Order of Business (6 Mar 2012)

Micheál Martin: Will the Fleadh Cheoil improve access to credit?

Departmental Staff (6 Mar 2012)

Micheál Martin: The Taoiseach's response on this issue is disingenuous, given the commission of inquiry legislation which is on the Statute Book which was used effectively in the Cloyne and Dublin inquiries. I would never have thought an Oireachtas inquiry would be suitable in this case. There is ample scope under the existing commission of inquiry legislation to investigate issues such as this...

Departmental Staff (6 Mar 2012)

Micheál Martin: The baseline figure for 2010 would be far more relevant. Be that as it may, it is fair to say the Taoiseach's Department is expanding, which flies in the face of all that was promised in advance of the general election, as I am sure the Taoiseach will acknowledge. Nowhere is this more evident than on the European side.

Official Engagements (6 Mar 2012)

Micheál Martin: I welcome the comments the Taoiseach repeatedly made in the United States to the effect that the 2011 budget has been central to restoring international confidence in Ireland. I accept that it would be too much to expect the Taoiseach to acknowledge the fact that he voted and then ran an election campaign against that budget. Does the Taoiseach agree the deep connections which have been...

Official Engagements (6 Mar 2012)

Micheál Martin: On skills availability and the 800 placements in the institutes of technology - a matter to which reference has been made for the past five or six months - there are a number of ready-made solutions. It is time for a more hands-on approach from the institutes of technology and the Department of Social Protection to match people with skills. There are people with qualifications who cannot...

Order of Business (6 Mar 2012)

Micheál Martin: I wish to raise a number of items. Maidir le Bille na Gaeltachta, tá sé ar intinn ag an Rialtas deireadh a chur le toghcháin Údarás na Gaeltachta ach cathain a mbeidh an Bille sin ag teacht ar an bhfód? Bunaíodh comhchoiste Chomh-aireachta na Gaeilge anuraidh ach níor tháinig sé le chéile ach faoi dhó. Is oth liom é sin a rá mar léiríonn sé easpa thiomántais don Ghaeilge...
