Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Heritage Sites (20 Oct 2016)

Eamon Ryan: 5. To ask the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht her plans for the protection of the Georgian graving docks in the Grand Canal basin; and if she will make a commitment to safeguard and improve the site, with a particular focus on Georgian heritage conservation. [31308/16]

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Heritage Sites (20 Oct 2016)

Eamon Ryan: The graving docks in the Grand Canal basin, near to here, are a very special place and arguably the most important point in the entire inland waterways system. All local representatives share real concerns over the plans of Inland Waterways Ireland to sell the lands to allow for development. This would be a fundamental mistake and would not just be throwing the baby out with the bathwater;...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Heritage Sites (20 Oct 2016)

Eamon Ryan: Do I take it that Inland Waterways will not sell these lands? They are three individual docks which originally were for people to work on canal boats. There is a small one, a medium-sized one and a large one about the size of this room and all three are threatened with sale. Is the Minister saying these Georgian pieces of infrastructure, built in the late 18th century, are to be preserved...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Heritage Sites (20 Oct 2016)

Eamon Ryan: I take it that this will be sold, because the SDZ allows for the development of the site. It seems that Waterways Ireland wants to spend the money in other parts of the network and does not care about the central core of the Georgian network in the centre of Dublin. Why will the Minister not intervene at this stage, rather than in the planning process? Why does she not listen to her...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Heritage Sites (20 Oct 2016)

Eamon Ryan: If this House ##called for Belfast docks or other key infrastructure in the North to be taken out, I have no doubt the Stormont Assembly would stand up for the preservation of its heritage. Why does the Government not want to stand up for the preservation of heritage in the centre of Dublin, which would be of huge economic value to the city?

Other Questions: National Spatial Strategy (20 Oct 2016)

Eamon Ryan: I encourage the Minister to include in her contribution on the national planning framework a look at land use strategy. In that regard, the potential exists to meet the objectives the Minister set in terms of employment and sustainable communities, to look at radical proposals taking both Coillte lands and Bord na Móna lands at scale and managing them in a different way, separating the...

Syrian Conflict: Statements (20 Oct 2016)

Eamon Ryan: It is deeply disturbing that, more than 100 years since the start of the First World War, nothing seems to have changed. The big game still plays out. There are different views of history, but Britain's fear of Russia moving south to cut off the former's access to the east was one of the factors that created the conditions that led to the lunacy of the First World War. Russia is again...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (25 Oct 2016)

Eamon Ryan: I agree with the previous speaker as such a strategy would be misguided if that is what the Government is pursuing. On the wider strategy, I have a concern that the Government is looking for a side-deal, as it were, between Ireland and the United Kingdom in any talks on invoking Article 50 which we might then present to the 26 remaining countries for them to treat us as a special case....

Other Questions: Consular Services Representations (25 Oct 2016)

Eamon Ryan: The Ceann Comhairle will be aware of the motions that were brought before the Dáil and Seanad calling for the release of Ibrahim Halawa. I am particularly interested in hearing an update from the Minister on what the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade is doing to help secure his release, given Mr. Halawa is approaching his 21st birthday, having been imprisoned without trial for...

Other Questions: Consular Services Representations (25 Oct 2016)

Eamon Ryan: I appreciate the update. Is it possible for the Minister to give any further indication as to the discussions with his counterpart, the Egyptian Foreign Minister, in New York in September? I realise that a decree No. 140 applications is one of the few ways in which the political system might be able to have an influence in this area. Did the Minister have any sense from talking to the...

Other Questions: Consular Services Representations (25 Oct 2016)

Eamon Ryan: I thank the Minister. I understand that it may be possible for a visit from the Oireachtas to take place in Egypt to consider a wide range of relations between Egypt and Ireland as well as to visit Ibrahim. I would be keen to hear whether the Minister thinks that might be a useful part of the diplomatic process in which he is engaged. In general, how is this case affecting diplomatic...
