- Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Job Creation (20 Jan 2016)
Peadar Tóibín: Let us look at the figures more closely. The Minister says 135,000 jobs have been created, but he takes the base year as 2012. The Government took office in 2011. In that period, supposedly 120,000 jobs have been created. In the same period of time, the number on activation courses has jumped from 50,000 to 80,000. Of the 120,000 is it safe to assume that 30,000 are activation jobs or...
- Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Job Creation (20 Jan 2016)
Peadar Tóibín: The waters are muddied to a certain extent with regard to these figures and much of the truth is hidden. However, if one adds the numbers of people who are under-employed, on activation schemes and who have been forced to emigrate, the total amounts to approximately 334,000. If one then adds the number of people who are on the live register, one reaches a total of 662,000 people. Those...

Peadar Tóibín: 9. To ask the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation the actions he will take before the end of this Dáil Éireann to prevent workers from being forced into bogus self-employment and forced self-employed contracts. [2067/16]
- Other Questions: Employment Rights (20 Jan 2016)
Peadar Tóibín: As this Government's term in office draws to a close, the cancer of bogus self-employment still exists within the State - in the construction industry and many other sectors. It has hollowed out the working conditions of ordinary workers around the country. In some sectors, direct labour is becoming rarer and is also affecting the Government's tax income. Recently, the Labour Party stated...
- Other Questions: Employment Rights (20 Jan 2016)
Peadar Tóibín: Lord give the workers rights but just not yet. There are 365,000 RTCs in the State and it is estimated that approximately 80% of them are bogus - in other words, they are workers who should be directly employed but are subcontracting. This means that employers get to shirk their responsibility with regard to the minimum wage, employer PRSI, illness benefit and jobseekers' benefit. The...
- Other Questions: Employment Rights (20 Jan 2016)
Peadar Tóibín: ICTU has estimated that €600 million has been lost in taxation revenue since 2007, which is a multiple of the water charge income for the State. There are 27,000 sole traders paying approximately €2,886 in PRSI payments in an Exchequer year. Not only does this really hurt families in those sectors but it also hurts the income of the State. The Minister of State said that he...

- Credit Guarantee (Amendment) Bill 2015: Report and Final Stages (20 Jan 2016)
Peadar Tóibín: One of the great failures of this Government concerns credit to small business and the debt distress that exists among thousands of small business owners. It is a fact that, in creating two pillar banks, the Government created an oligopoly. It should be no surprise that those pillar banks display oligopolistic behaviour. In other words, they have great supplier power while customers right...
- Credit Guarantee (Amendment) Bill 2015: Report and Final Stages (20 Jan 2016)
Peadar Tóibín: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire agus le foireann na Roinne mar gheall ar an mBille seo. Is trua é go mbíonn meon an Rialtais maidir le tuairimí an Fhreasúra dúnta i gcónaí. Rinneamar a lán iarrachta feabhas a chur ar an mBille seo, ar feadh trí uair a' chloig, agus níor éist an Rialtas linn ag an am. Chuir sé bac ar ár...
