Grangegorman Development Agency Bill 2004: Report Stage. (31 May 2005)

Jan O'Sullivan: I have tabled amendments Nos. 29, 40 and 41. Amendment No. 29 is similar to Deputy Gregory's No. 28 in that it seeks to ensure local residents would be consulted about the strategic plan. Amendments Nos. 40 and 41 also relate to the strategic plan. Amendment No. 40 seeks to amend section 11(3) in order that when the agency is preparing a draft of the strategic plan, it would have to "consult...

Grangegorman Development Agency Bill 2004: Report Stage. (31 May 2005)

Jan O'Sullivan: I also wanted to make that point. The Minister's amendment means the local residents must be consulted in preparing the draft of the strategic plan, whereas my amendments would mean there would be consultation with the local organisations on the strategic plan and their plans. My amendment would be included in subsection (2) rather than subsection (3). It would be stronger to include it in...

Grangegorman Development Agency Bill 2004: Report Stage. (31 May 2005)

Jan O'Sullivan: I do not see why specific reference cannot be made because the Bill contains a long list of items to be included in the strategic plan. In reference to amendment No. 32, I do not understand why a provision for facilities and educational programmes that will enhance the social and community and development needs of people living in the area cannot be inserted into the legislation. It is not...

Grangegorman Development Agency Bill 2004: Report Stage (Resumed). (1 Jun 2005)

Jan O'Sullivan: I move amendment No. 52: In page 14, to delete lines 37 and 38. This amendment relates to whether the chief executive should also be a member of the authority. General precedent is that chief executives would attend meetings of the body of which they are chief executive, but that generally speaking they are not actually a member of the governing authority. There may be some exceptions to that...

Grangegorman Development Agency Bill 2004: Report Stage (Resumed). (1 Jun 2005)

Jan O'Sullivan: There are differing practices with regard to whether chief executives are part of the governing authority. It would be more useful to have a separation between the executive and the body in charge so as not to blur responsibilities. I raised this amendment for the Minister's consideration, but will not press it. With regard to amendment No. 86, I feel strongly there should be an opportunity...
