US Executive Order on Immigration: Statements (15 Feb 2017)

Robert Troy: I welcome the opportunity to speak on this subject. Fianna Fáil has already tabled a motion condemning the executive order which will have huge implications for Iran, Syria, Iraq, Somalia, Sudan, Libya and Yemen. The order also indefinitely halts refugees coming from Syria. I do not believe for one moment that President Trump is concerned about our motion in Dáil Éireann...

Questions on Promised Legislation (15 Feb 2017)

Robert Troy: Yesterday evening, I met a number of the workers protesting and picketing outside the Tesco branch of Longford. It is one of the eight shops out on strike. Although there are only 250 staff out of a workforce of over 10,000 affected by the savage cuts to terms and conditions, 100% of the employees in Longford went out in solidarity with their colleagues. The Taoiseach's programme for...

Robert Troy: It is almost five years since Columb Barracks, Mullingar, closed its doors following the decision by the previous Fine Gael-Labour Party Government to close the barracks. What action has the Department taken in the intervening five years to try to secure a new tenant for the barracks? Specifically, has the Minister of State or his officials engaged with the Department of Education and...

Other Questions: Army Barracks (15 Feb 2017)

Robert Troy: The Minister of State appeared to be expressing criticism of the community group for not producing a feasibility plan. To be fair to the organisation in question, it has exhausted many avenues and contacted various Departments to secure funding to carry out a feasibility study. However, funding has not been forthcoming. The chief executive and board of the Longford and Westmeath...

Other Questions: Army Barracks (15 Feb 2017)

Robert Troy: While I accept the Minister of State's bona fides and his statement that he is trying to help, unfortunately it does not ring true on the ground. I organised the meeting to which he referred and the departmental official was made welcome. The Department is paying for security at the former barracks. Perhaps the Minister of State will consider diverting some of the funding for security to...

Other Questions: Army Barracks (15 Feb 2017)

Other Questions: Army Barracks (15 Feb 2017)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Bus Éireann: Discussion (15 Feb 2017)

Robert Troy: I proposed the motion in the Dáil a couple of weeks ago and got cross-party support for it. I agree with the sentiments on how the NTA issues licences, and on increased subventions and increased funding from the Department of Social Protection. I welcome the fact that the unions are going to the WRC this evening and the last thing they or their members want to is be out on strike and...
