Priority Questions: Bus Éireann (8 Feb 2017)

Clare Daly: 33. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport his plans to ensure that preconditions regarding reductions in staff costs are removed in Bus Éireann; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6197/17]

Priority Questions: Bus Éireann (8 Feb 2017)

Clare Daly: I hate to say it but this question is also on the issue of Bus Éireann. It is about the issue of preconditions in negotiations. The Minister said in his response to Deputy Barry that he was opposed to any preconditions in the current crisis at Bus Éireann. Given that is his stated objective, what does he believe he can do to facilitate the removal of such preconditions, as...

Priority Questions: Bus Éireann (8 Feb 2017)

Clare Daly: The reality is that workers at Bus Éireann provide 40,000 services per week. They have had to endure essentially a pay freeze since 2009, when they were actually promised a pay increase of 6%. I note the Minister's statement that nobody should go into these talks with preconditions, but the reality is that Bus Éireann management has said that much of the savings it seeks will come...

Priority Questions: Bus Éireann (8 Feb 2017)

Clare Daly: I think that will be absolutely necessary. The backdrop to the current crisis and the cuts that are set to be imposed on workers is, in part, a result of the reduction in the public service obligation, PSO, subvention, one of the key reasons Bus Éireann has run into problems. While the Minister has said openly that he does not believe either party should be involved in going into this...

Clare Daly: 35. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport further to Parliamentary Question No. 50 of 7 December 2016, if the statutory instrument or primary legislation to transpose EU Directive 598/2014 is imminent; and the date upon which either or both will be brought before the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport for discussion. [6029/17]

Other Questions: Noise Pollution Legislation (8 Feb 2017)

Clare Daly: This question relates to previous ones regarding the transposition of EU Directive 598/2014 on airport noise, a measure put forward, ironically, to benefit communities afflicted by airport noise but which is being met by the communities around Dublin Airport with some concern because the Dublin Airport Authority, DAA, plans to use this vehicle to overturn the existing conditions which will...

Other Questions: Noise Pollution Legislation (8 Feb 2017)

Clare Daly: We are running in circles to stand still because my question was when might that happen and I am still none the wiser. The Minister laid great emphasis on the delivery of a statutory instrument to deliver these changes. In the final part of his reply, however, he referred to primary legislation. When we raised this matter previously, primary legislation was deemed to be required. When we...

Other Questions: Noise Pollution Legislation (8 Feb 2017)

Clare Daly: I am glad the Minister has recognised that the residents are facing huge uncertainty. It strikes me, not for the first time, that we might need a new Attorney General and a bit of an improvement on the homework brigade. The Minister has repeatedly given a commitment that the rights of the local community will not be reduced by the daa. He has said there will be a consultative forum with...

Bail (Amendment) Bill 2016: Second Stage (8 Feb 2017)

Clare Daly: I may share some time with Deputy Mick Wallace if there is some remaining. I will make a few brief points. The Bill gives more power to the Garda and prosecutors when it comes to bail and it allows more grounds for a court to refuse bail. It attaches extra conditions to a grant of bail, including, as Deputies have alluded to, curfews and electronic tagging. If Ireland is to move to a...
