Developments in the Eurozone: Statements (Resumed) (2 Nov 2011)

Arthur Spring: The eurozone is in a crisis that is without parallel since the end of the Second World War. Jean-Claude Trichet put the matter aptly when he described the crisis as the most significant on the Continent in more than 70 years. Developments thus far indicate that people are not working together. In this respect I concur with some of Deputy Crowe's remarks on the European Union. At their...

National Tourism Development Authority (Amendment) Bill 2011: Second Stage (Resumed) (29 Sep 2011)

Arthur Spring: I commend Deputy O'Sullivan, who as a non-government Member, spoke so favourably on this issue. It is not often one hears that on this side of the House. I thank the Deputy for her contribution. This is essentially a housekeeping exercise which gives us an opportunity also to acknowledge what tourism means. Tourism, energy, agribusiness and micro-enterprise, TEAM, are the four pillars for...

European Financial Stability Facility and Euro Area Loan Facility (Amendment) Bill 2011: Second Stage (Resumed) (21 Sep 2011)

Arthur Spring: As a person who advocated against Ireland joining the euro at the time on many fronts such as our autonomy over interest rates and our ability to print money, it is surreal to be here today.

Unfortunately, when one joins a political atmosphere...

This is a good day in respect of events in Europe. My speech was written two weeks ago but now is as relevant as one written two years ago. While the issues have been tackled on a national basis, more must be done on a European basis. As for the...

Special Educational Needs: Motion (Resumed) (13 Jul 2011)

Arthur Spring: It has been fascinating to listen to all sides of the House over recent days. On many occasions the press have said we have too many teachers in the House.

There has been a great deal of...
