Order of Business.
I understand it is suggested that we take the Finance Bill at 4 o'clock but the Northern Committee are sitting at 4.30 pm. until 6 p.m. This is the committee dealing with Northern affairs and the Cons...
It is now considered an offence to be a member of a committee.
If we are not going to get it changed and if the Government want to proceed with the Finance Bill they can do so. I am sure Deputy O'Donovan will sit in for me. I know Deputy FitzGerald is in a diff...
Committee on Finance. - An Bille um an gCeathrú Leasú ar an mBunreacht, 1972: An Dara Céim. Fourth Amendment of the Constitution Bill, 1972: Second Stage.
They do not have to have legislation for it anyway.
They could do it just by order.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Unemployment Benefit Claimant.
asked the Minister for Social Welfare why a CIE school bus driver (name supplied) in County Monaghan was refused unemployment benefit for periods at Christmas, 1971, and Easter, 1972, during which he ...
Can the Parliamentary Secretary say whether it was considered that this man was in insurable employment with CIE?
Was it decided by the Department that this man was in insurable employment? It must have been, because he had stamped an insurance card. When he became unemployed he was not an insured worker accord...
Can the Parliamentary Secretary say on what grounds his appeal was turned down? Surely the deciding officer was carrying out the instructions of the Department. On what grounds was this man's claim ...
When he was employed by CIE and stamping a card what was he?
And, therefore, paying for benefits which, when he was unemployed, the Department refused to give him.
How could he be employed by CIE and stamping an insurance card if he was fully employed previously? Surely there is something wrong with the ruling and something wrong with the whole scheme? Would t...
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Recruitment of Ushers.
Would the Minister ensure when the interview takes place this time that some member of the interview board will not decide to veto certain candidates because he personally thinks they are unfit for on...
Then the Minister is not aware of what happened at previous interviews.
The results were very unsatisfactory.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Clonmacnoise Monument.
Somebody will.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Pig Feed Prices.
Is the Parliamentary Secretary saying that he agrees there is no future in pig fattening on a large scale in this country?
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Blackwater Fishery.
Would the Parliamentary Secretary agree that the people of Dublin North Central may be worried but it is the Deputies in Meath and the Meath County Council who know a great deal more about what is goi...
Would the Parliamentary Secretary say if the Kilbride Anglers' Club is made up mainly of civil servants?
Is there not also a board of conservators and a planning authority to deal with these matters?
Committee on Finance. - Finance Bill, 1972: Committee Stage.
Is there any particular reason why the amendment cannot be accepted or why the Minister cannot undertake to introduce an amendment which would achieve the same results? What Deputy FitzGerald says see...
Is the Minister trying to prevent somebody from getting too much? If that is not discrimination I do not know what is.
It depends on whether you are an optimist or a pessimist.
Why should she be at a disadvantage in any case?
Accident or no accident.
It does appear that the issue is not a matter of principle but simply whether or not the words mean what the Minister claims they mean and what Deputy FitzGerald claims they do not mean. It is a ques...
If the Minister wants to achieve something, it is the Minister's job to ensure that it is achieved. Deputy FitzGerald pointed out, and rightly so, that he thought this was wrong and should be correcte...
“Entered upon”.
Would that not be a very unlikely eventuality?
I do not know whether or not I am becoming a little bit puzzled about all this, but normally an intricate Bill like this will have certain amendments proposed to it; these are debated and either accep...
They are there and we either accept them or we do not. If we are not prepared to accept them, then we should put down an amendment designed to do something else. Fine Gael will deal with this in thei...
I do not agree with Deputy J. Lenehan on a number of things but he did refer to the fact that one has heard again and again and again the same point raised by the one Deputy and it does sound a little...
If Deputy Bruton is referring to me, I was here in this House long before he ever came in here and I spend more time in this House than any Deputy in Fine Gael or any other party.
Would it be possible to introduce such an amendment now? I assume it could be introduced in the Seanad and come back to the Dáil.
I do not think so. It would be a new matter.
No.
Committee on Finance. - Vote 26: Local Government (Resumed).
That is what is known as gazumping.
What type of work could an unskilled man do?
Therefore, the Deputy is semi-skilled.
