- Roads Funding: Motion [Private Members] (1 Feb 2017)
Robert Troy: I wish to share time with five colleagues. For fear that the Minister would think it was only the Independents or the Rural Independent Group who look after rural Ireland, I note that could not be further from the truth. That was evident in the last general election which saw our party double in size, particularly in rural areas where it has a strong tradition of looking after the interests...

Robert Troy: It is not something Deputy McGrath can claim.
- Roads Funding: Motion [Private Members] (1 Feb 2017)
Robert Troy: To get back to the motion, the Minister thanked my colleagues to my left for coming and discussing it with him last week. Perhaps that is the reason it took him until Monday to contact me and establish whether something could be agreed with regard to Bus Éireann, an issue that is just as important as rural roads. I am glad to see the Minister had his priorities right last week.
- Roads Funding: Motion [Private Members] (1 Feb 2017)
Robert Troy: I am just making the point that the Minister could have contacted me in relation to Bus Éireann. There has been a critical underinvestment in the maintenance of regional and local roads since 2012. The funding allocation for 2017 is still far below the level required to maintain regional and local roads across the country. Over the past four years, spending on roads in each county...

Robert Troy: I will get straight to the point. I congratulate all the people who represented our country in the past 12 months. It is a great honour and privilege for them to represent the Tricolour and it was a great honour and privilege for us to watch them in their various sporting fields. On the Olympic Council of Ireland, OCI, months after the Rio debacle, what reports does the Minister have on...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Sport in Ireland - Challenges, Strategies and Governance: Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport (1 Feb 2017)
Robert Troy: If I might ask another question, with regard to governance within the Department, what orders have been made relating to delegated functions for the Minister of State? What exactly is the job of Minister of State in terms of specific responsibilities? What delegated powers does he have? I ask the question in terms of the sports capital programme. I welcome the clarity that has been...
