Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance and Funding of Football Association of Ireland: Discussion (16 Apr 2019)

Imelda Munster: I meant the committee. If its members are not interested in regulating, we should not go down the road of allowing Sport Ireland to come up with ideas for legislation and empowerment from a corporate governance point of view. As a committee, we should take charge. It is clear the Minister has not displayed any intention to correct the situation.

Public Transport: Motion [Private Members] (17 Apr 2019)

Imelda Munster: I welcome the opportunity to speak on this motion. I welcome all efforts to keep public transport on the political agenda. It is certainly not prioritised by this Government or by the Minister. A good public transport service is a cornerstone of most modern states and cities. Ireland and our cities are way behind in this regard. Our public transport systems are not up to standard and do...

Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: From the Seanad (18 Apr 2019)

Imelda Munster: Seanad amendments Nos. 1 and 2 seek to reverse two amendments of mine which were agreed by this House on Report Stage. On Tuesday night, the Minister saw fit to have my amendments, and several other amendments, removed in the Seanad. The Government showed a total disregard for the democratic process by refusing to allow time for a proper debate. Instead, it pushed its own amendments...

Housing (Adaptation Grant for People with a Disability) Bill 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (29 May 2019)

Imelda Munster: The Bill calls for standardisation, ease of access and time limits in respect of applications for housing adaptation grants and I support that call. However, if the matter of insufficient funding for the volume of applications in the system is not addressed, speeding up grants will be illusory. I refer to my experience with Louth County Council where there are 460 outstanding grant...
