Other Questions: Garda Stations (23 May 2018)

Eamon Scanlon: There is no doubt that the increase in Garda numbers is very welcome. In Tubbercurry, a Garda station was built for a sergeant and two gardaí but there are now two sergeants, eight gardaí and two bean gardaí, which is totally unsuitable. There is a building next door to the Garda station that is up for sale. It was used by the national Ceantair Laga Árd-Riachtanais,...

Residential Tenancies (Student Rents, Rights and Protection) Bill 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (29 May 2018)

Eamon Scanlon: I wish to lend my support to the Bill. I thank Deputy Ó Broin and Deputy Funchion for bringing the Bill to the House tonight. I fully support the Bill to expand the provision of rent pressure zones to cover purpose-built student accommodation. The Bill basically reflects an identical Fianna Fáil measure brought in by Deputy Darragh O'Brien. The measure would apply the provisions...

Other Questions: Farm Data (30 May 2018)

Eamon Scanlon: I fully agree with Deputy Kenny's sentiments in saying that dairy farmers have done well and the figures for 2017 look reasonable. We have come through a horrendous winter, and the Minister knows what farmers had to deal with. I am sure the income will be well down in the 2018 figures. The new CAP should be more flexible for people. I have a constituent who is a married man with five...

Topical Issue Debate: Public Procurement Contracts (30 May 2018)

Eamon Scanlon: I have a solicitor's letter regarding a company which presented in the High Court with a petition for examinership on 16 January. On 3 May, the scheme was approved by order of court with an effective date set as 14 June 2018. Four companies have been in contact with me in regard to moneys owed. The Minister of State and I met a gentleman from that part of the world in Arigna a number of...

Topical Issue Debate: Public Procurement Contracts (30 May 2018)

Eamon Scanlon: I will be brief. Deputy Cahill covered most of what I want to say. Since the company came out of examinership, that company has been paid €700,000 for some of the contracts that were already done and where subcontractors were not paid. This is another issue. As Deputy Cahill said, when a person is owed €70,000 and gets €1,200, he or she has no hope of surviving in...

I recognise the fact that he is committed to the project and we are all looking forward to work on the road starting, hopefully at the end of this year.

Other Questions: Road Projects (12 Jun 2018)

Eamon Scanlon: I welcome the fact that approval has been given because it is crucial for the region for the road to be put in place to facilitate the building of factories. There is a greater chance of getting companies when buildings are available than when there is no building for them to move into. I welcome the fact that the funding is in place. I am sure the county council has been informed and that...

Other Questions: Road Projects (12 Jun 2018)
