Clare Daly: What about the rail network?

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Climate Change Policy (16 Dec 2015)

Clare Daly: If that is the best that is planned, we have a serious problem. There may have been more investment in Dublin Bus but fares are increasing and that is making the public transport network less attractive for users. Iarnród Éireann has changed its schedule, cutting out key routes at key times in areas such as north County Dublin which, again, forces people out of the trains and back...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Climate Change Policy (16 Dec 2015)

Clare Daly: I am absolutely delighted the economy is recovering, I am just sorry that the statistics show it is disproportionately loaded in favour of those at the top. Those in the middle and the bottom have seen their incomes falling. On the issue of public transport, in which radical investment is needed, metro north was on track when the Government came to power and then it shelved it. While it...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Climate Change Policy (16 Dec 2015)

Clare Daly: 5. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport given that Ireland's economy has been described as improved by the Department of Finance and given that the document, Climate Change Mitigation: Preparation of Low-Carbon Roadmap for Transport, published by his Department in December 2013, envisaged retrenchment in public transport investment due to economic circumstances only until...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Climate Change Policy (16 Dec 2015)

Clare Daly: My priority question was my question on workers' conditions in the Dublin Airport Authority and Aer Lingus. It followed up on a question I asked previously and I am disappointed it was not selected for reply. On the issue of climate change, we are informed that the country's economic performance is improving. We are clearly in a crisis, however, because Ireland will not meet its climate...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Military Aircraft Landings (16 Dec 2015)

Clare Daly: 3. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport his views on recent discussions his Department has had with the Departments of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Justice and Equality and Defence on the need for an immediate overhaul of the manner in which his Department gives permission for civilian aircraft to land or overfly the State carrying munitions, given the scale of the number of...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Military Aircraft Landings (16 Dec 2015)

Clare Daly: This question relates to whether the Minister has had contact with his colleague in the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade with regard to reviewing the practice of authorising permits for the transit of weapons and munitions through Shannon Airport. This is against the backdrop of the fact that last year permits were given permits by the Minister to take weapons and explosives through...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Military Aircraft Landings (16 Dec 2015)

Clare Daly: It is the Minister's responsibility, as it is his Department that grants the permits. I take it from his reply that he is stating he intends to do nothing to change the position. More than 550 permits were granted to airlines carrying troops, weapons and explosives to their forward operating bases, all from NATO countries, by the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport. Moreover, they...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Military Aircraft Landings (16 Dec 2015)

Clare Daly: The Minister states he is interested in safety, that he is not interested in foreign policy, but yet he is citing neutrality. How is neutrality advanced by him authorising the transit of 190 tonnes of explosives and ammunition to Afghanistan, where, as Members are aware, the Taliban is in control? I would think it not advanced in terms of the safety of people in that region or in Yemen....

Garda Síochána (Policing Authority and Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2015 [Seanad]: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (15 Dec 2015)

Clare Daly: In regard to the code of ethics, the point is that it being a breach of discipline was in the heads of the Bill. It has been watered down and removed from the final draft. The Minister also mentioned the importance of monitoring but the word is mentioned only once in regard to the role of the authority. It has been removed from what was in the heads of Bill to a much looser oversight role,...

Garda Síochána (Policing Authority and Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2015 [Seanad]: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (15 Dec 2015)

Clare Daly: This is probably one of the key aspects of the Bill but it is a much watered down version of what we thought would be in the legislation. It is in sharp contrast to the legislation Deputy Wallace published for a genuinely independent Garda authority, which was allowed to go to Second Stage. That Bill proposed that the board and the Commissioner would be responsible for drafting a code of...
