Social Welfare Bill 2010: Committee and Remaining Stages (9 Dec 2010)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Questions will arise but given the short time we have we will not reach them on Committee or Report Stages to elicit all of the information. The Government is rushing through this legislation. It is a pity it does not rush to the election, as I stated earlier. We should have dealt with this during an election campaign in which all of the platforms were put to the people prior to the...

Social Welfare Bill 2010: Committee and Remaining Stages (9 Dec 2010)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: That is why I asked for confirmation that the Labour Party if in government would reverse these cuts, and I welcome the fact that it would reverse each and every one of the cuts contained in this Bill. We are dealing with a Bill which is odious because it targets those who are dependent. Social welfare supports employment in the real economy and the effects will be that people working in...

Social Welfare Bill 2010: Committee and Remaining Stages (9 Dec 2010)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Déanfaidh mé iarracht gan déileáil leis an rud ar fad. Sa chuid seo den Bhille, táimid ag déileáil le ciorruithe ar íocaíochtaí ar réimse mór fada. Do na daoine siúd ag a bhfuil post agus maoin, ní dhéanfaidh sé an méid sin difríochta go mbeidís thíos €8 sa tseachtain ach sa chás seo is figiúr substaintiúil é don chuid is mó de na daoine atá ag braith ar...

Handling of Criminal Matter in Longford: Statements (10 Dec 2010)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Mar aon le Teachtaí eile, ba mhaith liom comhbhrón ó chroí a leathadh le Marie Keegan, a clann ar fad, a cáirde, a comharsana agus dóibh siúd uilig a raibh aithne acu ar Noel Keegan, fear céile, mac, athair agus cara nár cóir a bheith marbh.

Community Development (14 Dec 2010)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Question 63: To ask the Minister for Community; Equality and Gaeltacht Affairs his views on whether the community sector cannot absorb any further cuts because they are already stretched beyond their limits as a result of the disproportionate cuts already imposed and as a result of the increasing demands on them; if he will offer a commitment that there will be no further cuts to the sector...

Community Development (14 Dec 2010)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I will be brief although there is much that could be said on this question. Does the Minister agree that the cuts made to the community and voluntary sector during the economic crisis have been grossly disproportionate? Moreover, the culmination of the combined cuts from last year and this year is that there will be quite a high number of job losses in the sector. Does the Minister agree...

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Ba mhaith liom an Dáil a chur ar athló chun an cheist rí-thábhachtach seo a phlé, namely, the need for the Government to bring forward legislation to properly regulate shops offering cash for gold, which shops seek to take advantage of the economic circumstances of the least well off and are leading to an increase in burglaries as thieves target jewellery now more than ever. I am aware...
