Housing Strategy: Statements (Resumed) (20 Jul 2016)

Michael D'Arcy: I am sharing time with Deputy Maria Bailey. The area I would like to raise is affordable housing.

Government Appeal of European Commission Decision on State Aid to Apple: Motion (7 Sep 2016)

Michael D'Arcy: This is about tax, tax owed by whom, where it was to be owed and who it was to be paid to.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Rising Cost of Motor Insurance: Discussion (Resumed) (15 Sep 2016)

Michael D'Arcy: I will be very quick. I would like to ask about the SFCR reporting for 2016 and the Solvency II rules. I presume they must be met in the other jurisdictions where these products are offered. How can that be offered as a reason for a rise of X percent in premiums? If that were the case, the rise in premiums and profits in other countries and jurisdictions should be similar to here.

Michael D'Arcy: It is good to be able to kick these issues about. Practically all the focus has been upon rivers, towns and villages, which I can understand as that is where settlements are. However there is a more individual area that is being ignored, namely, the coastal areas. I shall cite an example. The Minister spoke about the minor works for the local authorities, which is good.
