Post-European Council Meetings: Statements (27 Mar 2019)

Clare Daly: Not all pigs are equal.

Post-European Council Meetings: Statements (27 Mar 2019)

Clare Daly: When international law is ignored, the slippery slope starts and there is a certain irony in the fact that hot on the heels of the attempts of the US State to gift Venezuela to itself against all precedent in Venezuelan and international law, it followed it up with a claim to gift the Golan Heights to Israel. I welcome the fact that on the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade's website...

Post-European Council Meetings: Statements (27 Mar 2019)

Clare Daly: I know that it is difficult having everybody ask a series of questions in one go and the Minister of State answer them in one go. It is not the best way to deal with them. First, in terms of the Golan Heights and any discussions that have taken place regarding the impact on our troops going back out there as a result of the US's unilateral declaration and decision that it has decided that it...

Beef Sector: Motion (27 Mar 2019)

Clare Daly: I too welcome this discussion. We have a crisis in agriculture. It is real in terms of the impact on the environment and on the farmers' livelihoods and for the reason outlined by Deputy Niall Collins. He made an interesting observation in pointing out that years ago, a discussion on farming would have seen the Chamber full but there are very few Deputies present for this debate. The...

Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (27 Mar 2019)

Clare Daly: I move amendment No. 86:In page 45, line 23, after “failures,” to insert “including the imposition of financial penalties”. The Labour Party has tabled similar amendments in this category. We are dealing with matters such as compliance reports whereby the competent authority can come up with proposals to avoid or reduce failures. This relates to giving the...

Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (27 Mar 2019)

Clare Daly: The matters in the letter have not been addressed, but luckily there will be other opportunities later on. I will return to some of Deputy Brendan Ryan's points; he is totally correct. The Minister has made no argument whatsoever, legal or otherwise, as to why these amendments cannot be agreed. Nobody is arguing for the deletion of the court action remedy. It still stands. If the...

Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (27 Mar 2019)

Clare Daly: The Minister has a fundamental misunderstanding of some of the measures that the competent authority will employ. It is not just a case of fines or High Court action against the DAA. That could be the case for a large, fundamental breach but some of the breaches we are speaking about might be one-off occasions where the body responsible for the breach might not be the DAA but rather, say,...

Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (27 Mar 2019)

Clare Daly: I will not say much. I will be interested to hear what the Minister's response is because the points have been very well made. This was put forward coming out of the spirit of a good amendment that was passed on Committee Stage but in the hope of making it better and to give the added security as Deputy Darragh O'Brien said, which is demanded by residents because we are talking about...

Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (27 Mar 2019)

Clare Daly: I move amendment No. 93:In page 47, to delete lines 24 to 29 and substitute the following: “(4) The competent authority may impose a financial penalty for failure to comply with a relevant provision.”. I thought this was identical to amendment No. 86, in case the clerk thinks I was trying to cod him. I see there is a difference but I am happy to withdraw it on the basis that...

Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (27 Mar 2019)

Clare Daly: I move amendment No. 94:In page 48, to delete lines 7 to 20. I am not going to make a big deal out of this but I find this an utterly mad section and I would really like some clarity on it. I am looking just to remove it. What we are talking about here is a scenario in which the competent authority has issued an enforcement notice against a company, meaning they have gone through all the...

Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (27 Mar 2019)

Clare Daly: It does not do that. If the competent authority goes to the court to seek an enforcement order, as in any court case where something is sought against somebody, that person has the right to defend himself or herself. That is in place. They can of course argue against what the competent authority is doing. This provides that when the competent authority has done that, it can go to the...

Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (27 Mar 2019)

Clare Daly: I know it is the 11th hour, but I think this is an affront to the residents and to the stakeholders in this process. The Minister stated that everybody has access to the courts. In theory, that is obviously the case. However, it is not the case in reality. An individual is not a big semi-State organisation and has to fund a challenge himself or herself. The legislation gives the big...
