- Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Committee Stage (16 Jan 2019)
Ruth Coppinger: It is a pity nurses are not recruited as quickly as the Minister has moved with this. It is ridiculous that we have not even agreed what the competent authority is and the Minister has already moved on the recruitment for same.

- Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Committee Stage (16 Jan 2019)
Ruth Coppinger: Finishing up on the issue of where we all stand, my impression before Christmas was that all parties barring Fine Gael were putting it to the Minister that Fingal County Council was not appropriate, that it was important to have complete independence, and that we had to be honest with residents. That does not now seem to be the case because if Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael vote for the Bill...

Ruth Coppinger: It can be resubmitted. I have other business and must leave. Is it possible that we can formally move some of the motions?
- Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Committee Stage (16 Jan 2019)

- Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Committee Stage (16 Jan 2019)
Ruth Coppinger: I understood that we could discuss the amendments together but I do not mind if people want to discuss them separately. We are just moving and withdrawing the amendments to re-enter them on Report Stage.
- Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Committee Stage (16 Jan 2019)

- Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Committee Stage (16 Jan 2019)
Ruth Coppinger: I am not going to labour the point because we have made all of the points that need to be made about health and noise. I do not imagine the Minister is seriously suggesting we would be kicked out of the European Union if we were to add this provision. Is he? The idea that we must keep something that is 17 years old and cannot update it when we are bringing forward new legislation is farcical.
- Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Committee Stage (16 Jan 2019)
Ruth Coppinger: The whole issue of health and noise is important. It sounds farcical to say we cannot add or strengthen EU regulations. This can be dealt with in several ways by the proposer. We cannot actually write in the regulation but we could list all the things in the regulation on Report Stage if we wanted to. There would be nothing to stop us doing that. It is ridiculous. Perhaps that could be...

Ruth Coppinger: And rightly so.
- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (15 Jan 2019)
Ruth Coppinger: Faced with historic industrial action by nurses, midwives and psychiatric nurses, is it not time to repeal the Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest Act and acknowledge that, when rents are increasing by 15% per annum, when there are record corporation tax receipts and when we are in economic recovery, it is the Taoiseach's ideological opposition to workers of all kinds,...
- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (15 Jan 2019)
Ruth Coppinger: The whole Dáil is allowed to say something about the business as well.
- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (15 Jan 2019)
Ruth Coppinger: I ask that the Business Committee consider scheduling time this week or next week for a report from the Minister for Health on how new abortion services are working. The reason is that it is historic legislation but three problems are emerging, including the safety of staff and women attending their own general practitioner, GP, provision-----
