- Other Questions: Garda Transport (19 Sep 2012)
Joe O'Reilly: The Minister of State has given a very detailed, comprehensive answer on this issue.

The Minister of State's position that operational detail is a matter for chief superintendents and superintendents is reasonable. Accepting that, and in...

- Personal Insolvency Bill: Second Stage (Resumed) (18 Jul 2012)
Joe O'Reilly: I thank Deputy Dara Murphy for facilitating me. I congratulate the Minister, Deputy Shatter, on his pioneering, comprehensive and realistic legislation. He has a major record as a legislator and this Bill adds to it. In congratulating him, I also congratulate the Government on this important legislation. Listening to Deputy Boyd Barrett brings one into a fantasy world and makes one think...
- Personal Insolvency Bill: Second Stage (Resumed) (18 Jul 2012)
Joe O'Reilly: It is about time he started to answer such questions. This legislation is vital to overall macroeconomic recovery in this country because it is necessary to get stability and normal spending going. Until people give a realistic proportion of their income back as repayment on overborrowing, there will not be spending, confidence and disposable income in the economy. It is a crucial part of...

- European Stability Mechanism Bill 2012: Second Stage (7 Jun 2012)

Those two...
- Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2012: Second Stage (Resumed) (23 May 2012)

In this contemporary age of ICT, the use and availability of ICT and broadband for every function of Government and administrative situation makes the rationalisation of services a desirable possibility. It is desirable to pool resources and share services over a range of activities, such...
- Private Members' Business. National Monuments: Motion (resumed) (23 May 2012)
Joe O'Reilly: It merits repeating that there is no question but that 1916 was a seminal event in our history. There is no question that the participants, in the main, were driven by the highest ideals and by heroism and both merit acknowledgement in a debate such as this. There is also no doubt that a number of them had a very romantic view of life but even at that they were driven by the highest ideals...
- Credit Guarantee Bill 2012: Second Stage (16 May 2012)
Joe O'Reilly: I congratulate the Minister on the initiative provided for in the legislation. In contrast to the previous speaker, I believe it is more than a trifling matter and will have a considerable impact. I will elaborate on that issue presently. The Bill forms part of a strategy and sequence of actions taken by the Government that have put jobs to the fore. The jobs budget early in the lifetime...
