Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I dtosach báire, ba mhaith liom tacú leis an leasú atá molta ar an Riar Gnó ar maidin go dtiocfaidh an tAire, an Teachta Phil Hogan, isteach le labhairt faoi an muirir teallaigh - an household charge - inniu. I raised the issue of the household charge on three occasions. It was very interesting, and I welcome the expression by Senators O'Neill and Harte of interest in the Six Counties....

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ba mhaith liom cuidiú leis an moladh atá déanta ag mo chomhleacaí. Sílim go bhfuil ciall leis, sa mhéid is go gcosnódh an t-athrú atá molta €117 milliún, mar adúirt an t-Aire. Is é an cás a chuirfinn, ná gurb shin €117 milliún a rachadh díreach ar ais ins an gcóras airgid. Táimid ag caint ar dhaoine ar ioncam an-íseal go deo, atá strachailte ó lá go lá ó thaobh...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Go raibh maith agat a Leas-Chathaoirligh agus go raibh maith ag an Aire, ach is le díomá atá mé ag éisteacht leis an bhfreagra a thug sé. Tá cupla pointe gur mhaith liom a dhéanamh maidir leis an gcuid seo den mBille. Ar dtús, tá sé ag bualadh na daoine is boichte inár sochaí, iad atá buailte cheana féin. Chomh maith leis sin, is cáin breise í ar mhuintir na tuaithe, na...

Seanad: Finance Bill 2012 (Certified Money Bill): Committee and Remaining Stages (22 Mar 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: While I appreciate the Minister's comments, I believe the point made by Senator O'Brien is very important. The Government tells us it is not increasing income tax but saying so is really a sleight of hand.

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire. Tá sé an-ghnóthach faoi láthair ach táim buíoch de as teacht isteach leis an ábhar seo a phlé. Is dócha go léiríonn an mhíchinnteacht a bhaineann leis an rún seo nuair a chuir muid isteach é cén Aire a bheadh ag plé leis cuid den chúis a raibh muid ag iarraidh an cheist seo a chur maidir le bia GM nó genetically modified food. When we tabled...
