Leaders' Questions (17 Apr 2014)

Joan Collins: I am confused with regard to what the so-called row between the Tánaiste and the Taoiseach - and their respective parties - which began yesterday and which has continued this morning, is actually about. We know that the introduction of water charges was proposed by Fianna Fáil and that Labour has agreed to this new austerity tax. There is also no dispute that the Government has...

Leaders' Questions (17 Apr 2014)

Joan Collins: There is broad agreement between Labour and Fine Gael with regard to the various issues to which I refer. What, therefore, is in dispute? Why have members become so indignant and angry in the Chamber in recent days? Does not the real issue relate to the fact that Labour wants to delay the final decision and announcement relating to water charges until after the local elections next month?...

Leaders' Questions (17 Apr 2014)

Joan Collins: How the worm has turned. In 1997 those in the Labour Party opposed and campaigned against water taxes. They applauded and took the accolades when they were abolished in 1997. Now the Tánaiste is standing in the Dáil trying to make excuses for why people are going to be imposed with more taxes like water charges. Is it not the case that water and access to water is a basic human...

Leaders' Questions (17 Apr 2014)

Joan Collins: She said she suspected that legally we are entitled to water. She had no problem with excessive use of water and people being forced to pay for that. She makes the point that the Labour Party has become poacher turned gamekeeper and I believe she is correct in this regard. Can the Tánaiste stand over imposing another tax on all these people - the lowest 10% of people have only 3% of...

White Paper on Universal Health Insurance: Statements (Resumed) (17 Apr 2014)

Joan Collins: As part of this discussion, we need to look at where we are today and what has happened with our health system to date. We have a system that has been cut to the bone and a very demoralised workforce. The main problem for people is that it is very hard to get through the door. Once one is through that door, the staff look after one and one receives exemplary care. It is the wrong system....

Housing Provision: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (1 May 2014)

Joan Collins: I am not blaming anyone in particular, but we all know the housing problem has arisen from the dependence of successive Governments on the private rented sector and developers to provide housing. That policy was wrong before, is wrong now and will be wrong in the future. It has surprised many that the price of land is going up again. Irish housebuilder New Generation Homes, the first into...

Housing Provision: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (1 May 2014)

Joan Collins: Will you address the issue on that basis, rather than through these piecemeal proposals? While they are good, such as turning around 920 local authority houses from being voids, there are 90,000 people on the housing waiting lists. That measure will not even address the issue.
