- Seanad: Criminal Justice (Unlicensed Money-Lending) Bill 2013: Second Stage (22 May 2013)
Marie Moloney: I welcome the Minister of State to the House. I was not scheduled to speak tonight. When I saw that the Bill was scheduled to be debated I decided to add my voice here because it is such an important issue. I may not always agree with Senator MacSharry but I give him great credit for bringing the matter into the political arena. Moneylending exists, whether we like it or not. I spoke...
- Seanad: Criminal Justice (Unlicensed Money-Lending) Bill 2013: Second Stage (22 May 2013)
Marie Moloney: Senator Bacik mentioned codifying crimes. I encountered the same problem when I tabled a motion two weeks ago. There is no crime in Ireland of domestic violence or for illegal moneylending. I hope that the Minister will take on board the words and sentiments expressed here today. If he is not going to accept Senator MacSharry's Bill then I urge him to consider it and incorporate the...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Report on Child and Family Income Support: Discussion (22 May 2013)
Marie Moloney: What about the council’s input into the Mangan report? What are the council’s thoughts about the fact that child benefit is paid abroad to families with one parent working here? It is a question I have brought up with many, including MEPs, but have never got a straight answer on it. I believe that in such an arrangement the child benefit should be paid at the rate of the home...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Report on Child and Family Income Support: Discussion (22 May 2013)
Marie Moloney: So, the coalition suggested the two-tier system.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Report on Child and Family Income Support: Discussion (22 May 2013)
Marie Moloney: I would not say benefits because most other countries have a much lower child benefit rate than ours.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Report on Child and Family Income Support: Discussion (22 May 2013)
Marie Moloney: Yes, I know. I just wanted the council’s thoughts on it.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Report on Child and Family Income Support: Discussion (22 May 2013)
Marie Moloney: Why would they not draw down a pension from this country?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Report on Child and Family Income Support: Discussion (22 May 2013)
Marie Moloney: With all due respect, that is not going to stop them drawing a pension. There are many Irish people living in England drawing pensions.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Report on Child and Family Income Support: Discussion (22 May 2013)
Marie Moloney: Yes, but I would not say they will not be able to draw a pension as there is a bilateral agreement with most countries in this regard.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Report on Child and Family Income Support: Discussion (22 May 2013)
Marie Moloney: No, not at all. Up to 520 paid contributions is enough. Under the bilateral agreement with other countries, the contributions they pay in their home countries will give them a pro rata pension from Ireland.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Report on Child and Family Income Support: Discussion (22 May 2013)
Marie Moloney: In case I was taken up incorrectly, I did not say that high earners would resent people. I said that people on low and middle incomes with children over five years of age, who would not benefit from the free pre-school year, might have a resentment that they are paying for it but not benefiting. I certainly am not worried about the high earners and whether they would resent it. That is...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Report on Child and Family Income Support: Discussion (22 May 2013)
Marie Moloney: On the taxation issue, how would a low-income family benefit from a credit given that it probably would be outside the tax net?
