Revised Estimates for Public Services 2016 (Resumed) (22 Jun 2016)

Tommy Broughan: Yes, it is 50-50. I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute briefly on the topic of the Revised Estimates for the Tánaiste's Department. It has been widely reported that the €55 million, including the additional moneys and the money from savings in the Revised Estimates, is directly in response to the recent spate of horrendous gangland crimes and murders in the city....

Revised Estimates for Public Services 2016 (Resumed) (22 Jun 2016)

Tommy Broughan: I understand one of the main barriers to a quick and seamless introduction of section 44 was and is the IT systems of the stakeholders. When will they be updated? I heard a Fianna Fáil Deputy speak on vacancies and so on in important courts. However, the experience of the Courts Service in respect of road traffic law has come across as incredibly inefficient. The Courts Service,...

Committee on Arrangements for Budgetary Scrutiny: Engagement with Economic and Social Research Institute (22 Jun 2016)

Tommy Broughan: I welcome Professor Barrett and his colleagues. Does he envisage the ESRI not having a formal relationship with the new committee as such?

Committee on Arrangements for Budgetary Scrutiny: Engagement with the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission (21 Jun 2016)

Tommy Broughan: I note that Mr. Bond referenced Scotland a few times. Is there not one difference, as up to very recently Scotland did not have independent tax setting powers? Are there any better examples in the European Union of countries where sister organisations of the IHREC and the budget committee of the parliament were able to interact?

Committee on Arrangements for Budgetary Scrutiny: Engagement with the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission (21 Jun 2016)

Tommy Broughan: We always felt that in each budget there was a box ticking exercise in terms of poverty and equality proofing generally and that serious efforts were not being made in that regard. Did the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission or its predecessor organisations ever take a view on actual budget presentation? I agree with Mr. Bond in his general point that what evolves from this committee...

Other Questions: Traffic Management (14 Jun 2016)

Tommy Broughan: The proposal is a very attractive one in general terms, in that it will create a major new pedestrian area beside the cross-city Luas service. In the 18th century the likes of Theobald Wolfe Tone who founded the Republic could stroll from Trinity College Dublin across to Parliament House and watch Henry Grattan and Henry Flood arguing the case for full Irish independence. Although our...
