Seanad: Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Bill 2006: Committee Stage (Resumed). (2 Jun 2006)

Cyprian Brady: On the issue of age, we need only examine the statistics from the sexually transmitted disease units in Temple Street and the Mater to see that those involved are getting younger. We must take that into account. We can debate the differentiation between male and female, but age is something that must be given very careful consideration. Children are sexually active a lot younger than they...

Seanad: Local Authority Operations: Motion. (24 May 2006)

Cyprian Brady: I welcome the Minister to the House and I fully support the motion. Vast development has taken place in Dublin in the last ten years. There were 99,000 planning applications last year alone, with 81,000 completions nationally. Those figures have increased consistently every year. Inconsistency is the problem with apartment complexes. Some complexes are working perfectly and residents in them...

Seanad: Waste Management: Statements. (17 May 2006)

Cyprian Brady: I, too, welcome the Minister of State to the House and the opportunity to debate waste management. Other Senators have pointed out that it affects everybody, regardless of their age, profession or location. The management of what we produce as consumers must be taken extremely seriously. I recently visited the headquarters of the Environmental Protection Agency in Johnstown Castle in Wexford....

Seanad: Planning and Development (Strategic Infrastructure) Bill 2006: Report and Final Stages. (16 May 2006)

Cyprian Brady: Some of the projects to be dealt with under this legislation will be among the largest in the history of the State. They will be even bigger into the future. I suggest that the 18-week interval could be found at some stage in the future to be too short and extensions may be sought. It does, at least, leave it open for decisions to be made quicker, if it says "within a period of 18 weeks". In...

Cyprian Brady: I thank the Minister and his officials and commend them on the progressive stance taken on this Bill. This is one of the most important Bills for the future of the country as we are economically in the position to plan ahead for these developments. I look forward to discussing aspects of this Bill with Senator Bannon.

Seanad: Planning and Development (Strategic Infrastructure) Bill 2006: Report and Final Stages. (16 May 2006)

Cyprian Brady: The board requests the observation in the previous section of the Bill which means it will take them into consideration. It is straightforward from that point of view.

Seanad: Electoral Register: Motion. (10 May 2006)

Cyprian Brady: I welcome the Minister of State and this debate. I disagree that this issue has arisen due to media reporting. For example, the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment and Local Government has discussed the matter for the past 18 months at least. Committee members discussed the draft guidelines in detail. In my local organisation, motions have been tabled and passed in respect of this...

Seanad: Electoral Register: Motion. (10 May 2006)

Cyprian Brady: It was not. It was seen in the locality as being non-political because of who was behind it and how it was done. If the Senator knew the parish priest in question, he would understand why it was non-political. Recently in East Wall, the Vincentian Partnership has begun a local education process. Last week, it held a public meeting on how to register and why one should so do, to which three...

Seanad: Electoral Register: Motion. (10 May 2006)

Cyprian Brady: Every possible obstacle was put in the way. I find it incredible that one of the world's leading producers of software cannot come up with such a system. Electronic voting is used in countries such as France, Germany and Holland. Moreover, as countries such as India, in which hundreds of millions of people vote simultaneously use it extensively, Ireland must consider its adoption at some...

Seanad: Electoral Register: Motion. (10 May 2006)

Cyprian Brady: That was more a mechanical system than an electronic system.

Seanad: Order of Business. (9 May 2006)

Cyprian Brady: I also wish to be associated with Senator O'Toole's recognition of the work of the late Máire Buckley. I had first-hand experience of her commitment. Even though she retired last September, she attended and organised last year's Christmas party and concert at the Rutland Street school. Her loss will leave a large gap, not alone in the Rutland Street and Marlborough Street schools, but...

Seanad: Planning and Development (Strategic Infrastructure) Bill 2006: Committee Stage. (3 May 2006)

Cyprian Brady: I am pleased Senator Bannon recognises that the Minister and the Department are listening. I very much welcome the amendments, which clarify a number of high profile issues that have been raised recently. I am also pleased safeguards are built into the section regarding consultation, advertising and the various conditions put on the applicants. The Opposition has been calling for a long time...
