Catherine Connolly: He did not check the minutes to note that they were-----
- Public Accounts Committee: Policy on the Retention of Contemporaneous Notes in the Preparation of Board Minutes: National Asset Management Agency (14 Dec 2016)
Catherine Connolly: That is fine. If he was gone, I presume that he did not, but maybe NAMA allowed it out of courtesy.
- Public Accounts Committee: Policy on the Retention of Contemporaneous Notes in the Preparation of Board Minutes: National Asset Management Agency (14 Dec 2016)
Catherine Connolly: I did not understand the answer as to how Mr. Daly justified it.
- Public Accounts Committee: Policy on the Retention of Contemporaneous Notes in the Preparation of Board Minutes: National Asset Management Agency (14 Dec 2016)
Catherine Connolly: I understand the point he is making, I just did not hear Mr. Daly's answer.
- Public Accounts Committee: Policy on the Retention of Contemporaneous Notes in the Preparation of Board Minutes: National Asset Management Agency (14 Dec 2016)
Catherine Connolly: What was Mr. Daly's answer if no decision was made and it refers to "as agreed"?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Ferry Services to Inis Mór: Discussion (14 Dec 2016)
Catherine Connolly: Níl mé i mo bhall den choiste seo. Tháinig mé anseo chun éisteacht. Tá an scéal ar eolas agam. Ba mhaith liom rud ginearálta a rá bunaithe ar mo thaithí ón am gur toghadh mé deich mí ó shin. Tá mé cinnte go bhfuil easpa tuiscine agus easpa tola ón gcomhairle chontae agus ón Rialtas maidir leis an...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Ferry Services to Inis Mór: Discussion (14 Dec 2016)
Catherine Connolly: I think there has been a misunderstanding in relation to the High Court judgment. It is obvious that county councils are entitled to have by-laws. We need to ask why the by-laws were introduced in the first place. They should not have been introduced. The effect of the by-laws was to divide the islanders from the rest of the county. We can keep saying the county council was right -...
- Business of Dáil (15 Dec 2016)
Catherine Connolly: The Leas-Cheann Comhairle talks about the principle but what I see here is a great absence of principle. The leader of Fianna Fáil stated that he does not agree that it should go away today, yet, if agreement had been reached last night, we would not be having this debate - or what stands for a debate - from Fianna Fáil. There is certainly Tadhg an Dá Thaobh i gceist anseo...
- Questions on Proposed Legislation (15 Dec 2016)
Catherine Connolly: I understand the Minister for Education and Skills promised the review of the DEIS programme would be published before Christmas. Foolishly, I thought it was this Christmas. Will the Minister for Education and Skills confirm that I have not been foolish and it will be published before Christmas? If so, when? Happy Christmas too to all.

- Planning and Development (Housing) and Residential Tenancies Bill 2016: Report Stage (15 Dec 2016)
Catherine Connolly: Yes.
- Planning and Development (Housing) and Residential Tenancies Bill 2016: Report Stage (15 Dec 2016)
Catherine Connolly: Yes.
- Planning and Development (Housing) and Residential Tenancies Bill 2016: Report Stage (15 Dec 2016)
Catherine Connolly: Briefly, there is a way out of this and the vacuum that has been created. The Minister could accept the relevant amendment and use the Consumer Price Index, CPI. That would remove any difficulty, now that he is in this mess. I do not know if the Minister knows the German-Czech writer Franz Kafka but he should read his work. In fact, his writing would be more easy to interpret than the...
- Planning and Development (Housing) and Residential Tenancies Bill 2016: Report Stage (15 Dec 2016)
Catherine Connolly: Yes, that would be even easier.
- Planning and Development (Housing) and Residential Tenancies Bill 2016 [Seanad]: Report Stage (Resumed) (16 Dec 2016)
Catherine Connolly: Bhí a fhios agam riamh go bhfuil difríocht mhór idir Béarla agus Gaeilge ach níor thuig mé riamh go dtí seo an difríocht idir Béarla an Rialtais agus a chomhghleacaithe i bhFianna Fáil agus muidne ar an taobh seo agus, níos tábhachtaí fós, muintir na tíre. Tá difríocht mhór ann maidir le teanga agus...
- Planning and Development (Housing) and Residential Tenancies Bill 2016 [Seanad]: Report Stage (Resumed) (16 Dec 2016)
Catherine Connolly: I will come back to Galway.
- Planning and Development (Housing) and Residential Tenancies Bill 2016 [Seanad]: Report Stage (Resumed) (16 Dec 2016)
Catherine Connolly: The Minister has done a strategy on two areas. His partners in government are taking credit for forcing the Minister to look at other areas. It seems to me he is not looking at the problem properly at all. He is doing it piecemeal. It is a strategy for landlords. It is a strategy to increase rents. If he is seriously interested in housing, he would have looked at the evidence and done...
- Planning and Development (Housing) and Residential Tenancies Bill 2016 [Seanad]: Report Stage (Resumed) (16 Dec 2016)
Catherine Connolly: The Minister has not. On the last occasion, he confirmed to the Dáil that he was doing an audit of all the local authorities in the country.
- Planning and Development (Housing) and Residential Tenancies Bill 2016 [Seanad]: Report Stage (Resumed) (16 Dec 2016)
Catherine Connolly: My experience is that we have bought hectares of zoned residential land. The Minister cannot tell me how many planning permissions. He cannot come back and say what the problems are and resolve those problems. Instead of that, as part of this amendment, as well as building in 4% and 4% and 4%, which is 12% over three years, in these rent pressure zones, which presumably will include...
- Planning and Development (Housing) and Residential Tenancies Bill 2016 [Seanad]: Report Stage (Resumed) (16 Dec 2016)
