Chapter 7 - EU Refunds and Levies in the Agriculture Sector (16 Feb 2017) Bobby Aylward: -----for when they do not have their accounts. We are talking about 2015, and the two Deputies here spoke strongly about it. Should there not be some reprimand made rather than continually paying out money? A figure of many millions of euro was mentioned. Should these organisations be getting this money if they do not come up to scratch? Should the Department withhold the funding? I know...

- Public Accounts Committee: 2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (23 Feb 2017) Bobby Aylward: I will start with a matter to which nearly every speaker has referred, namely, Expressway services. Being a rural Deputy, I am aware of the importance of such services. I come from Kilkenny. Expressway services are important for connectivity in rural Ireland. We have PSO lines, many of which go to Dublin. The format for Expressway should be changed. I am speaking about the south east....

Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (23 Feb 2017) Bobby Aylward: All those services were in place when the old road structure was there. They were the national primary routes. When the motorway was built, they were not changed. We opened the services to private contractors but they are taking the cream. They are not under obligation to go to the small villages and towns off the motorway that are in need of services. We need to change the criteria fast...

Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (23 Feb 2017) Bobby Aylward: My understanding is that is not working. Old people are being put in minibuses, etc. I am talking about existing services, with buses of 45 or 50 seats, that go to Dublin. The luxury buses are being taken away and a substandard services would be substituted. That will not work. Rural Ireland deserves its whack too from the PSO. Much of it goes to Dublin, although I know there are 1.2...

Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (23 Feb 2017) Bobby Aylward: I will move on to regional airports, which have been touched on. I am being very parochial in mentioning Waterford regional airport again. There are four regional airports getting subsistence of €12 million. Is that correct? There are probably eight or nine regional airports in total in Ireland. What criteria was used to give subsistence to four regional airports and why was...
