Extreme Weather (Miscellaneous Provisions Bill) 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (19 Apr 2018)

David Cullinane: The Minister of State said a number of times that Fianna Fáil, the main party of Opposition, also supports his concerns about the Bill. Fianna Fáil is keeping his party in government. The Minister of State's contribution was a carbon copy of those of Fianna Fáil Members so there must have been tick-tacking between the two parties in government.

Extreme Weather (Miscellaneous Provisions Bill) 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (19 Apr 2018)

David Cullinane: I am sorry if that upsets Fianna Fáil Members but that is the reality.

Extreme Weather (Miscellaneous Provisions Bill) 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (19 Apr 2018)

David Cullinane: The Minister of State said that employers should assess the risks but, as Teachta Adams said, he ignored the reality that Met Éireann assesses the risks and all the information it works with determines the weather event we are facing and the ability of emergency services to respond. Once staff analyse all the information they have, which is difficult work, they then adjudicate on the...

Extreme Weather (Miscellaneous Provisions Bill) 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (19 Apr 2018)

David Cullinane: It is ironic, I suppose, in some respects that we are moving this Bill on a day when it is so beautiful outside and the sun is shining. That is a result of the lottery system we have.

Extreme Weather (Miscellaneous Provisions Bill) 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (19 Apr 2018)

David Cullinane: Extreme weather events are very rare. Weather events such as Storm Ophelia and the snow we witnessed recently are not everyday occurrences. They are rare and that is their nature. It is why Met Éireann and the Government, to be fair, take all this seriously. It is the reason we have different categories of warning, with the highest being a status red alert. The Bill does three...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Apr 2018)

David Cullinane: I wish to raise a more fundamental point in regard to this correspondence. It is fair to say that when Accounting Officers come in and we put very detailed and specific questions to them, they will not always have the necessary information at their fingertips, so it is reasonable that follow-on information is sometimes needed.
