- Seanad: Budget 2015: Statements (14 Oct 2014)
Marie Moloney: Yes, he is. I want to refer to the social protection part of the budget, although it is difficult to speak about in depth when we do not have all the details, as the Tánaiste will announce them later. I will refer to some of the details I picked up from the budget speeches of the two Ministers. This is the first budget since 2009 that has been introduced without a cut. The Senators...

- Seanad: Vehicle Clamping Bill 2014: Committee Stage (15 Oct 2014)
Marie Moloney: I stated on Second Stage last week that there should be a time limit within which the clampers would return to release a car. In that way people will not have to wait for hours for their car to be released. If the clampers do not return within the required time, there should be a reduction in the fee or the fee should be waived. That could be inserted in what Senator O'Neill referred to as...

Marie Moloney: I welcome the Department’s good initiatives, such as the roll-out of the Intreo offices which have been very successful, the 3,000 new JobsPlus places and the family dividend, which the Minister assured me will not interfere with the family income supplement. Is it too early to know how many people on the JobsPlus scheme are kept on in permanent employment? We need to keep an eye on...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Pathways to Work: Department of Social Protection (15 Oct 2014)
Marie Moloney: I appreciate that, but when representatives of the Disability Federation of Ireland attended a committee meeting a couple of weeks ago, they said that people with disabilities were having difficulty accessing these schemes. That is why I raised the issue. I still think we have to look at equality. We cannot focus in the first place on our obligations to jobseekers. Anyone who wants to...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Pathways to Work: Department of Social Protection (15 Oct 2014)
Marie Moloney: The main priority of this Government, which should also be the main priority of the Opposition, is to get people back to work. These officials have given us their time today. They have gone through things in great detail with us. In that context, it is very disappointing that just two members of the committee are still here.
