Seanad: Intoxicating Liquor Bill 2003: Second Stage. (18 Jun 2003)

Ulick Burke: I warmly welcome the Bill and have no difficulty with the speed with which it has been introduced if its provisions will help in some way to reduce the abuse of alcohol, regardless of who is at fault. The sooner it is implemented the better. However, many aspects will be very difficult to implement because the Garda will be relied upon to enforce it. Good will goes out the door in situations...

Seanad: Adjournment Matters. - Industrial Disputes. (12 Jun 2003)

Ulick Burke: This issue has dragged on for ten weeks and caused enormous hardship to farming communities in the west, especially County Galway, not only with respect to permits used for the movement of cattle and the sale of livestock but also with respect to thousands of REPS application forms which have been retained in many offices since last November and not processed. This has led to a denial of...

Seanad: Adjournment Matters. - Services for People with Disabilities. (11 Jun 2003)

Ulick Burke: I thank the Cathaoirleach for selecting this item on the Adjournment and the Minister of State, Deputy Callely, for being present.

Seanad: Order of Business. (10 Jun 2003)

Ulick Burke: On numerous occasions in the past ten weeks I have asked the Leader to intercede on behalf of members of the farming community – particularly those who live on the west coast – who have suffered severe losses as a result of the ongoing strike. It is difficult to surmise the Department's position in regard to this matter and a serious situation has developed. We have seen senior officers...

Seanad: Order of Business. (29 May 2003)

Ulick Burke: In both Houses over the years, Members have been continually reminded that Ministers have little influence in the work of various agencies, such as the NRA, and that they are not responsible to the Oireachtas for the workings of those agencies. A quick glance at the NRA's recent report and the allocation of funding to local authorities clearly indicates political input and influence. It is no...

Seanad: Order of Business. (29 May 2003)

Ulick Burke: County Galway received one of the lowest allocations despite being the second largest county in Ireland. This is a disgrace and the matter must be taken up with the NRA. I took up the matter of the inaccuracies in the allocations for 2003, as shown in the appendix of the report, with the NRA yesterday but did not get much of a report on the reasons for them. The fact that a major national...
