Seanad: VAT Rate for Tourism and Hospitality Sectors: Statements (Resumed) (19 Oct 2022) See 1 other result from this debate

Shane Cassells: On 15 June this year at a meeting of the Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sports and Media, the Irish Hotels Federation, IHF, attempted the magic trick of on one hand arguing for the extension of the 9% VAT rate and on the other hand defending escalating costs in the hotel sector for bedroom prices, a trick that Paul Daniels himself would have been proud of. However, in sawing that...

Seanad Public Consultation Committee: Other Voices on the Constitutional Future of the Island of Ireland: Unionist Community (14 Oct 2022) See 1 other result from this debate

Shane Cassells: I welcome our guests. I loved Mr. Pollak's contribution. As a journalist, he chose his adjectives differently than politicians would. He put a bit more grizzle on them and used a bit more punch. He used the phrase, "Will the people of the Republic be able to stomach the profound changes that are required", be those in respect of flags, anthems or these Parliament Buildings. Deputy Ó...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (12 Oct 2022)

Shane Cassells: The issue of policing is one that all of us grapple with regularly. The announcement in the budget that 1,000 additional gardaí will be allocated and provided for is very welcome. However, the issue of allocation and where those gardaí eventually find themselves in our local towns and villages is one I think we all have concerns about. When we raise that in here, if we have a...

Seanad Public Consultation Committee: Young Voices on the Constitutional Future of the Island of Ireland: Discussion (30 Sep 2022)

Shane Cassells: I wish to extend a warm welcome to all of our witnesses. Senator Boyhan talked about how great it is to hear the voice of youth in this Chamber. As the youngest Senator present, I want to say, among all of my distinguished colleagues, how great it is to represent the voice of youth on this side. I thank the Chair for organising today and ensuring that dialogue happens. As previous...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (28 Sep 2022)

Shane Cassells: We had budget speeches in the Seanad yesterday evening to dissect and welcome the packages worth €90 billion throughout all Departments. A very small aspect of the budget mentioned yesterday, on which I had certainly campaigned for a number of years in association with Local Ireland and NewsBrands, was the elimination of VAT on newspapers. It has gone from 9% to zero and this will...

Shane Cassells: I welcome all of the witnesses. This committee is honoured to have them here representing such a breadth of talent in this country. That is the very essence of this committee and we are honoured to have them. I was struck by Mr. Roche's comment about writing music and then asking what he should do next to put all of the other components together. His comment brought back to me an...

Shane Cassells: I thank the Leas-Chathaoirleach. It is great to have the Minister of State, Deputy Fleming, in the Chamber on this very significant day when we see expenditure on this country's budget exceed €90 billion. As I sat in the Dáil today and listened to both Ministers, Deputies Donohoe and Michael McGrath, I thought about the bravado of the Chancellor of the Exchequer in England last...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (20 Sep 2022)

Shane Cassells: Yesterday, the HSE's emergency department task force revealed some frightening statistics, when it reported that this year alone there have been some 40,000 breaches of over a 24-hour wait time to be seen in our emergency departments. The very same HSE that is failing so miserably in this regard, and the very same agency, at the same time, has been compiling a report to close an emergency...
