Financial Resolution No. 5: Excise (5 Dec 2012)

Dessie Ellis: It is very disappointing to see increases in VRT, motor tax and the trade licence plates. Not only will this affect ordinary citizens, it will affect the motor industry. We talked about giving a fuel rebate to the haulage industry, which is welcome, but we are obliterating it through these increases. The Taoiseach said his main reason for basing this on lower emissions was the loss of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Ireland West Airport Knock: Discussion (5 Dec 2012)

Dessie Ellis: I thank Mr. Scollan and Mr. Gilmore for their presentation. I do not wish to get into an argument about Shannon and Knock airports because both provide a great service to their respective areas. I was interested to learn that for an airport to be sustainable it needed to handle approximately 1.5 million passengers. Knock's passenger numbers are currently 700,000 and are moving towards the...

Other Questions: Housing Regeneration (4 Dec 2012)

Dessie Ellis: There has been funding put forward in the regeneration for Knocknaheeney and the Glen, but the rest of the regeneration is important. Although it has not been mentioned in the past in terms of funding, I hope further regeneration in the Cork area will be looked at, that there will be a clear timetable in terms of how that is laid out and, according to the plan the Minister of State...

Other Questions: Building Regulations (4 Dec 2012)

Dessie Ellis: In recent years log cabins have been built in tourism areas, such as by lakes. Local authorities seem to be very lax in checking them. Are measures in place to check the Scandinavian-style log cabins being built in scenic areas? Some people are saying they are sub-standard and not made of the right type of wood and not very good in terms of fire and safety. Perhaps they have fallen...

Other Questions: Pyrite Issues (4 Dec 2012)

Dessie Ellis: It is important we find a resolution to this. There have been numerous promises made and I have attended many meetings on this. Are all of the companies engaging? There were suggestions some of them were not engaging and if that is the case, we were promised a solution would be imposed. While we are talking about houses, there are also paths, roads and boundaries that have been affected...

Local authority housing has the same problem. While there is a mechanism to get money from the Department for such housing, would it not make sense to include local authority housing in this...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Pyrite Remediation Programme (4 Dec 2012)

He stated previously that he was considering making requests for funding remediation measures in the houses in question. The...
