Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Priority Questions: Protected Disclosures (26 Jun 2018)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: The Act does not preclude the Minister of State from answering the question and saying whether he contacted the person who made this disclosure. It does not preclude him from doing as he did in the past when this House was made aware of other whistleblowers. He met them and dealt with an independent assessor who also met them. In this case, has the Minister of State contacted the person...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Priority Questions: Protected Disclosures (26 Jun 2018)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: At the end of the protected disclosure, which I ask the Minister of State to look at again, this man says that he is in dire financial circumstances. He states that he is due maritime patrol duty moneys from 2009 to 2015. Most other personnel have gotten this reinstated but he has not. I ask the Minister of State to progress that claim without me identifying the person or giving anything...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Priority Questions: Air Corps Operations (26 Jun 2018)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I wish the company that won the tender, Air Alliance Medflight, well. We do not want to see any gap in service, but at some stage the Defence Forces must have a capability to deliver and be an aid for the civil power. This is a €7 million contract over two years. In a response to a parliamentary question in 2014, I was told that the costs of providing this service by the Air Corps...

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Will the Minister of State comment on the capacity of the Air Corps to provide air ambulance services given the recent contract to grant the service to a commercial company for night-time ambulance services?

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Priority Questions: Air Corps Operations (26 Jun 2018)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: The original question had an extra part that was ruled out of order. I wanted to ask whether the Department had tendered for the contract at all. It is obvious from the answer that there is no capacity within the Air Corps to go beyond what it is supplying at the moment. That is a poor reflection on Defence Forces management because the Air Corps has been unable to retain pilots, air...

Other Questions: Commemorative Events (21 Jun 2018)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: As someone who has been a member of the all-party committee on commemorations since 2006 when it was first mooted by Bertie Ahern, I believe it is a good scheme and it needs to happen. Most of the ideas the State used came through that mechanism. The Minister is now running out of time. Local authorities were brought on board late in the day for the 2016 commemorations and they...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Plean Forbartha Náisiúnta (21 Jun 2018)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Is oth liom a rá go bhfuil an Teachta Tóibín ag bainis inniu. Cuirfidh mé sin in iúl roimh ré. Cén leithscéal nó cosaint atá ag an Aire Stáit i leith na fírice go raibh 22% de chaiteachas caipitil idir 2007 agus 2013 geallta don Ghaeltacht agus do na hoileáin ach nach bhfuil i gceist faoi Project Ireland 2040 ach 15% den...

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Maidir leis an airgead atá i gceist, ba é an tréimhse atá i gceist - 2008 go dtí 2016 - an tréimhse ina raibh muid in ísle brí. Caitheadh €224 milliún faoi Transforming Ireland. An rud atá i gceist sa tréimhse amach anseo ná go caithfear €178 milliún. Tá níos lú airgid le caitheamh againn anois...
