National Monuments (Amendment) Bill 2004: Second Stage. (17 Jun 2004)

Arthur Morgan: I do not mind if the Minister heckles me. I am getting used to it.

National Monuments (Amendment) Bill 2004: Second Stage. (17 Jun 2004)

Arthur Morgan: Unsurprisingly, the Minister has introduced a Bill which seeks to put developers and the interests of the National Roads Authority before safeguarding our heritage. Why does it not surprise me? Like so much of the legislation recently brought before the House by the coalition, this is emergency legislation necessitated by the fact that the Supreme Court ruled that the Government was not...

National Monuments (Amendment) Bill 2004: Second Stage. (17 Jun 2004)

Arthur Morgan: I am unhappy with most of what the Minister has done to date, not least the Protection of the Environment Bill, but also many other Bills on which I am happy to disagree with him. The basic, underlying theory of the Bill is to permit the destruction of national monuments to facilitate infrastuctural developments. Its introduction makes clear that the Minister is as unsuited to holding...

National Monuments (Amendment) Bill 2004: Second Stage. (17 Jun 2004)

Arthur Morgan: The Minister should wait for the amendment. Under section 14(3)(d) as inserted by section 5, the Minister will be permitted to have regard to a matter of policy of the Government or any other Minister and, under section 14(3)(f) as inserted by section 5, to the cost implications that would in his or her opinion result from granting such a consent. This is a wide provision. I am also concerned...

Written Answers — Trade Union Recognition: Trade Union Recognition (17 Jun 2004)

Arthur Morgan: Question 47: To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, further to Question No. 56 of 13 May 2004, the details of the meeting which she held in June 1999 with representatives of a number of high-tech companies at which the issue of trade union recognition was on the agenda; the context in which trade union recognition was put on the agenda at that meeting; if she...

Request to move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 31. (5 Oct 2004)

Arthur Morgan: I seek leave to move a motion for the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to discuss the following matter of urgent public concern, namely, the cancellation of elective surgery at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda in the past week; the unacceptable situation whereby the same hospital was on the verge of having to go off call due to a shortage of resources; the urgent...

Water Services Bill 2003 [Seanad]: Second Stage. (5 Oct 2004)

Arthur Morgan: I wish to share time with Deputies Joe Higgins, Cowley and Cuffe.

Water Services Bill 2003 [Seanad]: Second Stage. (5 Oct 2004)

Arthur Morgan: I have extreme reservations about this legislation. While I accept that a consolidation of the various legislative measures relating to water services dating back to the 19th century is long overdue, I question whether it was necessary to produce a legislative tome of this nature. I refer to its content rather than its size. I wish to focus on a particular concern relating to the introduction...

Water Services Bill 2003 [Seanad]: Second Stage. (5 Oct 2004)

Arthur Morgan: I do not believe a word of it. It also causes me considerable concern that this Bill has emanated from a Department under his guidance and probably explains why it is so extremely right-wing in terms of its proposals. The Water Services Bill should not have been intended to facilitate the privatisation of water services. However, given the Government's record on promises and in particular the...

Written Answers — Post Office Network: Post Office Network (5 Oct 2004)

Arthur Morgan: Question 356: To ask the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources the plans he has to ensure An Post maintains rural post offices and provide services for rural communities; if rural post offices, such as the one at Kilkerley, County Louth where there are no other offices available to the community, will be kept open to offer a proper service to that community; and if he will...

Written Answers — Visa Applications: Visa Applications (5 Oct 2004)

Arthur Morgan: Question 417: To ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform when a visa application will be processed for a person, details supplied; the reason for the delay in processing this application; and if the processing of visa applications will be speeded up. [23271/04]

Written Answers — National Drugs Strategy: National Drugs Strategy (5 Oct 2004)

Arthur Morgan: Question 465: To ask the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs if he will recommend to the national drugs strategy that it adopt a single common standard in tackling the issue of drugs which will incorporate the challenge to address the matter within the prison system. [23229/04]

Request to move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 31. (12 Oct 2004)

Arthur Morgan: I seek the adjournment of the Dáil to discuss the following matter of local, national and international importance, namely, the further evidence of the shambles the Government has created within our health system, as reported by the ESRI, with the inexcusable second lowest rating of this State in a league of wealthier nations in terms of health care with the two areas of particular concern...

Adoptive Leave Bill 2004 [Seanad]: Second Stage. (12 Oct 2004)

Arthur Morgan: Only slightly.

Adoptive Leave Bill 2004 [Seanad]: Second Stage. (12 Oct 2004)

Arthur Morgan: My view that this Bill came before the House as a crumb from the IBEC table to the unions was strengthened by the casual approach of the Ministers involved. Earlier today the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform was ten minutes late for a committee meeting. I fully understand why he was late, given affairs in Roscommon and the issues of an urgent nature he has to deal with. At least...

Written Answers — Severance Payments: Severance Payments (12 Oct 2004)

Arthur Morgan: Question 52: To ask the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if he will take action to rectify the situation whereby former workers at the Irish Fertiliser subsidiary (details supplied) in Belfast received inferior severance packages, particularly with respect to pensions, following the closure of that plant compared to their counterparts at the IFI plants in Carlow and Cork which...
