Education (Amendment) Bill 2010: Second Stage (Resumed) (10 Nov 2010)

Frank Fahey: I welcome this Bill. It is long overdue. I welcome the fact that the VECs are becoming involved in primary education.

Frank Fahey: Yesterday for the first time Deputy Gilmore outlined the key economic and fiscal policies the Labour Party would introduce if it got into government. The cornerstone of its policy is raising taxes and providing a stimulus package through the establishment of a strategic investment bank. Both policies are fundamentally flawed. At a time when the international markets are scrutinising our...
