- Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Select Sub-Committee on Finance: Finance Bill 2013: Committee Stage (Resumed) (7 Mar 2013)
Liam Twomey: I refer to Deputy Róisín Shortall's contribution on tax reliefs and tax forgone. There is an obligation to include in tax returns a note on the availing of one of these tax reliefs. To some degree, therefore, Revenue can gauge the amount of tax forgone. I may be mistaken, but this was provided for in a previous Finance Act. Deputy Boyd Barrett referred to financial transactions...

Liam Twomey: If there is a company such as the one Deputy Boyd Barrett mentioned that is not making any active contribution, it is not a matter we should discuss during the passage of the Finance Bill but it is one that we should follow up. We should get more information on that company.

- Job Creation and Economic Growth: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (13 Mar 2013)
Liam Twomey: The Minister, Deputy Bruton, should be congratulated on the work he is doing to create jobs, training and opportunities within the constraints of our economic situation. Some €6 billion in funding is being provided from the pan-European fund that is being set up for youth unemployment and I hope we can obtain a significant proportion of that because youth unemployment is a significant...

- Health (Alteration of Criteria for Eligibility) Bill 2013: Second Stage (20 Mar 2013)
Liam Twomey: A previous speaker indicated that the legislation is rushed and stakeholders were not given an opportunity to discuss it. This is a pity because no mention has been made of the ongoing debate outside the House on the issues of eligibility and universality. Instead, we have heard tit-for-tat commentary, point scoring and remarks about what the Minister, Deputy Reilly, stated or did not state....
- Health (Alteration of Criteria for Eligibility) Bill 2013: Second Stage (20 Mar 2013)
Liam Twomey: Many resources are aimed at people aged over 70 years, but no one has suggested giving a medical card to every child under the age of five years. What about the young parents who are unsure about whether their children are sick because the latter cannot express what is wrong with them? No one believes that there is a need to discuss such people. Sinn Féin has its usual approach - give...

- Disability Services: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (21 Mar 2013)
Liam Twomey: From meeting people with disabilities on an individual and organisational level I know that in recent years they have felt let down and, to some degree, isolated. This is very much because they have seen a reduction in services. They are very aware of the resource issue, and they are more aware of it and the concerns it raises than some of those who comment on the issue in the House. Many...
- Other Questions: Mortgage Arrears (21 Mar 2013)
Liam Twomey: The issue I raise may be a constitutional matter. Is it possible under the Personal Insolvency Act to protect family income, while at the same time relieving mortgage holders of their debt burden and allowing them to get on with their lives, even if this may not involve protecting the family home?
