Dara Calleary: ...resulting in the trend? Now comes the row, perhaps. I was made aware of a delay in a call-out in Ballina the third week of October. I emailed the service in Galway and got a very prompt response; I had it within days. The time of the call was 10.41 p.m. The ambulance was mobile at 10.44 p.m. and at the scene at 12.10 a.m. It left the scene a 12.29 a.m. and was at the hospital at 1.02...

Early Childhood Care and Education: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (12 Feb 2014)

Dara Calleary: ...achievements were secured before the current Minister had the fortune to be appointed to Cabinet. The challenge the Minister faces is that other Departments now believe they no longer have responsibility for children. Children are the responsibility of all Departments and, given the consequences actions in this area can have, this responsibility cannot be delegated solely to the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Progress Update: Discussion with Microfinance Ireland (12 Nov 2013)

Dara Calleary: I welcome the delegation from MFI. I acknowledge the Chairman's efforts to contact me over the weekend to give me time to discuss some of my concerns about the scheme. Ms Murray said that MFI is not a panacea, which I accept, but unfortunately MFI is being presented as the panacea for the inability of even good companies with solid business plans to get credit, which is a serious problem...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Business Closures and Job Losses: Discussion with National Off-Licence Association (22 Oct 2013)

Dara Calleary: I thank Ms Jones for her presentation on behalf of the delegation, which has given us a great deal of information. At present we are doing much work on the independent retail sector in general and its future, and this information will feed into that work. We will probably engage with her on the matter again. I have long believed there is an imbalance between independent retailers and large...

Companies Bill 2012: Second Stage (23 Apr 2013)

Dara Calleary: ...of tidying up legislation while maintaining very strong legislation in all areas. The legislation has been simplified but the message must be that it is not being made easier to evade one's responsibilities as a company director or company operator. The Minister made it clear on a number of occasions that the Bill is designed to provide easier access to information and to legislation....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Ireland West Airport Knock: Discussion (5 Dec 2012)

Dara Calleary: ...the lack of a national aviation strategy. If there was to be such a strategy, which one would have thought might have been designed before this decision was made, what specific niches would the delegation identify for the airport? What focus would the delegation like and what responsibility would it like to take on the shoulders of the airport as part of that strategy? Everyone...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Workplace Relations Service: Discussion with Employment Appeals Tribunal (6 Nov 2012)

Dara Calleary: ...tripartite effort, but it is not happening as fast as I would like. However, there was never a question of taking away rights or de-legalising the system. The Minister has provided a detailed response on the point of having a single hearing, which is the practice in many inequality complaints cases. The Minister and his officials have done a very solid job in tackling what has been a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Micro-Enterprise and Small Business Unit: Discussion with EI, ISME and SFA (23 Oct 2012)

Dara Calleary: I welcome the delegation. Enterprise Ireland does fantastic work. I had the honour of travelling abroad with it to see the work it does there in addition to the work it does locally. I commend it on the initiative launched yesterday for female entrepreneurs. It is a niche that needs to be developed, and the initiative is a good start in that regard. I am not convinced that the...

Leaders' Questions (20 Sep 2012)

Dara Calleary: ...model on which universal health insurance will be based. We can deduce from this either that no work is being done in this area or that she has been excluded from negotiations even though she has responsibility for primary care. Has the Tánaiste held any discussions with the Minister of State, Deputy Shortall, about her working relationship with the Minister, Deputy Reilly? Has...

Dara Calleary: ...transfer the trade functions of the Department of Enterprise, Jobs and Innovation to the Department of Foreign Affairs. The transfer has not happened because there has been a delay in bringing the delegation of powers measures before the House. It suggests there is a problem. Two and a half months have passed since the composition of the Government was announced, but the arrangements...

Seanad: Health Services (20 May 2010)

The Health Service Executive has sole operational responsibility for the delivery of health and social services, including those at facilities in Carndonagh and Buncrana. Senator Keaveney will appreciate that all developments must be addressed...

Written Answers — Employment Rights: Employment Rights (2 Mar 2010)

Dara Calleary: Primary responsibility for this sector rests with the Minister of Transport. I can advise the Deputy however that the terms and conditions of employment on board international cruise ships are linked to the State in which the ship is registered. In the case of workers employed on Irish registered vessels, the terms and conditions of those employees on the vessel are subject to the...

Industrial Relations (Amendment) Bill 2009 [Seanad]: Second Stage (26 Jan 2010)

Dara Calleary: ...a change that will restore the position whereby the Minister makes the order giving effect to these proposals.

I am...

In my view the parties represented on a joint labour...
