Credit Guarantee (Amendment) Bill 2015: Second Stage (5 Nov 2015)

Peadar Tóibín: One of the big failures of the Government has been its inability to create a functioning credit market. The dysfunctional credit market is a significant player in many of the problems we have in the State, for example, in the housing market where we have not been able to get credit into the hands of builders to meet the demand for housing. It has also played a significant role in the...

Finance Bill 2015: Second Stage (Resumed) (5 Nov 2015)

Peadar Tóibín: Before we adjourned this debate to take Leaders' Questions, I was speaking about outputs of the health service and the budget and how the health service, as a key public service, was being seriously negatively impacted by Government policy. Since 2008, approximately €3.3 billion worth of funding has been gouged out of the health service, a large chunk of it by this Government. 1...

Finance Bill 2015: Second Stage (Resumed) (5 Nov 2015)

Peadar Tóibín: At this point, it is important to inject some reality into the debate. Sinn Féin welcomes the growth that exists in the State. We have had a growth desert for the past number of years so any growth is welcome. However, it is very important that we analyse the contributing factors to this growth. If we do not analyse them, we are clearly liable to make mistakes with regard to policy....

Travellers' Rights: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (4 Nov 2015)

Peadar Tóibín: Déanaim comhbhrón le muintir Connors, Lynch agus Gilbert faoin tragóid uafásach a tharla cúpla seachtain ó shin i ndeisceart Bhaile Átha Cliath. Is oth liom a rá go bhfuil caidreamh uafásach agus briste sa tír seo idir an pobal socraithe agus an Lucht Siúil. Dá bharr sin, níl daoine ag iarraidh díriú ar an gcaidreamh...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Enterprise Support Schemes (4 Nov 2015)

Peadar Tóibín: The Web Summit is one of the most important business events in the State. Not only does it bring about 40,000 people to Dublin city, but it also offers start-ups an opportunity to network with tech leaders and venture capitalists who are looking to invest money. The Taoiseach has said the 2014 Web Summit was worth €104 million to Dublin city. It is, therefore, a flagship event. Its...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Enterprise Support Schemes (4 Nov 2015)

Peadar Tóibín: I am quite amazed that the Minister has not addressed the Web Summit issue. He mentioned it in three sentences in a very generalised fashion. The release of emails between the Government and Mr. Paddy Cosgrave gives a rare insight into how the Government operates. Mr. Cosgrave has repeatedly said all he wants to do is keep the Web Summit in Ireland. That was his objective. All that it...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Enterprise Support Schemes (4 Nov 2015)

Peadar Tóibín: By his answer the Minister has massively devalued this Chamber and citizens outside who are seeking answers. I asked him if he was aware of the breakdown in communications and the problems arising. The Minister has not even attempted to say he is aware of it. If we cannot understand and critique the problems, how are we supposed to fix them? On "Morning Ireland" yesterday, Paddy Cosgrave...
