It is also provided in the Schedule that the Dublin Airport authority will appoint authorised...

Seanad: Council of Europe Development Bank Bill 2004: Second Stage. (25 Nov 2004)

Brendan Daly: This is very important legislation. We were one of the founder members of the Council of Europe. My criticism is that it has taken us 50 years to get involved in this bank, which is designed specifically to help the poorest of the poor in developing countries. This modest contribution as part of Ireland's overseas development aid is extremely welcome, and we should expand it. Perhaps the...

Seanad: Council of Europe Development Bank Bill 2004: Second Stage. (25 Nov 2004)
