- Petroleum (Exploration and Extraction) Safety Bill 2010 [Seanad]: Report Stage (Resumed) (24 Mar 2010)
Liz McManus: I welcome the completion of the passage of the Bill through the House. It is important that we have dealt with an issue of safety that was highlighted as a result of the controversy surrounding the development at Corrib. Some good has come out of that sorry saga. I thank the Minister of State for his openness in accepting amendments. That approach is to his credit and has improved the...
- Petroleum (Exploration and Extraction) Safety Bill 2010 [Seanad]: Report Stage (24 Mar 2010)
Liz McManus: I welcome the Minister's amendments and I am willing to withdraw my amendment No. 17. It is noteworthy that the Minister is introducing, in amendment No. 19, a provision which allows for public consultation on a draft of the proposed safety framework where an invitation is made by the commission "by means of a notice to that effect published in a newspaper circulating within the State and...
- Petroleum (Exploration and Extraction) Safety Bill 2010 [Seanad]: Report Stage (24 Mar 2010)
Liz McManus: I support Deputy Coveney's amendment. It is an indication of a certain mindset that a reference to "the relevant local authority" was not included in this legislation as a matter of course.

Like many of us, the Minister of State is probably aware that there is a great disconnect between...

- Inland Fisheries Bill 2009: Report and Final Stages (11 Mar 2010)
Liz McManus: While I do not want to delay the discussion, I too am concerned. I am surprised this issue has not been addressed because it was raised previously by Deputy Coveney. My concern is also due to the current climate. It is not as if there is any room for manoeuvre. According to the legislation, the person "shall" cease to hold office. Yet, as any of us who run clinics will know, there are...
- Inland Fisheries Bill 2009: Report and Final Stages (11 Mar 2010)
Liz McManus: It would be wrong not to note that the serious venality we have witnessed in recent years was not the responsibility of people who were broke but the responsibility of those who had an awful lot of money.
- Inland Fisheries Bill 2009: Report and Final Stages (11 Mar 2010)
Liz McManus: This problem is arising more and more with the Minister's Department and the legislation that comes through. This sort of thing should have been sorted out before the Bill was published. With all due respect to the Minister, I think he really needs to take a very close look. The Minister of State, Deputy Conor Lenihan, has agreed there is a problem there. I do not mean any disrespect to...
