- Seanad: Social Welfare and Pensions (No. 2) Bill 2014: Committee Stage (16 Dec 2014)

- Seanad: Social Welfare and Pensions (No. 2) Bill 2014: Committee Stage (16 Dec 2014)
David Cullinane: It is helpful for the Minister, and they are grouped anyway. Before I deal with the deferred pension issue and the Irish airlines superannuation scheme, IASS, I want to commend the Minister for reaching an agreement with the former Waterford Crystal workers. I know Kevin Mulvey was involved as well in terms of trying to get a resolution for those workers. This was a case of a double...
- Seanad: Order of Business (17 Dec 2014)
David Cullinane: I would agree with Senator Craughwell that it is not good politics that we rush Bills through at the end of the year.

David Cullinane: I would like to comment on the suggestion made by Brian Hayes, MEP, that "we need to have an honest debate about this, rather than this kind of attacking Johnny foreigner kind of UKIP, au français national, Sinn Féin position". I find that deeply offensive. I think he should withdraw his remarks. By lumping Sinn Féin in with the National Front in France or anywhere else, or...
- Seanad: Order of Business (17 Dec 2014)
David Cullinane: It is absolutely outrageous. It does nothing for the issue at all. Sinn Féin is clearly an anti-racist party. It clearly believes in multiculturalism. It has very progressive policies. It has consistently called for progressive reform of our immigration policies. This type of politics is despicable. I do not like the rise of UKIP. I do not like the rise of the far right anywhere...
