Seanad: Employers' Job Incentive Scheme: Motion (30 Jun 2010)

Fiona O'Malley: I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Áine Brady. Unlike a previous speaker who criticised the fact that she was present, I am pleased that the two Ministers in the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Innovation might well be travelling around the world hustling for jobs. That would be a better use of their time. As has been pointed out, this is an issue on which we spoke relatively...

Seanad: Order of Business (23 Jun 2010)

Fiona O'Malley: I echo the sentiments of Senator Ó Murchú. In the context of the right to have and encourage full participation in debates on issues that are often seen as contentious, I seek a debate on education. At this time of the year people make choices about what schools their children will attend in September. In a cool environment we need to look at what kinds of schools we have, who are...

Seanad: Confidence in the Taoiseach: Motion (16 Jun 2010)

Fiona O'Malley: I am glad to express my confidence in the Taoiseach and the Government. The current problems facing them are the hardest any Government has had to face. The Taoiseach has shown great leadership, calm judgment and the ability to say, "No". These are the qualities we need now. In the long term he will be remembered for doing the right thing. Mistakes were made but the Taoiseach is...

Seanad: Euro Area Loan Facility Bill 2010: Second Stage (20 May 2010)

Fiona O'Malley: I like the habit that has developed, whereby Senator Donohoe, as always, speaks so much sense. It is very interesting to listen to him. Senators have said that, now that things are going wrong, we realise we did not prepare well enough for the introduction of the euro. It is only now that we realise no one thought about what would happen if a member state wanted to withdraw from it....

Seanad: Euro Area Loan Facility Bill 2010: Second Stage (20 May 2010)

Fiona O'Malley: The Senator was talking about the European dimension and referred to how we needed to look to the national purpose and consider how we were to turn the corner. I thought to myself that we had a little problem at home, in respect of which the Labour Party was not showing much leadership. I know it is a slight embarrassment to the Senator.

Seanad: Euro Area Loan Facility Bill 2010: Second Stage (20 May 2010)

Fiona O'Malley: The Labour Party has the opportunity to do what is necessary at home to show the leadership the Senator is seeking. As he said, people are crying out for it. This is how we make sacrifices regarding our ideals or in dealing with sectoral interests. I hope his party leader shows he is capable of leadership. I served on a county council with him and I have great admiration for him but he is...

Seanad: Euro Area Loan Facility Bill 2010: Second Stage (20 May 2010)

Fiona O'Malley: I am sure he will be because I represent many people. I would love to think he will show leadership when he has the opportunity. I listened with great interest to Senator White's contribution and it will mean something if he follows it up by supporting the Croke Park deal.
