Committee on Public Petitions: Business of Joint Committee (21 Mar 2024)

Pat Buckley: ...keep coming back with references to Part 8 planning. You cannot involve a county council in a planning issue if those unauthorised developments never had planning in the first place and never applied for planning. It is technically a theft of land from Waterways Ireland, which is the custodian of this for all the citizens of the Thirty-two Counties. Then, when the crap hits the fan,...

Committee on Public Petitions: Business of Joint Committee (Resumed) (22 Feb 2024)

Pat Buckley: ...asked about the rest of the council responses - the majority of the councils are coming back and saying that it is under the Planning Acts. It cannot be under the Planning Acts if planning was never applied for. Waterways Ireland has already acknowledged the possibilities of authorised and unauthorised developments on Waterways Ireland's property. I am anxious to see what the rest of...

Committee on Public Petitions: Decisions on Public Petitions Received (14 Dec 2023)

Pat Buckley: If I remember correctly going back years ago, it is on licence fees. As I said in the meeting, we took the remains of 92 nuns out of a graveyard in Youghal. To re-inter them we had to apply for an exemption licence to remove them. If the Department is using this as an excuse it is very wishy-washy.

Committee on Key Issues affecting the Traveller Community: Traveller Accommodation: Discussion (Resumed) (7 Dec 2023)

Pat Buckley: ...? This is not really a question to the witnesses. If they were on any other housing list, not part of a Traveller organisation, and were told as an applicant that they needed to put €40,000 down before applying for housing - I could not repeat the words here, but you know what you would be told. That is the beauty of this committee. People need to hear this. It is possibly...

Committee on Public Petitions: Reform of Insurance for Thatched Heritage Buildings: Discussion (Resumed) (30 Nov 2023)

Pat Buckley: ...time, the insurance company says they are high risk and bumps up the quote by about 90%. The individual then has to go back and get three different refusal quotes, which is degrading, before they can apply to, I think, Insurance Ireland to instruct the original insurer to give them a realistic quote for insurance. Why can this not be done with thatched houses? If somebody has insurance...

Pat Buckley: ...funding - can be drawn down as soon as possible? What happens to businesses and householders that have already drawn down the humanitarian aid funding in the past? Are they allowed to apply for it again? Do they need to have their house or business insured? Will there be a dedicated email for public representatives and Deputies? Many householders and businesses in east Cork do not...

Committee on Key Issues affecting the Traveller Community: Accommodation for Travellers: Discussion (21 Sep 2023)

Pat Buckley: ...people. There is one thing I found very strange. It is slightly off the accommodation side, but it has to do with it. If there are two or three families living on the same halting site with the same surname applying for fuel allowance, it must be very difficult. It is the same address. There are families living in one site, but only one family is going to get that fuel allowance...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism: Autism Policy (Resumed): Discussion. (25 Apr 2023)

Pat Buckley: ...area of CAMHS and disabilities where, surprise, surprise, when patients hit 18 years of age they are on their own. I hate using the word "disability" or "disabled" because for me, it is a tag. A tag is applied to a section, the disability section, and it is assumed that people will be grand on their own. They will get nothing in terms of services but the Department will give them a few...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism: Autism Policy: Discussion (Resumed) (18 Apr 2023)

Pat Buckley: ...if it is not built, there is an issue. Is the council facing that challenge as well? We know that we have a major issue with housing as it is. When there is a need for specific housing, a person applies and the specific type of building is not available, how does it work? How does the council approach it?

Pat Buckley: ...fellow who had to travel from Cork to be in Meath at 9.30 a.m. just to get his book stamped before coming back down to Cork. These are all added expenses. We have a minimum wage but it does not apply to apprenticeships. The national minimum wage is €10.50 for those aged over 20, €8.40 for those aged 18 and €7.35 for those aged under 18.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Apprenticeship Programmes (21 Feb 2023)

Pat Buckley: ...of State understand my point? I am acting as a voice for parents who need answers and are asking if there are alternatives or ways to assist their children. I know different criteria apply to certain crafts on the list but there are others serving their time whose craft will probably not be on this list. That is why I am asking this question. I was not expecting major answers. I...

Committee on Public Petitions: Consideration of Public Petition on Taking in Charge (Resumed): Tipperary County Council (27 Oct 2022)

Pat Buckley: ...of this a number of years ago. When the circular came out from the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government for the only tranche of moneys for the DPIs, why was Mr. Coskeran's one not applied for? What I am trying to find out is who has really messed up here? Mr. McGrath stated earlier that it was a failed transition from the council to Irish Water. Before the municipal...

Committee on Public Petitions: Consideration of Public Petition on Taking in Charge (Resumed): Tipperary County Council (27 Oct 2022)

Pat Buckley: When the applicants applied for the taking in charge, there must have been a response as to whether X,Y and Z had been done in regard to snagging on the site, whether the footpaths were okay, whether the camera had gone down the sewer and whether the water had been checked. Surely there was a signing off on that. I am asking that because I am trying to support the council. Mr. Coskeran...
