Brendan Howlin: The Minister for Finance, Deputy Donohoe, seems to have it in for small family-run businesses. Last year, we warned him that betting duty on turnover would put such small firms out of business, as 2% of turnover was greater than their profits in some cases. That is what happened. In this year's budget, the Minister had to introduce a new relief in recognition of the difficulties...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (23 Oct 2019)

Brendan Howlin: I am sure the Taoiseach will acknowledge that many people were surprised by the lack of awareness, of both the Department and the IDA in respect of the announcement of the job losses. In Novartis's case, we understand it has been an ongoing consideration for a year. Has the Taoiseach ruled out the notion of a task force or will he reclassify an existing body as a task force to deal with...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (23 Oct 2019)

Brendan Howlin: I was also truly shocked and saddened at the emerging news of 39 deaths in a container that may have passed through this country and that is certainly an issue to which we must revert as soon as we have more information. In less than 48 hours, 820 good jobs have been lost in the south west between the 320 jobs at Novartis pharmaceutical company and 500 jobs at Molex electronic components...

Brendan Howlin: Would they not be briefed if there was no debate?

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (22 Oct 2019)

Brendan Howlin: I too support that request. There are a number of issues I would have liked to raise with the Taoiseach regarding the ongoing, spiralling cost of the national children's hospital. Bluntly, the reaction of the Taoiseach today, almost to say that it was none of his business, is not an acceptable view. We need to have great clarity about the biggest construction project in the State sector...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (22 Oct 2019)

Brendan Howlin: If the Minister of State reflected on what the Taoiseach has just said, he would be shocked. He basically said that he does not want GPs' surgeries to be overwhelmed so he will put a brake on them, namely, cost. The Government will continue to charge and that will be the brake. If people can afford to go, off they will go. The Government will monitor and reduce the numbers by keeping a...

Brendan Howlin: I also welcome the Ceann Comhairle's statement on the voting controversy in the House last Thursday. I, too, regard it as a most serious matter that deserves to be addressed urgently and resolved. The Government recently announced plans to extend free GP care to children aged seven and eight years. As the Taoiseach will know, the previous Government provided GP care for all children up...
