Public Private Partnerships: Motion. (8 Jul 2008)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I welcome this important Private Members' motion from the Labour Party.

Requests to move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 32 (8 Jul 2008)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Ba mhaith liom cead a lorg rún a rith chun an Dáil a chur ar athló chun gné rí-thábhactach a phlé láithreach, namely, the very serious concern that Crumlin children's hospital is putting children's lives at risk with the latest cutbacks which involve closing down a ward which caters for cystic fibrosis patients at weekends and the need for the Minister for Health and Children to...

Order of Business (8 Jul 2008)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Tá mise i gcoinne an mholta deireadh a chur leis an díospóireacht seo ag an tam luaite, toisc gur An Bille um Údarás Iompair Bhaile Átha Cliath 2008 atá ann. Le breis agus bliain anuas táimid ag fanacht ar an reachtaíocht sa Teach seo. San am sin bhí amanna ann nach raibh aon reachtaíocht againn le plé. Anois, mar is gnáth, tá an Rialtas ag déanamh iarrachta deifir a chur ar...

Dublin Transport Authority Bill 2008 [Seanad]: Report Stage (2 Jul 2008)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: There is a logic to Deputy O'Dowd's amendment, given the substantial growth that has taken place in the area of south Louth in particular. I do not think the people of south Louth would be too concerned about coming under the umbrella of Dublin, but if need be we could change the title to the Greater Dublin Transport Authority Bill.
