Proposed Legislation (8 May 2012)

Dara Calleary: Since we last had Question Time the incident with regard to the transfer of the killer of Garda Gary McLoughlin occurred and I compliment the Minister on how he responded to it very quickly and commissioned a report.

Garda Deployment (8 May 2012)

Dara Calleary: I thank the Minister. If I may raise an issue for the Leas-Cheann Comhairle and the Ceann Comhairle, given the manner in which replies are given in this format, I note Members do not have access to the aforementioned table.

Prisoner Releases (8 May 2012)

Liquor Licensing Laws (8 May 2012)

Dara Calleary: I commend Mr. White on the detailed report he has produced for RRAI. I agree with the Minister regarding section 9 of the 2008 Act and its impact on small and medium enterprises. However, certain companies can afford the changes required under the section and these companies are probably the cause of problems in this area. Has consideration been given to the segregation of section 9...

Liquor Licensing Laws (8 May 2012)

Dara Calleary: Is there any timeframe on the considerations? We are approaching the summer and also a sporting event which tends to inspire many of the so-called offers to which the Minister referred. Will those proposals be in place for that event? I hardly think so.
