- Seanad: Order of Business (24 Jun 2010)
Fidelma Healy Eames: Indeed. She is certainly welcome. The prospect of a property tax has certainly put fear into people's hearts. The feedback I get is that there will not be enough places in jail for the number of people willing to go there if a property tax is introduced now. It is very important that we start the pre-budget debate on how to find the â¬3 billion. The Minster for Social Protection should...

Fidelma Healy Eames: In doing so, it has called to mind the role of the Defence Forces. We are very aware of the valid role they play abroad, but it is time we had a debate on the role of the Army. I have learned recently that the Defence Forces have about 1,200 civil servants working for it, which is a great number. We need to look at everything in this country right now; therefore, a debate with the Minister...
