An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (22 Oct 2019)

David Cullinane: I want to raise a matter in respect of No. 40afor Thursday, namely, the statements that will be taken on the report from the Committee on Procedure. I know we are dealing with Tuesday but I ask the Ceann Comhairle to bear with me for a second. There may well be a vote called on the Order of Business for Tuesday's sitting. If that is the case, it does eat into time and we may not get to...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (22 Oct 2019)

David Cullinane: Yes. I am saying that if a vote is called, that will not preclude us from being able to put questions in respect of Thursday's sitting.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (22 Oct 2019)

David Cullinane: This concerns the Thursday sitting and the 40-minute debate that is being put aside for the report from the Committee on Procedure on the voting record last Thursday. I have a number of questions on this matter for the Ceann Comhairle.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (22 Oct 2019)

David Cullinane: I do not believe that 40 minutes is adequate and we will be opposing the Order of Business on this basis. Second, it is not clear where the Taoiseach said that the Deputies involved, namely, Deputies Dooley, Niall Collins and Lisa Chambers, will be present in the Chamber and would be in a position to field questions. That is not clear. Maybe Teachta Micheál Martin would-----

Child Maintenance: Motion (22 Oct 2019)

David Cullinane: It is worth reminding the House that it has been four years since the then Minister for Social Protection, Deputy Burton, cut payments to lone parents. Of all the attacks on people during the austerity years that one ranked as one of the most vicious and worst cuts. At the time, I described it as slash and burn politics but I was not on my own. The Minister of State, Deputy Finian McGrath,...

Child Maintenance: Motion (22 Oct 2019)

David Cullinane: I do not see him, as a Minister of State supporting Fine Gael, showing the same level of urgency or robustness as he did when he was in opposition. We warned then, as did the Minister of State and campaigning groups, that the measure would impoverish lone parent families. However, our efforts were to no avail. The Minister was not for turning and the cuts are still in place. The Minister...

Public Ownership of the National Broadband Network: Motion [Private Members] (23 Oct 2019)

David Cullinane: I am sharing time with Deputies Stanley and Fitzmaurice. The Minister was disingenuous in his opening remarks when responding to the Labour Deputies. He said my party and other Opposition parties were treating people in rural areas of Ireland as second-class citizens; nothing could be further from the truth. Everybody in this House wants people in rural areas to have proper broadband. I...

Finance Bill 2019: Second Stage (23 Oct 2019)

David Cullinane: I welcome the opportunity to speak on the Finance Bill and to again offer a critique of the Government's budget, some of the measures included in it, and more importantly for Sinn Féin, some measures that should have been included and were not because the Government made the wrong choices and failed to give workers and families a break that they needed. I will begin with the increase...

Public Ownership of the National Broadband Network: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (24 Oct 2019)
