Order of Business (29 Jan 2009)

Eamon Gilmore: I thank the Tánaiste for offering that. Would she also ask the officials in the Department of Finance to tell us the revenue lost from a taxation point of view?

Order of Business (29 Jan 2009)

Eamon Gilmore: All I am trying to establish is — the Tánaiste has made an offer and I accept it — that the information regarding the additional social welfare cost will be made available to us, and I thank her for that.

Expenditure Control and Economic Strategy: Statements (3 Feb 2009)

Eamon Gilmore: With the exception, perhaps, of budget speeches, no statement from a Taoiseach has been as much awaited as that of the Taoiseach today. For some time, the country has been waiting to hear what the Government will do to deal with the economic crisis and the state of our public finances. We were expecting the major statement last week but we did not receive it because the Taoiseach said he...

Leaders' Questions (3 Feb 2009)

Eamon Gilmore: While we have been discussing this matter, the Exchequer figures for January have just been published. They show that the tax revenue for January 2009 was €900 million less than the revenue for January 2008. Has that figure been included in the calculations the Taoiseach announced here earlier today or has almost half of the €2 billion savings that he has just announced already...

Leaders' Questions (3 Feb 2009)

Eamon Gilmore: I ask the Taoiseach to put on the record of the House the total graduated amounts for each level of income. Figures in the public domain suggest 3% for people on €15,000; 3.8% at €20,000; 5.8% at €30,000; 7.5% at €50,000; 8.3% at €75,000; and 8.8% at €100,000. Does the Taoiseach believe it is fair that somebody on €15,300 a year would now pay €450 extra as a pension levy?...

Eamon Gilmore: That is right.

Leaders' Questions (3 Feb 2009)

Eamon Gilmore: The Taoiseach should read it out and put it on the record.

Leaders' Questions (3 Feb 2009)

Eamon Gilmore: I would like to pursue that matter somewhat further because people need to know the full impact of this. Will the Taoiseach clarify whether that is on the gross income or the net income?

Leaders' Questions (3 Feb 2009)

Eamon Gilmore: People will want to know if that is a reduction before tax or after tax. Those figures are in effect reductions in take home pay of that order. I ask the Taoiseach to clarify how the levy will apply and whether it is applying on full income.

Order of Business (3 Feb 2009)

Eamon Gilmore: I am a little surprised at the Tánaiste's answer to Deputy Kenny because the Government's legislative programme lists the National Pensions Reserve Fund (amendment) Bill which is to give effect to the Government decision to recapitalise the banks through the National Pensions Reserve Fund and related matters concerning the National Pensions Reserve Fund. The Tánaiste has just said that the...
