Electoral (Amendment) Bill 2005: Second Stage (Resumed). (27 Apr 2005)

John Perry: I wish to share time with Deputy Timmins. I am delighted to speak on the Electoral (Amendment) Bill. As Deputy Devins said, it is a major issue of contention in Sligo and, in particular, Leitrim. The counties furthest from Dublin suffer because of their geographical location. The decision to divide Leitrim has been attributed to the independent commission and obviously one must take its view...

Electoral (Amendment) Bill 2005: Second Stage (Resumed). (27 Apr 2005)

John Perry: It is the only county to be completely divided in this review. Areas of some counties, such as Westmeath, will be transferred into other constituencies. This is another statistic that can be added to Leitrim's long history of neglect and disadvantage, which has been redressed in recent years. The level of development in north Leitrim has been significant. I believe Tesco is to open in...

It is the role of the Opposition to debate such issues on Committee Stage and the fact the...

Sea Pollution (Hazardous Substances) (Compensation) Bill 2000 changed from Sea Pollution (Hazardous and Noxious Substances) (Civil Liability and Compensation) Bill 2000: Report and Final Stages. (27 Apr 2005)

John Perry: I move amendment No. 4: In page 8, line 29, after "section" to insert "9 or". Section 4 deals with what is known as the Henry VIII provision. Article 15.2° of the Constitution provides that the sole and exclusive power of making laws is vested in the Oireachtas. To seek to confer a power on a Minister which would allow him or her to make regulations which would amend an Act is fundamentally...

(2) When considering a request under subsection (1), the Minister shall have regard to the welfare of the: (a) passengers; (b) crew; (c) ship; (d)...

Sea Pollution (Hazardous Substances) (Compensation) Bill 2000 changed from Sea Pollution (Hazardous and Noxious Substances) (Civil Liability and Compensation) Bill 2000: Report and Final Stages. (27 Apr 2005)

John Perry: I am disappointed because the Minister of State should examine the Sea Pollution Bill 1991. Perhaps he will clarify if there were any breaches of the legislation. We all hear about legislation being enacted, but if there are breaches of the legislation, very often there are no prosecutions or follow-up. We are all aware of the aquaculture Bill. When it comes to hazardous waste and substance,...

John Perry: We are referring to compensation and liability, which is very important. Compensation is based on a charge. I would like to know if prosecutions were brought under the 1991 legislation. There have been several offenders but few or no prosecutions. We are talking about compensation but the Bill deals mainly with giving effect to the International Convention on Liability and Compensation for...

Sea Pollution (Hazardous Substances) (Compensation) Bill 2000 changed from Sea Pollution (Hazardous and Noxious Substances) (Civil Liability and Compensation) Bill 2000: Report and Final Stages. (27 Apr 2005)

John Perry: I support Deputy Broughan's amendment. The detention of ships is an important issue. Powers are being conferred on the authority, the inspectorate or whoever is policing this work. As the section is worded what is the definition of "suspects" and how is that assumption made? There has to be a certain caveat for suspecting that an offence has been committed. That the inspector must have an...
