- Finance Bill 2010: Report Stage (Resumed) (10 Mar 2010)
Pat Rabbitte: I support this amendment. I do so with an element of care because some tax designation measures of recent times have been overdone and overcooked. This, however, is rather a special case for all of the reasons the House well understands. I am not sure I understand the Minister's reply. The last public utterance on this came from the Minister's colleague, Deputy O'Dea, before his...

Pat Rabbitte: I move amendment No. 14: In page 29, between lines 26 and 27, to insert the following: "(a) by inserting the following subsection in section 207: "(4A) A charityâ (a) shall submit a copy of its annual report and accounts to the Revenue Commissioners within six months of the end of its account year, which shall be for a period not exceeding twelve months, (b) shall publish their accounts and...
- Finance Bill 2010: Report Stage (Resumed) (10 Mar 2010)
Pat Rabbitte: I take it the Minister's last point is that bona fide charities need not be concerned about the requirement in that regard.
- Finance Bill 2010: Report Stage (Resumed) (10 Mar 2010)
Pat Rabbitte: The Minister's riposte is that the import of the amendment which I have proposed is comprehensively provided for in the charities legislation. I am not quite sure that that is true in all respects. Why is the legislation not being implemented? Is it that the Revenue Commissioners have such work to do they are not yet ready to put in place that which is envisaged by the legislation? I...

Pat Rabbitte: Thanks be to God.
- Finance Bill 2010: Report Stage (Resumed) (10 Mar 2010)
Pat Rabbitte: Seeking an exemption for one particular development is not the way to make law, and I have sympathy with the Minister on that. However, I know what Deputy Ring is talking about as I visited Westport House last summer. He is right about the focus it provides for the attraction of business in Westport and west Mayo in general. Given what he is confronting, how else is he to address the...

Pat Rabbitte: I move amendment No. 19: In page 62, between lines 10 and 11, to insert the following: 38.âThe Minister shall within one month from the passing of this Act prepare and lay before Dáil Ãireann a report on Sharia Compliant Finance and on the resolution mechanism to be undertaken in the event of disputes or misunderstandings of same.". I am moving this amendment on behalf of my colleague,...
- Finance Bill 2010: Report Stage (Resumed) (10 Mar 2010)
Pat Rabbitte: In the absence of her knowledge on Sharia finance, I must do the best I can with the amendment. I am thankful she was not present in the House when Deputy Ring was trying to gain advantage for rezoning around Westport. As I understand the point at issue, there may be a conflict between two systems of law where disputes arise. There does not seem to be a great deal of jurisprudence to guide...

- Criminal Justice (Forensic Evidence and DNA Database System) Bill 2010: Second Stage (4 Mar 2010)
Pat Rabbitte: Balancing the competing imperatives of preventing or solving crime and ensuring the protection of human rights is a perennial challenge for legislators, especially in the criminal justice area. At times of high emotion generated by a particular atrocity or controversy, it is difficult to find a sympathetic audience for articulation of the necessity to balance these competing imperatives. It...
