Has the Minister read the report? What are his...

Questions on Promised Legislation (19 Jan 2017)

Robert Troy: I understand the Taoiseach will visit Ballymahon on Monday to launch the rural renewal programme. His visit will take place one week after an arm of the State issued letters to many businesses in Longford-Westmeath about rates revaluations. Yesterday, when I asked the Taoiseach when the heads of the Bill to deal with the revaluation of business rates would be published, he indicated that it...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committee Meetings (18 Jan 2017)

Robert Troy: In regard to Deputy Burton's statement that the demand to attend the health sub-committee a number of years ago was so high they could have sold tickets for it, the Labour Party was in a position to do something about that but it did nothing.

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committee Meetings (18 Jan 2017)

Robert Troy: In recent years, the Cabinet sub-committee on health has played a damaging role in the health service. It has been confirmed many times that it is a forum through which members of Government have interfered with the HSE's annual plans in order to cover up pressures. What they have done is over-promise and under-deliver, evidence of which we saw in December last. On many occasions my...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Brexit Issues (18 Jan 2017)

Robert Troy: This is the first question that my party leader tabled before Christmas.

The evidence is that the UK Government has decided that there will be a customs border on this...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Sport in Ireland; Challenges, Strategies and Governance: FAI, GAA and IRFU (18 Jan 2017)

Robert Troy: I welcome the witnesses. This committee agreed before Christmas to invite them in. The main issue at that time was the lack of consultation before the Minister of State at the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport, Deputy O'Donovan, made his announcement on gender quotas and governance in the various sporting organisations. Since then, the organisations have had consultations with the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Sport in Ireland; Challenges, Strategies and Governance: FAI, GAA and IRFU (18 Jan 2017)

Robert Troy: It is good to get an opportunity to speak again. I would be far more aligned to the GAA than I would be to rugby, but not nearly as much as my two colleagues on the right, Senator O'Mahony and Deputy Fitzpatrick, based on their inter-county successes over many years. They have played a very meaningful and positive role in the GAA. I want to focus on the gender quotas in both...
