Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (3 Oct 2019)

Dara Calleary: Yesterday, we finally saw a proposal from the United Kingdom Government to amend the withdrawal treaty. Now that we have a written position, much of the speculation, bluff and bluster of recent weeks can be consigned for analysis of this position. The context of the position, however, leaves an awful lot of questions. There is a lack of detail and clarity. It is clear that there would be...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (3 Oct 2019)

Dara Calleary: I welcome that commitment. Will the Tánaiste clarify that it is his understanding of the current proposal in its current wording that there is potential for one party to veto this, regardless of which party that is? I am becoming increasingly frustrated by commentary from British politicians of all hues and commentators who do not seem to understand that the Border is not just an...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (3 Oct 2019)

Dara Calleary: I and many other Deputies have raised with the Tánaiste the issue of home help hours. The Tánaiste and the Minister for Health, Deputy Harris, keep telling us there is extra money going into the service, yet the number of people on waiting lists are increasing. There are 7,300 people on national waiting lists for home help hours and it is causing massive delays in our health...

Financial Resolutions 2019 - Financial Resolution No. 9: General (Resumed) (9 Oct 2019)

Dara Calleary: There is no doubt that Brexit dictated very difficult decisions yesterday. However, Fine Gael's incompetence over the national children's hospital and the national broadband plan made those decisions even more difficult and made the already narrow envelopes even narrower. Many figures stood out but the €365 million set aside in the event of a no-deal Brexit for social protection, for...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (10 Oct 2019)

Dara Calleary: Extraordinary reports are emerging on a High Court case held earlier this week about the payment of money by contractors to criminals to secure protection at a housing scheme, in this case, a social housing scheme. The details are extraordinary and the reports read like something from a mafia documentary or "The Sopranos". A message must be sent from this House that there is zero tolerance...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (10 Oct 2019)

Dara Calleary: The Government, not Dublin City Council, needs to appoint a completely independent investigator. The Tánaiste has confirmed that his office was cc'd in an email. Will he state the date on which this happened? The Minister for Justice and Equality, Deputy Flanagan, also needs to become involved because the payment of this money is absolutely not on and never was. Unfortunately, it has...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (10 Oct 2019)

Dara Calleary: This week's budget had a clear focus on Brexit. The cost of insurance is another threat to the viability of many small businesses, community festivals and - increasingly - charitable organisations. Earlier this week, I dealt with the case of a small business that employs approximately 20 people and has seen its insurance premium increase by 150% from €19,000 to €49,600. This...
