Local Government (Mayor and Regional Authority of Dublin) Bill 2010: Second Stage (3 Nov 2010)

Brian Hayes: I thank Deputy Hogan for giving me an opportunity to speak so early in the debate. All Dublin Deputies should speak in this debate because I believe if a free vote were held on this proposal from the Minister, Deputy Gormley, a significant majority of Deputies would be against it. I have yet to meet one Dublin Fianna Fáil Deputy who supports this proposal. The former Lord Mayor, and even...

Local Government (Mayor and Regional Authority of Dublin) Bill 2010: Second Stage (3 Nov 2010)

Brian Hayes: If he is so convinced of his arguments on this proposal, he should put it to a referendum of the people of Dublin. Let us ask the people of Dublin if they want a directly elected lord mayor in the current context of the financial disaster the Minister of State and his cronies in Fianna Fáil have brought upon this country. They should ask the people of Dublin directly, not the Dublin...

Local Government (Mayor and Regional Authority of Dublin) Bill 2010: Second Stage (3 Nov 2010)

Brian Hayes: The Minister of State tells us they do but has he asked them? Let us have the referendum and we will follow it up because this is not a serious proposal unless the Minister is prepared to take a number of actions. The Minister of State's colleagues in Fianna Fáil demolished local government in the 1970s when they effectively took away the funding base for local authorities. Everyone knows...

Local Government (Mayor and Regional Authority of Dublin) Bill 2010: Second Stage (3 Nov 2010)

Brian Hayes: -----which is just another layer of bureaucracy on an existing disorganised and dysfunctional system of government in Dublin. What people want to know, in view of the diminishing resources of the city, is whether they can have their paths fixed and problems with public lighting and open spaces sorted out. The truth is that the budgets of the four local authorities will be reduced next year...

Local Government (Mayor and Regional Authority of Dublin) Bill 2010: Second Stage (3 Nov 2010)

Brian Hayes: Of course, they will not do that, because their own arrogance stands in the way. This is e-voting all over again, Dublin-wide. A Minister, caught in the headlights, realising he made the wrong call some years ago in going into Government with Fianna Fáil, has now decided he must leave his imprint on the office because he knows he is out the door within six months, and this is his...

Local Government (Mayor and Regional Authority of Dublin) Bill 2010: Second Stage (3 Nov 2010)

Brian Hayes: In that last minute I ask the Dublin Fianna Fáil Deputies who tell me privately that they are against this to stand up in the House this week, next week, or whenever, and state their views publicly. I challenge the Government, if it wants to go down this road, to ask the people of Dublin. Ultimately, the mayor has the capacity to be a leader of the local authorities in Dublin but to...

Private Members' Business (3 Nov 2010)

Brian Hayes: This motion is not about blood letting, it is about ensuring the House lays down a marker for the Government about the appallingly wasteful management of the bank crisis by the Government to date. The reason our deficit adjustment figure has gone from €7.5 billion to €15 billion is the news of the extraordinary cost of the banking bailout on Black Thursday. That is the cost the Irish...
