Criminal Law (Home Defence) Bill 2009: Second Stage (17 Sep 2009)

Jimmy Deenihan: I had an opportunity to address this matter when another Bill dealing with it was discussed in this House some years ago. At that time, most Deputies called on the Government to take action in this area. It is obvious that no action has been taken since then. It is reasonable to expect the House to address the matter on this occasion. The law as it stands is confusing. Those who are...

National Asset Management Agency Bill 2009: Second Stage (Resumed) (17 Sep 2009)

Jimmy Deenihan: Most people purchase several books before going on holiday. This year I bought an interesting book entitled Banksters, by David Murphy and Martina Devlin. I will be happy to pass it on to the Tánaiste. The book sets out to describe how a "powerful elite squandered Ireland's wealth" and is essential reading for any Minister.

National Asset Management Agency Bill 2009: Second Stage (Resumed) (17 Sep 2009)

Jimmy Deenihan: The book sets out the time line from March 2007 when house prices began to decline nationally through to 29 September 2008 when bank shares fell sharply and on to the introduction of the NAMA initiative on 7 April 2009. It references a statement by Groucho Marx which sums up rather well what the Government is doing with this legislation: "Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding...

Local Government (Charges) Bill 2009 [Seanad]: Second Stage (9 Jul 2009)

Jimmy Deenihan: I welcome the principle of the Bill as Deputy Hogan has done. It has major implications for a county such as Kerry which has a very substantial dependency on tourism. According to the 2006 census there is a possibility of earning up to €4 million in the county through the charge on tourist accommodation. In the overview presented by the Oireachtas Library and Research Service, it was...

Local Government (Charges) Bill 2009 [Seanad]: Second Stage (9 Jul 2009)

Jimmy Deenihan: I refer to those registered with Fáilte Ireland. The Minister of State and his official may wish to clarify the matter. The impression of the individual with whom I spoke, a very credible operator who does a very good job, is that he will be liable for the tax. This should be clarified.

Local Government (Charges) Bill 2009 [Seanad]: Second Stage (9 Jul 2009)

Jimmy Deenihan: No, but he pays water rates. He is not paying commercial rates but he is registered with Fáilte Ireland. If the charge is introduced people will drop their registration with Fáilte Ireland, simply pay the €200 charge and this will lower the standard with which they must comply. I wish to focus on that issue and I hope the Minister of State will consider the matter seriously. It will...

Local Government (Charges) Bill 2009 [Seanad]: Committee and Remaining Stages (9 Jul 2009)

Jimmy Deenihan: I, too, have already said what I am going to say now. The revenue loss of €2 million that Deputy Mitchell mentioned represents approximately 10,000 people involved in providing self-catering units. In a year when we all know tourism is doing so poorly, this would be a gesture to the industry to indicate we are concerned about it and sensitive to its current problems. As Deputy Mitchell...
