Clare Daly: 104. To ask the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the steps he will take to address the discrepancy in pay between temporary clerical officers and permanent staff in the shared services organisation in the Civil Service that has taken over much of the work done by local HR sections. [33143/16]

Written Answers — Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport: Airport Development Projects (3 Nov 2016)

Clare Daly: 172. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the action he proposes in relation to the small number of homeowners whose properties are marginally outside the voluntary buy-out area, whose lives will be severely negatively impacted by the development of the new runway, from the perspective of broadening the terms of the scheme and ensuring that these persons are considered for...

Clare Daly: 199. To ask the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation her Department's plans to address the inordinate delays and dysfunction in the workings of the Workplace Relations Commission. [33146/16]

Calais Migrant Camp: Statements (2 Nov 2016)

Clare Daly: I wish the Government had lost the knack of surprising me. Sadly, it is not the case. I was appalled by the contributions of the three Ministers. All of us have gathered here in the reasonable expectation and belief that this was a cross-party motion symbolically to respond to a humanitarian crisis on our doorstep by taking 200 unaccompanied minors. I hope, because of the discussion, the...

Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Bill 2015: Second Stage (Resumed) (2 Nov 2016)

Clare Daly: First, it is important to say that there are many very good aspects to the Bill. The issue of dealing with sexual offences is long overdue. However, the Bill is so big and deals with so many different and diverse areas that its weakness lies in trying to do too much. We run the serious risk of leaving ourselves open to doing damage where none is intended. Some of the areas can be...

Other Questions: EU Regulations (2 Nov 2016)

Clare Daly: I am deeply concerned by the contradiction in written replies to parliamentary questions previously in which the Minister stated this would require legislation whereas he is now talking about a statutory instrument.

Other Questions: EU Regulations (2 Nov 2016)

Clare Daly: 12. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the measures he has taken to ensure the independence of the Irish Aviation Authority as the competent authority to deal with the implementation of EU Regulation No. 598/2014; the reason he chose this model in view of the fact that other jurisdictions would appear to be opting for a more demonstrably independent authority; and if he will...

Other Questions: EU Regulations (2 Nov 2016)

Clare Daly: The Minister earlier made the point a couple of times that never before was there an authority to deal with noise at the airport. Of course, this is a consequence of an EU directive rather than anything the Government has done. I am not necessarily opposed to the competent authority being set up as part of the Irish Aviation Authority, IAA, but it is a different model from that which is...

Other Questions: EU Regulations (2 Nov 2016)

Clare Daly: The IAA is a better option than the DAA or the local authority in the area. That a competent body separate from the IAA is being established is also beneficial but it must be seen to be entirely independent. As this organisation is to be funded from aircraft activity, that is a problem. The Minister has said, and everybody knows, this new body will have the power, without recourse to...

Other Questions: Dublin Airport Authority (2 Nov 2016)

Clare Daly: 10. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport his views on the fact that Dublin Airport is the least regulated airport from a group of 17 similarly sized European airports in relation to noise abatement measures; the way he proposes to address the matter; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [32769/16]

Other Questions: Dublin Airport Authority (2 Nov 2016)

Clare Daly: Earlier, the Minister said he was very impressed with the residents of north County Dublin. They are not very impressed with the activities of the Dublin Airport Authority, DAA, or the Department. Compared to 17 similarly sized airports across Europe, Dublin Airport is the least regulated airport. The DAA is a 100% State-owned organisation. What steps has the Minister taken to ensure the...

Other Questions: Dublin Airport Authority (2 Nov 2016)

Clare Daly: I am not sure whether the Minister is ill informed or not getting it on purpose. The precise point made by the residents is that figures produced by the DAA and Fingal County Council claiming that 200 people are affected by night time aircraft noise is, sadly, laughable in the extreme. Thousands of citizens are affected in varying degrees. They are worse affected now than previously....

Other Questions: Dublin Airport Authority (2 Nov 2016)

Clare Daly: Given that there is a major problem with the DAA and Fingal County Council operating in these areas, anybody new is welcome. I will deal with this in my next question. Most airports around Europe charge extra for aircraft traffic at night. Dublin is one of three, along with Rome and Oslo, which does not. I am shocked that the Minister did not know this, particularly given that he has...

Written Answers — Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport: EU Regulations (2 Nov 2016)

Written Answers — Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport: Airport Development Projects (2 Nov 2016)

Clare Daly: 40. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the steps he has taken to deal with repeated claims from communities all across north Dublin affected by the new major runway that the daa consultation process is inadequate and that their views are not being taken on board, particularly in respect of the communities in or adjoining the areas where the noise impact will be so severe...

Written Answers — Department of Education and Skills: Residential Institutions Statutory Fund (2 Nov 2016)

Clare Daly: 136. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if his attention has been drawn to the introduction of a €15,000 cap on applications to the residential institutions statutory fund; if his attention has been further drawn to any assessment that has been carried out to justify the new limits; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [32655/16]

Written Answers — Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht: EU Directives (2 Nov 2016)

Clare Daly: 262. To ask the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht if her Department holds and operates the licensing function for control measures that can be carried out on bird species under national wildlife legislation and under the EU birds directive. [32732/16]

Written Answers — Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht: EU Directives (2 Nov 2016)

Clare Daly: 266. To ask the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht further to Parliamentary Question No. 530 of 27 September 2016, if a typical single case application for a bird control derogation licence usually necessitates a site visit, an inspection and a report by a conservation ranger, followed by an adjudication in her Department with reference to the legislation, and concluded with a...
