Appropriation Bill 2014: Second Stage (18 Dec 2014)

Seán Fleming: I welcome the opportunity to speak on the Appropriation Bill 2014. Essentially, the purpose of the Bill is to give statutory authority for the amounts voted by the Dáil during the year either by way of the original Estimates or Supplementary Estimates. The Bill deals with expenditure of €42.657 billion in 2014. This seems like a big figure and in fact it is a big figure. The...

Appropriation Bill 2014: Second Stage (18 Dec 2014)

Seán Fleming: Shortly after that on "Morning Ireland" I heard a spokesperson for the Simon Community who said there had been a 41% increase in homelessness in the past two years. This is a direct result of this Government's actions. In 2014 the Government cut maternity benefit. The Minister of State, the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Deputy Howlin, and the Tánaiste and Minister for...

Appropriation Bill 2014: Second Stage (18 Dec 2014)

Appropriation Bill 2014: Committee and Remaining Stages (18 Dec 2014)

Seán Fleming: I accept that. This is probably the first time ever and the Bills Office was surprised to find somebody putting forward amendments, probably for the first time ever. I am proud of that, because the Government should be answerable to the Chamber. I expect the Minister of State would agree with that. My first amendment asks for the Minister, within 12 days of the passing of the Act,...

Appropriation Bill 2014: Committee and Remaining Stages (18 Dec 2014)

Seán Fleming: That is the response I expected, because the Minister is not capable of producing a breakdown. That is why he will not produce a report. It would not hold up the legislation, because I specifically asked for the report to the published following the passage of the Bill in due course. He would have time to do that, and it would not interfere with this legislation. The Minister of State is...

Appropriation Bill 2014: Committee and Remaining Stages (18 Dec 2014)

Seán Fleming: I am opposing section 1. In the past 60 minutes the Minister of State has got the gist of what I want to say. As he rightly said, there is no new Government policy decision being announced today, there is no change of approach by the Government and there is nothing new in the legislation. All it does is give statutory effect to every expenditure choice the Government has made during the...
