Gangland Crime. (14 Dec 2006)

Trevor Sargent: Does the Minister accept no Opposition Member called for round the clock police protection for everybody? Does he understand that, because he claimed that was what Members were seeking? Will he ensure from an operational point of view — he has political responsibility but he needs to apply himself to the operational details——

Gangland Crime. (14 Dec 2006)

Trevor Sargent: Can the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, Deputy McDowell, ensure that areas seen as soft targets for crime because of population growth in constituencies such as Deputy Glennon's and mine will receive a level of policing that will send a message to drug barons, crime lords and those engaged in murderous activity that they will be closely watched and apprehended...

Carbon Fund Bill 2006: Second Stage (14 Dec 2006)

Trevor Sargent: Tá mé ag roinnt mo chuid ama leis an Teachta Morgan. This is an important debate. The fact it is coming at the end when quite a number of Deputies have probably headed for the hills is unfortunately symptomatic——-

Carbon Fund Bill 2006: Second Stage (14 Dec 2006)

Trevor Sargent: Perhaps in their SUVs indeed. It is symptomatic of an attitude problem and also a disingenuous approach by the Minister. He says, on the one hand, the matter is very serious and we have to deal with it, but on the other that it makes no difference if we do not because Ireland is quite a small country.

Carbon Fund Bill 2006: Second Stage (14 Dec 2006)

Trevor Sargent: The Minister has to recognise that morally, as well as economically and environmentally, there is a responsibility on this country which others will watch carefully. They know that relative to other countries Ireland performs atrociously when it comes to climate change. The US, we know, is internationally the worst offender. Next, in terms of per capita emissions come Australia, New...

Carbon Fund Bill 2006: Second Stage (14 Dec 2006)

Trevor Sargent: These are not just my sums and we can talk about this afterwards, if the Minister wishes. I am putting in perspective that there is, first and foremost, a moral responsibility rather than arguing about how much it is. The bottom line is that we are failing in terms of our commitments. We are obviously hanging a great deal on the aspect of the Kyoto package which states that carbon trading...

Carbon Fund Bill 2006: Second Stage (14 Dec 2006)

Trevor Sargent: I thank the Minister for that. I am just saying he was getting the information there, as I am sure the Minister was. To give the impression that all this money is going to Africa to save people there from starvation is untrue. It seems that eastern and other parts of Europe are doing quite well.

Carbon Fund Bill 2006: Second Stage (14 Dec 2006)

Trevor Sargent: I want to correct any impression that might have been given that this is all heading for Africa. It is very important we go beyond this legislation, which is sending out the wrong signals. It is quite irresponsible economically, in that it is presuming that we will buy carbon credits for perhaps €10 or €15, or maybe €20. It is a flexible and fluctuating situation. The Stern report,...

Carbon Fund Bill 2006: Second Stage (14 Dec 2006)

Trevor Sargent: That is what Stern says it will be. I am not deciding this, and neither is the Minister. I want him to bear in mind that he may be coming at this from a completely different viewpoint from the reality. We need targets and that is something the Minister failed to accept from the Green Party when it put forward its climate change targets Bill 2005, the first legislation in this regard. That...

Carbon Fund Bill 2006: Second Stage (14 Dec 2006)

Trevor Sargent: While the Minister may say that, even an SEI-registered contractor is not obliged to have the training required in other countries. The Minister must deal with this problem.
