Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) (20 Feb 2019)

Tommy Broughan: I support Deputies Daly and Munster and her Sinn Féin colleagues on this. It was shattering to find in that report, to which previous speakers referred, Fingal County Council's clear desire not to be the noise regulator for all the reasons we laid out last week. If we had known about that letter last week, the debate in that regard would have been even more vigorous. Obviously there...

Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) (20 Feb 2019)

Tommy Broughan: I move amendment No. 45:In page 10, line 13, after “2006)” to insert “, Regulation (EU) No 598/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014”.

Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) (20 Feb 2019)

Tommy Broughan: Deputy Clare Daly has essentially made the point that I had intended to make. People want the competent authority, Fingal County Council, to rigorously adhere to the latest noise regulation, which is what we are trying to achieve.

Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) (20 Feb 2019)

Tommy Broughan: I am not a member of the transport committee so I did not get a chance to follow this debate but I sought to do something similar with amendment No. 45. The Minister spoke to me about this earlier, I think. I refer to the references to SI 549 and the fact that the statutory instrument is the Irish enactment of Directive 2002/49/EC. I think the concern constituents have is that the...

Presentation and Circulation of Further Revised Estimates 2019: Motion (20 Feb 2019)

Tommy Broughan: The budget we approved last October included €7.3 billion of capital expenditure, as the Minister noted. The allocation for capital spending since then has shown a welcome return to investment in public infrastructure.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Public Inquiries (20 Feb 2019)

Tommy Broughan: If Judge Haughton asked the Minister to move straight to establishing a full public inquiry under the 2004 legislation, would the Minister do so? The four-year GSOC investigation was unsatisfactory and we know little about the issue of disciplinary action. We need justice for Shane, his mother, Lucia, and the whole family. There is no need for a scoping inquiry. We should be able to...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Public Inquiries (20 Feb 2019)

Tommy Broughan: We all watched Shane O'Farrell's mother, Lucia, speak with great sadness and eloquence on "Prime Time" last week and make an unanswerable case for a full public inquiry. Both Houses of the Oireachtas have voted for that and overwhelmingly want it. This young man would still be alive had the criminal justice system and certain gardaí done their jobs properly. That is the crux of the...
