Financial Resolution No. 23: Income Tax - Artists' Exemption (7 Dec 2010)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Ba mhaith liom déileáil leis an exemption ó thaobh ealaíontóirí. As with Deputy Rabbitte, I would like the Minister to explain where the €40,000 figure has appeared from. It seems to have come from nowhere. It does not account fully for the context in which artists earn their money. A sum of €40,000 may sound like a lot of money but if one is an artist working on a commission...

Order of Business (30 Nov 2010)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: It is not agreed. Given the level of leaks of classified and restricted documents of late from the US, in particular on wikileaks.org, and the question of data protection, which this motion must properly address, rather than pass this motion I suggest we delay its passage until the full extent of the undermining of restricted and sensitive documentation in the US has ended. In this way,...

Request to move Adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 (30 Nov 2010)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Ba mhaith liom an Dáil a chur ar athló chun an cheist rí-thábhachtach seo a phlé, namely, in view of the fact that nearly one quarter of all Irish women have been abused by a current or former partner, the need for this House to take seriously the unacceptable prevalence of domestic violence against women in our society. This is especially the case at a time of economic hardship when...

Social Welfare (Miscellaneous Provisions) (No. 2) Bill 2010: Second Stage (Resumed) (24 Nov 2010)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Is trua go bhfuil an t-am chomh gearr mar bhí sé i gceist agam píosa maith cainte a dhéanamh ar an Bhille seo. Tá loighic leis an méid atá sa Bhille seo agus níl mé chun cur ina choinne.

Corporation Tax Rate: Motion (23 Nov 2010)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Tuigim sin. Ba mhaith liom mo bhuíochas a gabháíl le Pháirtí an Lucht Oibre as an am a roinnt liom. On this question James Connolly once used the phrase "ruling by fooling". He would certainly have had plenty to justify that thought in the midst of the comic opera farce which is the hallmark of the dying days of this Government. He would also perhaps be tempted to coin a new phrase -...

Corporation Tax Rate: Motion (23 Nov 2010)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I am sorry but I am putting it in context. The motion concerns corporation tax and why it is or is not appropriate to discuss this matter today. I am setting that context, pointing out it is hypocritical to continue in that line when the party has indicated it will do the same or worse when it is in power. In regard to taxation or any other aspect of domestic economic policy my party will...
