Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill 2005: Second Stage (Resumed). (9 Mar 2005)

Arthur Morgan: I do not know what connections Deputy McHugh has with speculators, I will let him answer that.

The developer deposited a bond of €38,000 with the local authority yet conservative estimates suggest that it will cost in...

Fur Farming (Prohibition) Bill 2004: Second Stage (Resumed). (23 Mar 2005)

Arthur Morgan: I query some of the statistics referred to by the Minister of State, Deputy Browne. He claimed that 80 people are employed full-time by fur farms with a further 85 seasonal workers. I am curious as to the source of those figures which do not appear to be accurate. I say that in the gentlest way possible. The most recent figure for the value of fur exports from the CSO was €1.6 million. If...

Fur Farming (Prohibition) Bill 2004: Second Stage (Resumed). (23 Mar 2005)

Arthur Morgan: I will come back to that at the end if I have time. Let us look briefly at the economics of this issue. On the basis of export value, a single animal pelt is sold for €14.

There is not much scope...

Fur Farming (Prohibition) Bill 2004: Second Stage (Resumed). (23 Mar 2005)

That will not stop me and my colleagues from having our say on...

Constitutional Referenda. (12 Apr 2005)
