School Enrolments (19 Apr 2012)

Seán Crowe: My question relates to how far ahead we plan for these matters. I hope we will not be discussing these matters in this Chamber in 2025.

School Enrolments (19 Apr 2012)

Seán Crowe: Nor do I. It is important that we plan ahead. Will we, for example, have the land set aside and the buildings in place? If those structures are in place, the most important question will be whether sufficient teachers will be available. The teachers' unions have suggested approximately 280 teachers per annum will be required, while they also have expressed concern about the number of...

School Enrolments (19 Apr 2012)

Seán Crowe: Another element of such long-term planning is that joined-up government will be required in the procurement of schools. I refer to the old structure of setting aside land for a school that was subsequently never built; this happened nationwide. If the construction industry ever takes off again, it must be linked to such planning developments and joined-up government on the part of the...

Teachers' Remuneration (19 Apr 2012)

Seán Crowe: Is the precise number known? Figures available to me indicate that almost half of the 9,000 postgraduate students in the State have their fees paid or receive a minimum maintenance grant. I have received information that cuts to postgraduate courses will prevent some of the country's brightest and most capable young people from accessing higher education. This does not simply pertain to...

Teachers' Remuneration (19 Apr 2012)

Seán Crowe: When will the impact of what is proposed be felt? Will it be next September or sometime thereafter? There have already been reports from certain colleges with regard to courses being dropped, etc. Perhaps we could return to this matter early next year and the Minister could make a statement in the House in respect of the effect of what is proposed. If that effect is negative in nature,...

Mahon Tribunal Report: Statements (Resumed) (29 Mar 2012)

Seán Crowe: I listened to many of the contributions on the outcome of the Mahon report from Deputies in the Chamber, which ranged from annoyance to disgust to outrage. There was broad acceptance of the outcome. I remember the original advertisements in newspapers referring to a solicitor in Newry. People talked about it at the time and it captured people's imagination. They wondered what was going on...

Job Losses (29 Mar 2012)

Seán Crowe: It is nothing short of scandalous that 173 employees of GAME stores across Ireland are not only losing their jobs but are denied their basic right of a redundancy package. It seems only a couple weeks ago we were here debating the similar plight of La Senza, Vita Cortex and TalkTalk workers. At the time, we asked the Minister responding what legislative proposals the Government had to...

Seán Crowe: When I spoke with workers in Tallaght this morning, they were fairly up-beat about the negotiations scheduled for later in the day. However, these negotiations have since broken down. My colleague is correct that there is no comfort in the Minister of State's reply.
