Seanad: Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: Report and Final Stages (9 Nov 2022)

Regina Doherty: I do not think we will be moving amendment No. 10 because it is exactly the same as amendment No. 9. For the record, I want to say I am very grateful to the Minister of State for her acceptance of this amendment.

Seanad: Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: Report and Final Stages (9 Nov 2022)

Regina Doherty: I have no idea what that actually means. Would the Minister of State mind explaining it again? I can see the value of having it in there but I do not see what it does by taking it out.

Seanad: Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: Report and Final Stages (9 Nov 2022)

Regina Doherty: I thank the Minister of State for taking on board the amendments we proposed on Committee Stage. It is very important not only to have the number of organisations cited in the legislation, but also the specificity of the organisations that are being invited. It is important that we put this out at the very beginning. Heretofore, I had argued that the large number of organisations the...

Seanad: Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: Report and Final Stages (9 Nov 2022)

Regina Doherty: I move amendment No. 14 In page 55, between lines 3 and 4, to insert the following: “(aa) electing a chair of the Forum by members of the Forum”.

Seanad: Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: Report and Final Stages (9 Nov 2022)

Regina Doherty: Notwithstanding our previous amendment, the Minister of State has agreed to determine the rules and procedures of the forum, including the composition of membership, in order to ensure good representation. What is missing from all of the legislation so far is who is going to chair the forum once it has been established. Amendment No. 14 seeks to insert the phrase "electing a chair of the...

Seanad: Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: Report and Final Stages (9 Nov 2022)

Regina Doherty: I am sorry Leas-----

Seanad: Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: Report and Final Stages (9 Nov 2022)

Regina Doherty: I am the proposer of the amendment. I can speak twice.

Seanad: Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: Report and Final Stages (9 Nov 2022)

Regina Doherty: Again, I am not even sure what the term "in consultation" means. Is this in consultation with the members of the forum, who have yet to be decided upon and whose names will be put on the website? The chair of the IAA who is the regulatory authority will consult on who should be the chair of the forum before the forum commences, and that it would be rubber stamped on the day. This is...

Seanad: Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: Report and Final Stages (9 Nov 2022)

Regina Doherty: I move amendment No. 15: In page 55, to delete lines 12 to 16 and substitute the following: “(4) (a) At its first meeting, the stakeholder forum will establish a sub-group of the stakeholder forum, referred to as the licence holders sub-forum, comprising representatives of licence holders and attested cabin crew, including but not limited to the following: (i)...

Seanad: Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: Report and Final Stages (9 Nov 2022)

Regina Doherty: On Committee Stage we agreed to establish the forum which is now a stakeholders' forum rather than a licenceholders' forum. It is a very large group of people which has value in the sharing of information, particularly around safety. However, I am concerned that a very large group of people are now responsible for creating and drafting a licenceholders' charter. We know how important the...

Seanad: Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: Report and Final Stages (9 Nov 2022)

Regina Doherty: As far as the Minister of State is concerned, there is nothing stopping the IAA from doing this. There is nothing stopping it doing anything it wants to do. It just has not done it to date, for the past 25 or 30 years. That is the concern. The lack of trust that currently exists in respect of engagements between licenceholders and the IAA has caused us to find ourselves at a point where...

Seanad: Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: Report and Final Stages (9 Nov 2022)

Regina Doherty: I move amendment No. 16. In page 56, to delete lines 3 to 39, and in page 57, to delete lines 1 to 4 and substitute the following: “65B.(1) (a) Subject to paragraph (b), the company will, at no more than three-year intervals, conduct a review of the effectiveness of airline provisions concerning crew peer support programmes. (b) The company will, not later than 12...

Seanad: Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: Report and Final Stages (9 Nov 2022)

Regina Doherty: The purpose of this amendment is to amend section 77, which seeks to review crew peer support programmes that are in existence arising from the EASA regulations that were introduced a number of years ago. There have been many hours of conversation not only between Senators and the Minister of State but also between Senators and the CEO designate - who is no longer CEO designate - with regard...

Seanad: Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: Report and Final Stages (9 Nov 2022)

Regina Doherty: I accept what the Minister of State said, except for two points. She has made me even more concerned than I was when I stood up. She seems to be under the impression that peers or people who currently work in airlines have to go to the peer support person in their own airline. She has stated this is the current practice. This is not the current practice and it is not precluded by EASA...

Seanad: Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: Report and Final Stages (9 Nov 2022)

Regina Doherty: I thank everybody for their co-operation. This has probably been the longest debate on a Bill I have ever been involved in other than the Employment (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act a number of years ago, which took a while. As I said, I believe the Bill is better today than it was when it arrived in this House but it still has some major flaws because of its omissions. Having said that, I...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Impact of Peat Shortages on the Horticulture Industry: Discussion (Resumed) (9 Nov 2022)

Regina Doherty: Change the law.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Impact of Peat Shortages on the Horticulture Industry: Discussion (Resumed) (9 Nov 2022)

Regina Doherty: No, change Irish law. It is that simple.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Impact of Peat Shortages on the Horticulture Industry: Discussion (Resumed) (9 Nov 2022)

Regina Doherty: I apologise Chair.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Impact of Peat Shortages on the Horticulture Industry: Discussion (Resumed) (9 Nov 2022)

Regina Doherty: I thank colleagues for allowing me to come in today to speak on an industry that it very important to me in north County Dublin. I thank the Minister of State for attending today because she is not the only person responsible for fixing this but she sits at the Cabinet table with officials from the other two Departments who are responsible. Therefore collectively, the three Departments have...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Impact of Peat Shortages on the Horticulture Industry: Discussion (Resumed) (9 Nov 2022)

Regina Doherty: To respond, I assume from the answer the Senator has given that she has not asked or had discussions with her own colleagues about drafting primary legislation to make the consent a single process as opposed to a dual process. Changing the law might have challenges but it certainly would be an action to show the industry we are trying to do something to alleviate the problems it has. The...
