Order of Business (6 Mar 2008)

Seymour Crawford: I apologise. We were promised some time ago that the attachment of fines Bill, which would allow gardaí to be deployed on the beat as opposed to being obliged to collect fines, would be introduced. Is it possible that this legislation, the intoxicating liquor Bill and the sale of alcohol Bill will be introduced in order that we might discuss that major issue? On the row between the...

World Trade Organisation: Statements (6 Mar 2008)

Seymour Crawford: I thank the Government Whip for agreeing to allow time for this debate. I sought this debate last Thursday because many things have happened regarding agriculture. Discussions were taking place outside but this House had no relevance to them. I am glad the Minister came here today and clearly laid out her stall. As Deputy Creed said, we do not have any major disagreement with her; it is...

Order of Business (12 Mar 2008)

Electricity Transmission. (12 Mar 2008)

If in respect of the 300 page document that the consultants have got, they want to consult with the people who wrote it, will they be allowed to meet them?

Telecommunications Services. (12 Mar 2008)

Seymour Crawford: Many areas in the rural constituency of Cavan-Monaghan do not have access to broadband. I accept the Minister's point on competition but this exists only in built-up areas. Whatever the Minister does to bring this process forward, I hope he recognises the urgent need for roll-out in all areas. Jobs are being lost in rural areas. The opportunity is there to provide home jobs to a certain...
