Clare Daly: 1646. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will revise his plans for public transport infrastructure to serve Swords and north Dublin more generally, given that a Luas line or bus rapid transit service falls short of adequately serving this area. [31935/15]

Written Answers — Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport: Taxi Regulations (22 Sep 2015)

Clare Daly: 1647. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport his views that proposals moved by the Taxi Regulation Review Group in 2011, and which currently form part of the public consultation document on taxi roof signs and mandatory SPSV driver safety equipment, would make in-car CCTV and partitions mandatory in all taxis; if he has considered the effects these proposals will have, if...

Other Questions: Shannon Airport Facilities (23 Sep 2015)

Clare Daly: 8. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the number of soldiers of the United States of America who have passed through Shannon Airport to date in 2015, including the monthly breakdown; the number of requests his Department received in 2015 from civilian aircraft to land at Shannon Airport or pass through Irish airspace while carrying munitions; the number of permits issued for...

Other Questions: Shannon Airport Facilities (23 Sep 2015)

Clare Daly: This question concerns requests that the Minister's Department has handled on transiting soldiers and munitions on civilian aircraft through and over Shannon this year. Airport workers' evidence, given in open court during my and Deputy Wallace's case, made it clear that the conditions which the Minister's Department says are in place, ensuring munitions are held in an inaccessible position,...

Other Questions: Shannon Airport Facilities (23 Sep 2015)

Clare Daly: We will obviously digest that information. It follows on from the multiple pages received by Shannonwatch concerning permits sought for 2014. Based on the evidence the Minister has given us today, if anything the number of those requests has increased. In the main they come from the US. Has the Minister any comments or concerns regarding the types of material that were transited last...

Other Questions: Shannon Airport Facilities (23 Sep 2015)

Clare Daly: While I will accept that information, if the Minister is not able to tell me that the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade approved all the permits that were granted, then we have a serious problem. For example, some of the information that was given pertained to a permit request on 27 April last year for a flight carrying four Mk44 gun sections. These are vehicle-mounted guns that fire...

Topical Issue Debate: Refugee Numbers (23 Sep 2015)

Clare Daly: This is a major issue which is convulsing Europe, and I am shocked that there are only two of us in here who have raised this today. It is the third time we have had this question as a Topical Issue. The dire situation that hundreds of thousands, and indeed millions, of people around the globe are being placed in is reprehensible. We know that when Mare Nostrum was cancelled, the Irish...

Topical Issue Debate: Refugee Numbers (23 Sep 2015)

Clare Daly: The reality is that those ending up on European shores after making a horrendous journey to reach here constitute just the tip of the iceberg. Millions of the refugees are confined to the borders of Lebanon and Turkey with more in the Middle East-Europe region. Half the world's refugees come from Syria, Afghanistan and Somalia. Last year we allowed six flights go from the United States to...

Marriage Bill 2015: Second Stage (Resumed) (23 Sep 2015)

Clare Daly: Earlier, I was asked whether I was opposed to everything, and I made the point that I am opposed to quite a lot of what the Government does. If I were not, I would be part of it. It is our job as Opposition Deputies. I was asked whether there was anything on which I would compliment the Government. It was a real struggle, and the only one I could come up with was the legislation we are...

Public Transport Bill 2015: Second Stage (Resumed) (23 Sep 2015)

Clare Daly: I am delighted that there are some gentlemen left.

Public Transport Bill 2015: Second Stage (Resumed) (23 Sep 2015)

Clare Daly: The last time I was on a bus, I had to give up my seat for a pregnant woman, so it works many ways. There is a crisis all around. The points made by Deputy Halligan are quite valid. The Bill before the House is pretty technical. We are not dealing with anything revolutionary here. It is a means of facilitating bus rapid transit, with which I have an enormous problem. I am not really on...

Public Transport Bill 2015: Second Stage (Resumed) (23 Sep 2015)

Clare Daly: That has been the hallmark of public transport systems to begin with.

Public Transport Bill 2015: Second Stage (Resumed) (23 Sep 2015)

Clare Daly: That is because rail has been under-utilised. It is a fact that there has been a lack of investment in rail in this city and this country for decades.

Public Transport Bill 2015: Second Stage (Resumed) (23 Sep 2015)

Clare Daly: That is continuing against the backdrop of this country's abysmal failure to meet its climate change obligations. I am cognisant that a city cannot be run on cars. The Minister lives on the north side, although he is not as far north as me. People who live on routes on the north side that are not on the DART line are overwhelmingly reliant on private vehicles such as cars because the bus...

Clare Daly: 62. To ask the Minister for Finance the reason insurance companies are permitted to exclude cover for flood damage by using a technology for geo coding-flooding mapping, which results in premises being denied cover which they previously had despite no history of flooding; and the steps he proposes to take to deal with the industry. [32413/15]
