Finance Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (5 Nov 2024)

Pearse Doherty: I need to pull up the Minister on his claim. He has not withdrawn it. Does he accept – he cannot but do so – that people who have had their loans sold to vulture funds currently do not have the same protections they would have if they had not been sold? Quite a large number of individuals do not. The Minister is in charge of the legislation that is supposed to stop this. It...

Finance Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (5 Nov 2024)

Pearse Doherty: Obviously, we are all waiting for the whistle to be blown in terms of the election. In my time in these Houses, I think this is the 18th Finance Bill I have responded to. Even during the time of the IMF bailout, there was agreement to get the Finance Bill through the House. This guillotine is not appropriate. There are sections in this legislation which will not see the light of day in...

Catherine Connolly: I dtús báire, tá botún le réiteach. There is a typographical error that the Minister will address.

Finance Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (5 Nov 2024)

Jack Chambers: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Leas-Cheann Comhairle. I wish to draw Deputies' attention to a minor typographical error that my Department has noted in the Bill on page 161, line 14. A reference has been inadvertently labelled “89A(ii) of (iii)” rather than the correct version of “89A(ii) or (iii)”. I seek to invoke Dáil Standing Order 196 to request that...

SECTION 1

Finance Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (5 Nov 2024)

Mattie McGrath: I move amendment No. 1: In page 9, between lines 18 and 19, to insert the following: “ “investment undertaking” includes a retail credit firm as defined in section 28 of the Central Bank Act 1997 and any other person who owns credit which is being serviced by a credit servicer as defined in section 28(2) of that Act.”. I am very concerned about the lack of...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (5 Nov 2024)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: The Taoiseach will be aware that there is a great deal of ambition and appetite for improved public transport in Cork but confidence in the system is unfortunately being seriously undermined. Our office is inundated with constant reports of buses not turning up or turning up an hour and 15 minutes late on services that are supposed to run every 20 minutes. Even with the timetable being...

Catherine Connolly: Speakers have 30 seconds each. I call an Teachta Ó Cathasaigh.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (5 Nov 2024)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: It has been just over a year since Storm Babet visited severe flooding on communities in east Cork and west Waterford. If we had not been reminded of this by its anniversary, the flooding in Spain will certainly have reminded us in a very visceral way. Replies to freedom of information requests show that detailed information is being shared with local authorities ahead of heavy rainfall...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (5 Nov 2024)

Willie O'Dea: It is an open secret that the accident and emergency services provided at University Hospital Limerick are grossly inadequate to meet the needs of the population the hospital is supposed to serve. More than six months has elapsed since HIQA was tasked with finding out if these services were adequate, although we all know they are not, and with making recommendations as to improvements that...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (5 Nov 2024)

Verona Murphy: Yesterday, I had a visit from a lady who had been diagnosed with cancer. She was particularly stressed because, having applied for and received a medical card, she then had to apply for the fuel allowance, an application that has been turned down. Today, that lady phoned me to say that she has received a secondary cancer diagnosis. She is particularly stressed. Not being able to heat her...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (5 Nov 2024)

Simon Harris: I will ask the Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan, to take the two questions on transport if that is okay. I will respond very briefly on the other matters. I thank Deputy Griffin very much for raising the issue of the posthumous pardon for Sylvester Poff and James Barrett and for his role in that campaign. His suggestion as regards Ballymullen Barracks is appropriate and I will certainly follow...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (5 Nov 2024)

Eamon Ryan: To respond to Deputy Danny Healy-Rae, our Department will be looking at the roads allocation for both national and regional roads now. It will have to be agreed with Transport Infrastructure Ireland. That will be developed and agreed with TII before the end of the year. I absolutely agree that we need to maintain maintenance funding for roads because, once a road falls below a certain...

Control of Economic Activity (Occupied Territories) Bill 2018: Referral to Select Committee [Private Members] (5 Nov 2024)

Thomas Pringle: I move: That the Bill be referred to the Select Committee on Foreign Affairs and Defence pursuant to Standing Order 180. Even at this late stage, it is vitally important that any barriers to the passing of the Bill be removed. This can be done through this motion. There is still time for the Government to have a change of heart. It is not likely but there is still time. It is very...
