Defence (Amendment) Bill 2015 [Seanad]: Second Stage (15 Jul 2015)

Liam Twomey: When I speak the Deputy is supposed to stop. He has in been the House long enough. I do not set the Standing Orders. I am given the brief as set out by the House and it allows five minutes for Members other than the main group speakers. The Deputy's five minutes is up.

Defence (Amendment) Bill 2015 [Seanad]: Second Stage (15 Jul 2015)

Liam Twomey: There is no point in arguing with me. The Deputy is here long enough. He has been in the House longer than I have been and he understands the Standing Orders better than I do. He should make one sentence. He understands how Standing Orders work. I ask him to conclude.

Credit Unions: Motion [Private Members] (23 Jun 2015)

Liam Twomey: I have met with many representatives of the credit union movement in County Wexford. Like many Deputies, I admire the commitment of volunteers and workers in the credit unions. The support that members give to the credit unions is fantastic. Deputies are under no illusion about where we were just before we came into government, when we almost had a total financial collapse of our...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Fiscal Assessment Report: Irish Fiscal Advisory Council (11 Jun 2015)

Liam Twomey: I thank Professor McHale. We will adhere to our usual ground rules. I propose that the lead speakers for each of the groups present will have ten minutes, followed by other committee members, who will have five minutes. Anyone else who wants to come back in for further questions may then do so. I suggest, as with normal procedures, we start with Deputy Tóibín.

Central Bank (Mortgage Interest Rates) Bill 2015: Second Stage [Private Members] (10 Jun 2015)

Liam Twomey: The Deputies are taking the simplistic approach. Why does that difference exist?

Central Bank (Mortgage Interest Rates) Bill 2015: Second Stage [Private Members] (10 Jun 2015)

Liam Twomey: There are three big issues, according to the Central Bank, but I bet the Sinn Féin Deputies have not even read the summary, never mind the actual report on why there is a difference. I heard some of the Deputies' speeches, although not all, but I heard nothing in any of them that made any reference to how we are going to deal with these other issues. It is just the usual rant. You are...

Central Bank (Mortgage Interest Rates) Bill 2015: Second Stage [Private Members] (10 Jun 2015)

Liam Twomey: That is what you are.

Central Bank (Mortgage Interest Rates) Bill 2015: Second Stage [Private Members] (10 Jun 2015)

Liam Twomey: They are just the same. I would not mind if it was just a Private Members' motion because motions can often be more simplistic, but when Sinn Féin went to the trouble of actually writing legislation-----

Central Bank (Mortgage Interest Rates) Bill 2015: Second Stage [Private Members] (10 Jun 2015)

Liam Twomey: The trouble is I am not speaking for the bankers; I am speaking for all of the people who borrow money in this country. That is who I am speaking for. You say you can isolate your actions-----

Central Bank (Mortgage Interest Rates) Bill 2015: Second Stage [Private Members] (10 Jun 2015)

Liam Twomey: I thought the Members opposite had a better understanding than that, but clearly not. They have a poor understanding of how legislation impacts across the economy. Even the Bill they want to put through would have significant impacts on other individuals with mortgages in Irish society. Their so-called solution could actually generate a bigger problem. This comes as a surprise to me. I...
