State Assets: Motion (Resumed) (29 Feb 2012)

Olivia Mitchell: I am delighted to get the opportunity to state my support for the disposal of State assets at a time when the best value can be obtained from their sale.

JobBridge Scheme (7 Mar 2012)

Olivia Mitchell: I welcome the Minister's response. As stated by her, the purpose of the JobBridge scheme is to bring people closer to employment. However, in this case - it is a bizarre anomaly - it is keeping people from employment. The Government has gone to a lot of trouble to assist young apprentices to finish their apprenticeships and these young graduate architects are in a similar position. As the...

Euro Area Loan Facility (Amendment) Bill 2012: Second Stage (Resumed) (7 Mar 2012)

Olivia Mitchell: I support the legislation which is aimed at the financial stability of Europe. It is not just Greece; it is this country and all of the other countries in Europe.

However, it is correct that we show solidarity with...
