Insurance Industry: Motion [Private Members] (1 Mar 2017)

Michael Fitzmaurice: I would like to support the motion but, as the previous speaker has said, I have been here for about two and half years and have spoken on many motions following which nothing has happened. Debates such as this one create a feelgood factor, but it is ordinary people who are suffering from the consequences of high insurance right around the country. We debated the issue of water this...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Bus Éireann: Discussion (Resumed) (1 Mar 2017)

Michael Fitzmaurice: Has anyone from the Minister's Department or from the NTA or some independent person gone in to look at the salaries of senior management in Bus Éireann? I am led to believe that in one depot, there are 19 people on over €1,500 per week. There are four people as managers on €100,000 a year.

Michael Fitzmaurice: Should there be a certain percentage to make sure that competition will be retained? As I see it, we are heading towards an awful lot of private buses. There will be private buses and they will be there but we are losing a lot of Bus Éireann, or what we would call CIE buses down the country. Do we not need to make sure that a certain threshold of buses are kept in all parts of the...
