Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (19 Dec 2012)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...The budgets for this year and last year were the consequence of some of its diktats. Also, the European Central Bank is charging us high interest rates. According to EUROSTAT figures, there are 120 million people in Europe at risk of poverty. If during the seven years of the programme the calculation was made pro rata, Ireland would only receive €2 million per annum, which is...

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...say. They highlighted some of the changes that are coming but some of the questions and issues raised by Mr. O'Connor were not fully addressed. Can Mr. O'Connor tell me the cost of a FETAC level 5 child care course and how long such a course takes to complete? Can it be done within a year or does it require more time than that? The information I have is that it is not always possible...

Private Members' Business. Community Employment Schemes: Motion (7 Feb 2012)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...have the time or capacity to do this and will simply close up shop. How much money is the Government cutting from the CE budget in total? The Minister has been keen to emphasise a figure of €27.5 million, but this is a mere fraction of the actual cuts being imposed on CE schemes and their participants.

National Drugs Strategy (16 Nov 2011)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...worst heroin problem, the second worst ecstasy problem and the third worst cocaine problem in the whole of Europe. We also have the second highest rate of drug induced deaths. At 70 deaths per million the figure is more than three times the EU average. That amounts to almost one death per day. Moreover, it is most likely an underestimation. These statistics clearly demonstrate the need...

Report of the Interdepartmental Working Group on Mortgage Arrears: Statements (Resumed) (26 Oct 2011)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...solutions the Keane report suggested are minimalist. They are not radical and they will not deal with the problem. They will only gloss over it. The Department of Social Protection spent €66 million in 2010 on mortgage interest supplement for 18,000 households. That is €5 million more than in 2009 and €40 million more than in 2008. The figure for this year will be higher and...

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...mhaith leo bheith ina saoránaigh. This Bill is the third incarnation of the Immigration, Residence and Protection Bill and each time it has been published, the Minister has removed approximately 5% of the objectionable provisions, but kept the rest of the Bill more or less intact. I am not the only person who finds some of the Bill's provisions objectionable. Quite a number of...

Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2010: Second Stage (Resumed) (10 Jun 2010)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...ospidéal le haghaidh obráid, nó aon ghnáthamh eile bainteach leis an ailse, gur áit speisialta a bhí ann. Tá na céadta míle othair imithe tríd St. Luke's ón lá gur oscail sé, breis is 56 bliain ó shin. Tháinig a lán dóibh amach ar an taobh eile ina lán-bheatha, ach níor éirigh le go leor dóibh teacht tríd an chóir leighis a cuireadh orthu san ospidéal. Tá na...

Financial Resolution No. 11: General (Resumed). (8 Apr 2009)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...1 cent more in support of those who are losing their jobs. All it is doing - this is stated in plain English - is moving money around. The Government states that the amount provided is €128 million. However, no extra money is being provided. Some €22 million is to be cut from the Department of Social and Family Affairs allocation with further cuts in the allocation for the...

Financial Resolution No. 15: (General) Resumed (16 Oct 2008)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...and Human Rights Commission, and their facilities, back office, administrative services and access for citizens, are to be fully integrated.

The Government claimed it had withdrawn its proposal during the summer to merge...

Twenty-eighth Amendment of the Constitution Bill 2008: Second Stage (Resumed) (3 Apr 2008)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...benches — if it is Opposition - and they have told us that it is not practical or efficient to have 27 Commissioners. Let us make a quick comparison with the other side of the Chamber. We have 15 Ministers and 20 Ministers of State for a population of just less than 5 million people. It seems more than credible and necessary to have 27 Commissioners to represent more than 500 million...

National Drugs Strategy. (30 Nov 2005)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: The Minister said he will adhere to the €1 million figure for emerging needs. This is not anywhere near the figure that is required by the 57 proposals so far, only five of which have been dealt with, for emerging needs. That reflects the crisis there is with drugs. It also does not take into account the proposals for emerging needs which were encouraged by the Department. Those proposals...

Tsunami Disaster: Statements. (26 Jan 2005)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Tá mé ag roinnt ama leis na Teachtaí Connolly, Finian McGrath agus Sargent. Thar cheann Sinn Féin, déanaim comhbhrón faoin tragóid ollmhór, an tsunami seo, a d'fhág 250,000 duine marbh i ndosaen náisiún san Áise thoir-theas agus san Afraic mí ó shin. I measc na marbh, bhí bean óg ó mo cheantar féin, Eilís Finnegan, agus tá Éireannach eile caillte, Conor Keightley, as Tír...
