Ceisteanna (Atógáil) - Questions (Resumed): European Council Meetings (19 Dec 2018)

Joan Burton: At the Taoiseach's meeting, was the future EU budget discussed, particularly with the departure of the United Kingdom now seeming inevitable, unless Article 50 can be utilised in some way or another? Could the Taoiseach give us his view on that? I refer to the multi-annual framework that the Taoiseach referred to. Owing to the immense amount of intellectual property being counted in...

Ceisteanna (Atógáil) - Questions (Resumed): Cabinet Committee Meetings (19 Dec 2018)

Joan Burton: The issue the Government faces is that confidence in the Garda is at a very low ebb following all that has happened, particularly in respect of former Sergeant McCabe. People are glad to see the end of that but their confidence is badly shaken. It has been clear that what people want to see is a force, the organisational structure of which ordinary people can understand and the members of...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Northern Ireland (18 Dec 2018)

Joan Burton: I commend the Taoiseach on his contacts with the Orange Order and on his proposal to continue them, all of which are positive. The more dialogue we have on this island, the more we can bring people from different backgrounds, North and South, together in a democratic framework. I welcome that. During the commemorations in the years ahead, we will remember and recall some very difficult...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Communications (18 Dec 2018)

Joan Burton: It is recognised, and the Taoiseach acknowledged it himself on television, that he is very keen on social media. Some have interpreted this as his being obsessed with spin and social media rather than real content. The sum of €500,000 is quite a lot to spend on videos. We know of some of the videos. The cost of the Project Ireland 2040 video is indicated as being €146,000....

That was certainly the position in the case to which reference was made. Has...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (18 Dec 2018)

Joan Burton: I thank the Leas-Cheann Comhairle. Can it be true that the Government is proposing to publish a report, either before or after the Dáil closes, that the €500,000 cap on bankers' pay is about to be amended and lifted by the Government? We know from the crash that lavish pay is no guarantee of success in running banks. We saw last week the Permanent TSB sell off 6,000 performing...
