Seanad: Adjournment Matters. - Crime Prevention Programmes. (3 Dec 2003)

Brian Hayes: I thank the Cathaoirleach for selecting this matter for the Adjournment debate. As the Minister of State may have seen in a recent "Prime Time" programme, the problem of juvenile or youth crime is particularly serious in many towns and cities. One of the most impressive tools the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform has at its disposal is an annual fund which it can use to finance...

Seanad: Order of Business. (2 Dec 2003)

Brian Hayes: We agree with the Order of Business as proposed by the Leader. Will the Leader arrange a debate in this House following the results of the Northern Ireland Assembly elections last week? I believe I speak for many people in this country in saying the results are depressing, because those who have tried to wreck the Good Friday Agreement since 1998 are now in the ascendancy and those who have...

Seanad: Order of Business. (27 Nov 2003)

Brian Hayes: I am sure all Members were shocked to hear this morning of the stabbing of a man in his forties in Ballyfermot last night. He was defending his property, trying to stop thugs from interfering with his car, and was stabbed to death as a result of his actions. The Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform should make a statement on this matter, although the issue will probably come before...

Seanad: Order of Business. (27 Nov 2003)

Brian Hayes: I understand that. However, if Committee Stage were taken at a later date next week, it would allow us to spend more time on the amendments proposed by the Government. Given that the Leader told us earlier this week that the Bill has been virtually rewritten, I think we should consider it carefully. I ask the Government to consider this in consultation with the Cathaoirleach.

Seanad: Address by President of the European Parliament. (27 Nov 2003)

Brian Hayes: On behalf of the Fine Gael party I welcome the President of the European Parliament, Mr. Cox, to the Seanad this morning, and I thank him for an interesting and inspiring address. One of Mr. Cox's colleagues, Mr. Joe McCartin MEP, was with us yesterday, and I was struck by his remark that when he first entered the European Parliament 24 years ago, many of the people he served with were the...

Seanad: Order of Business. (26 Nov 2003)

Brian Hayes: I understand the Government wants to introduce emergency legislation, the Road Traffic Bill 2003, to allow gardaí to breathalyse people in a number of circumstances, particularly in the run up to Christmas. The Leader may be assured that we will support that legislation tomorrow. However, the Minister for Transport made this announcement last Wednesday. He then went to the Statute Book, had...

Seanad: Order of Business. (26 Nov 2003)

Brian Hayes: I encourage the Leader to ensure that he comes into the House tomorrow. I wonder if the Leader, given her experience, knowledge and standing within her own party, could organise CCTV cameras to be installed at meetings of the Fianna Fáil parliamentary party. To ensure that—

Seanad: Order of Business. (26 Nov 2003)

Brian Hayes: When will the Government speak with one voice? The Minister of State at the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Deputy Fahey, is now bleeding his heart dry about community employment. Other Government Deputies are saying they do not want any more cutbacks. I heard one of them this morning in his own constituency bellyaching about the problems concerning the lack of sup port being...
