Disposal of Animal By-product. (2 Mar 2005)

Trevor Sargent: Question 68: To ask the Minister for Agriculture and Food if her attention has been drawn to the fact that digestate from anaerobic digestion may be spread on land under certain conditions but that a statutory instrument here still prevents spreading of digestate; and if she will consider the case being put by farmers such as a person (details supplied) in County Waterford who wrote to her...

Regional Development. (2 Mar 2005)

Trevor Sargent: I realise this question will require more attention from the Minister for Transport. However, in regard to his discussions with the BMW regional assembly, will the Taoiseach inform the House whether the Government is willing to progress a development whereby a rail line might be built alongside a new road being constructed, for example, between Sligo and Bundoran, in order to take advantage...

Regional Development. (2 Mar 2005)

Trevor Sargent: I am seeking to take advantage of the fact that the line Minister is sitting beside the Taoiseach.

Departmental Bodies. (2 Mar 2005)

Trevor Sargent: Question 11: To ask the Taoiseach the progress made by the cross-departmental group on infrastructure and public private partnership; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4487/05]

Departmental Bodies. (2 Mar 2005)

Trevor Sargent: We often warn in this House of the danger of moneylenders and loan sharks. Is the Taoiseach alarmed that some PPPs are much more expensive than the public sector component? The Kilcock-Kinnegad section, for example, cost €1.1 million less per kilometre than the private sector section of that project. Is there any measure to end this type of gross profiteering from the private sector? How...

Departmental Bodies. (2 Mar 2005)

Trevor Sargent: What of the prison? Is this the case for security?

Order of Business. (2 Mar 2005)

Trevor Sargent: The promised legislation I wish to raise ties in closely with the Standing Order 31 issue raised by my colleague, Deputy Gogarty. It relates to the register of persons considered unsafe to work with children which according to the list has no publication date. In view of the fact that there are guidelines already published in Northern Ireland and the fact that my colleague Deputy Boyle was...

Order of Business. (2 Mar 2005)

Trevor Sargent: Is there a need for legislation given this situation?

Leaders' Questions. (2 Mar 2005)

Trevor Sargent: I note in today's newspapers the penitential experience of the Minister for Transport, Deputy Cullen, who was stuck at the Blanchardstown by-pass. He has my sympathies.

Leaders' Questions. (2 Mar 2005)

Trevor Sargent: Is it not clear that the rail line to Navan is overdue and must be constructed? The line should be built all the way to Navan rather than provided on a phased basis to Dunboyne. Will the Taoiseach act on the promise to construct the line? Fianna Fáil was elected in 2002 on the basis of a manifesto which promised the provision of new regional and commuter routes including a Dublin-Navan rail line.

Leaders' Questions. (2 Mar 2005)

Trevor Sargent: The manifesto referred to a Dublin-Navan line. It should be provided on the basis of the prioritisation of the reinstatement of the former inland rail route from Navan to Dublin in the 1994 Dublin transportation initiative, the 1999 strategic planning guidelines for the greater Dublin area and the DTO Platform for Change of September 2000. According to the DTO Platform for Change, a new rail...

Leaders' Questions. (2 Mar 2005)

Trevor Sargent: We did not ask the Taoiseach about that.

Leaders' Questions. (2 Mar 2005)

Trevor Sargent: Will the Taoiseach get around to answering the question?

Leaders' Questions. (2 Mar 2005)

Trevor Sargent: I do not detect from the Taoiseach any level of urgency about the matter. He says it is a good idea, and we can all speak about good ideas. However, the Government is in place to act, particularly on its promises and manifesto. Will that happen with regard to the Navan line, not just as far as Dunboyne? CSO figures published last year showed Navan as the fastest-growing large town in the...

Leaders' Questions. (2 Mar 2005)

Trevor Sargent: When did the Taoiseach last use the train?

Regional Development. (2 Mar 2005)

Trevor Sargent: Question 1: To ask the Taoiseach if he will report on his meeting with the Border, Midlands and Western Regional Assembly in December 2004; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [34618/04]

Regional Development. (2 Mar 2005)

Trevor Sargent: My question is not unlike my previous question. Did the Taoiseach indicate to the Border, Midlands and Western Regional Assembly whether he would act on his 2002 commitment to provide a western rail corridor? Is that the current Government position or has it changed? There has been a change with regard to carbon tax, even though it was in the manifesto. Is the western rail corridor on line to...
