Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Fiscal Assessment Report: Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform (16 Jan 2019)

Paschal Donohoe: The Deputy and I have debated each of those measures. I would argue that many of his proposals would destroy jobs and investment in our economy. As I will indicate in my letter, a key issue that should have been considered in the ensuing debate is that I made a decision to change a significant tax rate to pay for much of the additional expenditure that followed. Of course, as the Deputy...

Questions on Promised Legislation (18 May 2017)

Paschal Donohoe: We have not destroyed community initiative. We are not looking in any way to frustrate the work of communities in responding to their challenges, in particular in the rural context to which the Deputy refers. That is the reason the Minister, Deputy Humphreys, has an action plan on the development of rural Ireland to which every Department is committed, and in which we are making progress....

Dáil Reform: Statements (2 Jun 2011)

Paschal Donohoe: I challenge the point made by Deputy Boyd Barrett that our participation in the IMF-EU plan is destroying democracy and has removed our sovereignty. I note that he qualified the remark towards the end of his contribution. The IMF and EU are not dictating to us what the rights of children should be. They are not dictating to us how we should organise and run our schools and hospitals....

Seanad: Order of Business (4 Feb 2009)

Paschal Donohoe: I support Senator McFadden. We will not take lectures on responsibility on this side of the House.
