Other Questions: Noise Pollution (10 May 2017)

Clare Daly: On 21 March I asked why the DAA had not furnished residents in St. Margaret's with the longitudinal noise measurements which they required to assess the impact of the new runway on their homes. At that stage, the Minister assured me that he had been in contact with them and that the information was being finalised and would be made available to them on 30 March. It is now 10 May and they...

Other Questions: Noise Pollution (10 May 2017)

Clare Daly: The heart of this matter is the contempt the DAA is displaying towards local residents. When we asked the question in March, the meeting on 30 March was unilaterally cancelled without any alternative meeting with the community liaison group being put in place. As the Minister correctly stated, in the interim legal proceedings were commenced. Presumably the information had been obtained...

Other Questions: Noise Pollution (10 May 2017)

Clare Daly: I put it to the Minister that the issue of litigation is a convenient excuse for the DAA to not fulfil the obligations which it had all along. Had it discharged its duties and functions as it should have six months ago when residents asked for the information, the issue would not have arisen. We now have a scenario where homeowners are facing the uncertainty of negotiations and dialogue with...

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Business of Committee (10 May 2017)

Clare Daly: I agree with the Chairman's comments. It is beyond shocking the way this committee has been treated in terms of dealing with this issue. I remind members that when we finished our pre-legislative discussions, the committee unanimously agreed that we should go forward. We also agreed that formal Committee Stage would be scheduled for today, as per the minutes, which would give the...

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Business of Committee (10 May 2017)

Clare Daly: I want to address some of those matters. The Tánaiste's letter yesterday made the point that the Bill itself was, in essence, a Government Bill from 2007 on to which we added other aspects to deal with maternal deaths and all the rest of it. If the Department had turned around since November and said that changes had happened to measures and that it wanted to deal with that - which is...

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Business of Committee (10 May 2017)

Clare Daly: I do not have the expertise to say that. After the pre-legislative process, we went through it in depth and we tried to take that on board. Some of the amendments I have would reflect that and define what is meant by "maternal death". They say that somebody who was pregnant and died of cancer would be excluded. That tightens the definition of a maternal death and so on. Could that fit in...

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Business of Committee (10 May 2017)

Clare Daly: It is not a case of not believing the Minister or believing that she does not have genuine intent. The problem is that, one and a half years ago, the Minister did not oppose the Bill but made a statement saying she would like the provisions to be enacted. Now they will not be enacted. There will be a delay to their enactment unless we get concrete assurances that this will be dealt with by...

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Business of Committee (10 May 2017)

Clare Daly: I will certainly make myself available to meet the Department to see how we can advance this, box it off in the coming days and get a strategy but if that is not forthcoming we have to act.

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Business of Committee (10 May 2017)
