- Energy Prices: Motion (3 Feb 2009)
Jimmy Deenihan: I join with previous speakers in acknowledging this motion in the name of Deputy Coveney and compliment him on bringing it forward. It has achieved results already because I am sure it is not a coincidence that because of this motion the Minister has ordered this evening a review of electricity and gas prices. That is good politics and it is good for the Dáil in that we are seen to be...

- Army Barracks. (4 Feb 2009)

[3662/09]
- Army Barracks. (4 Feb 2009)
Jimmy Deenihan: In October the Minister made a promise in this House that if the logistics were not in place the transfer of personnel could be delayed. In the case of Aiken Barracks I understand the facilities in place are not adequate. The Minister is moving 150 personnel into a barracks which is operating at full capacity. Single soldiers are expected to sleep in rooms which are about half the size of a...
- Army Barracks. (4 Feb 2009)
Jimmy Deenihan: I understand the builder on site had difficulties and a new builder had to be appointed, which is not the fault of the Minister. Can the Minister clarify when he thinks the building will be completed? In the meantime, Army personnel are leaving perfect living quarters in Monaghan and the Minister is putting them into accommodation which is totally unacceptable. Can the Minister give us an...
- Marine Accidents. (4 Feb 2009)
Jimmy Deenihan: Question 101: To ask the Minister for Defence if the second survey he commissioned on the possibility of raising the [i]Asgard II[/i] has been concluded; if so, his intentions in regard to the vessel; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3726/09]
- Marine Accidents. (4 Feb 2009)
Jimmy Deenihan: In view of the fact that the Asgard II is a maritime icon, a national flagship and an ambassador for this country, surely there should have been more urgency on the salvaging of the ship. It is now five months since it sank and we have had two surveys. The Minister must have been able to act and make up his mind on whether it was salvageable or not after the first survey. How many surveys...
- Marine Accidents. (4 Feb 2009)
Jimmy Deenihan: Judging by the tone of the Minister's initial response I am afraid the Asgard is doomed to remain at the bottom of the sea. I certainly hope that is not the case, however, if it is intact as the Minister's survey said it was. Can the Minister indicate how much it will cost to salvage the vessel, as well as the cost of a replacement vessel? I think the latter could be in the region of â¬9...

- Military Medical Services. (4 Feb 2009)
Jimmy Deenihan: Question 103: To ask the Minister for Defence if he has satisfied himself with the resources being provided to the medical corps within the Defence Forces in view of the fact that a large number of the sick days being taken by soldiers are due to delays in waiting to attend consultancy appointments and delays in being assessed by medical boards; and if he will make a statement on the matter....
- Military Medical Services. (4 Feb 2009)
Jimmy Deenihan: Will the Minister clarify, if the medical service is adequate and he is satisfied with it, why 135,000 sick days were taken last year by just 20% of Defence Forces personnel? Does the Minister agree this is, in most cases, because of the absence of a proper and well-resourced medical corps for the Defence Forces? A soldier on sick leave may have to wait for weeks, or months in some cases,...
- Military Medical Services. (4 Feb 2009)
Jimmy Deenihan: The figure for sick days is out of line. With regard to sick days, the figures I have show that the average in the public sector is 3.5 whereas in the Army it is 13. The nature of being involved in a military force is different from being involved in the Garda SÃochána or other occupations. The training is very physical, much time is spent outdoors and the people face challenging...
