Order of Business (1 Oct 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Given the international crisis with refugees coming from the war-torn areas of Syria in particular and also from Kurdistan and places like that, can we have a debate quite quickly given the pronouncements made before the Dáil resumed to ensure that all the parties can lend support for Ireland to play its full part? In her response to my question on Leaders' Questions, the...

Leaders' Questions (1 Oct 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: It has nothing to do with me; I will tell the Tánaiste that much.

Leaders' Questions (1 Oct 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: The residents of Longboat Quay, the development with which we are dealing, must now suffer the consequences of bad planning regulations, or a lack of such regulations and enforcement. Residents of such complexes have been exploited by Fianna Fáil developers, like Bernard McNamara and others, in the past. These are the same individuals who collapsed regeneration projects right across...

Leaders' Questions (1 Oct 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I do not believe the Tánaiste has managed to persuade anybody that the matter will be resolved.

Leaders' Questions (1 Oct 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: She has just kicked it to touch until such time as Dublin City Council has full charge of Dublin Docklands Development Authority. Why does the Government not take the initiative? This case is but one in the media at present. There are several. I do not want to repeat the long drawn-out saga concerning Priory Hall or the many other developments, not all of which had fire safety problems...

Leaders' Questions (1 Oct 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Go raibh maith agat. Yesterday, my party colleague, Deputy Mary Lou McDonald raised with the Taoiseach the appalling prospect that up to 600 people who are living in Longboat Quay will be forced out of their homes unless they come up with €4 million by today.

Leaders' Questions (1 Oct 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: These are the latest innocent victims of reckless and unscrupulous property developers who, in their drive for profit, have and are playing Russian roulette with the lives of families. They have been building substandard and unsafe housing in a property frenzy, particularly during the boom years. Priory Hall, under McFeely, is the most infamous example.

Social Housing Policy: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (30 Sep 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Ba mhaith liom mo bhuíochas a ghabháil leis an Teachta Ellis a chur an rún seo os comhair na Dála ar an ócáid seo. Tá sé rí-thábhachtach go bhfuil muid ag plé an rúin seo, ach is trua go gcaithimid é a phlé. We are discussing a motion we should not be discussing. The Government is in place four and a half years, yet...

Other Questions: State Pensions Payments (30 Sep 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Their children in Australia - they also have grandchildren there - paid for their flights. However, they could not take the decision to travel, given that without a payment, they would have been unable to pay their rent and other standing charges for a period. They were hoping to go for three to four weeks. Given that so many people have emigrated of late, will the Minister extend the...

Other Questions: State Pensions Payments (30 Sep 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I was being very careful in my second contribution to say that I am asking for an extension from two weeks to four weeks, which is logical if a person is travelling to Australia, especially an elderly person travelling to meet relatives. I also asked that it be on the production of certain documents. One could set conditions whereby the standard practice of two weeks is acceptable but...

Other Questions: State Pensions Payments (30 Sep 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: 6. To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection her plans to correct the discriminatory and inequitable discrepancy between the treatment of persons in receipt of a non-contributory pension and a contributory pension regarding the entitlement to receive a pension while abroad (details supplied). [33143/15]

Other Questions: State Pensions Payments (30 Sep 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Will the Tánaiste examine the discriminatory position whereby people who are on non-contributory pensions cannot travel abroad for longer than two weeks without suffering the loss of their pensions? There are occasions when people are visiting relatives abroad, in Australia or other countries, for extended periods, perhaps when someone is ill, and they lose their payments as a consequence.

Other Questions: State Pensions Payments (30 Sep 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: The non-contributory pension is the problem.

Other Questions: State Pensions Payments (30 Sep 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I was never considering that it would be for an indefinite period and I welcome the fact that people can contact the Department and ask.
