Seanad: Company Closures: Motion (Resumed) (28 Sep 2011)

Seanad: Company Closures: Motion (Resumed) (28 Sep 2011)

Denis Landy: Perhaps his memory has been erased in some way since he came to the House.

Seanad: Company Closures: Motion (Resumed) (28 Sep 2011)

Denis Landy: Senator Quinn commented that we should not put obstacles in the way of jobs. This motion does not intend to do so. I realise he made his comments with the best of intentions but this motion is about protecting people. At the outset I stated that I do not believe that any company coming here which is in receipt of handsome grants from the IDA and which is asked to sign up to something to...

Seanad: Order of Business (5 Oct 2011)

Denis Landy: I am seeking advice from the Cathaoirleach. I intend to raise a number of issues with the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources, while another Senator who already spoke here intends to raise matters tomorrow with the Minister for Finance. Can I raise these issues now and then raise them again this afternoon? What is the procedure? People seem to be jumping up and down...

Seanad: Order of Business (5 Oct 2011)

Denis Landy: I have, but I do not want to waste the Cathaoirleach's time. I am asking for advice on this.

Seanad: Order of Business (5 Oct 2011)

Denis Landy: That is fine.

Seanad: Order of Business (12 Oct 2011)

Denis Landy: I commend Senator Zappone on her achievement in having the loop included in the Seanad Chamber. As someone who suffers from a hearing disability, I have quite a lot of difficulty in this Chamber so I hope it will improve my ability to understand. Perhaps "understand" is the wrong word because sometimes one may not understand what is going on in the House regardless of whether one can hear...

Seanad: Order of Business (12 Oct 2011)

Denis Landy: That is why I am asking the Leader to ask the Minister for Justice and Equality to take up this issue with the Garda Síochána. It is becoming prevalent in rural Ireland with a consequent negative effect for businesses. The stolen telephone cable is being illegally exported to Bristol where it is stripped for its copper value. There is quite a lucrative business going on around the theft...

Seanad: Order of Business (12 Oct 2011)

Denis Landy: If the Cathaoirleach will allow me to do so, I will put a question to the Leader. I have been in contact with Customs and Excise, whose representatives met me in Leinster House. They told me that the technology being used by those who are washing diesel has outpaced their ability to detect it. They do not have the necessary resources and funding to bring such people to court. I brought a...

Seanad: Order of Business (12 Oct 2011)

Denis Landy: I am just finishing. I brought a sample of the diesel to the Customs and Excise representatives. Even though I could tell them where and when I bought it, and they were already watching the garage, because the scientific methodology is far ahead of their ability to detect it, they need more funding to bring such illegal activities to book. The Leader should raise the matter with the...

Denis Landy: Bring the potential President in front of it.

Seanad: Army Barracks Closures: Motion (19 Oct 2011)

Denis Landy: I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Kehoe. I served with his uncle Tony, a former councillor in Carrick-on-Suir, for many years. I also welcome the group in the Gallery representing the Army spouses, particularly Councillor Patricia Walsh, who is a good friend of mine. She is married to a Carrick-on-Suir man, who is also a very good friend. She took a good name with her to Cavan. I...

Seanad: Army Barracks Closures: Motion (19 Oct 2011)

Denis Landy: Do not come to the House paying platitudes to those in the Visitors' Gallery who are distressed and concerned about this issue. There is money there because Sinn Féin voted for it. Its members should be honest with people; I have been honest with people. I thank the Minister of State for coming to the House. I hope he will convey the issues raised by myself and other Senators to the...
