Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill 2017: Committee Stage (28 Feb 2018)

Robert Troy: In the interests of being helpful I am happy to do so but, basically, the Chairman is just kicking the can down the road. We will want the exact same answers in approximately ten or 15 minutes, or however long it takes to do this.

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill 2017: Committee Stage (28 Feb 2018)

Robert Troy: The amendment is in order because it relates to the alcohol elements of this Bill. It raises the question of whether further amendments that may be introduced at a later stage not specifically related to alcohol will be accepted. Is it "Yes" or "No"? We will need clarification on that and perhaps the Chairman and clerk can get that clarification by the time we get to the specific section.

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill 2017: Committee Stage (28 Feb 2018)

Robert Troy: This has been ongoing for 12 months. The Minister initiated the process in January 2017 and it has taken a long time to come to this stage. My position has not changed and I believe the penalty being introduced by the Minister is disproportionate to the offence. I put it on record that I will bring forward an amendment on Report Stage that would see somebody falling within the 50 mg to 80...

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill 2017: Committee Stage (28 Feb 2018)

Robert Troy: My reference to the figure of 6% was not in the context of the number of lives lost; rather, it was in the context of the percentage of motorists detected in 2016 in the 50 mg to 80 mg category. I am not minimising the loss of life, as I am sure the Minister will acknowledge. I accept his bona fides, but why, if automatic disqualification is seen as a deterrent, are 94% of-----

Other Questions: Local Infrastructure Housing Activation Fund (27 Feb 2018)

Robert Troy: The Minister is aware of the introduction of the local infrastructure housing activation fund as part of Rebuilding Ireland and that €50 million was originally allocated in that regard. When will the balance of the fund be announced? Will local authorities that made an application to the original fund have to reapply or will such applications be judged based on the previous submission?

Other Questions: Local Infrastructure Housing Activation Fund (27 Feb 2018)

Robert Troy: When the original announcement was made, the total funding was €200 million. The Minister can correct me if I am wrong, but a sum of €50 million was announced as part of phase 1. He has stated a further €50 million is being announced as part of phase 2. By my calculation, €50 million plus €50 million equals €100 million, which falls short of the...

Other Questions: Local Infrastructure Housing Activation Fund (27 Feb 2018)

Robert Troy: The scheme will open for applications in March. What will be the turnaround time once applications are submitted? I understand the Ardmore Road scheme scored quite highly but that there was insufficient funding and a decision had to be made based on what was available. However, officials advised that the project might be successful in phase 2. What will be the turnaround time once...
