Chapter 21: Control over the Supply of High-Tech Drugs and Medicines (22 Oct 2015) Seán Fleming: I have a final short question. When we were talking about the debt of private health insurance companies, it was suggested that quite a bit of the figure of €290 million could be attributed to the failure of consultants to sign off.

Chapter 21: Control over the Supply of High-Tech Drugs and Medicines (22 Oct 2015) Seán Fleming: Does that not alert the HSE to a problem? That they will not sign the forms to get their fees - one would think this means they have income due to them - suggests to me that they think they should not be signing those forms. How can the HSE include what it is due from the hospitals as income if consultants are willing to forego the fees that the HSE believes are due to them as part of the...

- Management Fees (Local Property Tax) Relief Bill 2015: Second Stage [Private Members] (23 Oct 2015)
Seán Fleming: I move: "That the Bill be now read a Second Time." I wish to commence the Second Stage debate on the Management Fees (Local Property Tax) Relief Bill 2015. Essentially, the Bill is an amendment to the Finance (Local Property Tax) Act 2012 to make provision for a partial - I stress the word "partial" - exemption of property tax payable by a relevant owner whose property is located in a...
- Management Fees (Local Property Tax) Relief Bill 2015: Second Stage [Private Members] (23 Oct 2015)
Seán Fleming: I want to briefly reiterate the essence of the Management Fees (Local Property Tax) Relief Bill 2015. The Bill proposes that where a person is liable to pay an annual management fee to a management company in respect of a property, he or she should have a partial exemption in respect of his or her local property tax in the relevant year on confirmation that the management fee has been paid....
- Management Fees (Local Property Tax) Relief Bill 2015: Second Stage [Private Members] (23 Oct 2015)
Seán Fleming: The Minister of State attacks us for what we did four or five years ago but if he wants to go back some 40 years to attack us, he will need a new generation of scriptwriters because most people under 50 will not know what it is about. We know our political history, so we know what was involved. It is not true to state that money has not been ring-fenced since the removal of domestic rates...
- Management Fees (Local Property Tax) Relief Bill 2015: Second Stage [Private Members] (23 Oct 2015)
Seán Fleming: Then let us talk about it. The motor tax of approximately €1 billion, the local property tax of approximately €500 million and the money from the plastic bag levy were ring-fenced for the local government fund each year. As a result, saying that money has not been ring-fenced since the abolition of domestic rates in 1977 can only be explained by someone getting carried away...
- Management Fees (Local Property Tax) Relief Bill 2015: Second Stage [Private Members] (23 Oct 2015)
Seán Fleming: It is the public sector - I do not distinguish between Revenue or the Department of Finance in this instance. It is an extraordinary admission of failure in the public service. If that is the public service over which the Government presides, then it is not doing a good job. It is not satisfactory that the Department of Finance can say that and it is extraordinary that the Government is...
- Management Fees (Local Property Tax) Relief Bill 2015: Second Stage [Private Members] (23 Oct 2015)
Seán Fleming: A menu of options was considered. We had a four-year economic plan and the troika accepted that plan. The troika came and went without Irish Water ever having to be established. The troika came and went without water rates having to be introduced. When the troika went home and were safely back in their beds in New York or Europe, Fine Gael introduced its plan for Irish Water.

Seán Fleming: The memo to which the Minister of State referred mentioned a small organisation - perhaps a bit like the National Roads Authority, with a staff of 25 or 30 - with the work continuing to be done by the local authorities. A referendum was referred to, and this was correct because the model chosen by the Government, in which it took responsibility away from local authorities in order to set up...

Seán Fleming: The Minister of State knows as well as I that, once a commercial water service is available in Ireland, EU competition rules will insist that the market be opened up. We do not have to talk about a referendum or who owns the pipes. The same happened with the supply of electricity. The ESB used to supply electricity but it has been forced, through competition, to divest over 50% of its...
- Management Fees (Local Property Tax) Relief Bill 2015: Second Stage [Private Members] (23 Oct 2015)
Seán Fleming: This will be an issue to debate in the coming election. To return to this legislation on management fees for local property tax, we just want a partial exemption from the local property tax, in a very modest amount equal to one third of the management fee - where people are paying such a fee - or €300, whichever is the lower. In most cases the amount will be only €86. I am...
