Seanad: Harbours and Piers (18 Feb 2010)

Cecilia Keaveney: I thank the Cathaoirleach for allowing me raise the need for the Minister with responsibility for the marine to explain why moneys are not available this year to progress work on Greencastle Harbour, County Donegal. Work in the harbour has ceased, leaving a potentially dangerous situation. I recognise that as the Minister of State with direct line responsibility, Deputy Killeen has taken a...

Seanad: Harbours and Piers (18 Feb 2010)

Cecilia Keaveney: It is clear from the Minister of State's response that the issue is indeed the lack of co-funding coming from the council. In the interests of everyone, it is very important that the Minister should meet within the next week with council officials, councillors and fishing representatives. There seem to be cross-messages on the issue, but the bigger issue is more important, namely, how we...

Cecilia Keaveney: I am very interested in contributing to this debate. I am more fascinated because of where I came from this morning, which was the British Irish Interparliamentary Assembly meeting in Cavan. The speakers there included the Governor of the Central Bank, the Taoiseach, Fachtna Murphy of the Garda Síochána, Matt Baggott of the PSNI and Declan Kelly, US special economic envoy to the North....

Seanad: Water and Sewerage Schemes (25 Feb 2010)

Cecilia Keaveney: I thank the Cathaoirleach for selecting my issue. I appreciate the presence of the Minister of State, Deputy Killeen. He might believe that the marine, which he is in charge of, is unrelated to the environment, but he would not be right, as my Adjournment matter is on two sewerage schemes, one in Newtowncunningham and another in my home town of Moville. I will start with the latter, given...

Seanad: Water and Sewerage Schemes (25 Feb 2010)

Cecilia Keaveney: I hope the Minister of State can get the information for me without my needing to use a freedom of information request. From the Department's records, I would like the exact details of the timeline for the Moville sewerage scheme. The Minister of State remarked: "I understand that Donegal County Council has completed a preliminary report for the scheme, but an EIS must also be prepared"....

Seanad: Criminal Justice (Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing) Bill 2009: Second Stage (2 Mar 2010)

Cecilia Keaveney: I am not an expert in this field by any manner or means. I come from an area close to the North where there are always insinuations or feelings that we could be surrounded by criminal activity. Sometimes one notes people who do not seem to have any credible means but who own a lot of property nevertheless. The border between County Donegal and Northern Ireland is very fluid. At the recent...
