Cabinet Committee on Economic Renewal (29 Sep 2010)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: It is unfortunate that Question No. 9 was grouped with the other eight questions. It had nothing to do with Cabinet committees, was a specific stand-alone question and could have been taken accordingly. That said, the Taoiseach should provide Members with a couple of examples of practical measures that were identified and agreed in the course of his meeting with senior representatives of...

Cabinet Committee on Economic Renewal (29 Sep 2010)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: Let us have a little common sense. There are practical steps that can be taken. It is not in contravention of EU diktat to break down tenders into smaller parcels. It happens in almost all other member states.

Cabinet Committee on Economic Renewal (29 Sep 2010)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: Bearing in mind that the meeting was just a week ago today, will the Taoiseach give us but two examples of practical measures, from what I am sure must have been a long agreed list, that will now be taken that resulted from the engagement with the 11 agencies and which we would be most happy to welcome if the Taoiseach is to stand over his proposals on job creation?

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: There are many so-called economic commentators who support the Taoiseach's particular approach.

All these points must be addressed together. We must address the deficit, not by the means that the Taoiseach has promoted over three...

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: Having listened to Deputy Kenny, I must state that what is at issue is not time provision. Apart from the fact that a guillotine of 9 p.m. is being applied, which is objectionable in itself and is an action usually the preserve of Government towards the end of a session rather than on the first day back, we are once again being asked by this Government to buy a pig in a poke. I do not need...

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: ——and who is being detained in Pearse Street Garda station since. I hope he is not detained too long.
