Seanad: Dormant Accounts (Amendment) Bill 2004: Committee Stage. (7 Jul 2004)

Cyprian Brady: I did not interrupt the Senator. I have listened to the arguments but the provisions are in black and white.

The Bill is welcome and, as...

Seanad: National Monuments (Amendment) Bill 2004: Report and Final Stages. (7 Jul 2004)

Cyprian Brady: I disagree totally because the section is crucial to the legislation. Section 5(2)(d) refers to the Minister considering proposals in the public interest and that is what the legislation is about. The section ensures many monuments and sites of historical and other interest will be maintained well into the future. Fines and other penalties are also outlined and they have been increased...

Seanad: Residential Tenancies Bill 2003: Committee Stage. (6 Jul 2004)

Cyprian Brady: We are in the realm of repetition here. The thrust of this amendment is the same as that of the last. As the Minister of State has pointed out, adequate legislative provisions cover these issues and adequate investment and resources are being put into this area.

Seanad: Residential Tenancies Bill 2003: Second Stage. (2 Jul 2004)

Cyprian Brady: I, too, welcome the Minister of State and I warmly welcome the publication of this Bill, which has been a long time coming.

One word would sum up the Bill, and that is "balanced". It is balanced...

Seanad: National Monuments (Amendment) Bill 2004: Second Stage. (1 Jul 2004)

Cyprian Brady: I welcome the Minister of State. I also welcome the publication of this Bill and the opportunity to speak on it. Varying views have been expressed on both sides of the House but we all agree on the responsibility to preserve our heritage. Senator Bannon noted the different types of heritage we have in Ireland and nobody in this House has ever said that we have no responsibility in that area....
