the homes in which people have lived all their lives and out of which they are being forced as a result of the unfair policies being introduced by this Government.
