John Deasy: What kind of analysis is carried out by the RSA as a matter of course to determine whether legislation is effective or ineffective? Surely this is pretty landmark legislation when it comes to road safety. An appreciable period of time has passed since the enactment of that legislation. Is there a set period of time for the RSA and the Garda Síochána to determine its effectiveness?

John Deasy: If other people want to be at part of that meeting to make it cross-party, it should be done in that way.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Jun 2014)

John Deasy: For years in Waterford, if this makes any sense, the port in Waterford was suing CIE until somebody realised, after Ministers got involved to no avail, that they were effectively two State bodies. People asked the very realistic and reasonable question, "Why the hell is the State spending millions of euro, time and energy dealing with something that involves two State bodies?" The people we...

Written Answers — Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht: Commemorative Events (18 Jun 2014)

John Deasy: 104. To ask the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht the commemorative activities and projects the Government has planned to mark the centenary of each of the following events, the passage into law of the Home Rule Act on 18 September 1914; the outbreak of the First World War on 4 August 1914; the Easter Rising in April 1916; the first sitting of Dáil Éireann and the...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (12 Jun 2014)

John Deasy: The Chairman made the point that he must separate both applications because they are completely different but also that there is no case for the Committee on Procedure and Privileges to deny remit to this committee when it comes to the SIPTU and Merrigan application. Is that what the Chairman is saying?

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (12 Jun 2014)

John Deasy: They should be given an opportunity to respond to that. These are separate applications and it was our opinion, with regard to the comments of the Chairman on the work done by the committee, that this committee was within its jurisdiction and remit in its application. The committee should be asked to respond to that. The other point is more complicated and I can see where the committee is...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (12 Jun 2014)

John Deasy: We should outline the timeline for this. We should ask that this be done and resolved before the recess.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (12 Jun 2014)

John Deasy: Having looked at this matter and listened to everybody, I wish to make a suggestion. This is the first application that has been, or first applications that have been, made with regard to compellability. Therefore, it is not that surprising that the CPP would have questions with regard to an application and details. Why not take it up on the points we have made? With regard to the detail...

John Deasy: Will the clerk clarify the communications he has had with the Committee on Procedure and Privileges in this regard? What is meant by "additional information"? Has it been made clear?

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (12 Jun 2014)

John Deasy: I understand that. Is it that we were not specific enough with regard to the specific information sought from the HSE?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: European Commission Country Specific Recommendations: Discussion (10 Jun 2014)

John Deasy: I accept that good work was done on regional aid guidelines. The Minister has spent an awful lot of time on the south east. I accept that site visits have increased and unemployment figures have gone down significantly. I was trying to pinpoint one thing, and I think I got the answer I wanted from the Minister. This occurred back in 1996 when Deputy Bruton was Minister. Regardless of...

John Deasy: Obviously Bausch and Lomb is an IDA Ireland-backed company. The issue of the IDA and its contingent in Waterford has been spoken about much, particularly regarding its lack of results. I did a bit of checking recently. Before 1996, there was a regional IDA manager for the south east, based in Waterford. That position was moved to Cork then. At the time, plenty of people, including those...
