- Community Supports for Older People. (17 Nov 2009)
Michael Ring: Last year on 6 April, the Minister, Deputy Ãamon à CuÃv, announced funding for this scheme. The following day was budget day and the scheme was closed down. The Minister announced the re-opening of the scheme on 6 October. Eleven working days later my office rang the Department to discover if applications were being accepted and was told the scheme had closed. I believe it is open...

- National Drugs Strategy. (17 Nov 2009)
Michael Ring: The Minister of State's response referred to meetings, resources and everything that is being attempted in Ireland to prevent drugs use and in particular to prevent young people from taking drugs from the perspective of going into schools to educate them. Recently however, Judge Tony Hunt called for security at private airports to be increased. It is outrageous that the Judiciary is worried...

Michael Ring: He is on the relevant committee that meets in this regard.
- National Drugs Strategy. (17 Nov 2009)
Michael Ring: While everything the Minister of State says is fine, the problem is that a member of the Judiciary has made a public statement to the effect that he is unhappy with the lack of regulation of private airports. Moreover, neither I nor the country in general is happy. The Minister of State should respond in this House at a later stage to the effect that sniffer dogs, the Garda, the customs...

- Job Creation. (17 Nov 2009)

Ãdarás had the money in its budget but was not allowed to spend it. The same embargo was, however, was lifted for the Industrial Development Authority,...

- Job Creation. (17 Nov 2009)
Michael Ring: The Minister can talk all day and night but there is an embargo on jobs in the Ãdarás. I am disappointed the Minister has not spoken to the Minister for Finance about this matter. How many jobs have been lost because of this embargo? This is discrimination against the Ãdarás and the Gaeltacht areas because the same embargo that applied to IDA Ireland and Enterprise Ireland was lifted....
- Job Creation. (17 Nov 2009)
Michael Ring: The Minister has stopped the Ãdarás from spending money. The Ãdarás claims the money is there; the Minister, otherwise. The Ãdarás claims it can create jobs but the Minister will not allow it to spend money. That is wrong.
- Job Creation. (17 Nov 2009)
Michael Ring: The Minister's problem is that he knows the question but he does not know how to answer it. I am after putting it as simply as I can. I cannot put it any simpler. I want jobs in the Gaeltacht and the Ãdarás.
- Job Creation. (17 Nov 2009)
Michael Ring: All I am asking the Minister to do is to lift the embargo.
