- Proposed Legislation. (21 Mar 2006)
Brian O'Shea: Does the Minister of State agree the Government had no problem introducing legislation to convert the dormant accounts fund into a slush fund to aid it in the run-up to the next general election? Does he further agree that a significant amount lodged to the dormant accounts fund came from bank accounts belonging to emigrants to England, in particular? They lodged money in Irish banks with the...
- Proposed Legislation. (21 Mar 2006)
Brian O'Shea: I cannot fathom the Minister of State's logic regarding what the Government decided. Money in the dormant accounts fund is used for emigrant services and for the purposes he mentioned. Will the Minister of State at least acknowledge that a substantial number of dormant accounts, the proceeds of which were diverted into the dormant accounts fund, were held by emigrants to England, in...
- Proposed Legislation. (21 Mar 2006)

There have been problems, most notably with employment and work permits. A report is to be prepared on the pilot project run by Pobal, the Dublin Employment Pact and the Migrant Rights Centre Ireland. I understand the analysis was to have been completed by...

- Migrant Workers. (21 Mar 2006)
Brian O'Shea: I would not dream of doing that. There is no point in doing so.
- Migrant Workers. (21 Mar 2006)
Brian O'Shea: This is an important issue and every effort must be made to have an integrated and multicultural society. The Minister has informed us that no one is answerable to him or that he has no control over measures that are being drawn up for planning processes and good practices for migrant workers. Is that not an admission that he is doing nothing in the area? The issue of the integration and the...
- Migrant Workers. (21 Mar 2006)

- National Drugs Strategy. (21 Mar 2006)
Brian O'Shea: I thank the Minister of State for his reply but one sentence in it gave me cause for concern. That was a reference to a study of one drug to the exclusion of others. On the last occasion we debated these matters, I tabled a Priority Question on crack cocaine. We went through the various issues pertaining to the use of crack cocaine, which make it a much more dangerous drug than any of the...
