Acquisition of Development Land (Assessment of Compensation) Bill 2021: Second Stage [Private Members] (16 Jun 2021)

Alan Kelly: I move: "That the Bill be now read a Second Time." I wish to share time with my colleague, Deputy Howlin. More than 50 years ago, in the late 1960s, amid concerns about the high cost of housing for home buyers, a situation which has repeated itself several times since, the then Fianna Fáil Minister for Local Government, former Deputy Bobby Molloy, commissioned a report on ways to...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Bodies (19 May 2021)

Mick Barry: "A home is a home, whether it is an apartment or a house," said Ciar��n Cuffe MEP of the Green Party. The only pity is that the Green Party says that but does not vote along the line that would follow from that. It is hot air. The Green Party has a chance to show us tonight that it can vote according to what was said. We will keep a close eye on that. What a concession the Taoiseach...

Climate Action and Low Carbon Development (Amendment) Bill 2021: Second Stage (Resumed) (29 Apr 2021)

Verona Murphy: I support sensible measures to encourage people to lead more environmentally healthy lives but I have major fears about whether this Bill will lead to that. While I believe the Minister and his colleagues in the Green Party are sincere in their motives, I disagree with the approach they want to take. First, this Bill could best be described as motherhood and apple pie. While it sounds...

An tOrd Gnó (Atógáil) - Order of Business (Resumed) (22 Oct 2019)

Eamon Ryan: The Minister says this PCI is in our common interests. I believe it is not. It does provide for advance planning of any project. The Minister says it has already received planning planning, but this is far from certain. Putting it through a further planning process would not be appropriate. The Minister says he will not support the provision of finance for it, but we do not know what the...

Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (27 Mar 2019)

Tommy Broughan: I support Deputy Clare Daly’s amendments with respect to the deletions. This is extraordinary. To go back to what I said on Second Stage, in his earlier career the Minister would have found it unbelievable that a conflicted body would be appointed as a regulator. The papers released by the Department recently under a freedom of information request and reported in the journal.ieshow...

Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Second Stage (Resumed) (13 Dec 2018)

I have always deeply appreciated the role of Dublin Airport as the key economic driver of Dublin’s northside, in particular as I was a founder and director of Coolock Development Council, which has community centres, business centres and jobs training programmes to help people leave unemployment. We know that up to 60,000...

Maria Bailey: We are back in public session. At the request of the broadcasting and recording service, members, witnesses and visitors are requested to ensure that their mobile phones are switched off completely or placed in aeroplane, safe or flight mode for the duration of the meeting. It is not enough to put one's phone on silent mode because this will maintain a level of interference with the...

Seanad: Order of Business (14 Feb 2018)

David Norris: I call for a debate on transport. People often say, "I hate to say I told you told so". I want to say "I told you so" today. I campaigned for nearly 30 years for an underground railway system in Dublin. I got the late Dr. Garret FitzGerald to do the mathematics. Senator Leyden is nodding; he was here for that debate and contributed to it. Dr. FitzGerald demonstrated that it was...
