Mattie McGrath: Yes, I do not withdraw that charge. I do not include all members of the Judiciary but I said that in certain cases, certain eminent judges who themselves or their families were in major hock or had major borrowings, some of which were written off, presided over cases on which they should not have been involved.

Mattie McGrath: I too am appalled that the Government will not act. The old saying about laughing all the way to the bank is appropriate. The bankers are laughing all the way to the bank, inside the bank and all over the bank. They are literary piddling all over the people. Why not, since they get aplomb from the Government? Deputy Burton mentioned different cuts and what can be done for the...

Mattie McGrath: I also welcome this move and, as Deputy Fitzmaurice has done, I compliment Deputy Michael McGrath, along with his colleagues, Deputies Cahill and McConalogue, for pursuing this. We had this amendment before the finance committee and debated it with both Ministers, and the Minister, Deputy Donohoe, said he would consider it. It now has been dealt with and that is very welcome. The Minister...

Mattie McGrath: I am delighted to be able to speak on this amendment and I thank Deputy Michael McGrath for putting it forward. There are many such situations in County Tipperary but I have one organisation in particular in mind that is in the process of buying a new bus, namely, the Tipperary day care centre. It is a wonderful facility with a voluntary board scrapping and scrounging to try to pay the...

Mattie McGrath: I thank the Minister of State and Deputy Michael McGrath for dealing with this issue. I acknowledge what the Minister of State said about his own situation in Wexford and I am sure there are many such cases. I have a question about the mechanics of how and when, and the delay.

Some moves have been made by the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection, Deputy Regina Doherty, regarding PRSI, but the cohort of people to whom Deputy McGrath referred are mainly...
