- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Closed-Circuit Television Systems (29 Nov 2018)
Brian Stanley: This question is on the community CCTV scheme which is a very important issue. As the Minister will know, many community groups want to put them in place. In Laois and Offaly, communities located close to the motorway are affected by crime due to their proximity to it. Community groups have raised money voluntarily. Grants are available to erect CCTV, which are very welcome, but,...

- Report on Procurement Process Audit of National Broadband Plan: Statements (4 Dec 2018)
Brian Stanley: I welcome the opportunity to address the Minister on this issue. My point of view and that of my party is that we want the broadband plan to be rolled out yesterday. It is supposed to be rolled out by 2020, but that commitment in the programme for Government is obviously dead. I do not believe there was any intention on the part of the former Minister to gain personally from his meetings...
- Report on Procurement Process Audit of National Broadband Plan: Statements (4 Dec 2018)
Brian Stanley: Two parties walked and there is one consortium left. That consortium has changed utterly. Is the Government concerned about this? It is just Granahan McCourt at this point.
- Report on Procurement Process Audit of National Broadband Plan: Statements (4 Dec 2018)
Brian Stanley: Procurement procedures provide that all meetings must be attended by at least two departmental officials or one departmental official and a designated adviser to the Department. We know that did not happen, as Mr. Peter Smyth found out. My concern is that it leaves the State and the taxpayer open to a challenge in the future. The word I would use is "bizarre". Where does it leave the...

- Report on Procurement Process Audit of National Broadband Plan: Statements (4 Dec 2018)
Brian Stanley: I wish to clarify the question. If a local authority wants to fit a front door to a house, it must obtain three tenders if the cost is more than €500. We are talking about hundreds of thousands of euros of taxpayers' money. For the life of me I cannot see how the Government can continue with the process. Is the Minister satisfied with it?

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (Resumed) (4 Dec 2018)
Brian Stanley: I thank the Senator. When we get to four minutes I will intervene to be fair to the speakers and the people replying. Deputy Munster is not present. I will take that slot. I thank the trade union delegation for coming in. As a former employee of Bord na Móna and from a constituency point of view, I have a particular interest in what happens. We have been highlighting the...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (Resumed) (4 Dec 2018)
Brian Stanley: I am mindful of the other members, but just on the climate action fund, is there a sense that we should be making a strong pitch for that, to move Bord na Móna into a different space? Perhaps someone from the Nevin Institute or the ICTU could answer that.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (Resumed) (4 Dec 2018)
Brian Stanley: Sorry, just a second. The answer that has been given - that it is voluntary - is very clear. I think Mr. Noone is seeking to explain that it is voluntary with certain conditions. I think he has answered the question fairly. Perhaps the other questions could be answered.
