Seanad: Project 2040 and Transport Matters: Statements (20 Sep 2018)

James Reilly: ...a new road has been developed. However, we still have a traffic jam on the M1. What is badly needed is a slipway onto the M1 directly from the road that exits the peninsula on which Donabate and Portrane are located. We need to keep the cost of transport at its current level. When the cost of transport goes up, the cost of everything goes up, especially for hauliers who are competing...

Seanad: Order of Business (5 Jul 2018)

James Reilly: ...the sun shining, it might seem strange to raise this subject, but it is one I have raised many times. Every winter there is flooding and coastal erosion, and nowhere more so than in The Burrow in Portrane. One family has had to abandon their home there, 13 other families face the same prospect and two businesses will also have to leave unless action is taken. I commend the Minister of...

Seanad: Flooding: Statements (Resumed) (8 Mar 2018)

James Reilly: ..., and the €10 million that was to be spent in Crossmolina, the town my father hailed from, among many others. The issue I want to focus on is the coastal erosion in north Dublin, particularly in Portrane but also in Rush. We have an emergency in Portrane. We have a family living in a house that is literally 3 ft from the edge of the cliff. There is nothing like standing there to...

Seanad: Order of Business (6 Mar 2018)

James Reilly: ...it was no longer safe to do so and reopened on Friday afternoon. In the context of the weather, I want to speak about an issue raised earlier, that is, coastal erosion, especially in Fingal and Portrane. I was there yesterday evening and there is nothing like standing within 3 ft. of a 20 ft. precipice to remind one of how severe a situation is for a family. Four years ago it was 50 ft....

Seanad: Order of Business (13 Dec 2017)

James Reilly: ...A2, the top rating, and some of them are occupied already. The Minister then went on to Donabate to turn the sod on a new road that will lead traffic from the centre of Donabate and allow passage down to Portrane. It will also open up the lands there to more housing, private and social and affordable. The housing is badly needed. I concur with Senator Craughwell when he says that we...

Seanad: Flood Prevention Measures: Statements (18 Oct 2017)

James Reilly: ...beach. One then hears stories of similar cases from the 1940s and 1950s. When it comes to flooding, I think we can all agree that prevention is better than cure. I want to focus on the area of Portrane here. We have had Ministers visit before and money was given to ensure that action be taken to build flood defences. One house in the area is in danger of falling into the sea, while...

I know this from my area, the peninsula of Portrane, Donabate and Lusk, where those with mental health issues are always welcomed with open arms. All they need is understanding and awareness. When they are on that...

Seanad: Commencement Matters: Flood Prevention Measures (7 Mar 2017)

James Reilly: .... There is no more time now for further vacillation; we need action. While I accept there is a need for an overall approach to coastal erosion, it is not going to be sufficient to say to the people in Portrane and, to a lesser extent, those in Rush, that we should wait for a country-wide coastal study before any action is taken. The members of one family, in particular, are in fear that...

Topical Issue Debate: Mental Health Services Provision (9 Jul 2014)

James Reilly: ...as a visiting GP that the original intention was to build the hospital on Lambay Island - out of sight, out of mind, and the further away the better. The next furthest point was the peninsula at Portrane. Thankfully, we live in much more enlightened times. The Government's policy is to remove the stigma from health care relating to mental health, and all new primary care centres now...

Seanad: National Children's Hospital: Statements (13 Nov 2012)

James Reilly: ...the hospital is under construction and I am acutely aware of this. This is a recurring theme. When I served on the Eastern Health Board years ago, I witnessed what happened at St. Ita's Hospital, Portrane, while we awaited the new psychiatric admission unit in Beaumont Hospital, which only opened a year ago. Reference was made to waiting 20 years for the children's hospital but we...
