Salmon Management Programmes. (7 Nov 2006)

Jerry Cowley: The predicament of drift net fishermen is another blow to people living in coastal communities. These are a finite number of fishermen eking out a living. They are mostly to be found along the west coast, and particularly in County Mayo. They have been treated in an unfair manner. This is something that has been in the pipeline for some time and perhaps it should have been introduced...

Ceisteanna — Questions (8 Nov 2006)

Jerry Cowley: On the issue of why people do not return census of population forms, perhaps the Minister of State would give consideration to the fact that people do not think it worthwhile to return them. On the basis of the census, the National Development Plan 2000-2006 was drawn up, on which there is an underspend of €3.7 billion. This includes an underspend of €500 million on our roads. When...

Ceisteanna — Questions (8 Nov 2006)

Jerry Cowley: Since the census has shown a growth of population in my area, including immigrants, as mentioned by the Minister of State, what hope have they got and what hope have we got given that the National Development Plan 2000-2006 is coming to an end at the end of next month?

Ceisteanna — Questions (8 Nov 2006)

Jerry Cowley: Can people have any more hope when they return the census of population form that the information gleaned from it will make a difference, given that it has not made a difference so far in view of the underspend of €3.65 billion under the national development plan?

Order of Business (8 Nov 2006)

Jerry Cowley: Will the Minister comment on an independent public commission of inquiry into the proper position for the Corrib gas project? It is clear there is a need for community consent. When I was in Norway last year they said there is no way a project like that could go ahead without community consent. Is there any way the Minister can examine this legislation——

Order of Business (8 Nov 2006)

Jerry Cowley: Hopefully, consent can be determined because where it is determined to locate the Corrib gas project is not in the interests of Mayo, its people or this country.
