- Decentralisation Programme. (12 Mar 2008)
Liz McManus: That is a disgraceful reply. I can tell the Minister what is my understanding of the cost of what is essentially another example of Government waste. Is he not aware that â¬500,000 is being spent on rent? That is money that has been taken from the budget he allocates and for which he is responsible. This is yet another example of a Minister saying he is not responsible and passing the...

Liz McManus: The Minister is learning fast from Fianna Fáil.
- Decentralisation Programme. (12 Mar 2008)

- Decentralisation Programme. (12 Mar 2008)

- Decentralisation Programme. (12 Mar 2008)
Liz McManus: With respect, I remind the Minister of his duties. He allocates the budgets which are being reduced specifically to pay rent while property lies idle and the fanciful decentralisation programme is still being adhered to in theory but not in practice. What he has just said is interesting. I asked him the amount being spent and he told me the matter was the responsibility of the Central...

- Energy Resources. (12 Mar 2008)
Liz McManus: Has the Minister any sympathy for the poor unfortunate motorist who is suffering a double whammy? The Government is responsible for a range of delays in public transport projects and has not provided the necessary public transport infrastructure. Many motorists do not have the choice to take public transport. On the other hand, the cost of petrol is rising at a staggering rate, and more...
- Energy Resources. (12 Mar 2008)
Liz McManus: Why does the Minister simply talk to the oil companies? I support the Minister's long-term plans but I find it hard to accept that in the mean time diesel has outstripped petrol in costs. An average family car fill-up of petrol will costs â¬66, while diesel will cost â¬67.

- Telecommunications Services. (12 Mar 2008)
Liz McManus: I am sure the Minister appreciates that he is dazzling us with his knowledge, but Deputy Crawford's question was when all parts of Monaghan would get broadband. Coverage in Northern Ireland is 100% and Monaghan is a Border county. I would have believed it a simple matter to tell the Deputy when it is he might expect to be able to inform his constituents of the answer to the above question....

- Telecommunications Services. (12 Mar 2008)
