Protection of Employees (Amendment) Bill 2012: Second Stage (Resumed) (2 May 2012)

Clare Daly: The protection of employees has been brought centre stage as a result of the recent cases highlighted by Deputies Joan Collins and Richard Boyd Barrett. While this badly needed legislation does not claim to be a panacea, it is a step in the right direction. If nothing else, it has focused attention on employee protection and forced the House to discuss the issue. The Government has been...

Building Regulations (3 May 2012)

Clare Daly: The Minister's response is factually inaccurate in several instances. He acknowledges that the regulations were inadequate and had to be changed. The issue, however, is whether he was aware of the problem at that time. There is now disputable evidence, given most recently at a symposium in Trinity College, that there was a massive awareness of this issue in terms of the ground engineering...

Building Regulations (3 May 2012)

Clare Daly: If the pyrite panel comes back with a finding that makes points like those the Minister is making, the householders affected are going to be seriously disappointed.

Water Charges (3 May 2012)

Clare Daly: I am shocked as although my question was quite specific, the Minister did not address a single part of it. The question indicated that the Minister is privy to information submitted by local authority engineers which undermines the entire premise of the establishment of Irish Water in the first place. In particular, they have pinpointed serious flaws in the PricewaterhouseCoopers study....

Water Charges (3 May 2012)

Clare Daly: The Minister has acknowledged that the PricewaterhouseCoopers report was disputed. In the light of this, how can he justify making the decision without exploring these issues further?

What will the Minister do about the boundary...
