Topical Issue Debate: Home Care Packages (8 Apr 2014)

Robert Troy: ...would be interesting to note the figures. I am not speaking about large chain operators. I am speaking about small service providers such as Waddlers and Toddlers in Rathowen in County Westmeath or On Cloud 9 in Mullingar, where the owner operator is in charge. I could give a range of other examples from my constituency and I am sure such services also exist in the Minister's...

Brendan Howlin: ...standards we aspire too for our people, and the public services they deserve, are dependent on our ability to earn our way in the world.

Pat Rabbitte: ...before he became a Member of the House, and I regret he is not present in the Chamber. He is a particularly intelligent Member of the House for whom I have a lot of regard, but whoever wrote his script is living in cloud cuckoo land. He ranted on about neoliberalism and the fact this is being sold only for reasons of ideological motivation, but I am afraid that is not the case. I wish...

Peadar Tóibín: ...growth area but it accounts for 4.2% of the working population, which is a very small segment of the economy. I often get frustrated when buzzwords creep into the lexicon of job creation, such as "cloud computing" and "big data". They are seen as a panacea for problems, whereas in fact they are tiny opportunities in the whole scheme of things. All opportunities must be chased...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: ICT Skills Report: Discussion (19 Feb 2013)

...that is necessarily the best way to operate. I would create one MIT-like institution in Ireland which all of the very top talent would attend. Everyone who graduated would know that he or she was competing among the very best in the country. This would ensure we would not lower the skill or talent level in each of the universities. Another action I would take would be to bring to an...

...airport in that it also has connections to the Heathrow hub. When I said that it does not necessarily have to be to the detriment of other airports, of course competition will mean that we will compete with the other airports.

Seanad: Criminal Justice (Spent Convictions) Bill 2012: Second Stage (13 Jun 2012)

Kathleen Lynch: ...how minor or how long ago. This Bill has the potential to remove the ball and chain a criminal record can represent to people. Even when everyone else has moved on, the person still feels a cloud hangs over him. This is the case even where the cloud relates to a minor misdemeanour that occurred a generation ago. There is a sense, and I am sure Members have encountered this when dealing...

Action Plan for Jobs 2012: Statements (16 Feb 2012)

Joan Collins: ...remaining 250,000 on the live register or those emigrating? This is what we really must contend with. The Taoiseach claims Ireland is the best small country in which to do business. Who are we competing with – the Cayman Islands, Jersey, the Isle of Man? Is it about incentivising top earners and multimillionaires with low taxes, which is not new anyway? A policy based on austerity,...
