Other Questions: Farm Household Incomes (26 Apr 2018)

Eamon Scanlon: There is no doubt that this has been the worst year for farm incomes right across the country because of what has happened due to the bad weather.

Will the Minister consider extending the fodder scheme for another two weeks? In common with other...

Eamon Scanlon: I am glad to have the opportunity to speak on this issue and I thank Deputy O'Reilly for bringing forward the motion.

Community Employment Pension Scheme: Motion [Private Members] (24 Apr 2018)

Eamon Scanlon: It is extremely disappointing to think that the Minister of State's colleagues did not think it worth their while to come in and listen to the debate.

They will have made maybe an 18 hour or a 20 hour...

Community Employment Pension Scheme: Motion [Private Members] (24 Apr 2018)

Eamon Scanlon: This has been missed completely in the debate. There was a Labour Court recommendation in 2008. It is very easy for the Opposition - Sinn Féin - to ask why we did not pay at that time. There was not enough money to pay the people on the schemes never mind the pensions of any other people. This should be concluded and sorted out. As Deputy Calleary said, there are people who have...
