Finance Bill 2020: Second Stage (4 Nov 2020)

Peadar Tóibín: I am sharing time with Deputy Fitzpatrick. At first glance, the Finance Bill looks like legislation for the ultimate Ross O'Carroll Kelly budget. When one looks more closely, it is clear that a phenomenal number of sectors have been left out of its provisions. In the case of older people, for example, who are most vulnerable and exposed in this particular crisis, there is not even a tenner...

General Practitioner Contract: Statements (3 Nov 2020)

Peadar Tóibín: The reason I say the act of distributing this confidential document was secret is that the Tánaiste never told the then Minister who was charged with negotiating and developing the contract about it. He never told anybody about it. That is startling. Nobody was told about this particular action. Did the Tánaiste include a cover letter with the document that was posted?
