Simon Harris: We will call a vote and they will be upset about the business but none of them bothered dissenting at the meeting. Let us have a little bit of fairness and give and take here. Deputy McGrath's commitment to investment in water services is something we share. The Government is very keen to do more in relation to water.

- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (18 Sep 2024)
Danny Healy-Rae: It is fairly hard for any Deputy in the House to get elected. For each Deputy, it is a difficult ordeal. Notwithstanding that, it is easy enough to come up from Kerry. There are no restrictions all the way on the road up but it is getting increasingly more difficult to come into this building. On my way, I went out of the Dáil and I wanted to come back up through Molesworth Street....

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: All right Deputy. There are security measures in place because of threatened protest outside. We did not want to see happening today what happened on our return last September. The Superintendent circulated to every Member the details of how access could be achieved. I accept that it is problematic for Members and I am quite prepared to talk to them offline about how we might improve...

Michael Healy-Rae: I warmly welcome the witnesses. I thank them for the benefit of their time, their expertise and the knowledge they have in the various organisations they represent.

Michael Healy-Rae: I listened carefully to what Dr. Kelly was saying, that he does not see evidence of rejections because people are not asking. Is there any fear that the people are so turned off that they are not even going to the banks at this stage because they know the banks are not lending? He did not touch on one subject. Can we ever get back to the situation we had before, where the bank manager...
- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Pre-Budget Engagement (18 Sep 2024)
Jack Chambers: I thank the members for the invitation to appear before the committee to discuss budget 2025, which both I and the Minister, Deputy Donohoe, will present to the Oireachtas in a little under two weeks’ time. To begin, I will briefly set out the economic and fiscal background for this year’s budget. At an aggregate level, the Irish economy is in reasonably good shape. With...

Jack Chambers: We will set out the mechanics of how we propose to spend or utilise the €3 billion which we have on account now from the AIB share sales.

- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Pre-Budget Engagement (18 Sep 2024)
Jack Chambers: It is in there already. The money from the share sales is in ISIF. In terms of the additional future shares, that is a matter for future decisions in the context of the share position of the Irish State in AIB. That is a matter for future sales that may or may not occur. We have set out previously that we have had an ongoing sale of shares from AIB and at the appropriate time in the...
