Topical Issue Debate: Bus Éireann (4 Apr 2017)

Michael Moynihan: When a dispute arises such that people are on the picket lines, it is not right that a Minister would make a statement to the effect that a particular company can be done without, as the Minister for Social Protection, Deputy Varadkar, did in relation to Bus Éireann earlier this week. Bus Éireann is a company that primarily services rural Ireland. The rural population of this...

Topical Issue Debate: Bus Éireann (4 Apr 2017)

Michael Moynihan: I welcome the opportunity to contribute to the debate. This is a huge issue right across the country. The Bus Éireann people have been out for a number of days. It has been well over a week now at this stage. There is no member of the press in the press gallery to report on this very important issue which is affecting rural Ireland as well as every other part of it. There have been...

Order of Business (4 Apr 2017)

Michael Moynihan: It was only brought into the Deputy yesterday morning.

We objected to it when it was brought to our attention.

Questions on Promised Legislation (30 Mar 2017)

Michael Moynihan: The programme for Government contains commitments to rural communities and refers to the post office network in particular. However, there does not seem to have been any serious attempt by the Government, particularly in recent weeks, to address damning reports on the closure of post offices. Three years ago the then Government promised a whole-of-Government report on the post office...

Leaders' Questions (30 Mar 2017)

Michael Moynihan: Yesterday was the day the British Government finally, formally and officially triggered the signing of Brexit some nine months after the referendum in June. By any stretch of the imagination, it was a sad day for Europe and it is very worrying and will have major ramifications for the citizens of this island. It has been described in some of the newspapers this morning as not just a storm...

Leaders' Questions (30 Mar 2017)

Michael Moynihan: On behalf of my party, I would like to be associated with the expressions of sympathy to the family of Captain Mark Duffy and to all those involved in that horrendous accident. I do not think the agri-food industry will take much solace from what the Minister has said. There is a huge industry out there and it is very important to note the talk-up by the British Government in regard to...

Questions on Promised Legislation (29 Mar 2017)

Michael Moynihan: In light of the programme for Government and the various commitments by the Government to support communities and community-led projects, responsibility for this area falls directly within the Department of the Minister, Deputy Paschal Donohoe.

Money Advice and Budgeting Service and Citizens Information Centres: Motion (28 Mar 2017)

Michael Moynihan: I compliment Deputy Willie O'Dea on tabling the motion which offers us a timely opportunity to reflect on what MABS and the Citizens Information service do. MABS has provided a fantastic service during the years, but since the economic crash of 2008, with the other agencies available to help people through financial difficulties, it has served many people who in normal circumstances would...

Questions on Promised Legislation (22 Mar 2017)

Michael Moynihan: This decision is horrendous. I compliment Deputy Thomas Byrne for highlighting it. Allocations had been made to schools and, right up until last Wednesday or Thursday, the Department of Education and Skills was advising parents to wait until the mechanism for the appeals process was in place before lodging an appeal. Those parents were waiting because they were assured that a process would...

Commission of Investigation Announcement on Tuam Mother and Baby Home: Statements (Resumed) (22 Mar 2017)

Michael Moynihan: I welcome the opportunity to contribute to this debate. We are reflecting on a very difficult time in Irish society.
