- Environment (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2014: Report Stage (Resumed) (2 Jul 2015)
Ruth Coppinger: When I looked at this, I tried to understand why we would be lowering a fine for breaches of waste collection legislation. Who is the Minister targeting? I assume he is not talking about large waste management companies with large contracts. I had the impression on reading it that he might be directing it at smaller-scale clothes collectors and the preponderance of unofficial collecting of...
- Written Answers — Department of Public Expenditure and Reform: Public Sector Pay (2 Jul 2015)
Ruth Coppinger: 13. To ask the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if he will provide calculations as to the average effect of cost of living increases as calculated by the CPI since the advent of the economic crisis on the take home pay of public servants earning €30,000, €40,000 and €50,000; and the estimated impact of cost of living increases on the same categories of public...

There was the ridiculous case last year of a woman from Donegal driven to Dublin in a taxi to be jailed in Dublin. This debate is not being held on a normal sitting day....
- Civil Debt (Procedures) Bill 2015: Second Stage (3 Jul 2015)
Ruth Coppinger: It will render the process set out in the Bill inoperable. There is no way hundreds of thousands of people - 500,000 or more - can be brought to court, as the courts would not be able to cope. It would be at least two to three years before anybody would face it. There will be a mass campaign that will bring down Irish Water and this Bill certainly will not deal with those boycotting the...
