Committee on Transport and Communications: Select Sub-Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: State Airports (Shannon Group) Bill 2014: Committee Stage (3 Jul 2014)

Clare Daly: However, they never do, as we know from repeatedly asking the Minister at every ministerial session. So it might be nice to remind them in this piece of legislation. They have many of these powers already as well, but we are not including them in the Bill. It would help to focus their attention on their international responsibilities under our neutrality and other agreements. Would the...

Committee on Transport and Communications: Select Sub-Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: State Airports (Shannon Group) Bill 2014: Committee Stage (3 Jul 2014)

Clare Daly: I have not written it yet because we have only seen it, but I am sure we could come up with something. I believe it is necessary and we can do it at that stage.

Committee on Transport and Communications: Select Sub-Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: State Airports (Shannon Group) Bill 2014: Committee Stage (3 Jul 2014)

Clare Daly: The section outlines considerable powers of arrest, search and so on. Would it be appropriate to provide for powers to search aircraft that breach our neutrality, considering authorised officers should be doing this? I did not know that the Minister was introducing this amendment and, therefore, will table an amendment on Report Stage to add to their powers and responsibilities which are...

Committee on Transport and Communications: Select Sub-Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: State Airports (Shannon Group) Bill 2014: Committee Stage (3 Jul 2014)

Clare Daly: On the cessation of contributions and whether a legislative change is necessary to facilitate it, I still do not necessarily accept what the Minister is saying. My clear understanding of it is that, under the existing rules, the only people with power of veto are the employers. The employer actually can veto any rule changes. The idea that one has to get absolutely every other member,...

Committee on Transport and Communications: Select Sub-Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: State Airports (Shannon Group) Bill 2014: Committee Stage (3 Jul 2014)

Clare Daly: I wish to respond to remarks made by the Minister. I fully appreciate how my constituent feels and his desire to cease contributions to the scheme. I make contributions to the same scheme and am fully aware that at the moment it is a black hole for active members. It has been so mishandled to this point that at the moment we would not receive back what we have put in, never mind what the...

Committee on Transport and Communications: Select Sub-Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: State Airports (Shannon Group) Bill 2014: Committee Stage (3 Jul 2014)

Clare Daly: This is the most controversial part of the Bill, which will have an impact on the living standards of thousands of citizens in their retirement. It is of major importance. Like the other Deputies, I do not accept that the Minister's amendment addresses those concerns. It is inappropriate to insert this amendment in this Bill. While the Minister has attempted to address the issue of...

Oil and Gas Fiscal System Review: Statements (3 Jul 2014)

Clare Daly: What is going on is best summed up by Wood MacKenzie in its undoubtedly expensive report, paid for by us, which states that the recommended system will greatly improve the "perception" of the fiscal terms. It is largely the perception rather than the reality which is being addressed. Mr. Terence Conway from Shell to Sea summed it up accurately when he stated:As could be expected from a...
