Irish Ferries: Motion. (11 Oct 2005)

Jim Glennon: If the law could be changed as glibly and with such facility as a comment across the floor of the House, it would be a great thing to do. It would be wonderful if it were all that simple. The Deputy knows that Irish law cannot be extended to an area over which the State has no jurisdiction. Irish law cannot be applied automatically to a ship sailing in and out of Ireland or indeed to an...

Quarterly National Household Survey: Statements. (19 Oct 2005)

Jim Glennon: Listening to Deputy Timmins during the past five minutes, I had to pinch myself to see whether I had suddenly been co-opted onto Wicklow County Council. I welcome the opportunity to speak on this issue. Listening to the tenor of the debate earlier, someone stated it was a nice idea on behalf of the Government to have this discussion so we could get involved in an exercise of...

Quarterly National Household Survey: Statements. (19 Oct 2005)

Jim Glennon: However, after this discussion I have my doubts. The Opposition's performance has been quite remarkable. We have had entirely subjective opinions given from different angles and it is entirely understandable in the circumstances. I wish to make one particular point regarding a radio interview to which my colleague, the Minister of State, Deputy Kitt, referred. It is worth repeating. The...

Quarterly National Household Survey: Statements (Resumed). (19 Oct 2005)

Jim Glennon: In my earlier contribution I took issue with some points raised by the Opposition and I will continue in that vein. Deputy Burton referred to a necklace of large towns around west Dublin, naming some of them. I am interested in her sense of direction because one of the towns referred to was Balbriggan. The people of Balbriggan will be interested to know how the Labour Party sees their place...

Ferns Report: Statements (Resumed). (9 Nov 2005)

Jim Glennon: I wish to share time with my colleague, the Minister of State at the Department of Agriculture and Food, Deputy Browne. While I am glad of the opportunity to contribute to such an important debate, like my colleagues I regret the situation that has given rise to this debate. Like Deputy Neville, I am a member of the Roman Catholic Church and describe myself as an á la carte Catholic. I also...

Road Safety: Motion (Resumed). (9 Nov 2005)

Jim Glennon: Like my colleagues, while I am glad to have an opportunity to contribute on this important topic, it does not give me satisfaction to have to deal with it. I am interested in the number of road fatalities in recent years. In 2003 there were 335 deaths on the road, compared to 472 in 1997. When one takes into account the number of additional vehicles on the road over that period the statistic...

Reform of the Competition Act 2002: Motion (Resumed). (16 Nov 2005)

Jim Glennon: Go raibh míle maith agat. Modesty forbids. In the dim and distant past, when I was growing up in a small town in north County Dublin with a population of 2,500, we had 15 grocery shops by my best count. We also had 15 public houses, which says something about Irish society at the time. That town's economy was based entirely on the months of July and August, when visitors would come from...
