Confidence in the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government: Motion [Private Members] (25 Sep 2018)

Joan Collins: A short film, "Through the Cracks" was shown in the AV room earlier. It shows the effect this scandalous situation has on children and their mothers. I could not make it to the showing because I was at a committee meeting, but my parliamentary assistant went and was very much affected by the film. He said that every single Deputy on the opposite side of the House, namely, those in Fine...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Garda Operations (19 Sep 2018)

Joan Collins: Did the landlady employ the private security firm in question to enact the court order? Was she not supposed to get an enforcement order? The Minister says this is solely a matter for An Garda Síochána. Why did the Garda believe it necessary to send out a Garda riot squad, a public order unit, a Garda Transit Connect van and masked gardaí without identification numbers? The...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (19 Sep 2018)

Joan Collins: I will finish on this point. The Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Deputy Ross, or the Government, have the power to scrap the process. That is what should be done. If the Government does not stop the process then thousands of people will be on the streets protesting as they are very angry and members of the Government will get it in the neck.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (19 Sep 2018)

Joan Collins: When the Minister drills down into "BusDisconnects" she will see that is not what is happening. Communities are being cannibalised by the loss of routes. One example I heard about involved a person standing at a bus stop in Wellington Lane for one hour. There were three 54As, four 15As and four 150s, which is a total of 11 buses. With BusConnects there would be a combination of F1s, F2s...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: MetroLink Project: Discussion (18 Jul 2018)

Joan Collins: I thank the witnesses for attending. I will be brief. I heard Mr. Kinsella making his points on "Morning Ireland" earlier. All the points have been made and there are many questions. Mr. Kinsella's main point relates to the project going underground. Does he have a figure for that or was it ever raised by the NTA as a concept? I agree with Deputy Catherine Murphy on doing that in the future.

Last Monday week when I looked at the plan for my area, it was apparent that one would have to have the...
