Priority Questions: Sale of State Assets (26 Feb 2014)

Priority Questions: Sale of State Assets (26 Feb 2014)

Mary Lou McDonald: If I have understood the Minister correctly, he will set out €400 million from the money in the bank from the special dividends. I understand that he must await the completion of the deal on BGE. I recall raising this matter with the Minister last December during an interview on Newstalk, when he stated that money raised from the sale of these State assets would be used to cover the...

Priority Questions: Sale of State Assets (26 Feb 2014)

Mary Lou McDonald: What concerns me is the Minister's claim that he has consistently asserted that the proceeds from the sale of State assets were explicitly intended for job creation. However, he has referenced these moneys in different ways. He has now resiled from his position and stated that they will not be used to finance voluntary redundancies in the public service. That was not his position last...

Priority Questions: Sale of State Assets (26 Feb 2014)

Mary Lou McDonald: Given the fact that the sale of these assets, which the Minister described as non-strategic, was controversial and questionable to begin with, the least we can expect from him is a consistent position in terms of how he proposes to use the moneys.

Other Questions: Flood Relief Schemes Expenditure (26 Feb 2014)

Mary Lou McDonald: Will the Minister of State comment on the issue of insurance for homes affected by floods? Obviously, homes and communities affected in the most recent storms are of primary concern. Equally, however, as a Dubliner, the Minister of State will be aware of many communities - some of them in my constituency - that have been repeatedly flooded. It is not because they are on the coast - they...
