Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Committee Stage (16 Jan 2019)

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Committee Stage (16 Jan 2019)

Clare Daly: It is very dangerous for us, when we are going to win a vote on this amendment, to accept a promise of consultation later on. In accepting the Minister's promise of consultation, if we agree a better wording I will definitely support the new amendment. At the moment, however, my wording is the best wording in town. If the Minister wants to come along and change that afterwards, if it is...

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Committee Stage (16 Jan 2019)

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Committee Stage (16 Jan 2019)

Clare Daly: I move amendment No. 54: In page 14, line 15, after “defer,” to insert “if immediate implementation is not possible and”. I am confused myself with these amendments now. Again, this is partially linked to the last amendment we dealt with a minute ago. It seemed to me that there were clauses in the Bill whereby a recommendation of the authority could be...

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Committee Stage (16 Jan 2019)

Clare Daly: Did the Minister answer anything? Both of my colleagues made excellent points and articulated the issue better than I did. This is about noise mitigation so our objective is to get the noise-mitigation measures in place as early as possible. I agree with Deputy Troy's point that implementation can take time, but stopping a certain activity could be done immediately. That is why I included...

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Committee Stage (16 Jan 2019)

Clare Daly: This is fundamental. We want an independent competent authority that is capable of making decisions. We all want that and nobody is being ridiculous here saying he or she expects everything to be implemented immediately. There are practical considerations that militate against that happening but what we do not want is what Deputy Brendan Ryan highlighted, namely, the use of some nefarious...

Clare Daly: I move amendment No. 68: In page 18, line 19, after “decision” where it firstly occurs to insert “, provided it publishes in writing the reasons for its failure,”. I apologise, I am completely lost. We have been here too long and I am supposed to be in about ten other bloody places.

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Committee Stage (16 Jan 2019)

Clare Daly: The amendment just requires that the reason for a decision be given in writing. I do not see anything wrong with that. It would be unusual circumstances where the board would not make the decision in the appropriate timeframe, and this amendment means that the board would be required to explain in writing why it had failed to meet its own guidelines on time. It would not stop them from...
