- Cross-Border Projects (26 Apr 2012)
Peadar Tóibín: The issue of competition for investment and jobs is nonsense. That this island would have a plethora of enterprise organisations such as Enterprise Ireland, InterTradeIreland and Invest NI does not make sense. We also have the Northern Ireland Bureau and embassies across the planet, all of which are duplicating work. While there has been some improvements in this area, we have not achieved...

- Cross-Border Projects (26 Apr 2012)
Peadar Tóibín: If the Government's only objective was to set about creating a health service, which was efficient and ensured good services for the people of Ireland, would it slap a border in the middle of it? Would it create two Departments and two Administrations and duplicate the process? If the Government's only objective is to develop enterprise again, would the Government slap a border in the...

- Manufacturing Sector (26 Apr 2012)
Peadar Tóibín: The Government has focused on particular sectors, as is proper, but, as has been said, there is a pressing need to focus on manufacturing because of its benefits. Approximately 2.5 jobs come with every manufacturing job and 0.7 jobs with every service job. The Minister referred to competitiveness being regained by the State vis-Ã-vis other states. Deputy Wallace claimed the State is very...
- Job Creation (26 Apr 2012)
Peadar Tóibín: One of the problems is the timescales. In March 2011, the European progress microfinance facility became available. Since then, at least 2,000 companies have become insolvent, never mind the number of sole traders. Yet, we still do not have a start date for this programme. There is also the issue of accountability. The Taoiseach himself said he would hold Ministers to account yet we have...

- Turbary Rights (1 May 2012)
Peadar Tóibín: Some weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting turf cutters from the Moneybeg and Clare Island bog in Ross outside Mountnugent on the Cavan, Westmeath and Meath borders. We met to get some details on the issues facing them. They have been cutting turf for generations. In some cases three or four generations of families have cut turf to heat their homes. They use between 3 m and 6 m of bog...
- Turbary Rights (1 May 2012)
Peadar Tóibín: Will the Minister get in contact with the turf cutters in Moneybeg, Clare Island and Mountnugent because they want to cut turf but the Department has not been in contact with them? They are in limbo, so to speak, as far as knowledge and engagement is concerned.

- Scéimeanna Teanga (1 May 2012)
Peadar Tóibín: Is léir ón tuarascáil bhliantúil a d'fhoilsigh Oifig an Choimisinéara Teanga go bhfuil fadhbanna uafásacha ag titim amach mar gheall ar cur i bhfeidhm Acht na dTeangacha Oifigiúla. Tá an Acht sin in áit ionas go mbeidh daoine sa Ghaeltacht agus ar fud na tÃre in ann seirbhÃsà Stáit a fháil ina dteanga féin. Faoi láthair, nÃl siad in ann é sin a dhéanamh i gcónaÃ....
- Private Members' Business. Protection of Employees (Amendment) Bill 2012: Second Stage (1 May 2012)
Peadar Tóibín: I move: "That the Bill be now read a Second Time." How does one follow that contribution? FáiltÃm roimh an deis seo an Bille seo a chur os comhair na Dála.
