Social Welfare Benefits. (10 Oct 2006)

Emmet Stagg: I thank the Minister for his reply and for his history lesson on free travel. I do not know why Ministers do not exclude that part of their answers. Obviously, members of the Opposition know just as much about free travel as the Department's officials. I do not know why it has to be read into the record every time. I am asking the Minister to take his courage in his hands. Instead of...

Emmet Stagg: I am afraid the Minister might be just playing with the issue rather than dealing with it. He tells us every time that he is pressing the buttons but there is nothing he can do about it. That, however, is no good to us. What we need is action from the Minister on this issue. He said he will raise another hare with the Commission and let the Commission chase it around for another six...

Order of Business (4 Oct 2006)

Emmet Stagg: On a number of previous occasions, I raised the matter of providing RTE television signals to the Irish in Britain. The Government agreed to do that but when it examined the matter, it discovered that the legislation establishing RTE was inadequate in respect of ordering RTE to provide the service. RTE could offer a service if it had the will but was not obliged to do so by legislation. I...
