- Decentralisation Programme (1 Jul 2010)
Michael Ring: The decentralisation programme outlined by the Minister and commented on by Deputy Wall is farcical. There is a development in Kiltimagh and I ask the Minister to look at that facility to see if it is suitable for decentralisation, even on a short-term basis, until the site in Charlestown has been bought and developed with the required planning permission. The Minister has said there is no...
- Irish Language (1 Jul 2010)
Michael Ring: I agree with Deputy O'Shea. I believe that a directive should go out to local authorities and State agencies in regard to uploading documents onto their websites owing to the cost involved. There is a major problem in respect of signage, in particular in Gaeltacht areas where signs are displayed in Irish only. In every county on the way to Gaeltacht areas, including in my own county, signs...

- Údarás na Gaeltachta (1 Jul 2010)
Michael Ring: I thank the Acting Chairman and the Minister for their kind remarks. Since 1997, the Government has spent more than â¬234 million on job creation in Gaeltacht areas.

We need new thinking and new policies for...
- Údarás na Gaeltachta (1 Jul 2010)
Michael Ring: I thank the Acting Chairman. I disagree with the Minister. We have spent very badly in the Gaeltacht with regard to the amount invested and jobs created. A number of years ago, a US company based in my constituency contacted Ãdarás to state it was withdrawing jobs. Taxpayers' money was given to that company and it was allowed to keep that money to run on until after a general election...

- Patient Safety: Motion (Resumed) (30 Jun 2010)
Michael Ring: I compliment my colleague, Deputy Reilly, for bringing this motion before the Dáil. It concerns one of the most awful situations to have happened in this country.
