Peadar Tóibín: I think it is an extraordinary pay increase given the fact the economy is under what is potentially unprecedented pressure at the moment and that other members of the health service are operating under extraordinary pressures. They have difficult jobs and are not being remunerated properly for them. What does waiving a salary mean, exactly? What economic conditions would trigger the...

Peadar Tóibín: Perhaps it is not a permanent waiver, as such. Does this set a precedent for other wages at Secretary General level within the Government?

Peadar Tóibín: I want to turn my attention to the Cregan commission. The Taoiseach mentioned this in his opening address. The first module of the commission has been examining the write-down of €119 million in debt by the State-controlled Irish Banking Resolution Corporation with the sale of Siteserv. The Taoiseach will remember this was a major crisis when it came to light previously. We...

Peadar Tóibín: I hope the Taoiseach is right but I am afraid I am not convinced at this moment. The Taoiseach mentioned the shared island element in his address. The Minister of Health in the North of Ireland, Mr. Robert Swann, stated just in the past week that he was finding it difficult to achieve co-operation with the southern Administration and that there was not a natural flow of information to his...

Covid-19 Vaccination Programme: Statements (22 Apr 2021)

Peadar Tóibín: Last week the Minister flew a kite about 30 year old people being vaccinated. I was shocked because I had just been on the phone to a family of a 92 year old who still had not had her first vaccination. I submitted a parliamentary question asking if all 85 year olds who wanted vaccines were fully vaccinated but did not get confirmation of same. When will those who are over 85 who seek...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Shared Island Unit (21 Apr 2021)

Peadar Tóibín: On Easter Monday a gun and 200 rounds of ammunition were found in a house a little outside Moy on the Armagh-Tyrone border. The gun is thought to have been used by the Glenanne gang in the murder of nationalists in the area. It was found a mile from the house of an Aontú Mid Ulster Councillor, Denise Mullen, whose father was murdered by the Glenanne gang in front of her when she was...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (21 Apr 2021)

Peadar Tóibín: Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael are looking to build 409 pylons throughout Meath, Cavan and Monaghan, and then on into Armagh and Tyrone. They will be up to 51 m high and carry 400,000 volts, in some cases only 13 m from people's homes. In the communities along the curtilage of this interconnector there is widespread fear and opposition with concerns over health and the costs to homes,...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (21 Apr 2021)

Peadar Tóibín: Today is 21 April and the Dáil has sat for two full days in the month of April. That is outrageous. The Dáil is sitting two days a week now which means that for the whole of 2021, we have only two days a week to represent our constituents. In the middle of an economic, health and societal crisis, we have a part-time Dáil. That is no longer good enough. It is time that the...
