Warning letter to Gaeltacht gardener

Summary

Pearse Doherty challenges an alleged departmental warning letter to a Glenveagh gardener speaking about Gaeltacht legislation, but the exchange is curtailed amid brief political banter.

Tá sé ráite sna meáin inniu go bhfuair garraíodóir ó pháirc náisiúnta Ghleann Bheatha litir bhagartha arís ón Roinn siocair go raibh sé ag labhairt amach ar Bhille a chuaigh fríd an Teach seo, Bille na Gaeltachta. An aontaíonn an Taoiseach gur cóir litir bhagartha a chur chuig duine atá ag obair mar gharraíodóir atá ag labhairt amach ar son phobal na Gaeltachta faoi reachtaíocht a théann fríd an Teach seo?

Ó thaobh na reachtaíochta atá le teacht chun cáin a fhorchur ar thithe, on the Finance (Local Property Tax) Bill, which was announced in the legislative programme yesterday, can the Taoiseach indicate when this Bill will be published and if he intends to publish the expert report that has looked into this matter in advance of the publication of the Bill? Can we take it that the fact that responsibility for this Bill has been transferred to the Department of Finance is a vote of no confidence by the Government into the disastrous performance by Big Phil on the household charge?

I ask the Deputy not to beat it to death but to stick to promised legislation.

The Taoiseach does not sound too confident.
