Departmental Funding. (23 Oct 2008)

Olivia Mitchell: I tried this morning to have the Dáil adjourned to have this matter discussed. While it was not agreed to do so, I appreciate the opportunity to raise it on the Adjournment. The budget measure cutting school services grants has the most serious implications not only for the children it will affect directly but for virtually all Protestant faith schools, some of which may have to close,...

Drugs Payment Scheme. (21 Oct 2008)

Olivia Mitchell: The issue I raise is not of the same magnitude as the matters we have been discussing in recent days.

Financial Resolution No. 15: (General) Resumed (15 Oct 2008)

Olivia Mitchell: I welcome the opportunity to speak on this budget. I speak for most people in the country, certainly for this side of the House, when I say there was readiness to take some bad news and hardship if we felt it was to some purpose. What has been most disappointing is that such will not be the case. We, and most commentators expect us to be back here with cuts at least as bad this time next...
