Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Air Accident Investigations (6 Feb 2014)

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: This question brings us back to the very unfortunate events of October 2009 when two members of the Air Corps lost their lives and to the saga that has continued since regarding the death of Cadet David Jevens. I acknowledge that the Minister is due to meet the Jevens family again, with senior members of the Air Corps, with a view to trying to resolve the matter. However, there are some...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Air Accident Investigations (6 Feb 2014)

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: I thank the Minister for again saying, as he has said explicitly in the past, that not one scintilla of blame for this accident can be attached to Cadet Jevens. The difficulty for the family who have dedicated themselves since his death to this issue is twofold. First, they strongly contend the evidence adduced since his death indicates in their mind that there was not at play within the...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Air Accident Investigations (6 Feb 2014)

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: We have a common purpose in this regard. We want to work with the family to bring them to the point at which they can have closure on this.

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Homeless Accommodation Provision (6 Feb 2014)

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: It is fortuitous that this question is being raised in the aftermath of the point made by Deputy Clare Daly. My question focuses on the relatively small cohort of people who have had great difficulty in making the transition from being members of the Defence Forces to being civilians. The problem for some is a difficulty in securing housing accommodation. Currently there are three hostels...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Homeless Accommodation Provision (6 Feb 2014)

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: The Minister cannot come in here and absolve himself entirely of responsibility for those people who leave the Defence Forces and who will have been institutionalised in some respects with the result that they become homeless. The Minister says his predecessors did likewise. I say they were wrong to approach the issue in that way and I say that the Minister is wrong now and that he has a...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Homeless Accommodation Provision (6 Feb 2014)

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: The Minister is wrong again. In County Kildare, for example, when my party was in government and when we had the control of the local authority, we operated a policy whereby 10% of the local authority houses delivered in the Newbridge and Kildare area were retained for people who were classified by the Department of Defence as over-holders. I have been directly involved with the local...
