Eamonn Maloney: May I continue?

Promissory Notes: Motion (Resumed) (25 Jan 2012)

Eamonn Maloney: Thank you. The motion is couched in a particular language because of the fear of putting down or of being identified with a motion to default. Anybody wishing to talk about the language of default in Ireland should speak to the labour congress in Iceland or some of the shop stewards in Iceland about the tone of default and I am sure this would result in a very different attitude. I suggest...

Local Government (Household Charge) Bill 2011 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed) (14 Dec 2011)

Eamonn Maloney: We would not be having this debate if our country was in a different position and if our economy had not been destroyed in the way it has been. The blame for that quite rightly rests with some developers, bankers, builders and politicians. We cannot blame outsiders for the economic crisis we are in. This debate would not be taking place today if it were not for that. It is not mentioned...

European Summit: Motion (8 Dec 2011)

Eamonn Maloney: On the amendment, I state my support for the Taoiseach who I am sure will do the best he can for all citizens of the State. It is not an easy task, but I am sure he will do his best. I concur with what others have said in supporting him in that respect. I am pro-European Union for a very good reason. Anyone with even a slight understanding of the history of this country in the past 50...

Commercial Rates: Motion (22 Nov 2011)

Eamonn Maloney: I will be brief. Like others I welcome the opportunity to debate the question of commercial rates and it is an opportune time to do so given the state of the economy. I read the draft motion from the Opposition and one wonders if we would not be having the debate if some of the items listed had been acted upon previously. As others have stated, commercial rates are an important part of the...

Private Members' Business: An Bille um an Naoú Leasú is Fiche ar an mBunreacht (Uimh. 2) 2011: An Dara Céim, Twenty-Ninth Amendment of the Constitution (No. 2) Bill 2011: Second Stage (18 Nov 2011)

Eamonn Maloney: A number of Deputies, particularly on the Fianna Fáil benches, have expressed their anger and dismay about the fact that the German Parliament had a look at documents concerning a VAT increase in Ireland. It is extraordinary hypocrisy for Fianna Fáil members to mention this, given that it was they who did their deal principally with the German taxpayer, who is paying the Deputies' wages...

Private Members' Business: An Bille um an Naoú Leasú is Fiche ar an mBunreacht (Uimh. 2) 2011: An Dara Céim, Twenty-Ninth Amendment of the Constitution (No. 2) Bill 2011: Second Stage (18 Nov 2011)

Eamonn Maloney: They are kicking up a fuss about the release of information that every dog in the street knows, about a possible increase in VAT. There are more important issues, to do with the number of young people leaving the country and the lack of employment, which we might spend more time talking about rather than being offended by German parliamentarians seeing a document. With regard to the Bill we...

Report by the Interdepartmental Working Group on Mortgage Arrears: Statements (Resumed) (25 Oct 2011)

Eamonn Maloney: I welcome this report and compliment Declan Keane and the other members of the working group on publishing it. Unlike some of the previous speakers this evening and during last week's debate on this subject, who seem to make a virtue of the fact that they are having sleepless nights about two bankers participating in the working group, out of a total of 17, I will lose no such sleep because...

Report by the Interdepartmental Working Group on Mortgage Arrears: Statements (Resumed) (25 Oct 2011)

Eamonn Maloney: There has been much critique of this framework document which states clearly that it does not pretend to have the answer to every problem. I compliment the Minister for Finance because after only 20 weeks this group was up and running, so to speak, and in a limited framework of nine weeks we are here discussing it. This problem did not arise last February or March. As my colleague, Deputy...
