Committee on Public Petitions: Save Fermoy Weir: Discussion. (3 Jul 2019)

Seán Sherlock: The public perception was certainly that it had been secured, if I may be bold enough to say so.

Committee on Public Petitions: Save Fermoy Weir: Discussion. (3 Jul 2019)

Seán Sherlock: Everybody, including the various stakeholders here, agrees that Cork County Council owns the structure and has responsibilities in respect of heritage, conservation, protecting local amenity, and the migration of fish under the habitats directive and the water framework directive. If the Department of the Minister, Deputy Murphy, is saying, as I interpret it, that it is an issue for the OPW...

Committee on Public Petitions: Save Fermoy Weir: Discussion. (3 Jul 2019)

Seán Sherlock: To unpack what Mr. Healy has said, the loan facility is not guaranteed. It has not been secured and therefore the repair and restoration of the weir and fish pass is not being considered as a potential project to fund through it. Is that a fair assumption?

Committee on Public Petitions: Save Fermoy Weir: Discussion. (3 Jul 2019)

Committee on Public Petitions: Save Fermoy Weir: Discussion. (3 Jul 2019)

Seán Sherlock: It falls outside it. That is the unambiguous answer I am looking for. If it cannot be funded through the loan facility, we are now back to either the local authority's own resources or central government. It is effectively one or the other. Is that a fair assessment?

Committee on Public Petitions: Save Fermoy Weir: Discussion. (3 Jul 2019)

Seán Sherlock: How much does the council have in the kitty at the moment? It is mapping out the potential cost of works. Does it have money in the kitty to meet its statutory obligations? Does it have anything put aside?

Committee on Public Petitions: Save Fermoy Weir: Discussion. (3 Jul 2019)

Seán Sherlock: Does it include any parameters?

Committee on Public Petitions: Save Fermoy Weir: Discussion. (3 Jul 2019)

Seán Sherlock: I think I understand what Mr. Morey is saying. We live in a world of couched language here. Will Mr. Morey distil his point so that I can internalise and understand it? Is he saying that the parameters or loan criteria are being set out in general terms?

Committee on Public Petitions: Save Fermoy Weir: Discussion. (3 Jul 2019)

Seán Sherlock: We are back to central government again. There is a political prerogative which has to be brought to bear here. That seems to be the bottom line. Rather than concluding matters here, with the agreement of the committee, I suggest that we have to digest what has been said. Some of us are familiar with this issue and have an overview of it because we have had meetings at individual level...

Committee on Public Petitions: Save Fermoy Weir: Discussion. (3 Jul 2019)

Seán Sherlock: Ms O'Brien has just opened another silo but we will engage with the Department. The witnesses will all be back in three weeks and officials of the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport will be here. I appreciate Ms O'Brien's intervention. We are trying to distil this and reach a fair assessment of what the positions are. Some of us have been living and breathing this issue and the...

Land and Conveyancing Law Reform (Amendment) Bill 2019: Report Stage (2 Jul 2019)

Seán Sherlock: We have to talk about this Bill in the context of what it means for the owners of family homes. Taking the announcement today from Ulster Bank regarding its plans to sell a €900 million loan book with 3,200 homes, we can safely state that common sense dictates that if a property goes into receivership, then that is a precursor to taking possession of the property. This amendment...

Seán Sherlock: I wish to speak in support of the amendment. I acknowledge the work of FLAC on this and its submission on the Bill.

It states the issue of the appointment of receivers to properties that are the principal private residence of the borrower has become contentious in recent months, particularly in light of the...
