- Other Questions: Turf Cutting Compensation Scheme Relocation Options (3 Dec 2013)
Luke Flanagan: I do not know if the Minister heard himself say this but he said people have nothing to fear. Three years in prison is a lot to fear. The families of contractors could be dragged before the courts on Christmas week, and he claims there is nothing to fear. How can that be if there is the potential that a person could be jailed for three years for trying to make a living. The Minister said...
- Other Questions: Turf Cutting Compensation Scheme (3 Dec 2013)
Luke Flanagan: Will the Minister specify which bogs identified by the TCCA as possible relocation bogs have turned out not to be suitable for turf cutting? Will he also tell me how just over 1,000 of the more than 9,000 turbary rights holders on the so-called special areas of conservation signing something is majority? My understanding is even at the round figure of 9,000 turbary right holders a majority...

Luke Flanagan: 5. To ask the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht if he will consider Irish text only day; if he or his Department officials have examined this idea in the past; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [51695/13]
- Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Irish Language Issues (3 Dec 2013)
Luke Flanagan: The purpose of my question is to encourage the Minister of State with responsibility for the Gaeltacht to do something innovative to save the Irish language. I know he is doing many things, but much of these would appear pretty similar to what has been done in the past. We know that if we keep doing something that has failed over and over again, it is time to start looking at a new way of...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: EirGrid: Discussion with Chairman Designate (3 Dec 2013)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: EirGrid: Discussion with Chairman Designate (3 Dec 2013)
Luke Flanagan: Maybe 50 m. In this county when turf cutters deal with the Minister they are told "maybe they got consulted". From the mouth of Mr. O'Connor we hear "maybe 50 m". "Maybe" will not add up in court. What is the distance that Mr. O'Connor would be comfortable with in order that he would not have a problem living beside a pylon? Please tell us. Mr. O'Connor is destroying the process by what...
