Financial Resolution No: 2: Income Tax (7 Apr 2009)

Pat Rabbitte: The first point I wish to make is that these measures are likely to have a major deflationary impact. We have to seriously consider in light of the current state of economic activity the implications of that. In the October budget there was an increase of the equivalent of 1.5% of GDP. In February 1% was taken out and now 2% will be taken out over nine months. In other words, the...

Financial Resolution No. 11: General (Resumed). (8 Apr 2009)

Pat Rabbitte: Deputy Gilmore dealt with the role of Fianna Fáil in contributing to the state the country is in, but there is another party in Government. It is called the Green Party and before I forget it, I want to say a word or two about its contribution. When I left the Chamber last night, I was struck by an interview I caught almost accidentally by the deputy leader of the Green Party, Deputy Mary...

Financial Resolution No. 11: General (Resumed). (8 Apr 2009)

Pat Rabbitte: The €150 million for public transport is gone. There is nothing in it about bulbs, carrots or parsnips, so where are the fingerprints? Then it dawned on me that the Deputy was referring to the delivery of Dáil reform. That is where Deputy Gormley is now taking shelter, as he hid from the photograph of the Cabinet press conference yesterday. He is responsible for Dáil reform, but when...

Garda Investigations. (22 Apr 2009)

Pat Rabbitte: How long does the Minister intend continuing to tell the House that it is an interim report? This matter happened on 31 July last year. How long does the Minister think he needs in order to come in here and outline plain facts about this case? I ask him to stop sheltering behind the ombudsman commission. If he is not sheltering behind the skirts of the ombudsman commission he is...

Garda Recruitment. (22 Apr 2009)

Pat Rabbitte: May I take it from this response that the moratorium will have no effect on the Garda and that the figure will be 14,900, as the Minister informed me on 25 February? That appears to be the answer. The Minister should inform the House how many gardaí qualified in the first quarter of 2009, how many will qualify in the second quarter and how many he expects to qualify in each of the third...

Garda Recruitment. (22 Apr 2009)

Pat Rabbitte: I ask the Minister to look at the file. Is he seriously telling me that the file prepared for Question Time does not have the figures about which I asked?
