Prayer. 29/09/2020A00100Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders’ Questions 29/09/2020A00200Deputy Mary Lou McDonald: Yesterday was a very bad day for tens of thousands of fami- lies and businesses that need breathing space in respect of their mortgages The announcement that mortgage breaks will come to an end after this week has caused a great deal of anxiety and stress These mortgage breaks gave homeowners and businesses some relief as the economic effects of the emergency and public health restrictions bit hard. Nobody expected the mortgage breaks to go on forever but they should certainly have been maintained for as long as the pan- demic continued In other countries, mortgage holders have been given breaks of nine months or even a year but that is not the case here Here, mortgage holders got a break of three months followed by an extension lasting a further three months Yesterday, we learnt that the banks will return to business as usual but it is not a case of business as usual for many families and businesses There are families and businesses that will simply not be able to return to repaying their mortgages normally Leaving mortgage holders to go it alone and relying on the sympathy of the banks to deal with individual cases is, frankly, unacceptable Yesterday’s meeting between senior Government Ministers and the banks was a facade There was no real intent on the part of the Government to reach a solution that would help mortgage holders All of this is happening at a time when the cosy connections between the Government and the financial sector are once again on show. We have learnt that the former Minister of State, Senator Michael D’Arcy, is leaving the Seanad to be appointed as CEO of a financial lobbying group. In summary, all of this means that there will be no relief for strug- gling mortgage holders but a big job for a former Minister of State What does this say to the families and businesses that were relying on the Government to stand up for them and to go to bat for them? This is the second former Minister of State at the Department of Finance to go through the revolving door from the Government into the world of high finance. In fact, during yesterday’s meeting, Ministers from the Taoiseach’s Government sat on one side of the table while a former Minister of State at the Department of Finance sat on the other side representing the banks The Tánaiste, Deputy Varadkar, has warmly welcomed Senator D’Arcy’s new job He said that he understands why, after 20 years in public life, the Senator might wish to start a new chapter in his life He said that he will always be welcome should he decide to run for election 126 29 September 2020 again He went on to say that his new employers are fortunate to recruit someone of his calibre The Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan, another of the Taoiseach’s colleagues in government, said something different. He said that he has concerns about all of this and that he has shared those concerns with the Taoiseach. We know that the Standards In Public Office Commission, SIPO, has certainly had concerns about this revolving door. Over the last five years, it has approached the Government to seek changes to legislation that would give it the power to in- vestigate and prosecute Ministers who do not adhere to the rules on cooling-off periods before moving to jobs with lobbying groups SIPO’s approaches in this regard have been consistently ignored by the Government One has to wonder why The Tánaiste has one point of view of the appointment. The Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan, has a different point of view. He says he has concerns and that he has shared these concerns with the Taoiseach Will the Taoiseach set out for us his position on this matter? Does the Taoiseach share the concerns of the Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan? If he does, what are those concerns? What action, as Head of Govern- ment, does the Taoiseach propose to take on this matter? 29/09/2020B00200The Taoiseach: There are two substantive issues contained within the question that the Deputy put. In the first instance, I want to say that I fully understand the anxiety and stress that many individual mortgage holders, many people with personal loans and many small and medium-sized enterprises feel in terms of the ongoing

  • Lettre Conjointe De 1.080 Parlementaires De 25 Pays Européens Aux Gouvernements Et Dirigeants Européens Contre L'annexion De La Cisjordanie Par Israël
    Lettre conjointe de 1.080 parlementaires de 25 pays européens aux gouvernements et dirigeants européens contre l'annexion de la Cisjordanie par Israël 23 juin 2020 Nous, parlementaires de toute l'Europe engagés en faveur d'un ordre mondial fonde ́ sur le droit international, partageons de vives inquietudeś concernant le plan du president́ Trump pour le conflit israeló -palestinien et la perspective d'une annexion israélienne du territoire de la Cisjordanie. Nous sommes profondement́ preoccuṕ eś par le preć edent́ que cela creerait́ pour les relations internationales en geń eral.́ Depuis des decennies,́ l'Europe promeut une solution juste au conflit israeló -palestinien sous la forme d'une solution a ̀ deux Etats,́ conformement́ au droit international et aux resolutionś pertinentes du Conseil de securit́ e ́ des Nations unies. Malheureusement, le plan du president́ Trump s'ecarté des parametres̀ et des principes convenus au niveau international. Il favorise un controlê israelień permanent sur un territoire palestinien fragmente,́ laissant les Palestiniens sans souverainete ́ et donnant feu vert a ̀ Israel̈ pour annexer unilateralement́ des parties importantes de la Cisjordanie. Suivant la voie du plan Trump, la coalition israelienné recemment́ composeé stipule que le gouvernement peut aller de l'avant avec l'annexion des̀ le 1er juillet 2020. Cette decisioń sera fatale aux perspectives de paix israeló -palestinienne et remettra en question les normes les plus fondamentales qui guident les relations internationales, y compris la Charte des Nations unies. Nous sommes profondement́ preoccuṕ eś par l'impact de l'annexion sur la vie des Israelienś et des Palestiniens ainsi que par son potentiel destabilisateuŕ dans la regioń aux portes de notre continent.

Every delegate attending Congress is representing over 1,000 of our 354,000 members across this island. This is an enormous honour for each and every one of you, and I would encourage you to utilise this opportunity to its fullest. Get involved in debate, learn from the ideas and experiences of others, and be inspired to use this week as a vehicle to make a difference. This is a time of great difficulty and challenge for Irish students and Ireland as a whole. A perfect storm of increasing fees, dwindling student supports, a saturated part-time employment market and reduced parental supports due to the wider impact of the recession is upon us. This means many of our members are either forced to survive in poverty or drop out prior to completing their studies.
