Select Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Heritage Bill 2016: Committee Stage (25 Apr 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I move amendment No. 8:In page 5, line 38, to delete "and" and substitute the following:"(ii) develop a system whereby interested parties can register electronically with Waterways Ireland and be notified of all bye-laws proposed to be made, and". This basically allows for the use of modern technology in the notification of by-laws and so on. The provision as it stands would put them up in...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Putting the advertisement in a newspaper is an operational matter.

Select Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Heritage Bill 2016: Committee Stage (25 Apr 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Yes. That is an operational matter.

Select Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Heritage Bill 2016: Committee Stage (25 Apr 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Telling the local authority is an operational matter, as provided for. I know many people who do not buy the local newspaper to look at the small advertisements, although they might read the news. They do not scour a newspaper every week on the off-chance there might be a notice of some obscure by-law that might affect them. It would be in the newspaper at a fixed time. Time and again we...

Select Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Heritage Bill 2016: Committee Stage (25 Apr 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I fought for this when I was a Minister and there has been tremendous development even in the past seven or eight years in communications. The old system in so many laws of putting a notice in the local newspaper is by the week getting weaker. The reality is that if a person does not register, the notification will not be sent, but electronic communications are fairly reliable. What is...

Select Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Heritage Bill 2016: Committee Stage (25 Apr 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I do not know about the rest of my colleagues but the last time I scoured a local newspaper electronically or manually for small advertisements relating to by-laws was a long time ago. I try to keep informed but it is very handy when people are told instead.

Select Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Heritage Bill 2016: Committee Stage (25 Apr 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: If the Minister tells me she will look at this between now and Report Stage, I will not press the amendments and I will bring them back on Report Stage. I am sure officials could come up with a suitable formulation of words.

Select Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Heritage Bill 2016: Committee Stage (25 Apr 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I move amendment No. 9:In page 6, line 30, to delete "website." and substitute the following:"website, and(iii) ensure that Authorised Officers have access to a copy of the bye-laws (electronic or hard copy) for presentation on request by a canal user.".

Select Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Heritage Bill 2016: Committee Stage (25 Apr 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I move amendment No. 10:In page 7, line 33, to delete "notice" and substitute "notice and detailing the offence and the amount of the penalty". The purpose of amendment No. 11 is obvious, as it substitutes "30 days" for "21 days". The Minister has mentioned a period of 90 days so I presume the amendment will be accepted. It gives a little extra time, which is reasonable. Amendment No. 10...

Select Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Heritage Bill 2016: Committee Stage (25 Apr 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I am still of the view that 30 days would be more reasonable. What of the notice detailing the offence and the amount of the penalty?

Select Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Heritage Bill 2016: Committee Stage (25 Apr 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I move amendment No. 12:In page 8, line 40, to delete “boats” and substitute “the canals and canal property”. Section 7B (5) states: "An authorised officer may for the purposes of—(a) enforcing the conditions under which boats may be used in the canals in compliance with canal bye-laws". The amendment proposes deleting "boats" and substituting "the canals...
