Finance Bill 2013: Report Stage (Resumed) (13 Mar 2013)

Dara Calleary: The Minister said that to the committee. That is welcome. We have a chance to open up an industry here. Shannon is so much further developed than the other regional airports that they need to be given the status to get there too. None of us wants to go back to the days of section 23 but surely it is within the knowledge of the Department of Finance to come up with a scheme that will...

Finance Bill 2013: Report Stage (Resumed) (13 Mar 2013)

Dara Calleary: The Minister could have raised it privately with the Senator and I would have expected him to do so. He has legitimate concerns and I will discuss them with the Minister again. If the Minster addresses the legitimate concerns about favouring one airport over another I would more than happily deal with Senator MacSharry. Deputy Mulherin shares the same concerns. The Minister could have...

Job Creation and Economic Growth: Motion [Private Members] (12 Mar 2013)

Dara Calleary: If we do not take action, we will cost small suppliers around the country jobs and we will lose businesses. Ultimately, English-based suppliers and stationery companies will benefit. Jobs will be lost and money will leave local economies. If the jobs action plans are to mean anything, we will have to move away from the silo way of doing government. I always make this point. I do not...

Dara Calleary: I welcome the opportunity to contribute to the debate on the Minister for Justice and Equality's version of the Criminal Justice (Spent Convictions) Bill 2012.

Dara Calleary: I apologise. However, I am most concerned about those in the 18 to 22 age bracket who have endured the public embarrassment that goes with being convicted for minor offences. However, many of their lifestyle choices are affected by the fact that they have such convictions on their records. As Deputy Olivia Mitchell correctly stated, unfortunately we are for whatever reason in a situation...
