Departmental Objectives. (5 Jul 2007)

International Agreements: Motion. (4 Jul 2007)

James Reilly: Having listened to the debate, it strikes me that the major problem here is the manner in which this matter has come before the Dáil and the fact that most Opposition Members feel totally uninformed. There is an awful sense of big brother about it and that is of deep concern. People will always get paranoid and upset when they do not have full information. The main problem here is the...

[i]Roads Bill 2007 [/i][[i]Seanad[/i]][b]: Committee Stage (Resumed) and Remaining Stages.[/b] (4 Jul 2007)

James Reilly: The Minister did not respond to a question I asked about disabled drivers. Is it planned to address the anomaly I identified in a previous debate, whereby disabled drivers who have not had alterations carried out on their car must pay a toll? A classic example is the requirement that a person who has lost the use of one limb and displays a disabled sticker on his or her standard, automatic...

[i]Roads Bill 2007 [/i][[i]Seanad[/i]][b]: Committee Stage (Resumed) and Remaining Stages.[/b] (4 Jul 2007)

James Reilly: Forgive me, a Cheann Comhairle, if I am not fully familiar with the procedures of the House. I propose to frame my question differently. Will the Minister accept an amendment to address the problem of disabled drivers being required to pay toll charges if their car has not been altered? Individuals whose cars have not been altered are every bit as disabled as others. They simply have a...

Job Losses. (4 Jul 2007)

James Reilly: I congratulate the Minister and the Ministers of State on their appointment. Given the increasing competitiveness faced by Irish industry and the critical importance of research and development to our future growth and competitiveness, what plans, if any, has the Minister to increase funding for research and development? More specifically, will the Minister tell us what the spending was in...

Middle East Peace Process. (3 Jul 2007)

James Reilly: Will the Minister not agree that the actions of the EU in suspending the payments through the official channels, albeit they continue them through other unofficial channels, as he pointed out to us, has not improved the situation? On the contrary, it has led to a schism down the middle of the country and internecine strife between the two communities in Palestine. Will the Minister not seek...

Middle East Peace Process. (3 Jul 2007)

James Reilly: I apologise to the Minister of State. I forgot to congratulate him on his recent appointment. I hope he fairs well in it. Can the Minister of State ask this House or the people to believe his statement that the actions of the EU in withdrawing payments to the Palestinian Authority at the time it was done did not cause a serious deterioration and contribute significantly to the current...

Written Answers — Public Transport: Public Transport (28 Jun 2007)

James Reilly: Question 86: To ask the Minister for Transport and the Marine the role his Department has in the provision of two bus services to utilise the new port tunnel; the reason the service lasted for only one day due to the lack of a licence from his Department; the reason such a public transport service needs a licence. [17999/07]

Public Transport. (28 Jun 2007)

James Reilly: I congratulate the Minister on his new appointment. His constituency adjoins mine and many of my constituents now live in his area because they cannot afford housing in ours, so difficult and expensive has it become.

Public Transport. (28 Jun 2007)

James Reilly: Tá ceist agam agus tá sé ag teacht anois. Why do we have such nonsensical red tape so that we cannot have public and private services both running together? There is plenty of precedent in health, for example, with the co-location of public and private hospitals. Are we saying that in other areas public and private enterprise cannot work hand in hand? That does not make sense. This Act...

Rail Network. (28 Jun 2007)

James Reilly: Question 9: To ask the Minister for Transport and the Marine the proposals he has to extend the DART service north of Malahide to Balbriggan, servicing Donabate, Rush, Lusk, Skerries and Balbriggan; the timescale for the provision of such a service; and if he will ensure the planned metro service connects to the main rail line at Donabate [17998/07]

Rail Network. (28 Jun 2007)

James Reilly: I am sure the Minister, being from the neighbouring constituency, will be aware of the major infrastructural deficit in Dublin North generally, affecting schools, policing, roads and public transport. Allowing Dublin Port to make a decision in isolation should not be allowed because of its impact on the local road and rail infrastructure. Currently in Moylaragh in Balbriggan, children are...
