Insurance Industry (19 Jan 2011)

Arthur Morgan: I accept entirely the restrictions on the Minister with regard to the regulator and the administrators. However, does the Minister accept this is a job retention situation and will he confirm whether he has had talks with people in Anglo Irish Bank? Clearly, he has unrestricted access to those people. If the Minister accepts this is a job retention issue, it should surely be part of...

Finance Bill 2011: Committee Stage (26 Jan 2011)

Arthur Morgan: I am opposed to these sections, which will impose a significant additional cost on businesses across the State. The consequence will be a significant drop in competitiveness, which will cost us jobs. The increase in the excise on diesel is punitive.
