Sea-Fisheries and Maritime Jurisdiction Bill 2005: Second Stage. (17 Nov 2005)

John Perry: Fine Gael in Government will repeal this Bill, which proposes to categorise as criminals fishermen and those working in a key traditional industry, and imposes a range of fines which are punitive and vindictive and come on top of a range of fines which are already the highest in the EU. This is our commitment. A serious debate on the future direction of our fishing industry is long overdue in...

Sea-Fisheries and Maritime Jurisdiction Bill 2005: Second Stage. (17 Nov 2005)

John Perry: As Deputy O'Flynn, who is Chairman of the Joint Committee on Communications, Marine and Natural Resources, has said, it would be like a third world war, or it could be like going back to the days of Queen Victoria. We need a Bill that is progressive and that will be acceptable to stakeholders. At a time when the Irish fishing fleet is already suffering because of outside issues such as rising...

Sea-Fisheries and Maritime Jurisdiction Bill 2005: Second Stage. (17 Nov 2005)

John Perry: We were told in a letter from Mr. Tuohy that failure to enact this Bill would leave the taxpayers seriously exposed to multi-million euro sanctions from Brussels, yet the committee was told quite clearly during a visit to the EU Commission last week that this was not the case. If the Browne case is so urgent, why is the Taoiseach not bringing every other Minister in here to introduce...

Sea-Fisheries and Maritime Jurisdiction Bill 2005: Second Stage. (17 Nov 2005)

John Perry: Similarly, if the consolidation and streamlining of the legislation passed since the 1959 Act was the intention, this would have been a sensible move. The issues pertaining to the imposition of fines could have been dealt with differently and the Supreme Court case could have been dealt with. This should have been applied in all Departments. However, this Bill uses these pretexts to enshrine...

Employees (Provision of Information and Consultation) Bill 2005 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed). (17 Nov 2005)

John Perry: This Bill comes to us from Europe and is part of a suite of workers' rights legislation. As we can see from the guidelines regarding Irish Ferries, workers' rights must be enforced and constantly updated. We need to be able to deal with new issues as they arise and while we have solid protection measures in place for employees, there will always be a minority of employers who will try to find...

Requests to move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 31. (22 Nov 2005)

John Perry: I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the decision taken by the company Tractech in Sligo to close its plant, with the consequent loss of 122 jobs. The closure of the Tractech plant is a massive loss to the north west and Sligo, especially given that this announcement comes less than three months after 560 jobs were lost...

Order of Business. (22 Nov 2005)

John Perry: On No. 14, the motion re the fisheries boards, I am very disappointed. That report was compiled over two years by consultants but there was little or no consultation on it. It concerns the amalgamation of the seven central fishery boards and the removal of the research facility to the Marine Institute. It is very disappointing that this is happening. This runs contrary to the ethos of...

Job Losses. (22 Nov 2005)

John Perry: Which Minister is taking this matter?

Job Losses. (22 Nov 2005)

John Perry: With respect to the Minister of State, I am astonished. Where is the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Deputy Martin, or the Minister of State, Deputy Killeen? Deputy Tim O'Malley holds a health portfolio. It demonstrates the arrogance of the Government that it sends a Minister of State at the Department of Health and Children in to answer on an issue where 120 jobs are being...

John Perry: When are they coming?

Job Losses. (22 Nov 2005)

John Perry: This speech is totally irrelevant. It does not answer the problems of Sligo. I can take no more of this speech. It does not deal with the issues of Sligo. It is totally out of order. I cannot take any more of this tripe.
