Seanad: Order of Business (20 Mar 2013)

Denis O'Donovan: Like previous speakers, I welcome the news about the CAP deal entered into by the Minister, Deputy Simon Coveney, whom I congratulate, although the CAP budget is to be reduced.

Having said that, I am concerned about the divergent statements on what the new CAP proposals will mean from the president of the IFA, Mr. John Bryan, and the...

Seanad: Adjournment Matters: Hospitals Building Projects (14 Mar 2013)

Denis O'Donovan: I thank the Minister of State for his response, although I am not as reassured by it as I would like to be. In any case, I understand he delivered the statement on behalf of his colleague, the Minister of State at the Department of Health, Deputy Kathleen Lynch.

Seanad: Adjournment Matters: Hospitals Building Projects (14 Mar 2013)

Seanad: Adjournment Matters: School Relocation (12 Mar 2013)

Denis O'Donovan: I understand that the Minister of State is not the line Minister and I do not want to wag the finger of blame at him. However, I wish to express my deep dissatisfaction at what has happened in Kinsale, in particular in Summercove, because whatever about demographics the school was identified as early as 1999 as being deserving of a new school which had been fought for at the time. I...

Seanad: Adjournment Matters: School Relocation (12 Mar 2013)

Denis O'Donovan: This matter pertains to Summercove national school, the school roll number of which is 18829J. In a nutshell, this is a very old school that was built in 1909 and in May 1998, its board of management made an application for a new school building on the advice of a senior official of the Office of Public Works, OPW, because it had outgrown its original purpose. On 7 December 1999, a report...

Denis O'Donovan: I am playing the devil's advocate, not countering our guests' wonderful proposal. To be honest, I do not trust insurers in this business area. In my attempts over ten years to have them consider this issue, they have not wanted to know about it.
