Finance (No. 2) Bill 2013: Report Stage (Resumed) (4 Dec 2013)

Denis Naughten: Not since the former Taoiseach Bertie Ahern spoke about smoke and daggers have we seen a sleight of hand such as that used by the Minister on budget night in respect of this health insurance issue. I cannot understand how anyone can figure out that 43% is a majority, and it really worries me to think that we have a Minister for Finance who believes that 43% is a majority. When I did maths...

Finance (No. 2) Bill 2013: Report Stage (Resumed) (4 Dec 2013)

Denis Naughten: I rise to speak to amendment No. 16.

Other Questions: Post Office Network (4 Dec 2013)

Denis Naughten: Post office network income is based on each transaction it processes on behalf of a client or customer. As the Minister is aware, the Minister for Social Protection intends to transfer social welfare payments to electronic format in 2014. If An Post fails to get that contract, it will have a devastating impact on its network.

Other Questions: Post Office Network (4 Dec 2013)

Denis Naughten: I thank the Minister for his response. As he is aware, all agencies right across the Government are pushing for online services, the best example of which is the medical card system, which has been centralised in Finglas. The difficulty is that while the Government attempts to centralise everything and put everything online, the penny then drops. The Minister should clarify whether he is...

Other Questions: Post Office Network (4 Dec 2013)

Denis Naughten: I accept that there are difficulties in respect of tendering, but where there is a will there is a way. With regard to SUSI, instead of centralising the scanning of documents in a building in Cork - where those involved decided to scan one side of the page only and forgot to scan the other side, leading to chaos last year - would it not have made far more sense to have asked people to scan...
