Other Questions: Shannon Airport Facilities (6 Nov 2013)

Mick Wallace: Section 317 of the Defence Act 1954 states: "No person shall, save with the consent in writing of a Minister of State, enter or land in the State while wearing any foreign uniform." Only a few years ago, our current President, Mr. Michael D. Higgins, described statements by the then Government in respect of Shannon as one untruth followed by another. What is the cost relating to the...

Other Questions: Shannon Airport Facilities (6 Nov 2013)

Mick Wallace: I have as much respect for the likes of Vladimir Putin and what he does to disturb world peace as I have for Barack Obama, Islamic militants, Israel or whomever. I am opposed to all forms of terrorism, be they perpetrated by an individual or a state. In March 2011, the Labour Party - Fine Gael's partner in government - stated that it would be enforcing The Hague convention on neutrality....

Other Questions: Shannon Airport Facilities (6 Nov 2013)

Mick Wallace: A few years ago, the current Tánaiste wondered why the then Government had not complied with a request from the Human Rights Commission to inspect aircraft travelling through Shannon. The Minister states that this use of the airport is good for business. I accept that it is good for business but at what price? Let us not forget that plenty of civilians pass through Shannon. If we are...

Cannabis Regulation: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (6 Nov 2013)

Mick Wallace: The argument has changed on cannabis regulation. Ecuador has decriminalised the drug and Uruguay has recently become the first country to introduce a legal, regulated market for cannabis, with a focus on putting drug traffickers out of business. In the US, Colorado and Washington State have voted to legalise recreational cannabis use. In August, the New York City Comptroller's office...

Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Companies Bill 2012: Committee Stage (Resumed) (6 Nov 2013)

Mick Wallace: I move amendment No. 146: In page 938, between lines 36 and 37, to insert the following: “1233. (1) An unlimited company shall disclose by the filing of a notification with the Companies Registration Office a list of all members which are limited companies, and their respective number of allocated shares.(2) Subsection (1) shall apply to all body corporate members, wheresoever...

Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Companies Bill 2012: Committee Stage (Resumed) (6 Nov 2013)

Mick Wallace: The Minister of State has indicated that all this information is freely available to the public, but I know some people who would beg to differ, as they were on the receiving end. They got some very big surprises when trouble came around. Perhaps there are ways of accessing the information and these people were not au fait with those processes. The Minister of State has stated that this...

Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Companies Bill 2012: Committee Stage (Resumed) (6 Nov 2013)

Mick Wallace: Nobody is saying there should not be unlimited companies. There is a choice, which is fine. We are talking about unlimited companies that are not really unlimited but have the protection of limited companies. There is a cloak, and nobody knows where the company is in a financial sense. These companies may not be unlimited as they engage limited shareholdings offshore. They become limited...

Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Companies Bill 2012: Committee Stage (Resumed) (6 Nov 2013)

Other Questions: Sports Capital Programme Applications (7 Nov 2013)

Mick Wallace: When does the Minister expect the money to be allocated? How much does he think will be allocated? Some say the allocation was successful last time. It was for some, but most of the money in Wexford went to a privileged few. This time, would it be possible for people to find out if their applications are not as perfect as they should be, which would give them a second chance to rectify...

Finance (No. 2) Bill 2013: Second Stage (Resumed) (7 Nov 2013)

Mick Wallace: The State funded the Telesis report in 1982 and the Culliton report in 1992. The Telesis report emphasised the inadequacies of an industrial strategy based on foreign investment. It prescribed substantial reductions in grants for foreign firms, with an increase in aid for indigenous firms which were exporting or could be expected to increase exports. Little was done to change Irish policy...

Written Answers — Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport: Public Service Obligation Services (7 Nov 2013)

Mick Wallace: 51. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the analysis he has undertaken into the impact of the ending of Dublin Bus's five year public service obligation contract in 2014 and the reduction of its subsidy by a further €4.5 million; if he will ensure that this will not be another taxi style deregulation; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
