Mick Wallace: The truth is that we are being left in the dark on many of the issues surrounding this. I wish to God that the Government would stop hiding behind the Attorney General. The narrative has been put forward following the collapse that it was all the ODCE's fault. It was said that the mistakes made by the ODCE were due to funding issues and a lack of forensic accountants, and that these issues...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement (31 Jan 2019)

Mick Wallace: I am not asking the Minister about the ODCE; I am asking her if there is anything in the original report dealing with how the gardaí and the DPP behaved. Will she explain how the DPP decided to pursue a second trial, following the collapse of the first trial? The DPP was aware of the shortcomings in the investigation as far back as 2010. It should not have even allowed the case to go...

Ratification of EU and NATO Status of Forces Agreements: Motion (5 Feb 2019)

Mick Wallace: We will vote against the motion. We disagree very strongly with what is going on. As Deputies Boyd Barrett and Pearse Doherty have said, our neutrality is growing into a myth and has not really existed for a long time. The motion has been presented as a completely necessary formality that Ireland should agree to for Irish forces to take part in peacekeeping and training missions throughout...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Greenhouse Gas Emissions (6 Feb 2019)

Mick Wallace: The meat and dairy herds are to Ireland what the coal industry is to Poland and the fracking gas industry is to the United States, namely, a short-sighted cash generator, the expansion of which is undermining the chances of survival of the planet and the people of the global south and in less than a generation the people of the global north. We are food insecure in Ireland. We have been a...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Greenhouse Gas Emissions (6 Feb 2019)

Mick Wallace: The report dating from 2010 on the green credentials of the dairy sector which has been cited by the Minister for years was rated only satisfactory in terms of the reliability of its data.

Both the beef and dairy sectors and the gas fracking sector are disastrously carbon emitting and must be significantly...
