Other Questions: Penalty Points System (6 Feb 2013)

Clare Daly: The Minister is doing his best to ignore the seriousness of this issue. However, I must warn him that it will not go away. He has stated that Members are prejudging the outcome of his internal investigation. That investigation is already substantially discredited. While the Garda Commissioner to whom the Minister referred, Commissioner Callinan, issued a press statement in December in...

Death of Member: Expressions of Sympathy (6 Feb 2013)

Clare Daly: I am very grateful for the opportunity to say a few words about Shane.

Other Questions: Property Taxation (5 Feb 2013)

Clare Daly: There is a contradiction in what the Minister said in terms of his statement that this so-called misnamed property tax is to provide a secure funding base for local authorities and his proposal to bill local authorities for 130,000 units. The dogs in the street know that cost will be passed on to tenants. Many local authorities have already done so. Against the backdrop of massive rent...

Other Questions: Commercial Rates Calculations (5 Feb 2013)

Clare Daly: Development levies have nothing to do with this at all. The Minister mentioned the Valuation (Amendment)(No. 2) Bill on a number of occasions but there are problems with it. There has been an inordinate delay in bringing it before us. Six months is the difference between a small business going under and surviving. My experience is that local authorities are not flexible. They tell...

[4876/13]

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Electricity Transmission Network (31 Jan 2013)

Clare Daly: In effect, the Minister is trying to say that any problems there might be are for the company, not for him. He then goes on to minimise the scale of the problems as they exist. Contrary to the assertions in the Minister's answer, the east-west interconnector was commercially inoperable for three months after its official launch. Since December, it has operated at approximately half its...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Electricity Transmission Network (31 Jan 2013)

Clare Daly: That was an absolutely shocking reply. We are discussing a situation in which the interconnector will be shut down for four to six weeks. It is wrong to claim that this is a question of a few technical matters. We are discussing the fact that a multi-million-euro project has been delayed for six months to date, yet the Minister expects us to believe it is a only a matter of the usual...
