Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Electricity Transmission Network (31 Jan 2013)

Clare Daly: In effect, the Minister is trying to say that any problems there might be are for the company, not for him. He then goes on to minimise the scale of the problems as they exist. Contrary to the assertions in the Minister's answer, the east-west interconnector was commercially inoperable for three months after its official launch. Since December, it has operated at approximately half its...

It is wrong to claim that this is a question of a few technical matters. We are discussing the fact that a multi-million-euro project has been delayed for six months to date, yet the Minister expects us to believe it is a only a matter of the usual...

Other Questions: Commercial Rates Calculations (5 Feb 2013)

Clare Daly: Development levies have nothing to do with this at all. The Minister mentioned the Valuation (Amendment)(No. 2) Bill on a number of occasions but there are problems with it. There has been an inordinate delay in bringing it before us. Six months is the difference between a small business going under and surviving. My experience is that local authorities are not flexible. They tell...

Other Questions: Property Taxation (5 Feb 2013)

Clare Daly: There is a contradiction in what the Minister said in terms of his statement that this so-called misnamed property tax is to provide a secure funding base for local authorities and his proposal to bill local authorities for 130,000 units. The dogs in the street know that cost will be passed on to tenants. Many local authorities have already done so. Against the backdrop of massive rent...
