Trevor Sargent: Question 494: To ask the Minister for Agriculture and Food if her attention has been drawn to the fact that Ireland has been put on a shortlist of countries that are among the world's worst forestry operators; and if her attention has further been drawn to the fact that several environmental groups have called for Ireland to be stripped of its Forestry Stewardship Council accreditation....

Order of Business (21 Nov 2006)

Trevor Sargent: Given the Taoiseach mentioned dead wood, I would like to ask about the forestry (amendment) Bill which will not even achieve half of the Government target of 20,000 hectares of forestry per annum. The budget for the forestry programme was slashed by 3% in the Book of Estimates. Will the Bill come before us in 2007, as provided for, or has the Government given up on it? Has the Taoiseach...

Leaders' Questions (21 Nov 2006)

Trevor Sargent: I represent a community of north County Dublin traumatised by extreme brutality and obscene violence during the past couple of days and weeks. On 6 November a grenade exploded outside a house in Ridgewood Green, Swords, a matter I raised in the House at the time. Half an hour after that attack another grenade attack took place in Finglas. Last weekend two girls, aged four and six years,...

Leaders' Questions (21 Nov 2006)

Trevor Sargent: I am not asking the Taoiseach about national Garda figures but will he direct Government policy to benchmark and resource facilities, such as Garda resources, to match the population size in a town like Swords? We need a task force on meeting the needs of fast growing commuter-belt towns, not only in north County Dublin but throughout the country where commuter belt towns are experiencing an...

Trevor Sargent: Not in those areas.

Leaders' Questions (21 Nov 2006)

Trevor Sargent: I had an idea the Taoiseach would say operational matters were someone else's problem. I recall him declaring an interest in the writings of Mr. Putnam in his book Bowling Alone and how community values and building communities was an area in which he had an interest. The evidence, however, is exactly the opposite. That is the reason I ask what he will do given that he has declared an...

Leaders' Questions (21 Nov 2006)

Trevor Sargent: Waterford city is entitled to its facilities and I would not take any of them away. Will the Taoiseach recognise the deficit from Government policy in pushing housing development without facilities to match that level of housing? Will he undertake to put in place a task force to indicate he means what he says when he talks about the value of building communities? These crime figures are...

Leaders' Questions (21 Nov 2006)

Trevor Sargent: I am trying to put it in context. Will the Taoiseach direct that the resources are put in place in those communities that do not have them?

Constitutional Amendments. (21 Nov 2006)

Trevor Sargent: I find the discussion on referenda somewhat bizarre given that it seems to be developing into a pattern. In the cold light of day the recommendation that we should have a referendum on the St. Andrews Agreement does not seem like such a good idea and the Green Party does not support it given that we thought the referendum on the Good Friday Agreement was the decisive referendum. A...

Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions. (21 Nov 2006)

Trevor Sargent: The call from the DPP for a more transparent sentencing policy is welcome. In regard to the actual office and the question in hand, is the Taoiseach taking seriously the Law Society's concerns based on the fact that in 2005 some 37% of cases were not proceeded with, apparently due to lack of resources? Given that the workload is increasing how is it possible to justify in the Estimates a...
