Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Funding Granted by Sport Ireland to the Football Association of Ireland and Related Matters: Discussion (3 Apr 2019)

Robert Troy: In his opening statement Mr. Treacy rightly indicates that contractual arrangements are not the responsibility of Sport Ireland. He also refers to recent commentary on rental payments. It may not be Sports Ireland's responsibility per se, but there is great concern when we read stories about our international women's football team having to change in airport toilets and share tracksuits....

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Estimates for Public Services 2019
Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (Revised) (6 Mar 2019)

Robert Troy: I asked the NTA last week about all the projects it is responsible for rolling out over the next years, including BusConnects and the new pilot project for rural transport. It indicated it will recruit additional staff. I presume the increase in funding for public transport agencies is to cater for increased recruitment. Will the Minister confirm that? The Minister said that 60 to 70...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Business of Joint Committee (27 Feb 2019)

Robert Troy: It is unusual. Previously, when we sought to have the Minister attend and there was a clash in his diary, he would say that he would be available on such a day. This is the first time he has not indicated an alternative date. He did not actually say there was a clash in the diary, he referred to the pressure of work and his busy schedule. I would place a bet that if one went to the...

Accessibility of Public Transport for People with Disabilities: Motion (21 Feb 2019)

Robert Troy: ...the Department imposes on Bus Éireann and Dublin Bus. This is not currently the case, and that can be addressed quite quickly.

Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) (20 Feb 2019)

Robert Troy: ...revise Annex III to Directive 2002/49/ EC". It is up to Deputy Clare Daly to explain her rationale but my understanding is that her reason for using a carbon copy of those words was the Minister's indication that he could not change anything that was not stated in the regulations. I recently informed the Minister that it was stated in the regulations and that, therefore, we would support...

Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Report Stage (13 Feb 2019)

Based on that, we were happy to withdraw our amendments on Committee Stage but we indicated we would be resubmitting them on Report Stage, which we have done. Having listened to the Minister's reply to Deputy Coppinger, however, I am none the wiser about how he intends, in his...

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Committee Stage (16 Jan 2019)

Robert Troy: ...Statute Book. The Minister has even missed the timeline he set out last July and continues to miss every timeline he has set down. He changes as he goes along. In February 2018, the Minister first indicated that Fingal County Council would be made the competent authority. I raised concerns then about the council's capacity and whether it would have the relevant expertise to ensure it...

Robert Troy: ...that he will be back at the level of spending where the Department was before he took office? Additional road money is welcome but we are still somewhat below our steady-state requirement. Does the Minister have any indication of when we might be in a position to meet that requirement? Ultimately, the longer we prolong investment in our roads, the more it will cost in the long run. ...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Sports Policy 2018-2027: Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport (14 Nov 2018)

Robert Troy: ...facilities. Our sports capital programme must be acknowledged for the success it is. When will the large-scale sports infrastructure fund finally be opened? Responses to parliamentary questions indicate it will open "shortly" for months. Is it possible for the Minister to give a clear timeframe on that? Many sporting bodies await the opening of the fund. One of the key targets is the...

Robert Troy: ...12 years to limit catastrophe yet the Government continues to purchase diesel buses for public transport and it has yet to publish the wind energy guidelines and the solar farm guidelines.

Ceisteanna (Atógáil) - Questions (Resumed) - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Airport Development Projects (6 Nov 2018)

Robert Troy: It is a fact that the report was not requested by the Government's national aviation policy in 2015. Has the Minister met the DAA to discuss a third terminal? He can indicate whether the answer is yes or no. Has he met any key private stakeholders about the third terminal? Again, the Minister can indicate whether the answer is yes or no. An independent noise regulator is critical to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Safety of School Transport Bus Fleet: Road Safety Authority (24 Oct 2018)

Robert Troy: ...the RSA's safety concerns about school buses. Is the RSA satisfied these concerns have been addressed satisfactorily? Why does the RSA not share its risk index with Bus Éireann? The witnesses have indicated it is because of GDPR. Has the RSA received advice on this regard from the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner? If so, will the witnesses share that advice?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Safety of School Transport Bus Fleet: Road Safety Authority (24 Oct 2018)
