Court Accommodation. (25 Feb 2010)

John Perry: I thank the Ceann Comhairle for allowing this matter to be raised. I will be sharing time with Deputy Scanlon. Both of us see the importance of court in Ballymote that has served the people of the area for up to 100 years. I am glad to have the opportunity to raise this matter of the utmost importance. It has come to light that the Courts Service of Ireland is considering closing Ballymote...

Order of Business (25 Feb 2010)

John Perry: Yes, very much so. We have, in effect, no banking system in the country and no confidence or credit. Allied Irish Banks has created an excessive profit margin from doing business with customers. My point concerns promised legislation. As we speak, hundreds of jobs are being lost in every company in Ireland, but we have the inaction of the Tánaiste regarding job creation. We have, in...
