Food Harvest 2020 Report: Statements (21 Oct 2010)

Seymour Crawford: Farm income fell nationally by 40% between 2008 and 2009. In wetland areas the fall in income was much more, but thank God weather and prices have been much better this year. I thank the Taoiseach for agreeing to have a debate on agriculture but, to be blunt, it was not the debate I had asked for. The two main issues I raised were the delay in area aid payments to such a large number of...

Food Harvest 2020 Report: Statements (21 Oct 2010)

Seymour Crawford: I do so without apologising, a Cheann Comhairle, because it is a subject about which I am extremely passionate. I am not doing this just for the sake of media coverage; I am doing it because I have worked with these farmers and know the efforts they have put in. I hope the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, Deputy Smith, will sort out the issues I have raised.

Order of Business (21 Oct 2010)

Seymour Crawford: A few days ago one of my constituents told me she lost her medical card due to her income situation. She is now getting her medication in Northern Ireland at one third of the price in the Republic. When will the reference pricing for drugs be introduced?

Loan Guarantee Scheme: Motion (Resumed). (20 Oct 2010)

Seymour Crawford: This motion calls on the Government to introduce a loan guarantee scheme for small and medium-sized businesses based on a realistic operational system. When I hear my colleagues on the Government side questioning how it can be done and how much it would cost, it is clear they did not read the motion thoroughly. Deputy Perry spelled out clearly how it was not an open door but a scheme that...

Education (Amendment) Bill 2010: Second Stage (Resumed) (14 Oct 2010)

One such school is the model school in Monaghan.

Announcement by Minister for Finance on Banking of 30 September 2010: Statements (Resumed). (14 Oct 2010)

It was a dark day for the people. While many of us knew and understood what was coming, many ordinary people believed some newspaper reports that the economy had turned the corner and there was some hope. Black Thursday,...
