- Road Network. (10 Feb 2010)
Shane McEntee: I just wanted to make that point. Regarding the roads, I realise the cold weather crisis is over, but the Minister and I are both realists, as well as coming from the same county. We both travel to other counties and the damage to the roads over and above normal as a result of the weather conditions we have had is only now becoming evident. No matter how it is done, in the current...

- Road Network. (10 Feb 2010)
Shane McEntee: Does the Minister agree that we cannot continue to ask our local engineers, whether in Tipperary, Cork or anywhere else, to continue to repair our roads? We are now coming into the busiest part of the year for tourism and agriculture-related business, with people moving out of their houses. The number of staff in the county councils has been cut by nearly a third relative to what they...

- Severe Weather Emergencies: Motion (26 Jan 2010)
Shane McEntee: I thank my colleague for the opportunity to talk about what we want and do not want in the future. I did not get a chance to talk to the Minister last week.

It was great to be at the opening and to see how waste...
- Severe Weather Emergencies: Motion (26 Jan 2010)
Shane McEntee: I would like to make another comment on this matter and will come to the subject of the roads. The homestead of the Minister's father is in the Laytown-Bettystown area.

I refer not only to the roads for which the local authorities are responsible but...
