Enterprise Ireland - Financial Statement 2013 (12 Feb 2015) Shane Ross: This is ridiculous. Mr. Shanahan knows perfectly well what is the answer. Surely he is not trying to tell me that he, as chief executive, does not know what is the procedure for appointing board members.

Enterprise Ireland - Financial Statement 2013 (12 Feb 2015) Shane Ross: Does Mr. Shanahan know if the positions were advertised? Did those who were appointed appear before any Oireachtas committees prior to taking up their positions?

Enterprise Ireland - Financial Statement 2013 (12 Feb 2015) Shane Ross: This matter relates to corporate governance and it is very important to know how things are done. It may not be a matter for Mr. Shanahan but I want to establish of what he is aware. He is a member of the board.

IDA Ireland - Financial Statement 2013
Enterprise Ireland - Financial Statement 2013 (12 Feb 2015) Shane Ross: Mr. Shanahan is a member of the board. The board should be aware of the exact nature of the procedure used to appoint the chairman. It would be crazy if the board was not aware of the position in that regard. It certainly should be aware of it. If the position is advertised, then the board should be aware of that fact as well. It is absurd to state that it is just a matter for the...

Enterprise Ireland - Financial Statement 2013 (12 Feb 2015) Shane Ross: I could also table a parliamentary question. It is very important that we know how corporate governance operates at the top of IDA Ireland and other semi-State bodies. This matter comes within both our remit and our brief. We should also be in a position to know how the chairperson of a State body is appointed. That is absolutely vital. Was it not the case that the position Mr....

Enterprise Ireland - Financial Statement 2013 (12 Feb 2015) Shane Ross: There is nothing personal about this. I put questions of this nature to everybody who comes before us. It is just that it is extremely important to know how these things are done.

IDA Ireland - Financial Statement 2013
Enterprise Ireland - Financial Statement 2013 (12 Feb 2015) Shane Ross: Yes, but it is also important for us to know how the board regards the appointment process and how much its members know about that process. It would be very wrong if these appointments were made without the board having any knowledge with regard to what happens. In fact, it would be absolutely absurd. The annual report states that, in the context of transactions, directors must make...

Enterprise Ireland - Financial Statement 2013 (12 Feb 2015) Shane Ross: I cannot see any reason that the full details should not be provided. It would be somewhat alarming if Mr. Shanahan was not prepared to provide such details. Enterprise Ireland has always produced full details when requested to do so. Perhaps Mr. Shanahan will-----

- Written Answers — Department of Education and Skills: School Enrolments (17 Feb 2015)
Shane Ross: 453. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills her plans to address the 192 applications received, for an intake of 56 infant children, in respect of a school (details supplied) in Dublin 14, for September 2015, thus denying children access to their local school; her Department's efforts to alleviate the problem; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

- Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Garda Station Closures (19 Feb 2015)
Shane Ross: 3. To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality her plans to improve policing in the Stepaside area in County Dublin; if her attention has been drawn to the spike in burglaries in the area since the closure of the Garda station there; if she will provide figures for crime in the area since the station closed; if her attention has been drawn to the fact that, since the station closed,...
- Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Garda Station Closures (19 Feb 2015)
Shane Ross: In view of the fact that Stepaside Garda station was closed in March 2013, that the number of burglaries in the area has rocketed and that the residents of the area are victims of crime on a daily basis, will the Minister outline her proposals for what she intends to do about this, in particular, to revisit the disastrous decision by her predecessor to close the Garda station?
- Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Garda Station Closures (19 Feb 2015)
Shane Ross: The Minister's reply, unfortunately, is totally unsatisfactory. With regard to Stepaside specifically, I looked for the figures but they have stopped producing them, I presume because they are so embarrassing and, as there is an epidemic of burglaries, they do not want to expose themselves to the accusation that the closure of the station was a disaster and was wrong. This is of epidemic...

Shane Ross: I am sorry. It is an emergency.
- Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Garda Station Closures (19 Feb 2015)
Shane Ross: The Minister is right that the gangs are very mobile. That is why they come to Stepaside. They know it is easy pickings because it is open season there. They come out there and they are not the slightest bit impressed by the fact there are a few more patrol cars, which there may or may not be. They come and they operate there with impunity. At a local meeting some time ago, I asked the...
