- Multi-Unit Developments Bill 2009 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed) (8 Jul 2010)
John Moloney: There is no provision under the Planning and Development Acts or the Building Control Acts to allow planning authorities to require performance bonds to ensure snagging of multi-unit developments. The question of whether planning authorities should be given such added responsibilities could only be considered following an assessment by the Minister and Department as to whether the adopting...
- Multi-Unit Developments Bill 2009 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed) (8 Jul 2010)
John Moloney: I thank Deputies for their contribution to the debate. It is clear the Government's objective of ensuring fair, efficient and effective management of bodies responsible for the management of common areas in multi-unit developments which the proposals in the Bill are designed to achieve are broadly shared on all sides of the House. While Deputies were broadly supportive of the Bill's...
- Services for People with Disabilities (7 Jul 2010)
John Moloney: I thank the Deputies for raising this matter. I recognise other Deputies had an interest in it also. I am not in the business of pulling the wool over anybody's eyes; that goes without saying. I will refer to the meeting today. It is a pity Deputy Jan O'Sullivan made the point this is a matter of having meeting after meeting but it must be a matter of meetings. That is why the meeting...

- Services for People with Disabilities (7 Jul 2010)
John Moloney: May I finish my point? In the context of today's meeting, the fact that the brothers were experiencing difficulties led me to suggest that the HSE should sit down with them to find the base line if they could not provide the service, providing it should be possible in the context of a budget of â¬30 million and the brothers committed to doing this today. While I respect Deputy O'Donnell's...

- Services for People with Disabilities (7 Jul 2010)
John Moloney: I wish to be clear. Deputy O'Donnell asked whether I had set a timeframe. At the morning meeting with the brothers, I put it to them that I could not accept that the centre would be closed for the sake of â¬150,000 out of a budget of â¬25 million to â¬30 million. To be fair to them, they responded to the effect that they would re-examine the scenario as regards the specific level of...

John Moloney: I do not need to make contact with the brothers because they are committed to providing resources to continue the respite care. The commitment given by the Taoiseach and me this morning was to restore respite services. I am not trying to play with words, but I understand last week's meeting with the HSE in Galway used the terminology of â¬2 million in savings rather than cuts. There was...

- Special Educational Needs (7 Jul 2010)
John Moloney: I am replying to this Adjournment matter on behalf of the Tánaiste and Minister for Education and Skills. The Education for Persons with Special Educational Needs Act 2004 requires all children with special educational needs shall be educated in an inclusive environment with children who do not have such needs, unless the nature or degree of the need is such that to do so would be...
