- Criminal Justice Bill 2007: Second Stage (Resumed) (23 Mar 2007)
John Dennehy: Like other speakers, I welcome the opportunity to contribute to this debate. The provisions of the Bill are geared to deal with what is now commonly described as gangland crime. I have some difficulty with categorising all crimes in the manner we are tending to do. I have particular concerns about glamorising some criminals by ascribing certain titles either to them individually or by...
- Pharmacy Bill 2007 [Seanad]: Second Stage (23 Mar 2007)
John Dennehy: I welcome the opportunity to contribute on the Bill. We often tend to describe Bills as coming to the House not before time. It is appropriate to say the same in this instance. It must be hard for the public to comprehend that in the process we are repealing Acts related to the profession which date back to 1790 and 1870. This is the first major overhaul of the regulation of pharmacies in...

Being the newest member of the Joint Committee on Education and Science, I have been learning a fair amount in recent weeks, having replaced the newly elevated Minister of State, Deputy Haughey. I am very interested in its work. I agree with Deputy Curran that everyone is in favour of forward planning and can name examples. In Ballygarvan, County...

- State Airports. (21 Feb 2007)
John Dennehy: When Shannon and Dublin airports were redeveloped the funding came from central airport funds. Cork Airport is entitled to the same treatment. It is disingenuous of Dublin Airport management and Dublin-based Senators and others to say that if Cork is funded from central funds, it will lead to a significant increase in individual passenger charges for Dublin passengers. Deputy Kelleher made...

- Finance Bill 2007: Second Stage (Resumed) (7 Feb 2007)
John Dennehy: At the outset, I wish to give a little advice to Deputy Hayes on the horse breeding industry. We are aware that the European Commission was examining the tax relief concerned, but I advise him to look for criticism much nearer to home. His potential coalition partners are the ones who have made the noise.

- Finance Bill 2007: Second Stage (Resumed) (7 Feb 2007)
John Dennehy: Deputy Curran referred earlier to the new tax relief scheme for the Shannon area and there is also tax relief for the film industry. I support all those schemes although I have no direct involvement in any of them. There is a significant amount of begrudgery on many sides of the House on these issues but we cannot afford it because too much employment is at stake and we are under too much...
- Finance Bill 2007: Second Stage (Resumed) (7 Feb 2007)
John Dennehy: As I said, there are millions of euro in unclaimed taxes and the Government has taken unprecedented action to return the money, something previously not considered. There are two thresholds for claiming relief for health expenses â â¬125 for one person and â¬250 for a family, and the aim is to rationalise these into a single threshold of â¬125. Again, in an effort to expedite the tax...
