Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care: Medication and Talk Therapy: Discussion (7 Feb 2018)

John Brassil: I do not believe I heard about the cost of the CfD so could the witnesses forward it to me? Is play therapy on the witnesses' radar? A few people have contacted me about it and it seems a very good early intervention technique. When Dr. O'Shea appeared before the Committee on the Future of Healthcare, he strongly advocated for a new GP contract as being critical to any progress. We are a...

Questions on Promised Legislation (1 Feb 2018)

Affordable Housing: Motion [Private Members] (30 Jan 2018)

John Brassil: I wish to bring forward a few thoughts as to why we are continually making announcements on re-launches of housing plans and are falling short of our targets every time. It is an unending circle. For example, this time last year, a repair-and-lease scheme was announced under which disused properties in towns and villages and, indeed, in countryside were to be brought back into use. A loan...

Order of Business (30 Jan 2018)

John Brassil: Page 125 of the programme for Government outlines support for an LNG project in Ballylongford, County Kerry.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Hen Harrier Programme: Discussion (30 Jan 2018)

John Brassil: I also welcome the delegation. Mr. Jason Fitzgerald has visited my constituency clinic on a few occasions. I compliment him on his work on behalf of the organisation in trying to keep the issue burning and hopefully eventually get some level of satisfaction. When we spoke last, he outlined that if the commitments given in 2007 had been upheld and adhered to, he probably would not have been...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Hen Harrier Programme: Discussion (30 Jan 2018)

John Brassil: I thank the officials for coming in and presenting their case to us. As I do not want to be repetitive, I will ask Mr. Hayes some specific questions and I would appreciate if he could answer them as specifically as he can. In 2007, the farmers affected were offered in good faith three very clear promises: an adequate compensation scheme, access to afforestation, and a devaluation...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Hen Harrier Programme: Discussion (30 Jan 2018)

John Brassil: No, I want to follow on. I just want to understand something. Mr. Hayes said that the commitments or promises given in 2007 were given by somebody else. Who was that other person?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Hen Harrier Programme: Discussion (30 Jan 2018)

John Brassil: With the greatest respect to Mr. Hayes, the National Parks and Wildlife Service is an arm of this State. The people in the room and those listening to these proceedings do not differentiate between the National Parks and Wildlife Service and the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine. When a commitment is given by an arm of this State they take it in good faith. It is not good...
