Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill 2017: Committee Stage (28 Feb 2018)

Robert Troy: The amendment is in order because it relates to the alcohol elements of this Bill. It raises the question of whether further amendments that may be introduced at a later stage not specifically related to alcohol will be accepted. Is it "Yes" or "No"? We will need clarification on that and perhaps the Chairman and clerk can get that clarification by the time we get to the specific section.

My position has not changed and I believe the penalty being introduced by the Minister is disproportionate to the offence. I put it on record that I will bring forward an amendment on Report Stage that would see somebody falling within the 50 mg to 80...

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill 2017: Committee Stage (28 Feb 2018)

I am not minimising the loss of life, as I am sure the Minister will acknowledge. I accept his bona fides, but why, if automatic disqualification is seen as a deterrent, are 94% of-----

Consumer Protection (Regulation of Credit Servicing Firms) (Amendment) Bill 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (6 Mar 2018)

Robert Troy: Three weeks ago, people were horrified when they read in the Irish Independentthat Permanent TSB was to sell off 20,000 mortgages. Family homes, small businesses and farmers were going to be left to deal with vulture funds, unregulated bodies whose sole desire is profit at all costs.
