Questions on Promised Legislation (8 Feb 2017)

Robert Troy: I wish to make the same point to the Taoiseach. Our local hospital, the Midland Regional Hospital Mullingar, is also a maternity hospital, and not just for my constituency but also for the midlands. The hospital put a business case to the HSE for it to provide €120,000 in order to ensure the hospital could comply with the national maternity plan. The business case for...

Priority Questions: Bus Éireann (8 Feb 2017)

Robert Troy: Since the beginning of the year, the leaking of reports has generated anxiety among staff and passengers who rely on Bus Éireann buses. Then, we realised that the Minister's predecessor was furnished with a cost-saving report more than 12 months ago. During that 12 months, no action has been taken by the Minister or his predecessor. One full year during which efficiencies could have...

Priority Questions: Bus Éireann (8 Feb 2017)

Robert Troy: I am shocked that the Minister now claims there was no report because he confirmed there was a report at a meeting of the Oireachtas committee last week. In fact, at this morning's meeting of the committee, I got a sense of hope, particularly in light of the fact that the Minister said he had checked the grammar and spell-checked the report of the RSA. It is Deputy Ross's duty as Minister...

Priority Questions: Bus Éireann (8 Feb 2017)

Robert Troy: In his negotiations with the chairman of the board and the CEO, did the Minister ask them to enter negotiations with the unions without any preconditions? If so, what was their reply?

Priority Questions: Rail Services Provision (8 Feb 2017)

Robert Troy: We all agree massive challenges face the transport network here in the capital city. The DART underground has huge economic benefits that reach far beyond the greater Dublin area. It will link our southern and western rail lines with the DART and our eastern and northern rail lines and will more than double the capacity on the Maynooth and Kildare route, which will enable more frequent and...

Priority Questions: Rail Services Provision (8 Feb 2017)

Robert Troy: I appreciate the Minister asking me to forward a question to Iarnród Éireann. I could write to the chief executive officer of Iarnród Éireann but he might reply more quickly to the Minister. That is not good enough.

Other Questions: Noise Pollution Legislation (8 Feb 2017)

Robert Troy: Despite the answer the Minister has given us today, we are none the wiser on whether a statutory instrument will be used alone and exclusively to give the Irish Aviation Authority the authority to adjudicate on noise levels.
