Government and Oireachtas Reform: Motion (31 May 2011)

Clare Daly: This is an extremely timely discussion. Since the inauguration of the new Dáil we have had a huge amount of talk on this issue but very little substance. We have had optics, starting with the early reconvening of the Dail, shorter holidays and all the rest but let us be clear that these are an utter nonsense. This will have no impact whatsoever on improving participation or evolving...

Government and Oireachtas Reform: Motion (31 May 2011)

Finance (No. 2) Bill 2011: Second Stage (resumed) (25 May 2011)

Clare Daly: When we strip the jobs initiative of the padding, waffle and unquantified and lofty aspirations, this is what it finally boils down to - a Finance Bill putting forward four measures which will not deliver a single job and which in fact will continue the policies of Robin Hood in reverse which have been a hallmark of this Government and its predecessor, namely, taking money out of the pockets...
