Leaders' Question (15 Sep 2011)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Tá áthas orm go dtógfar Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí ar an Déardaoin feasta. I welcome the introduction of Leaders' Questions and I hope the Tánaiste's replies will be clear and concise.

Leaders' Question (15 Sep 2011)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I note-----

Leaders' Question (15 Sep 2011)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I note the decision made by the Government yesterday to sell its final 25% holding of Aer Lingus along with 25% of ESB. Does not the sale of the 25% of Aer Lingus prove that, despite the assurances given in advance of the partial sale of Comhlucht Siúcra Éireann and that airline, once one starts selling parts of State companies one heads down an inexorable route towards total privatisation?

Leaders' Question (15 Sep 2011)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Would the Tánaiste not agree that the sale of even 25% of ESB will change its nature from a company that operates in the national interest to one which serves the narrow interest of financial returns to shareholders? I would appreciate it if he could outline the Government's thinking in terms of realising money from State assets in this fashion.

Leaders' Question (15 Sep 2011)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I take it from the Tánaiste's reply that up to 49% of ESB might be sold. Can he confirm that the transmission assets, which comprise the power cables as well as the network, will be retained in 100% State ownership and will not be transferred to Eirgrid? Can he also clarify whether the transmission system in Northern Ireland, which is owned by ESB, will be retained in State ownership or...

Reform of the Common Agricultural Policy: Motion (Resumed) (15 Sep 2011)

Éamon Ó Cuív: It is important to have this serious debate on the future of agriculture in this country. I am concerned that in trying to support agriculture in eastern Europe it should not be done on the backs of Irish farmers. I cannot understand how milk quotas operate in the European Union. There is an EU quota but they also have national quotas. At a time when the EU is under quota by 10%, Britain,...

Éamon Ó Cuív: I know that and we have to keep fighting.

Reform of the Common Agricultural Policy: Motion (Resumed) (15 Sep 2011)

Éamon Ó Cuív: When the Government side was in opposition they complained about everything we did. Now that they are in government, however, they are saying "You were right all the time". That is how it is - we kept fighting for those things. If we lost we came back and fought again. The Government's attitude, however, is that it is doing a great job and will not change anything. I am very disappointed...
