Horse Racing Ireland Bill 2015: Second Stage (Resumed) (11 Nov 2015)

Denis Naughten: In his contribution, Deputy Penrose highlighted the different returns that racecourses get from race meetings. A weighting is applied based on a meeting's status or grading rather than on the number of meetings that a course holds. As the Minister knows, however, it is the small racecourses with the large numbers of people passing through their gates that keep the industry alive, support...

Horse Racing Ireland Bill 2015: Second Stage (Resumed) (11 Nov 2015)

Denis Naughten: No. The most important part of the cow was its ears. The quality of the animal had no bearing. During the boom, the standard of horse fell significantly because people held on to low quality stock. Bizarrely, there was a trade in that stock. When the recession hit, there was no outlet. There was also an issue with passports and slaughtering facilities for those horses. All of this...

Horse Racing Ireland Bill 2015: Second Stage (Resumed) (11 Nov 2015)

Denis Naughten: I welcome the opportunity to speak. I was thinking on the way here about going as a child to the race meeting in Galway when that festival was a farmers' festival. I remember going in and putting a bet on with my 50p and getting the perforated ticket from the tote. I had to stand on tiptoe to reach into the slot because I was so small. In a lot of families in Ireland, racing is a social...

Horse Racing Ireland Bill 2015: Second Stage (Resumed) (11 Nov 2015)

Order of Business (11 Nov 2015)

Denis Naughten: The economic partnership agreements, EPAs, are leading to food insecurity and conflict, which is forcing people to migrate from Africa to Europe. The EPAs are pouring petrol on the migration flame. I thank the Taoiseach for his earlier commitment to have a short debate on No. 17 on the Order Paper. Will all groups in the House have an opportunity to contribute to the debate? Can we have a...

Other Questions: Greenways Funding (11 Nov 2015)

Denis Naughten: I thank the Minister for acknowledging that there is considerable agreement on the section between Athlone and Ballinasloe. The reason for that agreement on the section through County Roscommon and part of County Galway is that about 40% of the route between Athlone and Ballinasloe is on publicly owned lands. Can the Minister give me an assurance that we will look at routing the greenway...

Denis Naughten: I did not ask the Minister that.

Other Questions: Greenways Funding (11 Nov 2015)

Denis Naughten: I am disappointed that the Minister is failing to listen to me. I have been saying this since last February. I am probably the only public representative to say publicly that I want the greenway between Athlone and Galway to proceed. It will go through my parish and I am determined to see it go ahead. However, it can only proceed with the consent of landowners. In the example that has...

Other Questions: Greenways Funding (11 Nov 2015)

Denis Naughten: The approach taken to planning the greenway between Ballinasloe and Galway has led to a decision to pause the plans for the cycle way between Athlone and Galway. The fundamental problem is that the routing of the greenway through County Galway has taken a different approach from that taken on the eastern side of the River Shannon, where it was based on publicly owned lands along the canal...
