Foreshore and Dumping at Sea (Amendment) Bill 2009 [Seanad]: Second Stage (3 Dec 2009)

P J Sheehan: While I welcome the Bill, many points require clarification. I must state here and now that I welcome it to see whether it will expedite decisions on applications lying in the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food for the past number of years that have not been dealt with. It is a sad reflection that people in my constituency who have applied for foreshore licences to develop...

Foreshore and Dumping at Sea (Amendment) Bill 2009 [Seanad]: Second Stage (3 Dec 2009)

P J Sheehan: The Minister of State can deal with that and the flooding. He is not too far from it and if he could look after the flooding in the River Lee, there would not be such devastation in Cork. At long last it looks like the Government has seen the light of day. I am amazed at the Minister of State with responsibility for the marine dragging his feet. I know people who applied for foreshore...

Telecommunications Services. (25 Nov 2009)

Telecommunications Services. (25 Nov 2009)

Flood Relief: Statements. (24 Nov 2009)

P J Sheehan: I represent the people of west Cork, particularly the people of Bandon, Skibbereen and Clonakilty, who have been so badly affected by flooding since last Thursday. In Bandon, one could have sailed a boat up and down the town. The same was true of Skibbereen. This is due to the lack of dredging and clearing of the River Bandon and the River Ilen in Skibbereen. Fifteen years ago, Cork...
