- Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Bill 2013: Second Stage (Resumed) (1 May 2013)
Joanna Tuffy: It was all over the country but the Deputy is right, it was in Dublin. The Bill will reinstate a provision for repossession which was always there but, as people have said, was put in doubt by the 2009 legislation and its subsequent interpretation by the courts. When it was passed it was on the understanding that the repossession provision would apply. It is absolutely wrong for people to...

- Committee on Education and Social Protection: Select Sub-Committee on Education and Skills: Further Education and Training Bill 2013: Committee Stage (1 May 2013)
Joanna Tuffy: Is it appropriate not to have a definition of "further education" in the Bill? Is that not the normal practice? We are discussing the "Further Education and Training Bill 2013" and "further education" is mentioned in other parts of the Bill. While it may be difficult to come up with a definition of "further education", at the same time is it a good idea not to have it defined in the Bill?...

As a matter of policy, however, there should be such a definition. We...
