Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (19 Jun 2014) John Deasy: I might have to give out to Mr. O'Mahony for hiring him, because he was so good at his job. I accept that this is a policy issue, but the senior Department officials who deal with it cannot remove themselves from the reality of what is occurring around the country. I will continue to make the case for Waterford Airport, as I have done in this forum countless times. The airport must be...

Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (19 Jun 2014) John Deasy: I am reading parts of the report. One of the points I and others have made in the past is that the HSE has never policed this area properly. We should consider issuing a formal invitation to representatives from the HSE to come before us in order that we might ask them about the findings contained in the report. It is very important that we should do that.

- State Airports (Shannon Group) Bill 2014 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed) (25 Jun 2014)
John Deasy: I apologise for interrupting Deputy O'Donnell and agree with his points on balanced regional development. The Bill concerns itself with the reorganisation and restructuring of Shannon and Cork airports. It makes provisions for pension schemes and the commercial relationships between the airports and State agencies. However, it also represents a determined intent to transform, modernise...

Vote 25 - Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government (26 Jun 2014) John Deasy: To all intents and purposes, the enterprise boards have been subsumed into the local authorities. That is a move with which I strongly disagree. I have had a very good experience with my local enterprise board, but some Deputies have not. The last place the staff and decision-making processes of local enterprise boards should be is within the apparatus of local authorities, particularly in...

Vote 25 - Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government (26 Jun 2014) John Deasy: Therefore, the Department is trying to interweave what local authorities do when it comes to the development of enterprise with what local enterprise boards would have done in the past. It does, therefore, have a role.

Vote 25 - Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government (26 Jun 2014) John Deasy: That is very odd. It is sometimes difficult to even contact Enterprise Ireland by telephone and Mr. McCarthy is stating it is going to be responsible for determining whether what is involved is going to be a success. This is absolutely critical in the context of local development. The people with whom I have dealt for the past 20 years are very good at what they do. Mr. McCarthy is...

Vote 25 - Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government (26 Jun 2014) John Deasy: On local representation, an unusual phenomenon occurred on polling day in the recent local elections. I refer to the fact that voters in Clonakilty elected their own mayor. I do not know if Mr. McCarthy is aware of this, but it is an interesting development. It was considered there was a dearth of representation in the aftermath of the abolition of town councils and, as a result, voters...
