Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (Supplementary) (28 Nov 2017)

Charlie McConalogue: On the figure for the underspend for last year for the Department, I cannot recall exactly but I believe the leftover at the end of the year was to the tune of €70 million. Will the Minister indicate what that figure was at the year end and what was done with those funds? Were they left in the Department? Were they carried over? I am aware that the Minister is moving €48...

Priority Questions: Rural Development Programme (13 Jul 2016)

Charlie McConalogue: It is welcome that there is a commitment to and movement on introducing the €25 million scheme to assist the sheep sector. It is very necessary because incomes in the sheep sector have been under pressure in recent years and we have also seen a reduction in flock numbers, something which needs to be arrested.

The 610 additional SNA posts, which the €6 million increase will cover, is approximately 5% more than was projected in the original Estimate for 2015, which is a significant overshoot. What has led to the increase of 5% in demand? Is that indicative of increased application numbers or did...

Private Members' Business - Cuts in Education: Motion [Private Members] (24 Sep 2013)

Charlie McConalogue: ...Let us consider the primary education sector. Schools are struggling on a daily basis to make ends meet. I refer, in particular, to the minor works grant which was worth a minimum of approximately €5,000 to each school, regardless of size. This was a significant blow and has put schools in a difficult position, especially smaller schools because the payment made up a significant...

Health Insurance: Motion [Private Members] (5 Mar 2013)

Charlie McConalogue: ...seen up to now, there is little cause for confidence that the Government will reach that target. Since 2008, the number of people with health insurance has fallen from a record of just under 2.3 million to just under 2.1 million at the end of 2012. The worrying thing about these figures is the imbalance in who has left the health insurance market. If we look at the breakdown of age, we...
