Peadar Tóibín: I understand the Government and the State own the buildings at 14, 15, 16 and 17 Moore Street. Yet, a company called CCJV is operating on the site. I got a chance to examine the management flowchart for that site. It sets out exactly where responsibility lies and who people report to. It is clear that the Government is in one place and CCJV is in another, with the other organisations...

Financial Resolutions 2017 - Financial Resolution No. 2: General (Resumed) (13 Oct 2016)

Peadar Tóibín: Budget 2017 was a series of minor changes to what is a grossly unfair and broken system. There have been some marginal improvements here and there, but mostly what we saw was Fine Gael pandering to its pet audiences in the privileged classes.
