Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Finance Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed) (15 Nov 2022)

Pearse Doherty: But where does it say that? It does not say that. It does basically say that the "specified landlord" means a Minister of the Government. It does not say in just their professional capacity. A number of Ministers are landlords. Their tenants should be entitled to claim this rent credit.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Report of the Review of the Operation of the Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Act 2018: Discussion (31 May 2023)

Michael McNamara: Does she think that it would also demonstrate strong leadership and courage to reject the recommendations or does she think leadership and courage are restricted to those whose views she shares? Does she think that people whose views she does not agree with can also be courageous and demonstrate leadership?

State Airports. (12 May 2005)

Olivia Mitchell: Does the Minister consider it fair, either to the hotels or the fledgeling Dublin Airport Authority, to leave the hotels in the care of an organisation that admits it does not have the interest, finance or ability necessary to run hotels? Running hotels is not what the authority does or what it is good at. Does it not have enough to do in running airports? Does it not behove the Minister to...

John Deasy: .... If, for example, the assessment from the individual who is conducting this investigation is that it could take eight years, which is not hypothetical because it has been in the media, what does the Department do when it discovers that? Does it have input? Does Mr. Watt give his opinion and tell his Minister we have a problem here? Does he say to the Minister we need to correct it and...

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Central Bank (Individual Accountability Framework) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (30 Nov 2022)

Pearse Doherty: What reach does this have? I know all legislation has international reach but given that people in financial institutions are mobile and international banks exist and so on and so forth, even if they are not resident here, the Central Bank has the powers to prosecute them for any of these breaches. Does it have all the powers in terms of sanctions and all the rest and does that apply to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Affordable Housing: Discussion (18 Jun 2019)

Richard Boyd Barrett: Generally, how much does the cost of finance vary and how much does it impact on the final rent in cost rental or, for that matter, the purchase price? What are the different sources of finance and what sort of variability is there in the cost at different times and overall in these projects? Elaborating on an earlier question, everything that the agency is doing seems to be based on...

Charities Bill 2007: From the Seanad (Resumed) (11 Feb 2009)

Michael Ring: As I discussed earlier, the Revenue is independent of the regulator regarding the charities. The Revenue does its job and the regulator does a separate job with charities. Does the Minister proposes that if a charity does something wrong there is a statutory provision to remove a charity and deal with its assets?

Public Accounts Committee: 2012 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
2012 Accounts of the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (23 Oct 2014)

Seán Fleming: It does not have limited liability at all. If things go wrong, who does somebody sue at the end of the day? In the case of a company, there are shareholders or whatever. Who does somebody sue in the case of a body like this? Who is left carrying the can? We know it is the taxpayer, but does the board have any role before we get to the poor taxpayer? Do the members of the board have any...

Covid-19 (Health): Statements (30 Apr 2020)

Alan Farrell: The Deputy does not have to agree if she does not want to. We are not in a position to take a break. If the Deputy does not want to agree she does not have to, but it will mean that the Independent group and Deputies Danny and Michael Healy-Rae will lose time.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Report of the Agriculture Appeals Act Review Committee: Discussion (3 Jul 2018)

Tim Lombard: I apologise; I was called away to vote in the Seanad and my return was slightly delayed. I want to ask whether the appeals office received independent legal advice. Where does such advice come into play? Perhaps my question has been asked previously. From where does the appeals office get its legal advice? Does the same location provide legal advice to the Department of Agriculture,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: EU State Aid Rules - Investigation into Preferential Tax Rulings: Minister for Finance and Office of the Revenue Commissioners (2 Feb 2017) See 1 other result from this debate

Paddy Burke: When changes are made by way of legislation passed by the Oireachtas, does Revenue notify the companies that there have been changes or does it have to wait for them to ask for a ruling? Does Revenue give them rulings? Does it say the law has changed and the previous ruling Revenue gave has changed?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism: Autism Policy and Education: Discussion (28 Jun 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I thank the Chairman. I just have a couple of quick questions on practical matters. How does the NCSE support dual enrolments between say, a national school and a special school and how does it track and monitor the effectiveness of that or is that something the NCSE does? How does it track the breakdown of placements or what I described earlier about this perceived managing-out of a...

Special Advisers. (30 Mar 2004) See 3 other results from this debate

Bernard Durkan: To whom does the adviser in question report in the course of the monitoring undertaken? Is it to the Attorney General or to his own office? Does he liaise with the legal agent in each Department, does he initiate or do they initiate? To whom does ultimate responsibility fall regarding the initiation of a proposal?

Public Accounts Committee: 2021 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 38 - Health
Health Service Executive - Financial Statements 2021 (Resumed) (2 Feb 2023)

Catherine Murphy: As I have a short amount of time, I would like contained replies because there are a number of things I would like to ask. When the HSE gets a claim, how does it handle it? Does it handle it itself or does it go to the State Claims Agency? How does it deal with it?

Public Accounts Committee: 2011 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 10 - Office of Public Works (23 May 2013)

Simon Harris: I appreciate that some of these questions are for the Accounting Officer of the Department but I must put them to the Chairman because she is present. Does the OPW have any role in scrutinising the brief? Ms McGrath has stated the Department sends the brief to the OPW but what precisely does the office do with it? Does it go through it and check it is in line with everything the office is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Illegal Israeli Settlements Divestment Bill 2023: Discussion (20 Mar 2024)

Mr. Oliver Gilvarry: The UN has been quite clear that this does not have legal status because it does not purport to constitute a judicial or quasi-judicial process of any kind and its update does not provide any legal characterisation. It does not appear that the UN’s database is intended to have a particular legal status. It is-----

Standardised Testing. (3 Feb 2005)

Olwyn Enright: The Minister said that 95% of schools use some kind of standardised testing. To what use does the Department put that information? Does it look at the special needs resources allocation, classification of disadvantage, or increased funding? If the information does not have a function, then what does the Department hope to achieve if testing were to be introduced?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: State Claims Agency: Discussion (8 May 2018)

Paddy Burke: How does mediation work? When does the HSE notify the State Claims Agency that there is a case or that it might have a case in respect of which the agency might help with mediation? Does the client have to initiate legal proceedings against the HSE before the State Claims Agency is notified? How does the whole thing operate?

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (15 Feb 2024)

Cian O'Callaghan: ...seirbhíse Gaeltachta and líonraí Gaeilge. They are all recognised and this amendment is not seeking to undo that in any way. It is referring to traditional settlement patterns in Gaeltacht areas. It does not in any way negate or exclude anything else. The amendment does not do what the Minister says it does. It does not at all exclude other areas. It is inserting a new...

Catherine Murphy: ...known since I got involved in politics, and that is a long time going back to local government level. When people tell you something is desirable, it usually means they would like to do it, but it does not get done. There is almost a language you have to acquire. When he says "engage," what does that mean? Does the Department say something cannot be done as it will cost a fortune?...
