Vote 39 - Health Service Executive (27 Nov 2013) John Deasy: To be honest, that has not been done very well. Our job is to deal with the policy aspects of this. I am trying to figure out if there are policy issues surrounding this that have not been dealt with.

- Companies (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2013 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed) (28 Nov 2013)
John Deasy: This Bill performs several functions which seek to facilitate companies in various ways in line with existing legislation. It is essentially technical legislation which attempts to stay abreast of changes in the commercial world in which we are operating. The Department must do what it can to assist struggling companies in what for many of them - not least in my own constituency - is a...
- Written Answers — Department of Environment, Community and Local Government: Planning Issues (3 Dec 2013)
John Deasy: 272. To ask the Minister for Environment, Community and Local Government if attic or internal conversion was intended to be included in the development contributions attached to planning permissions; if this is being implemented by each local authority; his views that it is fair to implement such a charge where the work being carried out is internal only; and if he will make a statement on...
- Written Answers — Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Fish Quotas (5 Dec 2013)
John Deasy: 205. To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if he will consider allowing an increase in the quota allocated to smaller vessels less than 20 m in the sentinel Celtic Sea herring fishery in the weeks prior to Christmas; if he is satisfied the 2011-12 review resulted in an equitable distribution of Celtic Sea herring quota in view of the influx of vessels into the country's...
- Local Government Reform Bill 2013: Report Stage (11 Dec 2013)
John Deasy: The amendments Deputy Dowds and I tabled were ruled out of order, as they would potentially be a charge on the State. We knew that could happen. They deal with the funding of local government and changes to the collection of rates, in particular. We are not too upset about that because the Minister and his officials have to a great extent worked with us to deal with those amendments in...
- Local Government Reform Bill 2013: Report Stage (11 Dec 2013)
John Deasy: I understand that. Could the Leas-Cheann Comhairle allow me to finish?
- Local Government Reform Bill 2013: Report Stage (11 Dec 2013)
John Deasy: I would like to mention the other two amendments. With regard to the 50% issue and the rebate I understand that the Minister will allow discretion in the local authorities. We appreciate that he has accepted the essence of our amendment. To impose a 50% bill on a vacant premises would be a mistake. A two-tier economy exists. I understand from the Committee Stage debate that the Minister...
- Local Government Reform Bill 2013: Report Stage (11 Dec 2013)
John Deasy: We are talking about the funding of local government, as Deputy Murphy mentioned. Some 50% is the estimate with regard to commercial rates funding local government, so I believe it is germane.
- Local Government Reform Bill 2013: Report Stage (11 Dec 2013)
John Deasy: I ask the Minister to comment on the three amendments concerning the transitional relief fund, the 50% rebate issue and how we propose to deal with the legacy or historical arrears on properties. I wish to raise two other issues. First, we need to get into a debate here as to how, organisationally within government, we deal with the whole area of rates and whether this should be dealt with...
- Public Accounts Committee: Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (11 Dec 2013)
John Deasy: I want to clear something up with regard to the lump sum of €200,000. Where did it come from and how was it funded?
- Public Accounts Committee: Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (11 Dec 2013)
John Deasy: Were you aware, Mr. Kiely, that the €200,000 lump sum you received had come from that fund?
- Public Accounts Committee: Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (11 Dec 2013)
John Deasy: I understand that. That is fair enough. Did you have any qualms about the lump sum coming from that fund?
- Public Accounts Committee: Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (11 Dec 2013)
John Deasy: Do you know what? I feel slightly uncomfortable about parts of this myself, but I have to ask that question. What are the HSE guidelines when it comes to lump sum payments in that regard, or does it have any?
- Public Accounts Committee: Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (11 Dec 2013)
John Deasy: Did you know that money was coming from the Friends and Supporters of the CRC?
