Protection of Employment (Exceptional Collective Redundancies and Related Matters) Bill 2007 [Seanad]: Second Stage (29 Mar 2007)

Arthur Morgan: Labour costs are somewhat cheaper in the North. For example, access to medical facilities is free of charge, paid for through general taxation.

Arthur Morgan: I support the Fine Gael motion before the House, as does my party. I am a little disappointed it did not go further in terms of calling on the Government to live up to the commitments under Kyoto. With the few weeks the Government has left to it for all time, or certainly for a long time into the future, it probably was not worth its while. With regard to dealing with CO2 emissions in the...

Arthur Morgan: Does the Minister of State accept that at the assessment point in 2005, many households were struck off the housing lists for failure to apply quickly enough to a local authority or, if they replied, because some minor error was detected in their applications?

Arthur Morgan: At the outset, I acknowledge the Minister's intervention with the British Secretary of State on this important issue and I ask him to keep at it.
