I understand that large Australian multinationals are...

We might begin by following the example of this State in its early years, when it undertook a number of adventurous projects, such as the electrification schemes under the ESB and the development of Aer Lingus and transatlantic flights. It showed imagination in creating companies that provided quality employment and services over many decades. This is something...

Prospects for Irish Economy: Statements (Resumed) (24 Oct 2012)

Clare Daly: ...pay unsecured bondholders and a banking debt that has nothing to do with ordinary people. Why can it not seek funds from the European Investment Bank and invest them in Electric Ireland - formerly the ESB - which has a tremendous track record as a powerful semi-State company? The company could then use this money to develop the tremendous potential in our wave and wind energy resources...

Sale of State Assets: Statements (13 Oct 2011)

Clare Daly: ...a stake in State assets is privatisation - would be absolute lunacy. We very much reject the Àla carte menu offered to us by the Minister of what type of privatisation we would like to see in the ESB, whether to sell off parts of it or a percentage of the whole. We reject any of these options. What the Minister is peddling is upside down economics. He should be investing in these...

ESB and Disposal of State Assets: Motion (Resumed) (21 Sep 2011)

Clare Daly: I fully support the Private Members' motion and I reject totally the efforts of the Government to engage in a salami-style privatisation of our semi-State companies starting with the ESB. I am not surprised this route is being taken. Under the guise of EU-IMF intervention attempts are being made to foist similar programmes on Greece at present. In reality this is the neoliberal agenda. It...

Order of Business (15 Sep 2011)

Clare Daly: ...Business to discuss the McCarthy report and put this issue in context? Nobody would be conned by the Tánaiste's assurances this morning that only a minority of the company is up for sale in the ESB. As one who worked in Aer Lingus, a small privatisation inevitably leads to a further sell-off down the road.
