Civil Debt (Procedures) Bill 2015: Second Stage (3 Jul 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I did not say it was millions. The Minister heard Deputy Catherine Byrne say this about the waste management debt that Dublin City Council sold to Legal and Trade Collections and other legal firms to pursue and recuperate as much of that debt as it could. They are still trying to do that. That is why it is still an issue. I have not said people should not pay but that people need to...

Civil Debt (Procedures) Bill 2015: Second Stage (3 Jul 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I said that about Irish Water and the waste management companies. I did not raise the issue of waste management and people with €1,500, or whatever, left over. That debt is sold. That is what companies do. They will make a provision in their annual accounts to write it off after two or three years. It is not worth the time of most of these companies chasing the €500 or the...

Civil Debt (Procedures) Bill 2015: Second Stage (3 Jul 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...about whom Deputy Catherine Byrne was talking. We are in the same constituency. I know many more beyond that who write to me every day saying they do not have the money, so even if they did manage to budget they would not have the extra hours. If they are working they must pay the universal social charge or the pension related deduction which make it very difficult to budget. That...

Environment (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2014: Report Stage (Resumed) (2 Jul 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...round of amendments. In many ways, from the Minister of State’s point of view and that of the previous Government, this is the logical conclusion to the removal from local authorities of waste management. It is now in the hands of private operators who operate it as a business rather than a service, but up to now they have had very little interest in regard to the concerns of the...

Social Welfare and Pensions Bill 2014: Report Stage (Resumed) (18 Jun 2014)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: .... I hope the situation in Greyhound is resolved and I have heard the worker who was injured by the truck is out of hospital, but he was severely injured. There are question marks over the waste management system in the city of Dublin. I have asked colleagues to look at how it can be regulated rather than having trucks chasing each other in the middle of the night. The whole issue...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Annual Report 2013: Office of the Ombudsman (4 Jun 2014)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...goes beyond the public sector, it is more difficult for us in the Dáil to hold it to account. Obviously, the same applies to the Office of the Ombudsman in many ways. Mr. Tyndall mentioned waste services. Anyone who lives in Dublin will understand the chaos that has ensued since responsibility for collection and disposal has passed to a private company. While the overall...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Annual Report 2013: Office of the Ombudsman (4 Jun 2014)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: .... It is a report that I have looked forward to for many years and I have encouraged as many members of the public as possible to engage with the Office of the Ombudsman. If Mr. Tyndall ever gets waste management, I wish him well because the way it is going with some of the companies at the moment, he will get 11,000 complaints every week in this city. I will ask members to indicate...

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...see what steps the Government will take to ensure there are opportunities for people aged 50, 55 and 60 who are laid off and end up in the dole queues and that they are not seen as ending up on the waste heap, to finish their employment days on the dole waiting for their pension. I do not see any particular targeted activation measures for those people. So far, most initiatives, of which...

Communications (Retention of Data) Bill 2009: Second Stage (8 Oct 2009)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...having the best equipment or the required number of gardaí dedicated to tackling crime, because many of them are stuck behind desks where they should not be, it means their valuable time could be wasted. There are major problems in that regard. A six month data retention regime would probably be far more efficient and help law enforcement agencies across the European Union. This Bill...

National Development Plan: Motion (Resumed) (10 Jul 2008)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...the current economic challenges while, in the same breath, defending their low-brow policy making of the past ten years that has led to this situation. Suddenly, the A, B, C of sound fiscal management ignored to date is the order of the day. Value for money in public expenditure should always have been a fundamental element of the State's budget management, but clearly it was not. The...

Public Private Partnerships: Motion. (8 Jul 2008)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...spent by Dublin City Council in preparation for the agreed re-development projects, only one of which McNamara developers intends to proceed with. Dublin City Council did not have €6 million to waste, which is a matter of concern.

Management Companies (Housing Developments): Motion (8 May 2008)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...by Fine Gael. I wish to comment on the Government's proposed amendment to the motion. This is an area which requires legislation. We should be critical of developers, speculators and the private management companies that are ripping off people living in apartment blocks. None of that is reflected in the amendment. I urge Deputies to vote in favour of the Sinn Féin amendment. The...

Planning and Development (Strategic Infrastructure) Bill 2006 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed). (15 Jun 2006)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...maith go leor do gach cheantar i shlí amháin. Tá go leor NIMBYs ann. Tá an ceart ag na NIMBYs sa chás sin. Deirim "not in my backyard and not in my country" ó thaobh incinerators nó thermal waste management de. Tá mé go huile is go hiomlán i gcoinne an Bhille seo. In ionad ár am a chaitheamh ag déileáil lena leithéidí seo, ba chóir go mbeadh infheistíocht níos mó ann...

Order of Business. (23 Jun 2005)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...more serious because of the number of constructive amendments from all sides, including the Minister, that we wish to discuss. We will not reach them. Yesterday and today the Minister said we were wasting time. The parliamentary procedure allows us to go through amendments, some of them vital. Reference was made to a discussion about the legal title of the organisation. If we cannot even...
