Micheál Martin: 225. To ask the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs if her attention has been drawn to the fact that the community run youth service for Cabra, Dublin, is being put at risk because her Department has not signed off on the funding allocation for 2013 and that independent auditors have advised the community board of management that they are unable to sign off on the youth service's accounts...

- Leaders' Questions (25 Apr 2013)
Micheál Martin: There is no doubt but that the cost of mortgages represents an extraordinary burden on thousands of families, many of whom see no light at the end of the tunnel. Some 96,000 households are in mortgage arrears for more than three months. The personal insolvency arrangements, in terms of the resolution of the issue of household debt, give complete control to the banks. To add to all of this...
- Leaders' Questions (25 Apr 2013)
Micheál Martin: The State owns AIB and the EBS and I asked the Tánaiste if the Government would intervene to have this rate increase reversed. The Keane report was published two years ago. However, nothing has happened during those two years in terms of the many sensible recommendations made in it. The mortgage interest subsidy was abolished. The bottom line is that families are facing an average...
- Leaders' Questions (25 Apr 2013)
Micheál Martin: -----but it seems that was just all optics. The Government is not even saying now that it will talk to them about this savage increase, which represents cynical profiteering and, in my view, is not in the interests of the shareholder ultimately because it will damage the economy. The fundamental question that needs to be asked is whether is it about just getting the banks sorted or the...

- Order of Business (25 Apr 2013)
Micheál Martin: This would seem to vindicate The Sunday Times report by Sarah McInerney from last Sunday which when I put it to the Taoiseach earlier this week he said he had no idea in the world from where it came. It now seems this Bill has been circulating in the Department of Health. I note and accept that the Ministers of State, Deputies Kathleen Lynch and White, are furious that it was suggested they...

Micheál Martin: What is Deputy Rabbitte suggesting?
- Order of Business (25 Apr 2013)
Micheál Martin: Will the Tánaiste confirm that this is the Bill which the Taoiseach referred to last week on the Order of Business? He said to me last week that the heads of the Bill in question would be circulated this week. This suggested it was well into its preparation, if not prepared. Is there work under way to produce a new or different Bill? Will he update and clarify the position on this...

In tandem with these issues, the Central...
