Lá na Gaeilge: Statements (7 Mar 2012)

Micheál Martin: Gan amhras. larraim ar an Taoiseach agus na hAirí eagsúla iarracht nua a dhéanamh dul chun cinn a dhéanamh maidir leis an tionscadal seo. Mar is eol dúinn, bhí plean ann ionad a bhunú i mBaile Bhúirne i nGaeltacht Mhúscraí agus is fíú féachaint ar seo athuair. Tá go leor dul chun cinn déanta maidir le labhairt na Gaeilge le blianta beaga anuas. Ní hé seo an t-am stad a...

Ceisteanna ó na Ceannairí (7 Mar 2012)

Micheál Martin: I gclár an Rialtais a foilsíodh bliain ó shin, thug an Rialtas gealltanais éagsúla agus ceann acu siúd ná go dtabharfadh sé tacaíocht láidir chun creidmheas a chur ar fáil do chomhlachtaí beaga agus meánmhéide. Anois, bliain ina dhiaidh sin, is oth liom a rá go bhfuil an gealltanas áirithe seo briste ag an Rialtas. Téann sin leis an liosta fada de ghealltanais eile atá...

Ceisteanna ó na Ceannairí (7 Mar 2012)

Micheál Martin: Tá an freagra a thug an Taoiseach inniu dochreidte. Deireann sé nach bhfuil dóthain comhlachtaí ag dul chuig an CRO. An fáth nach bhfuil siad ag dul chuig an CRO agus an fáth nach bhfuil siad ag gearáin leis na bainc ná go bhfuil eagla orthu. Tá eagla orthu mar tá na bainc ag cur brú orthu. Deireann na bainc leo gan dul go dtí Teachtaí Dála, gan dul go dtí an CRO agus gan...

Ceisteanna ó na Ceannairí (7 Mar 2012)

Micheál Martin: Tá pleananna soiléire ag na mílte comhlachtaí ar fud na tíre seo. An bun rud ná nach bhfuil aon rud ag tarlú. Cé go ndeireann an Taoiseach go bhfuil €3 billiún curtha isteach, níl an t-airgead sin ag dul go dtí na comhlachtaí beaga agus meánmhéid ar fud na tíre agus tá a fhios sin ag gach Teachta Dála sa Teach.

Ceisteanna ó na Ceannairí (7 Mar 2012)

Micheál Martin: Léiríonn freagra an Taoisigh go bhfuil an Rialtas i bhfad ró-neamhghníomhach mar Rialtas, fiú leisciúil ar an ábhar seo.

Ceisteanna ó na Ceannairí (7 Mar 2012)

Micheál Martin: Mar atá ráite ag an Gobharnóir Honohan, tá seans gurb é an easpa creidmheasa bainc an rud is mó a bheidh mar chúis le moill a chur ar an athshlánú eacnamaíochta. Sin a deireann sé. Cuirim an cheist ar an Taoiseach arís. Nach bhfuil sé in am anois reachtaíocht a thabhairt isteach agus ordú a thabhairt do na bainc a bheith níos solúbtha agus airgead a thabhairt do na...

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.

Departmental Staff (6 Mar 2012)

Micheál Martin: A commitment was given to reduce staff numbers.

Departmental Staff (6 Mar 2012)

Micheál Martin: Do not worry about my election document, that is all it was.

Departmental Staff (6 Mar 2012)

Micheál Martin: Do not worry about commitments or promises. They can ignore them.

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...
