Companies (Amendment) Bill 2014: Second Stage (Resumed) [Private Members] (5 Feb 2014)

Andrew Doyle: I also wish to commend Deputy Donnelly for drafting the Bill and bringing it before the House. It is a long process to get it to the point where one feels confident enough to present it. It boils down essentially to the cost of doing business, as well as protecting a business and keeping it viable. In considering this Bill, however, we may have lost sight of the fact that most SMEs do...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forestry Bill 2013: Society of Irish Foresters (11 Feb 2014)

Andrew Doyle: The witnesses said at the outset that because the forestry policy review has not been completed this legislation may be somewhat premature. Do they envisage that this will necessitate an additional later Bill or does this Bill go further than initially intended, without going all the way because it cannot do so? It was intended to streamline the felling and application process and has...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forestry Bill 2013: Society of Irish Foresters (11 Feb 2014)

Andrew Doyle: The general trend is along that line of thought. The issues raised by all of the delegates have a common thread running through them, with slightly different perspectives, particularly on the management plan which should include the felling licence. Others have stated there should also be an indication of replanting intentions before the clear felling licence is granted. From the point of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Effects of Recent Storms on Fishing Community (13 Feb 2014)

Andrew Doyle: It is difficult for Dr. Beamish to answer that question. The key point is to ensure someone has responsibility in the case of every item of infrastructure. The allocation made by the Minister is confusing as it provides for €26 million for local authority infrastructure, tourism, amenity and community infrastructure and piers and harbours. This creates a grey area. Perhaps Dr....
