- Business of Dáil: Motion (6 Feb 2013)
Micheál Martin: -----with asking us to pass something that we have not even read for even ten minutes. We must oppose the order. I am seeking an adjournment of the House for a further period to allow for a very preliminary reading of the Bill to allow us to make some assessment of it. At this particular stage, we have not seen the Bill. It is extraordinary that we would be asked to consider a Bill we had...

- Pre-European Council Meeting: Statements (6 Feb 2013)
Micheál Martin: I am almost concluded. I get no sense from the Taoiseach's speech or from Ireland's Presidency that any effort has been made to articulate a broader revision about a budget that still only accounts for approximately 1% of the overall European budget despite this being a time of crisis. The budget will have direct repercussions on the size of the Common Agricultural Policy, CAP, and the...
- Pre-European Council Meeting: Statements (6 Feb 2013)
Micheál Martin: We will shortly mark two years since the Government took office. This anniversary will see another outpouring of the self-congratulation which has become the hallmark of this Administration. The clear and growing disillusionment of members of the public with the Government is directly linked to its non-stop claims of action and leadership which do not have the slightest connection to...
- Pre-European Council Meeting: Statements (6 Feb 2013)
Micheál Martin: The Taoiseach may recall that I looked for the paper for months but it never appeared. We now learn it did not exist, although the Taoiseach got a good year out of it in the House. As was written yesterday, Government Ministers have cried wolf on Europe too many times and no one any longer believes their public statements. As the Taoiseach is aware, he and his colleagues produced a budget...
- Order of Business (6 Feb 2013)
Micheál Martin: I refer to promised legislation in the context of the traceability of horses. As the Taoiseach is aware, a major scandal is unfolding with deeply profound consequences for the food industry and the beef industry in particular because of the contamination of beef products with horsemeat and with all the consequences this entails. The Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine has...

- Leaders' Questions (6 Feb 2013)
Micheál Martin: I am not in any shape or form pursuing this in an adversarial way or in an idle way or in a speculative way but, in essence, the report, substantive and comprehensive as it is, does not take away any stigma in its entirety. The only effective way for any stigma to be removed for the women involved is by the State formally apologising to the women concerned, which essentially involves saying...
- Leaders' Questions (6 Feb 2013)
Micheál Martin: Everybody in this House would, in the first instance, have to commend and pay tribute to Senator Martin McAleese and his team for the comprehensive and substantive report which has revealed hitherto unknown facts about State involvement in the Magdalen laundries. It was the right decision to set up such a committee. It was a good decision. It is a comprehensive and substantive report....
