Seanad: Order of Business (20 May 2008)

Dan Boyle: I support the call for debate on the housing issue, but I am sure it cannot take place today. We cannot expect an instant response in terms of having an available Minister. The memorandum in terms of responsibility between Cabinet Members and Ministers of State has not yet been fully drawn up. There still could be uncertainty over who has full responsibility and would be best to come into...

Seanad: Order of Business (20 May 2008)

Dan Boyle: I share the concern on some of the reasons cited. We must be clear that a funding mechanism for the projects has collapsed and there is an onus on the local authority concerned and the appropriate Department to ensure a proper, appropriate funding mechanism is put in place. The communities identified are in need of housing and these projects should be completed as soon as possible. We...

Seanad: Tragedy in Burma: Statements (20 May 2008)

Dan Boyle: I welcome the Minister of State to the House and congratulate him on his appointment. I am sure responding to issues like this will be grist to his mill however unpalatable are the events that lie behind it. Scientifically, the reasons violent weather events occur are fairly well known to us though philosophically and theologically probably less so. There is no easy, political answer as to...

Seanad: Order of Business (21 May 2008)

In regard to Transport 21, I can affirm that it is within the provision of the programme for Government, and every element of the Transport 21 programme will be attempted to be achieved——

Seanad: Order of Business (21 May 2008)

Dan Boyle: ——within the lifetime of this Government or of the plan itself. From my party's viewpoint, we would like elements of Transport 21 to be rejudged in terms of which projects should be given priority. That was the nature of yesterday's exercise. On the Senator's second question about the imposition of a congestion charge, a question was raised on this matter by a journalist having regard...

Seanad: WTO Negotiations: Statements (Resumed) (21 May 2008)

Dan Boyle: I am glad we are putting context into the debate because we are discussing the WTO talks known as the development round, which were started in Doha. The explicit purpose of these negotiations is to deal with the needs of the developing world and how trade can be used as an instrument to improve the lot of two thirds of the world's population living in subsistence. It is curious we are...

Seanad: Transport 21: Motion (21 May 2008)

Dan Boyle: In the 1940s, writing in his Cruiskeen Lawn column in The Irish Times, Brian O'Nolan, probably writing as Myles na gCopaleen or one of the other vast array of characters he used, talked about road development. He was writing satirically at a time when the tram services had stopped in all the Irish cities and rail lines were being ripped up left, right and centre. His argument was that one...
