Finance Bill 2024: Second Stage (16 Oct 2024)

Ruairi Ó Murchú: It is another year, another budget, and another finance Bill, and we have a continuity of unfairness. We have not had the levelling-out with the huge resources we have with regard to those who have and those who do not. This is the Government's final budget. We are talking about the same two-tier income tax package we have come to expect. The cost-of-living crisis is obviously not over...

Finance Bill 2024: Second Stage (16 Oct 2024)

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: The Deputy might try tabling an amendment to the Bill to address those interesting matters.

Finance Bill 2024: Second Stage (16 Oct 2024)

James Lawless: That is what parliamentary questions are for.

Finance Bill 2024: Second Stage (16 Oct 2024)

Ruairi Ó Murchú: They would have to go through six months or more. He would be happy enough if he could do the test now but he said there was a possibility of a digicard with the New Zealand licence, and even if there was, there is the timeline anomaly with regard to it. However, there is an overall solution that needs to be implemented, such as a bilateral agreement. I thank the Ceann Comhairle for his...

Finance Bill 2024: Second Stage (16 Oct 2024)

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: I thank Deputy Ó Murchú. He is a man of great versatility. Deputy Boyd Barrett is next.

Finance Bill 2024: Second Stage (16 Oct 2024)

Richard Boyd Barrett: It is a remarkable achievement by the Government that it has a budget surplus of, I think, €25 billion. The Minister of State can correct me if I am wrong. I think it is €25 billion or in that region. It has a windfall of €13 billion plus in Apple tax money that it did not want because it would have preferred that Apple, a staggeringly wealthy and profitable company,...

Finance Bill 2024: Second Stage (16 Oct 2024)

Róisín Shortall: I very much welcome the opportunity to again discuss budget measures. I will concentrate, in particular, on tax measures contained in budget 2025 that, overall, are bad for the public and bad for the State. Budget 2025 can only be characterised as a naked attempt to buy the election. As I said on budget day, it has all the hallmarks of a Bertie budget. The Government's overriding...

Finance Bill 2024: Second Stage (16 Oct 2024)

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: I thank Deputy Nash. For another Louth perspective, I call Deputy Fergus O'Dowd.

Finance Bill 2024: Second Stage (16 Oct 2024)

Fergus O'Dowd: I call on all the people who have any knowledge of the disappearance and murder of that young boy in Drogheda to co-operate fully with the Garda. It is very important. What we have been told today is shocking and traumatic and everybody who can help should. I welcome this budget. There are many important things in it, which I welcome. In particular, I will talk about older people....

Finance Bill 2024: Second Stage (16 Oct 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I do not often find myself agreeing with Deputy O'Dowd but I certainly agree with him on much of what he said there. There is lots more to do. This Finance Bill gives effect to the budget. I think it is a budget of missed opportunities. It was introduced earlier this month. It is a budget and Finance Bill without a sense of national purpose. I have heard that said a lot since. I will...

Finance Bill 2024: Second Stage (16 Oct 2024)

Gerald Nash: This legislation gives effect to many of the proposals announced in the budget just over two weeks ago. As we know, this is the final Finance Bill of the Government's term. Make no mistake, this is an election budget and this is an election Finance Bill. I described budget 2025 as "all gravy". Now the gravy has dried up and it is revealed, as I said on budget day, that once that happened,...

Finance Bill 2024: Second Stage (16 Oct 2024)

Pearse Doherty: Gabhaim buíochas leis an gCathaoirleach Gníomhach. Táimid anseo inniu le díospóireacht a dhéanamh ar an mBille Airgeadais 2024 agus ba mhaith liom buíochas a ghabháil leis an oifig agus leis an bhfoireann go léir bhí ag obair ar an mBille seo. Is post deacair agus teicniúil é chun é a chur i bhfeidhm. Tá sé thar a...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: State Response to Online Disinformation and Media and Digital Literacy: Discussion (Resumed) (16 Oct 2024)

Niamh Smyth: We have received apologies from Senator Annie Hoey. I thank our guests for coming in and being here with us. We really look forward to what they have to say on this very topical issue of disinformation and misinformation. I have a little housekeeping to do before we proceed, if our guests can bear with me and my colleagues while we get through that. I have some committee business to...

This meeting continues the committee's engagement on...
