Finance (No. 2) Bill 2011: Second Stage (resumed) (25 May 2011)

As other Deputies have stated, the Government put forward a modest jobs initiative only two weeks ago.

This...

Jobs Initiative 2011: Statements (Resumed) (12 May 2011)

Joan Collins: Before the general election, Fine Gael and the Labour Party called for a jobs stimulus plan to kick-start the economy. After the election they spoke about a jobs budget which has now been downgraded to a modest jobs initiative. I agree that it should be called modest. These proposals are very modest.

EU-IMF Programme: Statements (Resumed) (5 May 2011)

Joan Collins: I would first like to refer to the extremely silly remarks made by the Minister, Deputy Burton, about the technical group voting for the bank guarantee.
