Appropriation Bill 2014: Committee and Remaining Stages (18 Dec 2014)

Seán Fleming: I am opposing section 1. In the past 60 minutes the Minister of State has got the gist of what I want to say. As he rightly said, there is no new Government policy decision being announced today, there is no change of approach by the Government and there is nothing new in the legislation. All it does is give statutory effect to every expenditure choice the Government has made during the...

Appropriation Bill 2014: Committee and Remaining Stages (18 Dec 2014)

Seán Fleming: That is the response I expected, because the Minister is not capable of producing a breakdown. That is why he will not produce a report. It would not hold up the legislation, because I specifically asked for the report to the published following the passage of the Bill in due course. He would have time to do that, and it would not interfere with this legislation. The Minister of State is...

I am proud of that, because the Government should be answerable to the Chamber. I expect the Minister of State would agree with that.

Appropriation Bill 2014: Second Stage (18 Dec 2014)

Seán Fleming: Shortly after that on "Morning Ireland" I heard a spokesperson for the Simon Community who said there had been a 41% increase in homelessness in the past two years. This is a direct result of this Government's actions. In 2014 the Government cut maternity benefit.

Appropriation Bill 2014: Second Stage (18 Dec 2014)

Seán Fleming: In 2014 the Government also took the medical card from thousands of people over 70 years of age. It increased the prescription charges to €25 per month. It cut funding to the elderly under the fair deal scheme, and to the acute hospitals, resulting in many hospitals, the latest being Beaumont, having to close the doors of their accident and emergency departments to the general...

Appropriation Bill 2014: Second Stage (18 Dec 2014)

The Bill deals with expenditure of €42.657 billion in 2014. This seems like a big figure and in fact it is a big figure. The...
