Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest (No. 2) Bill 2009: Committee and Remaining Stages (16 Dec 2009)

Arthur Morgan: I agree with the comments of the previous two speakers. People on community employment schemes might end up facing these cuts under the current structure of this Bill. It is bad enough as it is - scandalous - but that would be altogether outrageous. People on FÁS programmes might be caught in this net too and if that is the intention, the Government really has a lot to answer for. I agree...

Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest (No. 2) Bill 2009: Committee and Remaining Stages (16 Dec 2009)

Arthur Morgan: I support this Labour Party amendment, which exposes the fact that Government cronyism is alive and well even after the scandals in the banking sector and the property bubble which it allowed to continue. The Government has adopted the tactic of saying Anglo Irish Bank is a commercial entity and therefore it cannot have a proper public sector pension scheme. Perhaps the Minister of State...

Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest (No. 2) Bill 2009: Committee and Remaining Stages (16 Dec 2009)

Arthur Morgan: We have heard it all now. The Government has admitted this legislation has a grey fringe. To tell the truth, I have a grey fringe myself. When I first came in here seven years ago, I was six foot six with a head of jet black hair down to my shoulders. I might as well say that because that is as good a bull as the Minister of State is giving us. First, he tells us about the various...
