[12287/09]
- School Accommodation. (25 Mar 2009)
Brian Hayes: I am disappointed that the Minister could not inform me of the total number of prefabs in the country where his Department has spent over â¬50,000. The fact that he cannot even give an estimate of that speaks volumes for the sense of chaos that exists within the Department. At a time when commercial and residential rents are falling through the floor, he is effectively proposing to spend...
- School Accommodation. (25 Mar 2009)
Brian Hayes: With the greatest degree of respect to the Minister, the questions relate to now and the scarcity of resources in all Departments, as he well knows. Why do we have to wait until later this year for a bunch of consultants to tell us something we already know?
- School Accommodation. (25 Mar 2009)
Brian Hayes: We know these contracts should be renegotiated now. Would the Minister consider, while in discussion with his officials, effectively setting his own maximum rent control on prefabricated units? I understand he has the power to do this. There are 26 suppliers and the Minister ultimately has to pay the bill. I believe efficiencies can be achieved here; money can be saved and used for more...

- Third Level Fees. (25 Mar 2009)
Brian Hayes: Is the Minister bringing proposals to the Cabinet next Tuesday? Can he confirm to the House whether it is his belief that a new funding scheme will be in place for the Autumn period of this year for new entrants to college?

- Third Level Fees. (25 Mar 2009)
Brian Hayes: There are various views here on this matter, it is what is called democracy. Can the Minister put the position for new entrants to the systems from this autumn on the record? What is his considered view as to whether fees will be in place for new entrants to the system? As a means of not making a dog's dinner of this, I ask the Minister and Cabinet not to make a decision on the funding...

- Property Transfers. (25 Mar 2009)
Brian Hayes: Has the Minister had discussions with the Attorney General about the possibility of reopening this deal with the religious orders given the fact, to which Deputy Quinn's question refers, 63 properties were included at a time when property values were exceptionally higher than they are now? Is there potential to reopen this sordid deal given the young students of this country are now picking...
