Local Government (Mayor and Regional Authority of Dublin) Bill 2010: Second Stage (Resumed) (2 Dec 2010)

James Reilly: This is a nonsensical Bill. It is a vanity project as well as being a waste of time and money. Fingal County Council has put the price of this post at between €8 million and €10 million recurring. These costs will be foisted on the ratepayers of Fingal and other Dublin council areas at a time when businesses are hanging on by their fingernails. The recession was created by the very...

EU-IMF Programme for Ireland and National Recovery Plan 2011-14: Statements (Resumed) (1 Dec 2010)

James Reilly: I wish to share my time with Deputy O'Dowd. There are many things wrong with this agreement. I see across the Chamber my colleague with whom I had a discussion this morning.

EU-IMF Programme for Ireland and National Recovery Plan 2011-14: Statements (Resumed) (1 Dec 2010)

James Reilly: There is no bank resolution in this deal. There is no bottom line. There is more money for Ireland to borrow to throw at the banks. Where is the bank resolution? Where is the final place of rest for this problem? The people have been asked to shoulder more and more debt without any sight of an end, other than platitudes from a Government and the Minister. For the past two years, he has...

EU-IMF Programme for Ireland and National Recovery Plan 2011-14: Statements (Resumed) (1 Dec 2010)

James Reilly: What else is wrong in this regard? I note that it appears to be perfectly all right for Angela Merkel to indicate that bondholders should be negotiated with. Furthermore, it appears quite clear that under the draft Basel agreement for banks currently under discussion, in future bondholders will be negotiated with. Consequently, I do not see a reason for Ireland to take on this full burden...

Order of Business (1 Dec 2010)

James Reilly: I have two matters to raise. Given the weather situation and the economic uncertainty faced by people, I ask the Taoiseach about the status of the insurance indemnity Bill and when it is expected to be brought to the House. This Bill would at least offer protection from fly-by-night operators, uninsured doctors. The second matter I wish to raise is the issue of the interest rate on the...

Order of Business (1 Dec 2010)

James Reilly: I hope I may be allowed to finish my question. If the Ceann Comhairle will allow me explain it will be simple enough. Given the known difficulties associated with the accounting and annual reports supplied by Greece, is there any inference that the same difficulties apply to the Irish situation? Why are we being treated the same way?

Order of Business (30 Nov 2010)

James Reilly: I want to ask about the VHI and its recent edict to private hospitals, as reported to me, to the effect that there is now a cap on funds available and certain procedures must stop or they will not be paid for. I remind the House that the VHI's contract is with its clients. It cannot advise me as a client not to have a heart attack over Christmas, or any other ailment that might befall me or...

Order of Business (30 Nov 2010)

James Reilly: I am sorry, a Cheann Comhairle, but this is an outrageous situation. The VHI is now adopting HSE-style tactics to health and to the health issues of the country.

Order of Business (30 Nov 2010)

James Reilly: If it cannot afford to pay the hospitals, it should renegotiate the fee structure. It cannot simply say there is a cap and no more procedures for hips, tonsillectomies or stents are to be done. I am referring to item No. 70, the risk equalisation transitional Bill, and asking when it will be introduced, if the Government is going to address this issue or whether the VHI is completely out of...

Order of Business (30 Nov 2010)

James Reilly: He lets the country go to rack and ruin, but he should try to look after the healthy.
