Order of Business (Resumed) (21 Jul 2011)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Ba mhaith liom chuile rath a ghuí ar gach éinne i gcaitheamh an tsamhraidh. Tá sé tábhachtach go dtógfadh gach Teachta briseadh mar go dteastaíonn sé. Tá súil agam go ngéillfidh an Tánaiste don iarratas atá déanta agam go dtiocfaimid ar ais ar chúis faoi leith atá thar a bheith tábhachtach don tír.

Éamon Ó Cuív: Ba cheart dúinn toradh an mórchruinniú atá ar bun sa Bhruiséil a phlé.

Order of Business (Resumed) (21 Jul 2011)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Three referenda are promised. My understanding was that they would be run with the presidential election. The time is getting very short. What plans are there to have the consultation process set up by the commission and to have these referenda, allowing that we are not coming back until 14 September? Will the Tánaiste clarify whether these referenda will go ahead on 21 October, the date...

Éamon Ó Cuív: It is a very tight timeframe.

Order of Business (Resumed) (21 Jul 2011)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The Tánaiste said there is no official date but we are all aware that a date was mentioned at a certain party convention. If it is a later date, so be it, but there is a finite date by which the presidential election must be held because the seven years will be up. Is it possible to get a detailed timetable of what is proposed in terms of the date for the legislation, getting it through...

Order of Business (Resumed) (21 Jul 2011)

Éamon Ó Cuív: All of this takes time. Given what the Tánaiste has said, it would appear that from the time the Dáil recommences the Government has exactly one month and seven days, which is a very short timeframe to get legislation through both Houses, deal with basic issues and satisfy all the constitutional requirements for having a referendum.

Offshore Exploration (14 Sep 2011)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Question 1: To ask the Minister for Communications; Energy and Natural Resources if he intends issuing offshore oil and gas exploration licences in the near future on foot of submissions received by him in 2011; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23962/11]

Offshore Exploration (14 Sep 2011)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The Minister is no doubt aware that the Oireachtas committee intends to investigate the whole regime under which licences are granted. Is it his intention to await the conclusion of the report of the committee before issuing these licences in order that we get public agreement in regard to the terms of these licences. There is great concern in regard to this matter, some of it stirred by...

Offshore Exploration (14 Sep 2011)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I am delighted the Minister is now convinced the terms we set in 2008 are the correct ones but he did not believe that when in opposition. As he knows, the disquiet which his party tried to build up when in opposition is fairly pervasive among the public. It seems the Minister is putting short-term expediency ahead of long-term certainty. Will he confirm that if these licences are issued...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Question 4: To ask the Minister for Communications; Energy and Natural Resources if he intends giving approval to the REFIT programme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23963/11]

Alternative Energy Projects (14 Sep 2011)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Is the Minister willing to hold back on the decision in regard to the new REFIT, which is fundamentally different from the old one, until an Oireachtas committee has had a chance to examine the issue? There are people who believe that this is a great giveaway, which will give so-called suppliers, namely, big companies such as the ESB, Airtricity and Bord Gáis, a licence to print money to...

Alternative Energy Projects (14 Sep 2011)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Will the Minister leave the issue with the Commission while we examine it? Will the Minister agree that no REFIT contracts will be entered into under the new scheme pending discussion by the committee? The allegation made is that a margin is given to the supplier - not the person with the wind farm who must operate through a supplier - for virtually no risk and if the price increases the...
