Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Miscellaneous Provisions (Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union on 29 March 2019) Bill 2019: Discussion (6 Feb 2019)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Impact of Brexit on Transport Sector: Discussion (6 Feb 2019)

John O'Mahony: I thank the Minister for the information he has provided on the aviation and road haulage sectors, on the corporate structure of the airlines and on the landbridge. It appears that travel in these sectors between here and Northern Ireland is not going to be as seamless as for rail and bus passengers. A year ago, I asked the Minister whether flights would be grounded in the event of no deal...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Impact of Brexit on Transport Sector: Discussion (6 Feb 2019)

John O'Mahony: When the European Commissioner for Transport, Ms Violeta Bulc, appeared before the committee approximately 18 months ago, she stated the review would be carried out in 2023. However, as Deputy Troy stated, it should be brought forward because of Brexit and to take into account the matters we are discussing. I presume Ireland would be pushing an open door in seeking a review because there...

What is not in there in this period? What would be the practical effect?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Impact of Brexit on Transport Sector: Discussion (6 Feb 2019)

John O'Mahony: I will make just one final point and then finish. Regarding the 12-month extension or whatever to keep the flights moving, what needs to happen in those 12 months to allow that situation to continue into the future in the case of a no-deal? In other words, will we face another cliff in 12 months if certain things do not happen within that period?

Seanad: Gambling Legislation: Motion (27 Feb 2019)

John O'Mahony: I welcome this opportunity to discuss the issue of gambling and its expansion. I commend Senator Craughwell and all the Independent Senators on bringing forward this motion. I welcome the Minister of State to the House. As has been said, he has a deep interest in this issue and wants to find solutions. Gambling, in all its various guises, has increased and multiplied and is now literally...

Seanad: Gambling Legislation: Motion (27 Feb 2019)

John O'Mahony: There should be co-operation between sporting organisations and the Government to facilitate these people in telling their stories to every secondary school student in the country. They are horror stories about how a person's life can spin totally out of control. Such case studies may make a perfect case for establishing a gambling regulatory authority. The advertising, sponsorship and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Business of Joint Committee (27 Feb 2019)

John O'Mahony: I was not in attendance at the last meeting. On the appearance of Mr. John Delaney, I note that the financial controller has resigned and will leave the FAI at the end of March. I presume that whatever discussion comes up will involve financial matters. I am concerned that the meeting will not be as thorough as it might need to be in that circumstance. I just raise that concern.
