I thank the Oireachtas library and research service as usual for its fine analysis of the Bill and on its information on the key issues for carers. It is a very short but important Bill. Throughout my career, I have tried to advocate as strongly as possible for carers and believe...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Summer Economic Statement: Discussion (11 Jul 2018)

Tommy Broughan: I welcome the Minister and his colleagues from the Department. The Minister has changed some of the words this year, but he is giving us the same old tune, particularly regarding tax expenditures. Is it still the Minister's intention to cut income tax significantly? A figure of €266 million was thrown around at one stage. Do I detect tension between the Minister and the Taoiseach...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Summer Economic Statement: Discussion (11 Jul 2018)

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Summer Economic Statement: Discussion (11 Jul 2018)

Tommy Broughan: I think the actual Garda budget is €1.65 billion. Why would the Minister borrow to finance cuts in taxation? This again seems to be an incredible ideological position. Sometimes listening to the type of words that are used, "prudence" and so on, one could be listening to the Minister's predecessors back in the 1920s or 100 years ago. They took a very narrow view of the new...

Leaders' Questions (11 Jul 2018)

Tommy Broughan: I would like to ask the Taoiseach about the high-level report on the Department of Justice and Equality, which was produced by Mr. Ó Ríordáin and which, according to Mr. Pat Leahy, makes some important points regarding accountability and the budget and resources of An Garda Síochána. When will that be published? Will the Dáil get a chance to discuss it? Why...

Leaders' Questions (11 Jul 2018)

Tommy Broughan: When the Taoiseach is walking around the country and when we are walking around constituencies, the one thing that always sticks in one's mind when crime and bad antisocial behaviour are raised, as happens regularly, is that people want to see gardaí - male and female - on the streets. The visibility of gardaí is missing, and that is a key problem. It is about resources, numbers,...

Obviously, as we go on post-2020 and begin to deal this new multiannual financial framework, there will be a huge and growing impact on our budgets and we also have concerns that there will be gaps in the Common...
