Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Climate Action Plan Review: Discussion (Resumed) (30 Nov 2023)

Richard Bruton: ...pretty withering in saying some of the things the Minister has already touched on. We really need the spatial planning guidelines and the guidelines on onshore wind. I know planning delays have dogged many of our ambitions. There is also the regulatory treatment of battery storage. Those are things we should be able to move along. Quite surprisingly, the CCAC talked about how other...

Consultative Forum on International Security Policy: Statements (18 May 2023)

Richard Bruton: ...colours. This simply does not stand up to scrutiny, in my view. The world is a place of many different types of countries that are struggling to reach progress on behalf of their people. They are dogged by many problems, as we know. However, as a Union of countries we are committed to dealing with the issues in the way I described, namely, dialogue without confrontation, diplomacy over...

Agricultural and Food Supply Chain Bill 2022: Second Stage (19 Jan 2023)

Richard Bruton: ...this Bill. I did not think I would get in so early in the debate. I welcome the Minister’s initiative in this area. A supply chain that is fair to primary producers is essential. This has dogged the sector for a long period with the sense of unfairness, rapid changes and an imbalance of power out there. The Minister is taking the necessary powers and setting up an agency...

Report on Embodied Carbon in the Built Environment: Motion [Private Members] (1 Dec 2022)

Richard Bruton: ...they farm their land. When we feel we are all in that together and the impetus is coming from the Department of the Taoiseach and the core of Government, we can break down a lot of the conflicts that dog the debate about achieving our climate and environmental targets. The Minister of State is a leading advocate for trying to bring sides together to deliver change but those are two...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Derelict Sites (15 Sep 2022)

Richard Bruton: I completely agree that this is the right thing to do but we should be honest with ourselves. The CPO process has been dogged by slowness in moving. There is only one county that I know of that really takes it seriously, and only one, County Waterford, takes the repair and renewal scheme seriously. If we want to have a strategy on bringing derelict property into use, we have to get a...

Affordable Housing Bill 2021 [Seanad]: Second Stage (24 Jun 2021)

Richard Bruton: ..., Galway and Limerick. It is really important that we see those sites and land banks developed. It is also very important that we remove the logjams in approval, appraisal and tendering that have dogged city councils. The LDA must get through those processes more quickly. That means streamlined tendering and approval mechanisms, not long delays between the Minister's Department and...

Written Answers — Department of Finance: Covid-19 Pandemic Supports (3 Mar 2021)

Richard Bruton: 221. To ask the Minister for Finance if his attention has been drawn to the fact that the Covid-19 restrictions support scheme is being denied to dog training, grooming and day care businesses on the grounds that they could have remained open, which would be entirely out of step with the provisions of level 5; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11954/21]

Written Answers — Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Litter Pollution Fines (11 Jun 2019)

Richard Bruton: I propose to take Questions Nos. 767 and 768 together. The Litter Pollution Acts, 1997 to 2009, provide the statutory framework to combat littering and include provisions relating to dog fouling. Under the Acts, the primary management and enforcement response to littering (including dog fouling) rests with Local Authorities. It is a matter for each Local Authority to determine the most...

Select Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Ratification of the Minamata Convention on Mercury: Motion (5 Feb 2019)

Richard Bruton: ...of statutory instruments can get into many delays. This does not necessarily reflect a lack of ability in Departments, but there tends to be a bit of a logjam in draftsmen's offices, which has dogged every Government of which I have ever been a party, and I am sure the same is the case with Deputy Ryan. To respond to the Deputy's wider question, I am really bottoming out the issues...

Topical Issue Debate: Schools Building Projects (20 Sep 2017)

Richard Bruton: I have noted what the Deputy said. I have attended Harold's Cross on many occasions, not for schooling, only for the schooling dogs. Whether it would be appropriate to use that site as a temporary one for education while its longer-term potential is being designed and assessed by the Department is an issue that I would have to refer to those who are expert in designing and planning. I note...

Seanad: Workplace Relations Bill 2014: Committee Stage (19 Feb 2015)

Richard Bruton: ...and solicitors in respect of whom a recommendation has been made. The Senator is trying to reduce the field from which we would select. I do not see the justification for that. Let the dog see the hare and let the best dog win.

Leaders' Questions (3 Jul 2013)

Richard Bruton: ...mortgages. Targets have been set for the banks to have workable restructuring programmes developed for each mortgage holder, with a 50% target by the year end. We are moving to deal with what has dogged many other countries that have had banking crises of this nature, namely, a failure of banks to face up to the situation and to allow people to get on with their lives. That is what we...

Budget Statement 2010 (9 Dec 2009)

Richard Bruton: ...addressing the economic weakness and how we rebuild our economic strength. That has failed us in this budget. The Minister surely had to face up to the situation regarding Anglo Irish Bank. The dogs in the street say that €6 billion will be needed for the bank during the course of this year. Where is that provided for in this budget? One cannot pretend it will come from thin air. It...
