Leaders' Questions (19 Feb 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Internships are not jobs yet the Minister tried to put it across as such. Employers have a pool of free labour that has been created by the Government, the Labour Party in particular. That is what the interns are doing. In the past, it was paid employment and includes those within Departments and local authorities. Previously, this was carried out by civil servants and local authority...

Leaders' Questions (19 Feb 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I will not do it. It is a substantial document. In the Indecon report, the majority of people who found work afterwards were on a lower wage than their co-workers in employment.

Leaders' Questions (19 Feb 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: My party colleagues and I are committed to a fair recovery. We want to get people back to work and bring our young people home but we also want to ensure that work pays. The Cabinet has signed off on a jobs strategy, a central plank of which is the JobBridge scheme. Today I published a proposal to scrap JobBridge. I will outline some elements of my proposal and would ask the Minister to...

Leaders' Questions (19 Feb 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: It is. It is also lowering pay and creating under-employment in this State. I will prove that with data from the Indecon report which the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection continuously quotes to me when I raise concerns about JobBridge and other schemes. The Indecon report found that 30% of employers said that they would create a job if JobBridge did not exist; that is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Use of Irish Airspace and Landing Facilities: (Resumed) Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport (18 Feb 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I apologise for not being here earlier, but I was attending a Whips' meeting. Members of the committee might already have covered some of my questions. The Minister mentioned that exemptions were not given for 19 flights. Does he have any idea what the specific reasons were why those 19 were refused? What were the cargoes? The Minister also referred to non-military planes which were...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Use of Irish Airspace and Landing Facilities: (Resumed) Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport (18 Feb 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Yes, that is fine.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Use of Irish Airspace and Landing Facilities: (Resumed) Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport (18 Feb 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I will come back to the assurances in a second. The Minister got advice from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade on 19 flights, but what was that advice in each individual case? Is the Minister open to disclose it? Did it pertain to illegal weaponry and, if so, what was that weaponry? Or were there some other suspicions because obviously the advice was based on something?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Use of Irish Airspace and Landing Facilities: (Resumed) Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport (18 Feb 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I understand that and hopefully the Minister will also be able to share with us the advice from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. In some ways, there is a gentleman's agreement involving assurances from America, Russia or elsewhere. However, the fact that the Minister ended up having to refuse 19 flights means that they were chancing their arm somewhat. If a gentleman's...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Update on Employment Activation Measures: Department of Social Protection (18 Feb 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: We have had a number of thrash-outs of the various job activation schemes over the last couple of years. I have explained my opposition to some and my support for others. I have a few specific questions. One is about the staff allocation to JobPlus and JobPlus Youth and also to JobBridge. One change since the last time the witnesses were here has been the announcement of JobPlus Youth and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Update on Employment Activation Measures: Department of Social Protection (18 Feb 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: The delegates never got to answer my first question about the staff allocated to the JobBridge and JobPlus programmes. Although I am not knocking JobBridge, JobPlus is specifically a job creation mechanism; it is a State subsidy for job creation. If it is skewed within the Department such that more staff are allocated to dealing with subsidised work placements under JobBridge than to the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Update on Employment Activation Measures: Department of Social Protection (18 Feb 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: They are new questions to do with a brand new programme that was announced two weeks ago and did not appear in Pathways to Work which was launched last year. We did not have sight of it. Advance training is mentioned, but we have no idea what exactly it means, how long it will last, or whether it will be mandatory. Why was the decision taken to set this up scheme, rather than continue with...
