Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (10 Oct 2018)

Dara Calleary: The Taoiseach said the hotel recently advised the Department but that the Department met it only yesterday. In the meantime the residents and their families are in limbo regarding their future in two months' time, 3 December. They need certainty. They have already made a difficult journey on a difficult path and now find their future here is in somebody else's hands and they have no...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (11 Oct 2018)

Dara Calleary: Coverage of the budget and related events will probably have overshadowed the very significant speech by Mr. Michel Barnier on the withdrawal treaty and the progress achieved in that regard. I understand from his speech, as covered in a RTÉ report this morning, that some 85% of the agreement between the United Kingdom and European Union has been agreed. The remaining 15% applies...

Dara Calleary: I thank the Tánaiste for his response. That uncertainty makes it all the more important to engage the DUP. That was the core of my question. Has the Tánaiste plans to meet the DUP to reflect his proposals to it directly given that Mrs. Foster has met Mr. Barnier? She has obviously got the relationship she has with the UK Government. Do we intend to communicate the Irish...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (11 Oct 2018)

Dara Calleary: We are on the cusp of being hit by Storm Callum. Will the Minister confirm whether the national emergency co-ordination group, NECG, will meet this afternoon? In the context of what are expected to be 130 km/h winds with spring tides, there is considerable disruption forecast for the morning. As the impact of this will be felt at commuting time, when will the Government be in a position to...

Ar dtús guím gach rath ar an Aire nua, an Teachta Joe McHugh, agus ar na hAirí Stáit, na Teachtaí Seán Kyne agus Seán Canney, agus leis an Aire atá ag dul go dtí baile eile, an Teachta Richard Bruton.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Flood Prevention Measures (16 Oct 2018)

Dara Calleary: I thank the Minister of State, Deputy Kevin Boxer Moran, for being here. Last Friday morning, Belmullet and Erris were hit particularly hard by Storm Callum, which caused considerable damage in Belmullet town. In particular, the sea wall in the town was breached and the Mullet peninsula was cut off from emergency services for a time, although it was quickly repaired. The staff of Mayo...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Flood Prevention Measures (16 Oct 2018)

Dara Calleary: I acknowledge that good work has been done since 2014, particularly along the Mullet peninsula, in strengthening roads and raising bridges. This is directly related to Belmullet town and I will encourage Mayo County Council to submit an application for a minor works grant and I assume, from the Minister of State's remarks, any such application will be given a good hearing in his Department....

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (17 Oct 2018)

Dara Calleary: In recent days, to say the least, the discussions and negotiations on Brexit have been frantic. The Taoiseach said yesterday that he was confident that a deal could be negotiated, something everybody in this House wants for the country and its people. However, outside his assurances, there is huge uncertainty in the air. Depending on the report one reads or the radio interview to which one...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (17 Oct 2018)

Dara Calleary: I appreciate that all of those supports are in place, but what we and businesses need is certainty. No amount of support for LEOs or meetings in Monaghan will help a business which cannot provide certainty for its clients in the United Kingdom or beyond on supply chains. We need urgency to bring the talks to a conclusion and put a deal in place to provide that certainty. I again ask the...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (17 Oct 2018)

Dara Calleary: The Minister will be aware of the announcement by Bord na Móna yesterday that up to 150 jobs are going to go in Offaly as a consequence of restructuring and decarbonising the Bord na Móna business. This is going to have a huge impact. I know from speaking to Deputy Cowen this morning that he is particularly concerned about the impact in Offaly. What plans has the Government put...

Dara Calleary: The House will be disappointed at the lack of progress at the October European Council meeting. The issues were well discussed in the House yesterday. We hope that more progress will be made through today. This is an opportune time to pay tribute to the officials in the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade who are putting in such work for the country. This morning, I wish to focus...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (18 Oct 2018)

Dara Calleary: The Tánaiste's first comment was that there are plans. There is no shortage of plans. The difficulty is with implementation and follow-through. The plans get published and the Minister for Health does a tour of a hospital. He puts on a white coat like the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government, Deputy Murphy, puts on a hard hat for housing. Despite all the plans, 10,000...

Dara Calleary: This morning the Scottish Government has confirmed the outbreak of a case of BSE in Aberdeenshire. Were we informed about this outbreak by the Scottish Government? Does the Tánaiste have any details on it? I understand, based on Deputy McConalogue's briefing on the issue, that this is something that has happened on an annual basis nearly. What details do we have and what is the...
