Matt Carthy: I reiterate that Sinn Féin's support for the further passage of this Bill is dependent on the Minister realising his commitments in respect of our amendment No. 7. That issue needs to be addressed if the Bill is to be assured of the support of the Dáil.

Matt Carthy: I thank the witnesses for attending. I have a couple of questions that have not been touched on. There has been discussion around legislation pertaining to dogs and there was a Government announcement this week. With regard to the Department of Rural and Community Development, are there any plans or discussions on what the new legislation might mean for the Department and any additional...

Matt Carthy: As Mr. Geraghty will know, I am a member of the Oireachtas agriculture committee, which has been following this for a long time and published a report on it last year. In her response, Ms Hurley referred to other Government Departments. One of the criticisms we have encountered is the cross-departmental aspect of this work. There is the Department of Rural and Community Development in...

Matt Carthy: I still do not have a sense, nor does anyone listening to the meeting, as to what rural proofing will mean. For me, if it is to be effective, it means that decisions must be made. Let us face it: most decisions that are made are made in this city within a very small geographical area. The people who make and advise on them are largely based within that same geographical area. We need to...

Matt Carthy: I open my remarks by sending my own best wishes and those of Sinn Féin to the EU ambassador, Aidan O'Hara, and his family following the attack on him in Sudan. It would be a major relief to all who know him and to all of us whom he serves that he has been reported to be in good health following the attack. The protection of diplomatic facilities and staff is an obligation under the...
