Sale of State Assets (28 Feb 2012)

Clare Daly: This question was tabled before the Minister's announcement last week, but I am still none the wiser. It is regrettable that the announcement was made in the media and not in the House, which would have allowed us to debate some of these issues. The Minister says he has not spoken to union representatives but the question of job losses is critical. The Minister has attempted to dress up...

Sale of State Assets (28 Feb 2012)

Clare Daly: The Minister is dressing this up as a job-creation measure. However, apart from the job losses which inevitably flow from a privatisation - there has never been one that did not involve job losses - how does the Minister answer organisations such as the Woodland League, which would argue that a country such as Switzerland which is half the size of Ireland has twice the area of forest? While...

Treaty on Stability, Co-ordination and Governance in the Economic and Monetary Union: Statements (29 Feb 2012)

Clare Daly: People probably smiled as they listened to the Minister of State, Deputy Creighton, on the radio this morning. She said that jobs will be jeopardised if we do not vote "Yes". It is a clear case of history repeating itself, first as tragedy and then as farce. When we were voting on the Lisbon treaty, the same people told us we had to vote "Yes" for jobs. We now have a level of unemployment...

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

The company has been in existence for decades and has provided secure, permanent, pensionable employment...
