- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: International Agreements (25 Apr 2024)
Joan Collins: Okay. I was just about to look for a deferment. I am raising Ireland's position on establishing the United Nations framework convention on international tax co-operation. Last month, at a statement in Paris urging EU countries to support the new UN framework convention on international tax co-operation, we learned that global tax abuse will cost the EU €1 trillion over the next...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: International Agreements (25 Apr 2024)
Neale Richmond: I sincerely thank Deputy Collins for submitting this important Topical Issue. As this House is no doubt aware, Ireland is a full supporter of multilateralism and is committed to effective international tax co-operation through various forums including the aforementioned OECD and the UN. Ireland is contributing constructively to the process at the UN to develop a framework convention on...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: International Agreements (25 Apr 2024)
Joan Collins: I will have to read that reply again as it got very convoluted. I will read it in detail because I want to come back to the Minister of State on it. It does not look to me as though Ireland's taken position is as positive as he has stated. All OECD members were part of the 48 countries that voted against the UN resolution. Those countries represent 15% of the world's population and are...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Postal Services (25 Apr 2024)
Anne Rabbitte: I welcome the opportunity to outline the position on this matter on behalf of the Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan, and the Minister of State, Deputy Chambers. They are both very aware of the impact that decisions relating to changes in An Post operations have on communities and individuals in both rural and urban areas. An Post is a commercial State company with a mandate to act commercially...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Postal Services (25 Apr 2024)
Chris Andrews: We often talk about a 15-minute city, but this model of An Post postal service delivery will not lend itself to a 15-minute city. People will have to travel significantly longer to reach the local post office. One example, as I mentioned earlier, was when Kevin Street post office closed. Residents have quite a distance to go now to reach the nearest post office, and at an older age it...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Postal Services (25 Apr 2024)
Anne Rabbitte: I thank the Deputy for raising this important matter. As I said, I am taking it on behalf of the Minister, Deputy Ryan. I have listened with interest to the points raised by the Deputy. As I indicated earlier, decisions relating to post offices are an operational matter for An Post and not a matter in which the Minister has a statutory function. The Deputy will appreciate that the...

Joe O'Brien: I thank the Deputies who contributed to the discussion this afternoon. I appreciate the support of Deputies across the board for progressing the measures contained in this Bill, which will have a positive impact on the interactions that citizens have with the State civil registration service and will greatly assist in the modernisation of the service. The introduction of online registration...

- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Postal Services (25 Apr 2024)
Chris Andrews: I thank the Minister of State, Deputy Anne Rabbitte. An Post is planning on selling off its beautiful art deco building which has been the home of Rathmines post office for almost 90 years and is an iconic building in the heart of Rathmines. In one fell swoop, the actions of An Post will mean that this building will be lost to the Rathmines community and An Post will privatise the postal...
