Re-appointment of An Coimisinéir Teanga: Motion (18 Feb 2010)

Dinny McGinley: Níor labhair an tAire chomh fada sin agus a bhí mé ag súil go labhródh sé. Ní raibh sé ach trí nóiméad ag caint agus bhí mé ag súil go mbeadh sé cúig nóiméad ag caint. Tá lúcháir an tsaoil orm deis a bheith agam cur leis an rún seo, an Coimisinéir Teanga a athcheapadh ar feadh téarma eile. Tá sé bliana caite aige i mbun a chuid dualgaisí agus sílim go...

I agree that we should acknowledge the huge contribution made by successive US Administrations to bringing about the peace...

[8287/10]

Security of the Elderly. (18 Feb 2010)

Dinny McGinley: I thank the Minister of State for his comprehensive report, but it does not answer the original question I submitted for priority, on another issue to do with elderly people. The Minister, Deputy Ó Cuív, has commented widely in the media in recent days and weeks on this issue, which affects elderly people living alone. It is inexplicable that I am unable to pursue it with the Minister in...

Security of the Elderly. (18 Feb 2010)

Dinny McGinley: Yes. I welcome the reintroduction of the community supports for older people scheme, which is needed now more than ever. This would be a terrible time to reduce funding for the scheme given that the CSO has indicated a 51% increase in the number of aggravated burglaries involving people in their homes. Will funding be made available in the current year to cater for all the applications...

Security of the Elderly. (18 Feb 2010)

Unemployment: Motion (23 Feb 2010)

Dinny McGinley: It is timely and appropriate that we are discussing this matter. It is probably the most serious crisis facing the country at the moment, with 434,000 unemployed. I do not intend to dwell on the national problem but on the local one that affects my constituency and county. I compliment Deputy Varadkar for tabling very practical, down-to-earth proposals. They do not amount to rocket...

Order of Business (25 Feb 2010)

Dinny McGinley: Ba mhaith liom ceist a chur ar an Tánaiste faoi reachtaíocht atá geallta le fada - le roinnt blianta - reachtaíocht í a bhfuil suim ag an Tánaiste inti tá mé cinnte, mar go mbaineann sí leis an Ghaeltacht. An reachtaíocht atá i gceist ná Bille Údarás na Gaeltachta. Cén uair an mbeidh an Bille sin á chur i láthair sa Dáil agus an mbeidh sé i láthair roimh thoghchán...
