Child Sex Offenders (Information And Monitoring) Bill 2012: Second Stage [Private Members] (11 Oct 2013)

Brian Hayes: ...person. As the application will be private and is inquiring after information, it is hard to see how an application itself it can cause harm. The only two circumstances that the Minister can envisage being of concern is wasting police time or seeking information on a third party when there is no perceived threat to a child. Wasting police time is not a new problem and the penalties for...

The principal elements of cost that arise in this project relate to the main road works contract (contract award price - €1.63m ex VAT) and the waste disposal contract (subject to a separate tender to be undertaken shortly and accordingly the budget provision cannot be released at this point). Costs associated with Surveys, Consultant...

Private Members' Business (3 Nov 2010)

Brian Hayes: This motion is not about blood letting, it is about ensuring the House lays down a marker for the Government about the appallingly wasteful management of the bank crisis by the Government to date. The reason our deficit adjustment figure has gone from €7.5 billion to €15 billion is the news of the extraordinary cost of the banking bailout on Black Thursday. That is the cost the Irish...

School Utility Services (6 May 2010)

Brian Hayes: This matter was first brought to my attention by the Catholic Primary School Management Association, CPSMA, which had the matter brought to its attention by a large number of its schools. I have spoken with some gas companies, which claimed that they have no control over this area because the regulator sets the tariff and pricing structure. This is a matter for the regulator in consultation...

Financial Resolution No. 15: (General) Resumed (15 Oct 2008)

Brian Hayes: ...is that children will pay the price for Fianna Fáil's incompetence over the past five years. The children in primary and post-primary schools must pay the price for the Government's incompetence, waste and wanton disregard for financial stability. The Taoiseach lectured the House this morning about honesty in this debate. Let us have that honesty from the other side of the House. When...

Capitation Grants: Motion (Resumed) (12 Mar 2008)

Brian Hayes: .... What planet are they on? Listening to the Minister for Education and Science last night, there is no sense that she is fully engaged with the hand to mouth financial operation that school managers have to encounter on a daily basis. Listening to her, one could get the impression that it is really the fault of the school that seems unwilling to recognise the great strides that we have...

Seanad: National Development Plan: Motion (7 Feb 2007)

Brian Hayes: ...and particularly in the development of public transport, etc. However, most commentators now accept that the Government is trying to sell this plan on the basis that its Ministers are competent managers, whereas, as Senator John Paul Phelan rightly said, its whole record is one of utter incompetence. Some 60% of the previous plan was never implemented and Ministers were responsible for...

Seanad: Order of Business. (14 Dec 2005)

Brian Hayes: ...pit that is and was the PPARS project in the Department of Health and Children. The immediate response of the Tánaiste to the report into this fiasco, which found that over €200 million was wasted on the system, which cost over 29 times the original estimate, was to state that lessons are to be learned from it. I wonder if the Leader of the House can ask the Tánaiste to come to the...

Seanad: Local Government Bill 2003: Second Stage. (26 Feb 2003)

Brian Hayes: ...what we preach locally. I have heard the Minister speak about this in the past and he was right. Too many Members of these Houses who are not county councillors hide on important issues such as waste management, zoning and Travellers. It is arguable that some of the hardest decisions one must make as a politician are local as they confront people with changes that must occur in their...
