Local Government Reform Bill 2013: Motion to Recommit
5:50 pm
Phil Hogan (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
I know Senator Cullinane does not like freedom of speech but I am surprised that he does not acknowledge that the work we are doing in the Bill has already resulted in a 20% reduction in the cost of employing people in Waterford city. Savings have been made on the merger which Senator Cullinane opposed, including in Sinn Féin’s recent budget. It is a clear indication that Senator Cullinane is not in favour of employment or competitiveness.

That 20% translates to job losses and families in hardship
