Clare Daly: 228. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport his views on the latest fare hikes introduced by Dublin Bus and the justification for the increase which will see a five-day bus pass increase to €35.50, as this will particularly effect persons who rely on public transport; and his plans to address this. [44496/15]

Finance (Local Property Tax) (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2015: Committee and Remaining Stages (11 Dec 2015)

Clare Daly: I move amendment No. 4:In page 3, line 25, after “it,” to insert “or”. Maybe Deputy Lawlor will be as interested in this issue, which affects his constituents and their inability to access their lawful entitlement to an exemption from property tax when they have pyrite, as he is in the welfare of Northern Ireland citizens.

Finance (Local Property Tax) (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2015: Committee and Remaining Stages (11 Dec 2015)

Clare Daly: This group of amendments deals with the Government’s changes to the pyrite exemption which are better than what was in place but not good enough.

Finance (Local Property Tax) (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2015: Committee and Remaining Stages (11 Dec 2015)

Clare Daly: My amendments seek to make the Government’s changes in this Bill a little better than that under several headings. I am a bit worn out with this issue which we have been discussing since the local property tax, LPT, was introduced. The Government’s change to the effect that once properties have been included for remediation in the scheme or have been remediated by the insurer...

Finance (Local Property Tax) (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2015: Committee and Remaining Stages (11 Dec 2015)

Clare Daly: Would that it were so. Sadly, part of my reason for tabling the amendment is the bitter experience of homeowners who have found inconsistency in the Revenue's approach to these matters. It should be perfectly easy for the Revenue to know which estates and general areas are affected by pyrite and which are not. The Bill leaves too much scope for the Revenue to make onerous requests, which...

Finance (Local Property Tax) (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2015: Committee and Remaining Stages (11 Dec 2015)

Clare Daly: I move amendment No. 5:In page 3, between lines 25 and 26, to insert the following:“(b) the property has a BCA rating of more than zero, regardless of whether or not a hardcore infill test has been carried out, or”.

Coroners Bill 2015: Second Stage [Private Members] (11 Dec 2015)

Clare Daly: I move: "That the Bill be now read a Second Time." I acknowledge it is the 11th hour as we have almost reached the Christmas break but I am glad we are discussing this legislation. Earlier this week, when I thought I might not be around for a few weeks, this was the only item of business that I would have been gutted to miss. It is not that other issues are unimportant but this Bill is...

Coroners Bill 2015: Second Stage [Private Members] (11 Dec 2015)

Clare Daly: I will try to be as brief as possible. I am conscious it has been a long day here, particularly for people in the Visitors Gallery, many of whom have travelled very long distances to be here. At the heart of this is the right to know. Too often in Irish institutions, as Deputy Wallace pointed out, when a mistake is made, the automatic instinct is to cover up, deny and make the problem...

Coroners Bill 2015: Referral to Select Committee (11 Dec 2015)

Clare Daly: I move:That the Bill be referred to the Select Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality pursuant to Standing Orders 82A3(a) and 118 of the Standing Orders relative to Public Business and paragraph (8) of the Orders of Reference of Select Committees.

Other Questions: Hydraulic Fracturing Policy (15 Dec 2015)

Clare Daly: 41. To ask the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources his views on the wisdom of continuing with the Environmental Protection Agency study into hydraulic fracturing with terms of reference that are considerably out of date, given that 50% of research into hydraulic fracturing has been carried out since 2012. [44663/15]

Other Questions: Hydraulic Fracturing Policy (15 Dec 2015)

Clare Daly: This follows on from Deputy Colreavy's earlier question regarding the EPA process and fracking. I am not filled with confidence given the Minister of State's implacable defence of the process in the prepared answer he read out and then in the latter reply when he said he would give us an interim report, which completely contradicts the EPA head of research who in March of this year said...

Other Questions: Hydraulic Fracturing Policy (15 Dec 2015)

Clare Daly: The problem is that stock has been taken of this process so far by people with greater technical expertise than anybody in this House and we can say with absolute confidence and without fear of contradiction that fracking is a tainted process. We know, for example, that Queen's University pulled out at the start. We know that the Dáil was misled about the university's involvement in...

Other Questions: Hydraulic Fracturing Policy (15 Dec 2015)

Clare Daly: If the Minister of State has concerns I do not know why we are going ahead with fracking. It seems to be a case of I have started so I will finish, which makes no sense. Let us be clear about the involvement of Queen's University. At the Oireachtas joint committee last week the EPA admitted that it had misled the House in regard to the major change in the status of the involvement of...
