Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Strategies (25 Apr 2023)

Peadar Tóibín: It is estimated that the attack on the cybersystem in this country will cost €100 million. We do not know what the human cost is. We know that hundreds of thousands of people did not get the treatment they needed following the cyberattack because of the collapse of the systems, so there could very well be people who have died and have suffered serious morbidity as a result. Ireland...

Other Questions: Youth Unemployment Numbers (2 Oct 2012)

Peadar Tóibín: The youth unemployment figures are unbelievable. A total of 5 million young people are unemployed in Europe currently while, in this State, 30% of young people are unemployed with 50% long-term unemployed. The Minister mentioned the preparatory action. The Commission has allocated €4 million for this, which equates to 80 cent per unemployed youth in the State. That is laughable if...

Peadar Tóibín: ...with the Garda. There needs to be a situation where people are held to account for the actions that they have taken. What happened in Siteserv was extraordinary. There was a write-down of €119 million, much of which came from the pockets of taxpayers and citizens. Siteserv gave €5 million to shareholders at the time of the write-down, which was extraordinary. Arthur Cox...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Public Procurement Contracts: Discussion (21 Oct 2014)

Peadar Tóibín: ...small businesses. I am glad to see moves are afoot to change that. One of the great debates in this committee is how much money leaks from the State in State procurement. If we have roughly €8.5 billion, we have heard estimates of 28%, 27% and 20%. Some people save 15% on an island basis, others say 5%. It is a key piece of information because it determines policy by the State....

Ministerial Rota for Parliamentary Questions: Motion: National Risk Assessment (25 Jan 2022)

Peadar Tóibín: ...that were cancelled known? Have the delays in the delivery of health services been quantified? Before the attack, the National Cyber Security Centre, NCSC, was funded to the tune of €5 million.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (18 May 2021)

Peadar Tóibín: ...The person who was head of the HSE in recent times is saying that the Government is spending a quarter of what it should be spending on cybersecurity. The NCSC has been given a budget of just €5 million. Let us think about that. Last year, the Department of the Taoiseach spent €16.5 million on PR alone. The NCSC has a staff of 25, with no dedicated premises or director...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Offices (30 May 2023)

Peadar Tóibín: The reduction in excise duty on fuel is due to lapse in two days' time. This will put an extra 5 cent on diesel and an extra 6 cent on petrol, which is a significant jump. It will hit families extremely hard. Hiking excise duty when so many families are in poverty and so many families are in arrears on energy bills is the opposite of what must be done at the moment. Figures released to me...

Peadar Tóibín: On the points the Taoiseach made on the moneys allocated for tribunals, a sum of €4.2 million is allocated in the Revised Estimates by the Taoiseach's office. There are serious concerns with regard to the expenditure of taxpayers' money with negligible oversight and controls. Only last week, I got a response from the Taoiseach's office in which it admitted there are no controls over...

It is a functioning firm and as has been noted, it has contracts...

Irish Bank Resolution Corporation Commission of Investigation Report: Statements (14 Sep 2022)

Peadar Tóibín: ...happened at Siteserv? That is the major question that is not being answered in any of our debates. It is incredible that the Siteserv sale by the IBRC included a significant write-down of €119 million to Millington, a firm controlled by Denis O'Brien. That money was to come out of the taxpayers' pocket. This happened at the same time that Siteserv was giving €5 million to...

Well over 1 million attend religious services weekly. I got a phone call from a 93-year-old woman today who said that her physical and mental health are significantly deteriorating due to her lack of access...

One Department spent three times the amount of money on PR than the country spent on its...

Finance Bill 2020: Second Stage (4 Nov 2020)

Peadar Tóibín: ...was committed to by the Government. I pay credit to Aontú representative, Paul Lawless, who has been leading the fight on this issue. A shocking figure has come to light today, namely, that half a million people are now unemployed in this State. That does not take into consideration the people who are on wage subsidy schemes, who number in the tens of thousands. These people...

Peadar Tóibín: ...State own 73% of the State's wealth, while the poorest 20% in the State had 0.2% of the wealth of the State. By any judgment, this divide is severe and shocking. He also stated that the combined wealth of the top 5% was almost double that of the entirety of middle earners - that is, the squeezed middle. According to Revenue data, the top 1% of income earners in Ireland had an average...
