Pearse Doherty: On three separate occasions I have raised an issue concerning pending legislation in this House. I would appreciate it if I could get an answer today.

- Fiscal Responsibility Bill 2012: Report Stage (6 Nov 2012)
Pearse Doherty: I do not accept the Minister's reply, which is similar to the reply which he gave on Committee Stage which did not deter me from trying to convince him of the merits of these proposals. There is nothing in the treaty that precludes us from taking into account the impact of the plan on economic growth, unemployment or public services. The treaty requires us to include in the plan the items...

Pearse Doherty: That is codswallop. The Minister knows well that when a troika programme is agreed the measures to which he referred, namely, taxation and spending cuts, have to be voted upon in a social welfare or finance Bill. He knew this well when he was in opposition and it did not stop him and the Taoiseach demanding a vote on the troika bailout programme. The reason was that we know well once the...
