Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Activation Services and Supports for the Unemployed: Discussion (14 Oct 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I thank the witnesses for their presentations. They have captured some of the groups that have no access to some of the activation programmes. Disability groups and lone parents were mentioned but there are many other groups which are not fully reflected. For example, there are adult dependants. While the latter can apply for a payment in their own right, for various reasons they do not....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Activation Services and Supports for the Unemployed: Discussion (14 Oct 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Some carers might want to finish off their working lives in the same field that they have been in. They might like to undertake a CE course that was home-help-oriented, or a child care course in which they end up with a qualification at the end of the scheme. I have come across such scenarios.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Activation Services and Supports for the Unemployed: Discussion (14 Oct 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: An interesting comment that I read while doing a bit of research on this matter was made in the INOU's pre-budget submission, namely, the potential supply of labour statistics. I had not noticed something like this before, although it has probably been in other material that has appeared on my desk. The figure is nearly double that of the live register. The potential supply of labour...

Order of Business (14 Oct 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: My first issue is a promised debate. The Government set up the Convention on the Constitution and promised that it would complete its remit within 12 months. I understand it did it in about 14 months. The motion passed by the Dáil setting it up said that the Government will provide in the Oireachtas a response to each recommendation by the convention within four months. The last...

Order of Business (14 Oct 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: It is not a speech. I am asking whether that Bill, which is very urgent, address those issues.

Financial Resolution No. 2: Capital Allowances (13 Oct 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I find it strange. What the Taoiseach said has not fully allayed my fears. He talked about centres of excellence. I heard Deputy Naughten talk about Ireland West Airport. I have always wished our regional airports well. They should try to encourage as much business as possible. To avail of the tax incentive the Taoiseach is talking about here, the projects that would need to be built...

Financial Resolution No. 2: Capital Allowances (13 Oct 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I have problems with this proposal. In an era where we have been trying to get rid of tax reliefs and tax avoidance schemes, it seems strange we would encourage one of the most highly profitable sectors to avail of a tax incentive to locate in Ireland, in particular considering what has happened in the aviation services facilities sector in Ireland in recent years. In addition, we know of...

Financial Resolution No. 2: Capital Allowances (13 Oct 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: There are characters who will take a benefit from a tax relief that was originally set up to be beneficial to an industry. If it could be limited to the industry, we might then have some say. The problem is that many of these schemes are set up in good faith and are then abused by those who have made billions from our system of tax reliefs in the past. I have concerns about this.
