Government Appeal of European Commission Decision on State Aid to Apple: Motion (7 Sep 2016)

Robert Troy: I welcome the opportunity to contribute to the debate. Perhaps the only thing for which we must thank the Independent Alliance is the forcing of the debate in the Dáil on the issue today. I listened to the earlier speeches by the Minister for Finance and by the Taoiseach on the serious reputational damage done to Ireland by this ruling. They spoke about the damage done to Ireland's...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Estimates for Public Services 2016: Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (21 Sep 2016)

Robert Troy: We have to be careful what questions we ask the Minister because when I asked a question about the Road Safety Authority I did not expect the Minister to talk for 15 minutes about his hobbyhorse of quangos and how people are appointed to State boards. The Minister expressed a need for an increase in the State subvention to Dublin Bus and Bus Éireann. He said he is making a play in the...

In his speech, the...

It was promised to be introduced in the Dáil before the end of the last session, but it did not reach the agenda at the time so it is important that we are debating this issue on the first day of the new Dáil session. ...

Road Traffic Bill 2016 [Seanad]: Second Stage (27 Sep 2016)

Robert Troy: I understand the study conducted by the Medical Bureau of Road Safety, MBRS, on which the Bill relies, is 16 years old.

The use of psychoactive drugs has become much more prevalent. Unfortunately, Ireland has the...

Robert Troy: I welcome the opportunity to speak in this debate. It is timely and I compliment my colleague, Deputy Calleary, for bringing forward the motion.

It is a damning indictment of the HSE...
