- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Public Service Reform Plan: Discussion with Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform (22 Nov 2012)
Liam Twomey: I would like to focus on the Minister's plans for information technology. In the long term, this country has to develop an IT policy and get IT working properly throughout the public sector. A piecemeal approach is being taken across the various sectors at present. It is amazing that some schools are using iPads while other schools have nothing other than the most basic IT supports for...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Public Service Reform Plan: Discussion with Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform (22 Nov 2012)
Liam Twomey: Is Mr. Reid talking about a top-down, bottom-up ICT policy unit? Some schools are moving towards the use of tablets and away from the use of schoolbooks.

The one time the GP uses a biro is to sign a prescription. Other...

- Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Select Sub-Committee on Public Expenditure and Reform: Estimates for Public Services 2012
Vote 12 - Superannuation and Retired Allowances (Supplementary) (28 Nov 2012) Liam Twomey: I agree with Deputy McDonald that many people find it difficult to understand why some people are in receipt of such substantial pensions, especially as some of them may not deserve them and the country can ill afford them. At the same time, when putting forward proposals, we must try to be as realistic as possible. I am sure the Minister of State got his advice from the Attorney General,...

Vote 12 - Superannuation and Retired Allowances (Supplementary) (28 Nov 2012) Liam Twomey: I ask the Minister of State to give us that information in tabular form so that people can understand the debate. This is a very serious issue that greatly concerns people on the street.
