Intoxicating Liquor Bill 2008: Second Stage (Resumed) (1 Jul 2008)

David Stanton: I welcome this Bill as an attempt to impact on a national cultural issue which is causing severe damage across our society. However, I would prefer it to be made part a coherent Government policy across a range of Departments. It is a start in that it restricts off-sale times, requires wine licences to be granted by the District Court, provides for structural separations, CCTV, fire and...

Intoxicating Liquor Bill 2008: Second Stage (Resumed) (1 Jul 2008)

David Stanton: I spoke earlier about two issues: under age drinking and the abuse of alcohol by people over 18 years of age. The alcohol advisory group has proposed many recommendations. It asks for an overall government policy, which I support. Perhaps during the summer the Government and all Departments might produce such a policy before the next legislation is presented. I encourage the imposition of...

David Stanton: No.

Hazardous Waste: Statements (2 Jul 2008)

David Stanton: Deputy Coveney is right to say that this is a public health issue. We have had much correspondence from people in the Cobh area who are concerned about public health. Is the Minister aware of the National Cancer Registry report which indicates that when rates for the Cobh urban area were compared to Ireland at large, the incidence of cancer in Cobh was 44% higher than what might have been...

Hazardous Waste: Statements (2 Jul 2008)

David Stanton: It was. Will the Minister also give assurances regarding the position of the Irish Naval Service on Haulbowline Island? Naval personnel are living and working there. A member of the service rang me yesterday to tell me that when the recent work started, the high levels of dust on the base were frightening in the mornings when they entered it. In his response the Minister said he was...

Hazardous Waste: Statements (2 Jul 2008)

David Stanton: Has the Minister any comment to make about the level of cancer in Cobh which I mentioned earlier and would he organise a baseline health study of the harbour region? Has he any comment to make on the safety of the Naval Service personnel, who are physically on top of this site? Are they safe? Could he give us an indication about the leachate into the harbour and into the bay? What is his...

Fishing Industry: Motion (Resumed) (2 Jul 2008)

David Stanton: I commend Deputy Creed on the introduction of this important motion, as recognised by a number of Deputies. There is agreement across the House that this is an important industry that is under severe pressure. I wish to talk about illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, commonly referred to as IUU fishing. I note the proposal for a Council regulation establishing a Community system to...

Fishing Industry: Motion (Resumed) (2 Jul 2008)

David Stanton: Other countries across the EU may be allowed to extend state aid and it would be very wrong and unfair if Irish fishermen were discommoded by not receiving such aid. The Minister should put his response on the record tonight. A fisherman told me this evening that some of the larger boats here can catch between €3,000 and €4,000 worth of cod throughout the week, which they must dump....
