- Order of Business (18 Oct 2016)
Brendan Howlin: In the published legislative programme, the Government indicates that it will introduce a cybercrime Bill, but that is very much long fingered. According to the legislative programme, it is at the early stages of drafting. Will the Taoiseach give additional priority to this legislation that would not only transpose the EU directive but also expand it to deal with the issue of cyberbullying,...

Brendan Howlin: I happen to be a member of the Sub-Committee on Dáil Reform. It might not be a D'Hondt system, although Fianna Fáil has three members on it, but I cannot recall any issue being decided by a majority vote. It always worked on the basis of consensus. There are issues in this Dáil with providing a proper time basis for the Opposition to have formal debates in the House, for the...
- Leaders' Questions (18 Oct 2016)
Brendan Howlin: The Taoiseach will be aware that all public sector unions, not just those that are formally in dispute, are watching very closely what is happening here. Does the Taoiseach agree that what is now required is a whole of public service approach? Striking bilateral deals with any single union is not the way forward and there needs to be a clear pathway to full income recovery and the full...
- Leaders' Questions (18 Oct 2016)
Brendan Howlin: The decision of the Association of Garda Sergeants and Inspectors, AGSI, to withdraw from working on four days during November means we are now facing a full Garda strike in all but name. The deployment of reservists who do not have the power of arrest will hardly reassure vulnerable people or communities about how public safety will be preserved during these days. The decision of the...

- Financial Resolutions 2017 - Financial Resolution No. 2: General (Resumed) (12 Oct 2016)
Brendan Howlin: He must rank as the one of the least effective Ministers the House has ever seen. From arch-critic of Government spending to internal Government commentator and critic of the Taoiseach, he has certainly moved seamlessly from one role to another. Yesterday proved, however, that he has a long way to go to complete the transition to becoming a competent Minister. He did not propose a single...

- Financial Resolutions 2017 - Financial Resolution No. 2: General (Resumed) (12 Oct 2016)
Brendan Howlin: In the worst of times, we managed quietly to defend and increase the budget for overseas development aid. The tragedy is that the Government has made such a choice while every household must continue to watch terrible events unfold in Syria. When Ruadhán Mac Cormaic reports that the city of Aleppo is dying while the world watches, every Irish citizen feels a reaction. When we see the...
