Seanad: Urban Regeneration and Housing Bill 2015: Committee and Remaining Stages (17 Jul 2015)

David Cullinane: I move amendment No. 22: In page 19, to delete lines 33 to 35.This amendment proposes the removal from the Bill of the change that the Minister of State is seeking to make to reduce the social and affordable housing requirement to 10%. Perhaps I will speak in more detail on this matter when we reach the next amendment, which seeks to deal in their totality with the changes that are being...

Seanad: Urban Regeneration and Housing Bill 2015: Committee and Remaining Stages (17 Jul 2015)

David Cullinane: We seek to remove this section which allows leasing agreements to be used in place of the provision of social housing under Part V, which we have discussed already. I will not hold up the Minister of State or the House because we are getting to the end of this debate. However, one of the points I meant to make earlier, and I will make it very briefly now, is that I held a public meeting on...

Seanad: Commencement Matters: University Status Applications (16 Jul 2015)

David Cullinane: I welcome the Minister of State to the House. He will be aware that parts of the Kelly report, which has not been published but has been furnished to the Minister for Education and Skills and brought to the Cabinet, on a technological university for the south east were leaked last week. The belief was that the report was going to be discussed by the Cabinet, but I do not know whether that...

David Cullinane: I hope so.

Seanad: Commencement Matters: University Status Applications (16 Jul 2015)

David Cullinane: I welcome the Minister's response. I strongly believe that this is an issue on which nobody should play party politics. It is extremely important for the people of Waterford and the south east. I accept that Minister must meet both institutes before the report is published, but perhaps the Minister of State could convey to her that she might arrange a briefing as quickly as possible for...

Seanad: Environment (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2014: Committee Stage (16 Jul 2015)

David Cullinane: I apologise for not being in the House earlier. I was attending the Government's stage managed event in Dublin Castle. I am responding to the Minister of State's response to the previous contributions. With respect, I do not think that this can be seen by either Irish Water or the Government as a good start. She is trying to make comparisons with previous utilities set up where previous...

Seanad: Environment (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2014: Committee Stage (16 Jul 2015)

David Cullinane: That is marvellous, but at the end of the day there are another 25 counties in the country. Fine Gael is banking on the fact that people in rural Ireland have been paying water charges for years and they will not penalise the Government for introducing water charges. The Cathaoirleach is getting a bit anxious.

Seanad: Order of Business (15 Jul 2015)

David Cullinane: I support the call from Senator Ó Murchú for a debate on the Ballymurphy massacre. More importantly, the Irish Government should show real support and put pressure on the British Government to accede to what is a legitimate call for an independent panel of inquiry to be set up. I support everything Senator Ó Murchú said. I also want to refer to the fiasco that is Irish...
