Dear Deputy

Thank you for your recent meeting and support regarding the maintenance of ESB as a publicly owned VIU.

Deputy Finian McGrath has stated that he has now withdrawn support from Senator David Norris.   “I deeply regret the position I find myself in but the protection of children and the integrity of the President’s office have got to come first” said the Independent T.D.  “I also had major concerns about the context of the letter which displayed poor judgement and a lack of understanding of consensual sex and the age of consent” added Finian.

Industrial Relations (Amendment) Bill 2011: Second Stage (Resumed)

I thank the Leas-Cheann Comhairle for the opportunity to speak on this new legislation which will provide legal protection for low-paid workers.  This should be supported by all parties in the House as it protects the workers in the regulated sectors who are affected by the High Court judgment.  The Government should face up to reality and assist hundreds of thousands of low-paid workers.  Once again, the Labour Party has walked off the pitch.  It should stop hiding behind Fine Gael on this priority issue.
