Business of Dáil (15 Dec 2016)

Micheál Martin: I proposed an adjournment to see if there can be a basis on which to do both the Road Traffic Bill 2016 – I have no objection to that – but also-----

Business of Dáil (15 Dec 2016)

Micheál Martin: I want to seek the Leas-Cheann Comhairle’s guidance. I have no objection to finishing the Road Traffic Bill 2016 but I equally believe we should finish the planning Bill and we are open to discussions on how to engage in it.

Micheál Martin: First, I want to make it clear that we want to be constructive and engage on the critical issue of the Planning and Development (Housing) and Residential Tenancies Bill 2016 in terms of rent certainty and so on.

Pre-European Council: Statements (14 Dec 2016)

Micheál Martin: Let us all note that today there are prisoners in Russian jails whose only crime was to fly a Ukrainian flag. The Tarter minority organisations and media have been systematically repressed. There are no political or media freedoms in Crimea. The separate identity of the region is being destroyed. There can be no normalisation or lifting of sanctions while Russia maintains this aggression...

Pre-European Council: Statements (14 Dec 2016)

Micheál Martin: This week's summit has a wide agenda but few substantive decisions to consider. It is more a summit about reflecting on problems than tackling them. Part of this is inevitable because of the state of uncertainty which the European Union will be in until there is some idea about what future relations with the United Kingdom will look like. Beyond this important fact, there is unfortunately...

Ceisteanna - Questions: EU Meetings (14 Dec 2016)

Micheál Martin: The impact of the Setanta Insurance Company affair was very severe on many people. It highlighted significant gaps and loopholes in monitoring, compliance, etc. It would seem strange if it were not raised during the meeting or if, in preparation for the meeting, the issue were not identified as one that would merit discussion between the Taoiseach and the Prime Minister. The Taoiseach...
