- Banking System: Motion (25 Feb 2009)
Beverley Flynn: I am pleased to speak to the motion. It is very important to give confidence to international markets about our financial sector and long-term future. It is critically important that we do so at this time. There is little point in coming to the House and providing bank guarantees and for recapitalisation of the two main banks at a cost of â¬7 billion to the taxpayer if we continue to talk...

- Stabilisation of the Public Finances: Motion (Resumed) (4 Feb 2009)
Beverley Flynn: I thank the Deputy for pointing out the obvious. The decision to which I refer will have a major impact on public servants whose contribution is valued. I have the height of admiration for nurses and stood with them when they sought additional pay. However, the sad reality is that public servants can only be paid if sufficient money is garnered from tax receipts. The advantages they have...
- Stabilisation of the Public Finances: Motion (Resumed) (4 Feb 2009)
Beverley Flynn: I welcome the opportunity to contribute to the debate. The Minister for Finance has set out in stark terms the position in which we find ourselves. It costs â¬55 billion to run Ireland in a given year. Our tax receipts are down to â¬37 billion. We are borrowing, not just for capital projects, but also to meet day-to-day expenses and pay nurses, gardaà and teachers. We cannot continue...

Beverley Flynn: I thank the Minister of State for sharing his time.

We should recognise that we require a five year recovery programme. It will be very difficult to achieve an adjustment of â¬2 billion in 2009. I would like...

Beverley Flynn: I welcome the opportunity to speak in the debate. The record of the Fianna Fáil Party on services for the elderly during the 11 years I have been a Deputy is a proud one. I am particularly proud to have been a member of a party that increased pensions to their current substantial levels. In 2001 when the universal medical card was introduced for the over 70s I saw it as recognition for...

- Finance (No. 2) Bill 2008: Second Stage (Resumed) (26 Nov 2008)
Beverley Flynn: I wish to share time with Deputy Niall Blaney. I welcome the opportunity to speak on this Bill. It was only some months ago, before the summer, when I spoke on the economy. The position has changed drastically in that short period. I will discuss the economic downturn and the global credit crisis. I recognise that Deputy Mitchell referred to the problems in Ireland in this regard, but...
- Credit Institutions (Financial Support) Bill 2008: Committee Stage (Resumed) (1 Oct 2008)
Beverley Flynn: On Deputy Shatter's point on the action of the Government at a time of global turmoil in all financial markets, the one Government that has taken very decisive action that has had a favourable impact on the markets is our own. When one compares this action with the piecemeal action being taken in other countries throughout Europe, and particularly in the United States, one realises it is a...
