Government's Priorities for the Year Ahead: Statements (Resumed) (5 Mar 2014)

Clare Daly: I am disappointed the Government has decided to turn over the Dáil this week to host a backslappers convention for itself. It is quite embarrassing. I would have thought Fine Gael had enough of that at the weekend but clearly the Labour Party felt a bit left out. Many people in Irish society would like to slap members of the Government but I am not sure it would be on the back. If I...

Other Questions: Employment Support Services (5 Mar 2014)

Clare Daly: This question specifically concerns Gateway rather than the other initiatives which we can deal with at another time.

What personal benefit could there be for somebody to be decked out in a high-visibility jacket in order...

Other Questions: Employment Support Services (5 Mar 2014)

Clare Daly: The Minister is again refusing to deal with the question. People need a job if they are to get back to work.

Some of these people may be in a later life after 25 or 30 years working, so at 50 they may find...

Other Questions: Employment Support Services (5 Mar 2014)

Clare Daly: 6. To ask the Minister for Social Protection if she will cease the Gateway programme, on the grounds that it will force unemployed persons to work 19.5 hours in return for an extra €20 per week, which will not even cover the cost of getting to work, and will mean increased economic hardship and an erosion of jobs. [10438/14]

Other Questions: Employment Support Services (5 Mar 2014)

Clare Daly: This question relates to the Gateway programme. People are now expected to work for nothing. They are being frog-marched to collect litter or cut the grass for local authorities. If they refuse to do so, their dole payments will be cut and if they take on the work, they will end up poorer because it will not even pay them to go to work. I ask the Minister to abandon the scheme as it is...
