Topical Issue Debate: Car Theft (22 Oct 2015)

Noel Harrington: I thank the Minister of State for his response. I acknowledge that devices are available for purchase by individual car owners and that it is entirely a matter for owners if they wish to do so. What would be the point of tracking one's stolen vehicle to a lock-up or breaker's yard that is being manned by criminals? The car owner would probably not be able to pass the information to the...

Topical Issue Debate: Car Theft (22 Oct 2015)

Noel Harrington: I thank the Minister of State for remaining in the House so late on a Thursday evening. He has drawn the short straw. Crime is an issue that needs constant and careful consideration and investment. It is a ubiquitous issue that invariably becomes heated in advance of a general election but there is a real security threat that can be dealt with simply by better use of technology. Much...

Criminal Justice (Burglary of Dwellings Bill) 2015: Second Stage (Resumed) (22 Oct 2015)

Noel Harrington: I welcome the opportunity to speak this evening on the Criminal Justice (Burglary of Dwellings) Bill 2015. In doing so, I recognise that our criminal justice system is built on principles such as deterrence and punishment and the idea that people are deemed innocent until proven guilty. That is why we have bail provisions in the first place. This Bill makes two basic provisions, namely,...

Topical Issue Debate: Apprenticeship Programmes (15 Jul 2015)

Noel Harrington: I acknowledge the commitment of the Minister to the maritime and fishing sectors. Places like west Cork have a proud tradition in shipbuilding, particularly in areas around Baltimore, but where I live only one shipwright is left, and he will not mind my saying that he will not be around for very long more as he will be looking to retire shortly, and there is a general dearth of skills. The...

Topical Issue Debate: Apprenticeship Programmes (15 Jul 2015)

Noel Harrington: I thank the Ceann Comhairle's office for selecting this Topical Issue. I will take this opportunity to congratulate the Minister, his staff and the other organisations involved in the Harnessing Our Marine Wealth Conference that was held in Haulbowline last Friday. SeaFest at the weekend was a tremendous success and well attended. I was pleased to hear contributions from the European...

Central Bank (Variable Rate Mortgages) Bill 2015: Second Stage (Resumed) [Private Members] (8 Jul 2015)

Noel Harrington: I thank Deputy McGrath for introducing this Private Members' Bill and I welcome the opportunity to speak on it. There is a problem with high standard variable interest rates, which are punitive on bank customers. The problem has to be resolved and a solution found. The Bill has been brought forward as a measure of good faith to force the banks, through the Central Bank or whatever...

Civil Debt (Procedures) Bill 2015: Second Stage (Resumed) (7 Jul 2015)

Noel Harrington: I welcome the opportunity to speak on the Civil Debt (Procedures) Bill 2015. Sometimes one has to stand back to see the wood for the trees. One has to cut through a lot of the hyperbole, the rhetoric, the inflammatory language and the images that are put before the House, such as what I have heard in the past ten or fifteen minutes, and look at the reality behind the introduction of this...

Credit Unions: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (24 Jun 2015)

Noel Harrington: I welcome the opportunity to speak on the motion. I compliment the work the credit unions have been doing throughout the country over the last 50 or more years in supporting their communities. The intent behind the motion is curious. We know what the problems are. Many credit unions, through the Irish League of Credit Unions, have been very clear about how they would see their role...
