Jim Glennon: Listening to Deputy Timmins during the past five minutes, I had to pinch myself to see whether I had suddenly been co-opted onto Wicklow County Council. I welcome the opportunity to speak on this issue. Listening to the tenor of the debate earlier, someone stated it was a nice idea on behalf of the Government to have this discussion so we could get involved in an exercise of...
- Quarterly National Household Survey: Statements. (19 Oct 2005)
Jim Glennon: However, after this discussion I have my doubts. The Opposition's performance has been quite remarkable. We have had entirely subjective opinions given from different angles and it is entirely understandable in the circumstances. I wish to make one particular point regarding a radio interview to which my colleague, the Minister of State, Deputy Kitt, referred. It is worth repeating. The...

Jim Glennon: In my earlier contribution I took issue with some points raised by the Opposition and I will continue in that vein. Deputy Burton referred to a necklace of large towns around west Dublin, naming some of them. I am interested in her sense of direction because one of the towns referred to was Balbriggan.

- Irish Ferries: Motion. (11 Oct 2005)
Jim Glennon: It is piracy on the part of a company with a recent semi-State history which has availed of an opportunity and decided to exploit it to the full. It is a weakness in international law which is difficult to circumvent. The laws applying in such circumstances are not the laws of this country. The partnership forum is the appropriate forum for the development of goodwill between both sides. With...
- Irish Ferries: Motion. (11 Oct 2005)
Jim Glennon: ââand outside the spirit of the framework of any law. It is the responsibility of the Government to look after the employees as best it can. I am confident the Ministers of State, Deputies Gallagher and Killeen, are discharging their duties to the full and will be seen in due course to have done so. I refer to a number of points addressed by the Minister of State, Deputy Killeen, in his...
- Irish Ferries: Motion. (11 Oct 2005)
Jim Glennon: If the law could be changed as glibly and with such facility as a comment across the floor of the House, it would be a great thing to do. It would be wonderful if it were all that simple. The Deputy knows that Irish law cannot be extended to an area over which the State has no jurisdiction. Irish law cannot be applied automatically to a ship sailing in and out of Ireland or indeed to an...
