Financial Resolutions 2023 - Budget Statement 2024 (10 Oct 2023)

Peadar Tóibín: This is a cynical budget. It is a short-term budget that seeks to rebuild the fortunes of Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and the Green party, rather than rebuilding the State and its public services. It is a south Dublin budget that hurts many people living in regional and rural Ireland. I will address that last issue first. This Government speaks with measured tones, with deep sympathy,...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (4 Oct 2023)

Peadar Tóibín: First, this is a Government that is plainly weak on crime and weak on the causes of crime, to borrow the British Labour Party's mantra. The Government and the Minister for Justice have been distracted by the culture wars and have forgotten about the bread-and-butter issues that are currently affecting so many people in this country. In my county of Meath, there is a stretch from Enfield to...

Childcare Fees: Motion [Private Members] (3 Oct 2023)

Peadar Tóibín: The debate on childcare so far has been incredibly bizarre in many ways. We are talking about a sector that in large areas is on the precipice of collapse. There has been a massive increase in the number of early years education, ECCE and childcare providers that have been suffering so much economically that they find it nearly impossible to survive. It is incredible because we have raised...
