Clare Daly: My point is that this is a new function that the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission is being given. It needs to be done effectively.

Clare Daly: I do not think it is enough. The Minister has said he is giving it a 1% increase in funding to take on this enormous extra task. I would be concerned that it is not enough.

Other Questions: EU Regulations (24 Apr 2018)

Clare Daly: A number of months ago, to the surprise of the community and many of its representatives, the Minister announced that he would appoint Fingal County Council and An Bord Pleanála as the competent authority and appeals body for the implementation of EU Regulation 598/2014. What is the status of that? What is the budget? How much has been spent? What progress has been made? We have not...

Other Questions: EU Regulations (24 Apr 2018)

Clare Daly: That was a gob-smackingly shocking answer in some ways. Here we have a measure which was put forward to supposedly protect airport communities from airport noise through the establishment of a competent authority and which was years in the making.

Other Questions: EU Regulations (24 Apr 2018)

Clare Daly: There is a difference between meeting people and listening to them. The problem is that things are happening or nothing is happening, and it is very hard to get a straightforward answer because the Minister appointed Fingal County Council.
