Education (Admission to Schools) Bill 2016: Second Stage (Resumed) (17 Nov 2016) See 1 other result from this debate

Eugene Murphy: I thank Deputy Troy for sharing his time. I will be brief because our education spokesman, Deputy Thomas Byrne, has indicated to our Parliamentary Party, the media and others our policy on this Bill. I welcome the Bill. It is important and will bring about some necessary change, which we welcome. It must be said that my constituency of Roscommon-Galway has a very good policy of...

Enda Kenny: I will come back to Deputy Troy on that. In respect of the Children First legislation, that is awaiting Committee Stage here in the House. The Government made a number of appointments following the recommendations given to it in regard to the Supreme Court. I cannot indicate to the Deputy when the Supreme Court will do its job. It is completely independent in that matter. I will confirm...

Enda Kenny: ...was made and nursing staff were very upset about it, and rightly so, because it did down their professional competence to look after people at the front line. I will have to come back to Deputy Troy regarding the health reform legislation. In respect of the national vetting bureau, I cannot give a date for the commencement of the order, but I will check with the Minister for Children and...

Ruairi Quinn: ..., because there are legal implications and difficulties. These have, unfortunately, caused a delay in legislation that we all want to see enacted as quickly as possible. In respect of Deputy Troy's second question, I will find out whether the relevant report is now ready. As Deputy Troy said, we were due to have it by the end of this month. I am not currently aware of any document...

Seanad: Order of Business (10 Jul 2018)

Maria Byrne: ...a big problem. Patients were diverted to the University Hospital. The second matter I raise is the Creative Ireland programme and the €200 million announced to provide for things like film production. Troy Studios is a film studio based in Limerick. As part of the €200 million Creative Ireland programme, there is discussion of increased tax incentives and funding for...

Brendan Griffin: I thank the witnesses and committee members for their engagement this morning. A proposal was made by Senator O'Mahony and seconded by Deputy Troy in regard to making a recommendation from the committee. I acknowledge that Senator O'Mahony and Deputy Troy have been seeking this meeting for many months. On behalf of the committee, I want to apologise as we have had a very busy schedule and...

Shane Ross: ...it last year in good faith but it has now changed as a result of certain happenings in the European Court. That is something which I also have to accept. I do not like it and no more than Deputy Troy, I do not like the delay. I do not like the delays in the Attorney General's office or the changes of mind in that office but I have to accept them. That it has taken a long time is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: European Elections 2024, Voting Rights and Combatting Disinformation: Discussion (21 Feb 2024)

Colm Brophy: I thank Deputy Troy. Before the witnesses answer, I will add something to what he said. There are reputable broadcasters, to use the terminology, where there is a balanced and fair approach, which may involve an interview going backwards and forwards. However, at the very end of it, there is a process, sometimes after the person who has been subject to the interview has left, whereby a...

Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill 2017: Second Stage (Resumed) (17 Jan 2018)

Shane Ross: ...of the debate and I apologise if I do not individually name each of the many contributors, in particular as some of the contributions are particularly sensitive. I am pleased to hear from Deputy Troy and his party colleagues that they intend to support my proposals to amend last year's legislation on unaccompanied drivers. I would like to thank Deputy Troy for his support on this matter....

Bus Éireann: Motion [Private Members] (31 Jan 2017) See 4 other results from this debate

Anne Rabbitte: I thank Deputy Robert Troy for bringing the motion to the House. Earlier the Minister said there was a difference between himself and Deputy Troy and that they did not share the same road to a solution. I agree with him. Deputy Troy is standing up for rural Ireland. He is standing up for the staff of Bus Éireann, the towns, the young and the old. He is standing up to create...

Other Questions: Departmental Agencies Funding (22 Mar 2017) See 1 other result from this debate

Patrick O'Donovan: I am delighted to update Deputy Troy. The portfolio established by the Minister of State, Deputy Ring, has been reassigned by the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport to myself. Deputies Naughton and Troy are right concerning funding by local authorities. This was why I asked for a review of funding for the St. Patrick's Day festival in Dublin. There is a greater opportunity in...

James Reilly: ...and I am reminded of the fact that this is a particularly important time for children and, therefore, I do not really want to respond in many respects to the highly political charges that Deputy Troy has levelled. I am reminded of Bill Clinton and his comment - what is really annoying you is that it is taking us so long to clean up your mess. The bottom line here is that for many years...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Tourism Funding (6 Nov 2018)

Shane Ross: It is appropriate to say there is one thing about which Deputy Troy and I agree. That is that the tourism agencies, Tourism Ireland and Fáilte Ireland, have done a spectacularly good job. As Deputy Troy is aware, tourism figures are improving and continue to defy gravity, despite the effects of Brexit, one of which was a plunge in the value of sterling. The numbers of visitors year on...

Catherine Martin: ...opportunities for disadvantaged and under-represented communities whether dealing with gender diversity or regionalisation.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Report into Ticketing at Rio Olympic Games: Discussion (Resumed) (18 Aug 2017) See 34 other results from this debate

Shane Ross: Perhaps I could deal with Deputy Troy's issues, which I remember fairly clearly, first. While I remember it, I will address one issue that Deputy Troy mentioned in his first question. He referred to how sad a reflection it is that it took a trip to Brazil and the Olympics to unveil what happened and how things were run in this case. I suppose that is true in some ways. It is always...

Ceisteanna - Questions: National Risk Assessment (17 Nov 2021)

Paul Murphy: ...that more and more people are disgusted by the politicians and the institutions in this State. I ask the Taoiseach to comment in that respect on the recent actions of his Minister of State, Deputy Troy. We know, thanks to an article by Mr. Aaron Rogan in the Business Post, that Deputy Troy, in his position as a Minister of State in the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment,...

Alex White: I am always amused when people say there are rumours abroad. It is usually the person who says that who is starting the rumour. I certainly have not heard the rumours Deputy Troy refers to. The wind energy guidelines are a serious matter and are being dealt with as such. I did not say there was no secret about a disagreement between colleagues, I said it is no secret that there is tension...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Irish Water Establishment (17 Sep 2014) See 3 other results from this debate

Alan Kelly: ...about a number of things. First, the Deputy made statements about the previous Minister misleading people. Those are big statements that need to be justified. The second issue is that Deputy Troy is saying he does not accept or believe the independent regulator, which has made its judgment regarding the set-up costs of this utility. Of course I accept the regulator's decision, and it...

Topical Issue Matters (28 Jan 2016)

Seán Kenny: I wish to advise the House of the following matters in respect of which notice has been given under Standing Order 27A and the name of the Member in each case: (1) Deputy Robert Troy - the sanctioning of the drug Soliris for the treatment of Degos disease; (2) Deputies Charlie McConalogue and Pearse Doherty - the provision of capital funding for the community hospitals in Lifford, Ramelton...
