Legislative Programme (7 Feb 2012)

Dara Calleary: I compliment the Minister on the initiative of placing the heads of Bills before committees which will make the legislative process a lot easier. Would he consider also giving the Bill to the Joint Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform and perhaps the Joint Committee on Jobs, Social Protection and Education to get their input? We would probably have a finer process at that stage.

Garda Stations (7 Feb 2012)

Dara Calleary: Does the Minister take independent advice apart from that given by the Garda Commissioner when he recommends station closures?

Garda Stations (7 Feb 2012)

Dara Calleary: The Minister does not get it. He does not understand this is not just a security issue. He is living in Dublin. Any Dublin Deputy will not understand that more than security is at stake. In a village to which 50,000 people are brought every year there may be a greater need for security, although we hope not. Extra information is available with which the Minister should be provided by the...

The experience of travelling to the US now is much enhanced over the experience that obtained prior to our participation in the programme....

International Co-operation: Motion (7 Feb 2012)

Dara Calleary: Fianna Fáil will support this motion. While serving as Minister for Defence, both Deputy O'Dea and former Deputy Killeen invested much of their time in this initiative. I am sure Members will join me in extending sympathies to Deputy O'Dea on the death of his mother. The most intensive discussion during the relevant meeting of the Select Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality was on...

Competition (Amendment) Bill 2011: Report Stage (8 Feb 2012)

Dara Calleary: I thank the Minister of State for his response but it encapsulates the entire difficulty with the Bill and the approach being taken. For as long as we treat breaches of competition law in a different way to a purely criminal offence and take a slightly benign attitude to breaches of competition law we will just sail along. Deputies Tóibín and Flanagan have outlined the consequences. We...
