Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: An Garda Síochána (3 Jun 2021)

Dara Calleary: I thank the Acting Chairman for his latitude. As the Minister said, this issue is happening right across the public service and we are seeing judicial cases dragging the public service to make progress on this. Let us, therefore, be proactive and try to move this forward. Can the Minister clarify the last point she raised about SI 335 of 1951? Is it a matter for the Commissioner to...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: An Garda Síochána (3 Jun 2021)

Dara Calleary: I agree with Deputy Conway-Walsh. I detect that the Minister is anxious to change it because she is dealing with the other side of the issue with her social protection hat on. We need to be embracing of experience and age, however. We should be proactive on this issue rather than being forced to act on it as a consequence of legal decisions. We have seen it going to legal fora in...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Industrial Development (3 Jun 2021)

Dara Calleary: I am asking about the situation with regard to the proposed IDA Ireland industrial park in Ballina. The project has been under way for almost 30 years and we are really no further on. Planning permission was allowed to lapse in recent years. My most recent update from the Tánaiste last January was that we would be ready for a new planning application in the third quarter of this year...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Industrial Development (3 Jun 2021)

Dara Calleary: I thank the Minister of State for his response. I am huge fan of IDA Ireland. It does extraordinary work. However, its handling of this issue has been less than satisfactory. The fact that planning was allowed to lapse in the first place does not suggest priority or urgency. As the Minister of State said, we know it is marketing the site but marketing an industrial site without planning...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Industrial Development (3 Jun 2021)

Dara Calleary: I thank the Minister of State. I reiterate that Ballina is delivering for some of the biggest corporate names in the world, including Coca-Cola, Hollister and Lionbridge. If we are given the opportunity our workforce will deliver. We cannot be part of this regional effort unless planning permission is granted. It would be even better if, once the planning permission is granted, the IDA...

National Recovery and Resilience Plan: Statements (2 Jun 2021)

Dara Calleary: I thank the Ceann Comhairle and I am sharing with Deputies O'Connor, Cahill, McAuliffe and Alan Farrell. I commend the Minister on elements of this plan but the important thing is that they are delivered upon.

Dara Calleary: I thank our two speakers. This was a very useful meeting in terms of clarity. Mr. Schlegelmilch mentioned that nothing in the agreement would preclude services. He gave the example of water coming back into public usage. He mentioned that was provided there was no discrimination. How do we define discrimination? A private company or consortium's discrimination may not be my...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Pyrite Incidence (25 May 2021)

Dara Calleary: The Minister of State has said the grant scheme targets a restricted group of homeowners who have no other practical options to access redress but this is not a practical option for many families.
