Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Report Stage (13 Feb 2019)

Robert Troy: If we were to go back to the drawing board, as some people are suggesting, we would prolong this for another 12 months. It has taken 12 months to reach this point and prolonging the process for another 12 months would result in any decision taken being adjudicated by An Bord Pleanála. To be fair, that body has been more than favourable to the area's residents in the past. Dublin...

Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Report Stage (13 Feb 2019)

Robert Troy: I would appreciate that. I proposed an amendment that was not supported by the Opposition parties. I respect their right to make their decisions on what they perceive to be right, just as I am entitled to make my decision on behalf of the party. I have not hidden that at any stage. I am also entitled to argue why I made that decision. My biggest problem with Fingal County Council from...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Tax Code (14 Feb 2019)

Robert Troy: While I welcome the fact the Minister is undertaking the review, that he is waiting until July to publish it is simply not good enough. Ten shops have already closed since 1 January. That is 50 jobs lost since then. Nine of the ten shops are independent bookmakers, not multinationals but small, family-owned businesses. There are about 50 other small, independent bookmakers hanging on by...
