Other Questions: Army Barracks (15 Feb 2017)

Robert Troy: It is often somewhat dangerous to speak about a topic one is not 100% au faitwith. I can assure Deputy Ó Snodaigh that Fianna Fáil did not vote down any proposal at the council meeting on funding of €20,000.

Other Questions: Army Barracks (15 Feb 2017)

Robert Troy: I accept that there is need for a timeline on this issue such that it can be brought to a conclusion. I want to see a conclusion which ensures the facility remains in State ownership for the benefit of the community. However, as I said, I accept there is need for a timeline to ensure everyone's mind is focused. What timeline does the Minister of State envisage being provided to allow for a...

Other Questions: Army Barracks (15 Feb 2017)

Robert Troy: It is almost five years since Columb Barracks, Mullingar, closed its doors following the decision by the previous Fine Gael-Labour Party Government to close the barracks. What action has the Department taken in the intervening five years to try to secure a new tenant for the barracks? Specifically, has the Minister of State or his officials engaged with the Department of Education and...

Other Questions: Army Barracks (15 Feb 2017)

Robert Troy: The Minister of State appeared to be expressing criticism of the community group for not producing a feasibility plan. To be fair to the organisation in question, it has exhausted many avenues and contacted various Departments to secure funding to carry out a feasibility study. However, funding has not been forthcoming. The chief executive and board of the Longford and Westmeath...

Other Questions: Army Barracks (15 Feb 2017)

Robert Troy: On a point of clarification, I understand additional time is provided when questions are grouped.

Other Questions: Army Barracks (15 Feb 2017)

Robert Troy: While I accept the Minister of State's bona fides and his statement that he is trying to help, unfortunately it does not ring true on the ground. I organised the meeting to which he referred and the departmental official was made welcome. The Department is paying for security at the former barracks. Perhaps the Minister of State will consider diverting some of the funding for security to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Bus Éireann: Discussion (15 Feb 2017)

Robert Troy: I proposed the motion in the Dáil a couple of weeks ago and got cross-party support for it. I agree with the sentiments on how the NTA issues licences, and on increased subventions and increased funding from the Department of Social Protection. I welcome the fact that the unions are going to the WRC this evening and the last thing they or their members want to is be out on strike and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Bus Éireann: Discussion (15 Feb 2017)

Robert Troy: I accept what Mr. Ennis is saying but I am asking if, were it to be introduced, it would make Bus Éireann competitive with the private sector?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Bus Éireann: Discussion (15 Feb 2017)

Robert Troy: The motion I brought forward in the Dáil acknowledged this fact in the context of licensing but I am talking exclusively about pay.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Bus Éireann: Discussion (15 Feb 2017)

Robert Troy: I will play devil's advocate. Management will say that some of the proposals it put to the unions and staff are the implementation of pre-existing agreements made with the various unions. They say that these have been implemented at certain depots and not at others.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Bus Éireann: Discussion (15 Feb 2017)

Robert Troy: I am not saying this is right because I do not know what was agreed under previous agreements, but the witnesses' contention is that what the management is saying is totally and utterly inaccurate.
