Stability and the Budgetary Process: Motion (30 Nov 2010)

Pearse Doherty: Ní bheidh Sinn Féin ag tabhairt tacaíocht don rún atá os comhair an Tí anocht. In áit sin, cuirfimid ár leasú féin - go scorfar an Dáil agus go gcuirfear an buiséad ar athló - chun tosaigh. Is mian liom an leasú a mholadh anois.

Seanad: Order of Business (4 Nov 2010)

Pearse Doherty: I want to make a point on the decision made by the Government last night to appeal to the Supreme Court the judgment secured in the High Court on behalf of the people of Donegal South-West.

Seanad: Palliative Care Services (3 Nov 2010)

Pearse Doherty: Go raibh maith agat, a Chathaoirligh. Yesterday morning, the people of County Donegal were shocked by what they learned on Highland Radio, the local radio station. The shock did not come from the news that former Deputy James McDaid had resigned from the Dáil but from an announcement by Dr. Donal Martin, the consultant in palliative medicine at Donegal Hospice, in which he informed the...

Seanad: Palliative Care Services (3 Nov 2010)

Pearse Doherty: I welcome Minister of State's statement that no decision has been made to suppress posts. I understand Dr. Donal Martin's statement on Highland Radio yesterday was made on the basis that the HSE had decided not to fill the vacancy. The clock is ticking. The post has not been advertised and a replacement needs to be put in place if we are to work within the guidelines of the National...

Pearse Doherty: I will use the opportunity to add to what has been said in support of the motion. It is welcome that the focus is being placed on the issue of diabetes tonight and it is appropriate and opportune that we are having this debate. I do not have diabetes, but my nephew who is my godson was diagnosed with it a number of days ago. Therefore, I am aware of the difficulty it causes for him as a...

Pearse Doherty: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire. Ní aontaím leis an cainteoir deireannach mar ní inniu ná inné atá an fhadhb seo againn, ach le tamall maith anuas. Caithfimid bheith dáiríre fá dtaobh seo agus cad atá déanta ag an Rialtas. Tá coiste curtha ar bun le scrúdú a dhéanamh ar caidé a dhéanfar leis na tithe seo sa todhchaí agus tá suirbhé déanta a dheireann nach bhfuil rudaí...

Seanad: National Housing Development Survey Report: Statements (27 Oct 2010)

Pearse Doherty: When NAMA was introduced, the Government claimed it would make a profit. Why? NAMA and the Government believe property prices will return to their peak in ten years. The Minister of State is telling those who own 30,000 unsold properties that he will rent them while putting taxpayers' money into their pockets. Then after bailing them out, ten years later they can have their properties...
