European Financial Stability Facility and Euro Area Loan Facility (Amendment) Bill 2011: Second Stage (Resumed) (21 Sep 2011)

Anthony Lawlor: I congratulate Deputy Dooley on his selective amnesia. He talked about the previous Government but I am not sure whether he meant the Fianna Fáil Government in coalition with the Green Party, the Fianna Fáil Government in coalition with the Progressive Democrats or the Fianna Fáil Government in coalition with the Progressive Democrats and the Independents. The only common denominator...

Closure of Army Barracks: Motion (Resumed) (5 Oct 2011)

On that day, many of the barracks occupied by the...

It has been dealt budgetary cuts in recent years and the number of personnel in the Army has been reduced from 11,500 to 9,500. The Minister has made a commitment that the figure of 9,500 personnel will be maintained. The hierarchy in the Army recognises that it is spread too thinly over the country. I asked an Army officer if...

Milk Quota (6 Oct 2011)

Anthony Lawlor: I thank the Minister for his response. There is a significant possibility that we will be over the quota this year and going towards 2015, and farmers are gearing themselves up to the removal of quotas in 2015.

Anthony Lawlor: Unlike the previous speaker, I have a criticism of the amendment tabled by Sinn Féin and I would also like to make a few points to the Minister.
