Public Holidays (Lá na Poblachta) Bill 2013: Second Stage [Private Members] (9 Oct 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: This meant, by that very action, that the State was politicising the ideals and commemorations of 1916. In my document, bhí sé i gceist agam lá saoire náisiúnta a chur sa tsiúil. Is ait liom go bhfuil an Stát ag cur ina choinne. Bhí sé i gceist agam chomh maith bord Lá na Poblachta a bhunú. Ba é sin an príomhrud a...

Order of Business (8 Oct 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I have a number of issues to raise. Each term, we get a copy of the legislative programme, which is published and circulated to everybody, giving an indication of what Bills will be published. For example, the current programme indicates that 34 pieces of legislation will be produced before Christmas. I wish the Government well in that regard. The rest of the programme is a wish list and...

Order of Business (8 Oct 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I am seeking several debates as several of the reports were supposed to be debated in the House within three months of publication. We are now over a year and a half on from the publication of some of the reports and beyond that in other cases. I know the Minister is aware of No. 72 on the legislative list, the Digital Hub Development Agency (dissolution) Bill, which is to transfer the...

Leaders' Questions (8 Oct 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: NAMA can take instruction from the Minister for Finance, as it has done on 15 separate occasions since September 2009. I ask on this occasion that the Government, which includes the Minister, ask him to issue the required instruction to ensure the portion of Moore Street not currently designated as a national monument be designated and protected as such. The Minister said it should be a...

Leaders' Questions (8 Oct 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: On 23 April 2014, the eve of the 98th anniversary of the 1916 Rising, the Government announced that, through NAMA, it would invest €5 million in refurbishing and restoring the section of Moore Street which had been designated as a national monument, that is, Nos. 14 to 17 Moore Street. This was re-announced five months later by the Minister for Arts and Heritage and the Gaeltacht,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Central Heating Systems: Regulation of Plumbing Standards (7 Oct 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I am intrigued by the last contribution, but I can come back to it. It suggests that there is a problem. I believe the petitioner wrote to us about the need to establish whether there is a problem and what action should be taken. I thank the witnesses for appearing before the committee. For most of us mere mortals, some of this is quite technical, and we bring to it our own life...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Central Heating Systems: Regulation of Plumbing Standards (7 Oct 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I welcome that, but I know that sometimes it is difficult to get agreement. Our job is to ensure that the best standard is set out for all of this. Regardless of whether there is agreement, we should encourage the NSAI and others to try to get that as quickly as possible before we go through another large phase of house building. Even though I am not that old, I remember when Qual-PEX...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Central Heating Systems: Regulation of Plumbing Standards (7 Oct 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: One of the problems that we have identified, and it is an issue that has been accepted by Ms Neary, is that this can become a problem unless somebody has an understanding that it is a problem or unless somebody inspects it. I refer to when people leave the temporary connection in place. I could not tell by looking at the pipework in my house whether the connection worked or not. I would...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Central Heating Systems: Regulation of Plumbing Standards (7 Oct 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: It is poor workmanship because we do not have an inspections regime and standards that are enforceable. Am I correct?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Central Heating Systems: Regulation of Plumbing Standards (7 Oct 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: The petitioner went further than the 100,000 houses. He suggested that with the dead-leg part, about which we talked earlier, in the hot tank, it could potentially be more than 300,000 houses. I do not know because, as I said, I am not an expect. I would have presumed that if somebody flagged a potential issue - the argument is the same with others - somebody needs to do an audit by...
