Peadar Tóibín: Gabhaim buíochas as ucht deis a bheith agam labhairt ar an mBille. Rud an-thábhachtach é.

Credit Guarantee Bill 2012 [Seanad]: Report Stage (20 Jun 2012)

Peadar Tóibín: That is not true. The Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation said on Committee Stage that a charge of 0.8% was necessary to ensure it was within the bounds of State funding.

The figure of 2% has been...

European Council: Statements (26 Jun 2012)

Peadar Tóibín: It is not even a month since the people went to the polls on the issue of the austerity treaty. We are the lucky ones because most of the 495 million EU citizens did not get a chance to have their say at the polls. The Irish people said "Yes" with a very heavy heart.
