Seanad: Order of Business (6 Dec 2011)

Mark Daly: Yes. I am asking the Leader to organise a debate on the lack of a reference to democracy during the debate on the euro. Democracy should be central. Europe is always telling us about the importance of decision-making. Decisions are now being made by bureaucrats. This week marks the 90th anniversary of a treaty that was agreed without consultation with the people. It led to dire consequences.

Seanad: Common Consolidated Corporate Tax Base (8 Nov 2011)

Mark Daly: Do not hold that against us, a Chathaoirligh. Mayo will definitely rise again. I welcome the Minister to the House and I thank him for addressing this important issue, which was raised by our alleged friends in Europe in their continued attempt to harmonise our corporation tax rate with their level, thereby taking away our competitive advantage. We are well aware that the French and the...

Seanad: Common Consolidated Corporate Tax Base (8 Nov 2011)

Mark Daly: Obviously, I was aware of the recommendation made to the European Union by the Standing Order 103 Select Committee of the Dáil. That we lost the vote there does not bode well for the future of the consolidated corporation tax base we currently enjoy. Frau Merkel and Monsieur Sarkozy are writing common letters because they want this issue to be resolved before 2012. They want to help their...

Mark Daly: I acknowledge the Minister is aware of the issue. However, I am concerned that only five additional staff members have been allocated which, in essence, constitutes an increase of 25%. This is not a huge increase in the allocation.

Seanad: Redundancy Payments (27 Oct 2011)

The allocation of an additional five staff members to deal with the 50,000 claims in 2011 will not decrease the rate by a significant amount. There are staff members within the system who could be reallocated and I ask that more be done.
