Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Ports Policy (19 Sep 2018)

James Browne: I have raised the issue of Rosslare Europort every second week since my election. The port makes €2.5 million profit annually. It is not only self-sufficient but it is very profitable. However, it looks like a ghost town because it is owned by Iarnród Éireann which sucks the profit out of it and puts it in to subsidise other parts of its railway network which it is not...

In the past, deaths relating to maternity care that should...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (20 Sep 2018)

James Browne: My matter is focused on the general issues and the lack of services for child mental health throughout the country. For example, more than 6,500 children were waiting for a primary care psychology appointment at the end of May 2018. Some 1,700 of them had been waiting for more than a year to be seen. Demand for child and adolescent mental health services, CAMHS, is increasing; almost...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (20 Sep 2018)

The Government refuses to extend the National...

National Monuments (The Moore Street Battlefield) Bill 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (20 Sep 2018)

James Browne: I grew up in Enniscorthy under Vinegar Hill on songs and stories of 1798 and 1916. The tricolour first flew in Enniscorthy on 7 March 1848, the same day Thomas Francis Meagher flew it in Waterford city. A plaque was erected at the cathedral in 1968 to mark that event. There is a great deal of history and heritage in my home town of Enniscorthy. The Moore Street area is a central part...

James Browne: I welcome the witnesses and thank them for being here today. I appreciate the witnesses are not responsible for policy but are merely implementing it.

Nonetheless, Mr. Kent and Ms Flynn are here and I have questions to put. There is a lot of...

Local Government (Restoration of Town Councils) Bill 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (26 Sep 2018)

James Browne: I welcome Fianna Fáil's support of this Bill. It is similar to a Fianna Fáil Bill that was produced last year. Some 80 town councils and almost 750 town councillors were effectively abolished by the last Government. This idea was not merely created or endorsed, it was actually championed as a populist move. It fundamentally undermined democracy. We were told it would save a lot...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Solar Energy Guidelines (27 Sep 2018)

James Browne: The Minister of State's last statement is absolutely bizarre. The chairman of An Bord Pleanála has sought solar energy planning guidelines and has argued that they are needed.
