Questions on Promised Legislation (22 Nov 2017)

Mattie McGrath: A statutory instrument signed into law by the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Deputy Ross, about a month ago affects tractors which can do 40 km/h or more. The Minister has since announced that he is withdrawing it but I understand that a statutory procedure has to come before the House for the House to decide to undo or remove the statutory instrument.

Many people have taken their lives and many families are distraught, not to mention all the homeless people to whom we pay...

Finance Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) (22 Nov 2017)

Mattie McGrath: I support this important amendment. Our flagship industry is the agricultural economy.

They spend it with local suppliers and on local equipment. We cannot just pay lip service to the problem of income volatility...

Finance Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) (22 Nov 2017)

Mattie McGrath: The confidence supply seems to be very confident. Maybe my Fianna Fáil colleagues are over-confident that the Government is going to do what it says on the tin. Why do we need a review or report? Why has it not been done already? Is the permanent government totally in charge that it would not let it do it? The sooner that changes the better. The Minister can be ag gáire if he...
