Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Statements (18 Sep 2019)

Imelda Munster: As representatives of Border areas, my colleague, Deputy Ó Caoláin, and I are acutely aware of the damage that will be caused by a no-deal Brexit. Last year, the Department of Finance published a report which stated that any form of Brexit is likely to cause a structural change in the Irish economy. As such, any response needs to be structural in nature and cannot merely be about...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: N52 Ardee Bypass: Discussion (18 Sep 2019)

Imelda Munster: I thank the delegates for providing clarification. We all had a stomach turning moment when we heard that the project had been put on hold, pending a review, given that it is almost 20 years in planning, give or take, given the work that has gone into it and, above all else, the serious need for it. To say the congestion is worsening in Ardee is an understatement, but there is a still a...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Sep 2019)

Imelda Munster: The list of 78 primary care centres caught my eye. That list includes 14 health centres that are public private partnerships, PPPs.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Sep 2019)

Imelda Munster: It is the chart that was furnished.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Sep 2019)

Imelda Munster: Of the list of 78 primary care centres, 14 are PPPs. It caught my eye for the simple reason that I understood that PPPs were used when there was a risk associated with a building or the running of a particular project. I do not understand what risk is involved in building a health centre, unless we are saying that people will stop getting sick, will not need public health nurses anymore,...

Public Accounts Committee: Bord na gCon Financial Statement 2017 (19 Sep 2019)

Imelda Munster: Bord na gCon's accounts have shown a steady decline in the past seven or eight years. Its turnover has fallen and the State subvention is rising to fill the gap. There is a drop in attendance. Some sponsorship has been withdrawn from Bord na gCon. Greyhound racing is on the decline internationally. I believe there are only eight other countries where it is legal. It clearly would not be...

Public Accounts Committee: Bord na gCon Financial Statement 2017 (19 Sep 2019)

Imelda Munster: Given the exposé in the RTÉ "Prime Time Investigates" report, people would question an industry that allows such cruelty to animals. I am not suggesting Bord na gCon allowed it but whether Bord na gCon was aware it was taking place. If the board was not aware it was taking place, that raises even more questions. Certainly, people saw that Bord na gCon took no action to prevent it...

Public Accounts Committee: Bord na gCon Financial Statement 2017 (19 Sep 2019)

Imelda Munster: There was a comment by a vet on the RTÉ "Prime Time Investigates" programme that drugging dogs is rampant and sophisticated. According to the documentary, other drugs are given to dogs to cover up the drugs they are given to run faster. While this was not reflected in the data in Bord na gCon's annual report, would Mr. Dollard give an outline of the methodology that is used to test the...
