Public Transport. (2 Nov 2004)

Eamon Ryan: The Minister is probably still being briefed on issues, given his brief time in the Department.

In other words, regardless of whether CIE services are open to competition, there may be a case for establishing a separate body to set the level of services the transport companies...

Public Transport. (2 Nov 2004)

Eamon Ryan: Does the Minister agree it is the same issue because consideration should be given to the public transport services that should be provided, as Deputy Shortall said? A regulator is an independent body who could analyse and provide details. The Minister could then decide whether public or private operators should provide the service. Surely that comes first, before the Minister examines...

Rail Accidents. (2 Nov 2004)

Eamon Ryan: Is the Minister aware that such has been the success of the Luas, particularly the green line, that the morning trams are packed with passengers which is very welcome but which raises concerns about safety in the event of any further accident occurring involving congested trams?

Child Care: Motion. (2 Nov 2004)

Eamon Ryan: I commend the Sinn Féin Members for tabling this motion allowing for this important and needed debate. However, I am critical of some aspects of the motion. Some of its sections could have come from a Government motion, particularly the section that sets out the goals to be established by the State for child care. These goals are again centred around economic issues. The main criticism of...

Tax Code. (16 Nov 2004)

Eamon Ryan: Will the Minister make available to Members such a report and analysis, given that it is a very important issue for many Irish companies and others based here but held abroad? Is the Minister aware of the figures recently quoted in various media that in 2001 $26 billion in profits was made by American companies? Given those figures and since a large part will not have been repatriated because...

Tax Code. (16 Nov 2004)

Eamon Ryan: Is the Minister aware that, in tables showing repatriated and overseas profits, Ireland, a relatively small country on the world stage, is at the top, with far more significant overseas profits than any other industrialised country with which we might like to compare ourselves, including Germany and Britain? Does he agree that, while the Taoiseach obviously cheered on the re-election of...

Lisbon Agenda. (16 Nov 2004)

Eamon Ryan: During the debate on the Industrial Development (Science Foundation Ireland) Act 2003, much consideration was given to broadening the areas of investment for research beyond the current two, information technology and biopharmacy, to a third category, sustainable technologies. Given the dramatic increase in the price of oil since and the resultant cost to the State, is the Minister of State...
