Central Bank (National Claims Information Database) Bill 2018: Second Stage (20 Sep 2018)

Peadar Tóibín: Cuirim fáilte roimh an deis chun labhairt ar an ábhar seo mar is ábhar iontach tábhachtach é gan dabht. Tá na mílte duine thar timpeall na tíre ag fulaingt de bharr na praisí ina bhfuil an córas árachais sa tír seo. Is léir go bhfuil an córas sin iomlán briste mar tá daoine ann nach bhfuil in ann taisteal,...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: National Planning Framework (20 Sep 2018)

Peadar Tóibín: Well, it is nearly as bad. It is a serious issue. Over the past number of years, I have taken a well-worn path into this Chamber to discuss investment in County Meath. Many people are unaware of this issue but Meath is an outlier when it comes to investment and resources. Meath is unique because out of 28 local authorities in this State, it is at the very bottom of the investment lists...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: National Planning Framework (20 Sep 2018)

Peadar Tóibín: I take the Minister of State's point with regard to jobs. Meath is a commuter county and comparator counties are Louth, Kildare and Wicklow, all of which get far more jobs from the IDA per capita than Meath. I too would pair the population with jobs if I was in the Government's position. Let us look at the population statistics. Between 2006 and 2016 the population of Navan increased...

National Monuments (The Moore Street Battlefield) Bill 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (20 Sep 2018)

Peadar Tóibín: I move: "That the Bill be now read a Second Time." The stories of the Irish State and of the Moore Street battlefield site mirror each other in many ways. Moore Street has been said to be the birthplace of the Irish State. The lanes and buildings that surround the street reverberate with the heroism of the people who were out in 1916. That action was the precursor to an independent...

National Monuments (The Moore Street Battlefield) Bill 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (20 Sep 2018)

Peadar Tóibín: The stories of the Irish State and of Moore Street are very much mirror images of each other. It is often said that the battlefield site is the birthplace of the State. The lanes of Moore Street reverberated with the heroism of 1916 which set in train the events leading to the freedom of this part of the island and the end of hundreds of years of occupation and exploitation. Moore Street...

National Monuments (The Moore Street Battlefield) Bill 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (20 Sep 2018)

Peadar Tóibín: There is great disappointment on this side and among many of the campaigners with regard to the Government's decision on the matter. The only reason Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael would refuse to recognise Moore Street as a national monument is to leave the door open to development in Moore Street that is not in sympathy with a national monument. If that were the case, Members would simply...

National Monuments (The Moore Street Battlefield) Bill 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (20 Sep 2018)

Peadar Tóibín: That is true. For ages we have seen excuse after excuse from the establishment of this State for not simply making Moore Street a national monument. It is incredible. The parties will always find a reason. I was told during the Government's appeal of the High Court case that it was not about Moore Street and its importance as a national monument, it was simply about planning issues...

National Monuments (The Moore Street Battlefield) Bill 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (20 Sep 2018)

Peadar Tóibín: I ask the Minister not to reply to me now but, rather, to send me a short reply by email stating whether she agrees that the Moore Street battlefield site is a national monument. If she, Fianna Fáil, Sinn Féin and Independent Deputies all believe it is, let us make it such.
