Sport Ireland Bill 2014: Second Stage (Resumed) (25 Sep 2014)

Jack Wall: .... Deputy Joe O'Reilly spoke about sports volunteers working every hour of the day and night. We must support what they are doing by giving direction from the top. The Minister of State has a feel for sport, which is essential for the job he is doing. I saw the delight on his face at the announcement of host countries for the European Championship in 2020. This is a great achievement...

Jack Wall: ...to this forum to discuss issues like the development of the A5 and the construction of Narrow Water Bridge. The failure to complete the Narrow Water Bridge project is devastating. There was a feeling in every party that it would be done. It was seen as a new dawn for tourism in the area in question. It was also relevant to North-South relations. I certainly thought it should be...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Restorative Justice Programmes in Northern Ireland: Discussion (18 Oct 2012)

Jack Wall: ...stage? I would agree with Senator McAleese on our process. There are joint policing committees which are statutory bodies. When youngsters look in they see all these people and, suddenly, they feel they are not wanted. It is not community oriented. It is a worry in that regard. If we are to provide alternatives, we must do it with a community-constructed approach. We must use...

Mental Health Services: Motion (Resumed) (16 Nov 2011)

Jack Wall: ...with those in the community who are crying out for help in so many different ways. Some of these unfortunate people come into our clinics, and we have to give them the time to ensure that they feel wanted. As elected representatives, we should lead the charge on involvement. This debate should highlight the word "involvement". We should not forget about them, irrespective of where they...

Budget Statement 2011 (7 Dec 2010)

Jack Wall: How does Deputy Gogarty feel about that?

Jack Wall: ...has being drawn down by Leader groups for rural projects to date since the Estimates were agreed; the projects that have drawn down such funding; the employment opportunity areas that the Minister feels have not being covered by such projects that will in his estimation permit 700 employment opportunities to be created; if agreement is reached with the EU Commission on what procedure must...

Multi-Unit Developments Bill 2009 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed) (8 Jul 2010)

Jack Wall: .... She has asked everyone else to deal with it but they will not. Why should they? They are getting their money into the bank, probably from social welfare, on foot of leasing the property. They feel there is no need for them to be involved in anything else. It is a disaster zone. I blame solicitors for many aspects of the property bubble. They allowed people to buy properties from...

Community Development (1 Jul 2010)

Jack Wall: I pray that the Minister will not ignore those who have not signed up. There was a deadline. This has required a lot of examination. I ask the Minister that if someone feels he or she is hard done by and has not met the deadline that the Minister would consider the case and give them an opportunity to apply, but not next September. If a person wants to apply he or she should do so now and...

Decentralisation Programme (1 Jul 2010)

Jack Wall: ...with development programmes and there would be a greater number of meetings. The Minister and Minister of State can outline these issues. I am considering staff efficiency so does the Minister feel the decentralisation exercise will be a success? I agree with the theme of decentralisation. Does the Minister, having been in office for a period, agree with me? Does he envisage any...

Special Educational Needs: Motion. (31 Mar 2010)

Jack Wall: ...Delay and a moderate learning disability. Having become accustomed to the "fight" over the past number of years i.e. access to speech and language services, occupational therapy, etc. I really feel at a loss as to why I and many other parents like me, must summon all our strength and resources to ensure our children be provided with an education that is entirely appropriate to their needs....

Departmental Expenditure. (18 Feb 2010)

Jack Wall: ...of enthusiasm for what is being done. Opportunities to review each project and funding head do not come very often. Are there positive aspects? Have places been identified where the Minister feels further funding will create more employment? I gave out to the Minister because he did not fight the McCarthy report initially but waited to respond to it. With this review the Minister has...

Hospital Services. (22 Sep 2009)

Jack Wall: ...financial budget. The care of our loved ones should be beyond such budgets. The care and attention given in St. Vincent's Hospital is for what we pay our taxes. The HSE at executive level has no feel for the St. Vincent's of this world. In reality, it would rather see them closed and the service privatised than having the initiative to develop such facilities further as could easily be...

Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2008 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed) (1 Apr 2009)

Jack Wall: ...at as part of that. Housing lists should be transparent so people know where they are on them when they approach the local authority. The biggest problem with housing allocation is that people feel they were ahead of others on the list who have since got a house. I understand emergency allocation but I do not understand how people do not know where they are on the list. This argument...

Charities Bill 2007: From the Seanad (11 Feb 2009)

Jack Wall: I welcome the decision of the Minister of State to ensure that this is part of the Bill. It covers our feelings about representations to the Labour Party and our concerns on reading the first draft of the Bill. It strengthens the Bill and ensures that people will benefit from it. We are worried about cults and the unfortunate people they recruit. We receive e-mails etc. promising us that...

Nursing Homes Support Scheme Bill 2008: Second Stage (Resumed) (27 Nov 2008)

Jack Wall: ...done within the family. These people provided those homes, which is why they recognise the importance of not interfering with the family home. It is also why Age Action Ireland and other groups feel that this interference should not exist. The current Government has stated that elderly people can take one option or the other. However, either way people will have to provide the cost in...

Written Answers — Tax Compliance: Tax Compliance (18 Nov 2008)

Jack Wall: Question 169: To ask the Minister for Finance if his attention has been drawn to the concerns and frustrations of small business owners who feel intimidated by Revenue Commissioner agents who call to such businesses checking till rolls, cash transactions and payroll on demand; if this action is permitted under legislation in view of the fact that the business is obliged only to make a return...

Grant Payments. (14 Feb 2008)

Jack Wall: ...areas? In south Kildare alone there are four gaelscoileanna. Many parents sending their children to these schools need assistance in using the Irish language. Many of them inform me they feel isolated in this regard and are solely dependent on the teacher with regard to, say, homework through Irish. What can be done to alleviate the concerns about moving this forward?

Irish Language. (5 Dec 2007)

Jack Wall: ...a small rural hall. We will lose momentum if we wait until December 2008. We will lose parents because they will become disillusioned about trying to apply the education system through Irish and feel they are getting lost. Are children losing out because of this? That is the most significant problem.

Housing Policy: Motion (Resumed). (22 Nov 2006)

Jack Wall: ...a 99-year lease, can never say he or she can pass on the house to a loved one or own the family home. This was discussed here when questions were last put to the Minister. Deputy Stagg raised the feeling that something can be done in this regard. I ask the Minister to move forward and ensure that in the budget provision is made on funding the Department of the Environment, Heritage and...

Ex-Service Personnel. (7 Nov 2006)

Jack Wall: ...missions, 17 to the Congo, 20 to Cyprus, 28 to Lebanon and one to Iraq. They acknowledge the work of other organisations and representative bodies and have no problem with them. However, they feel that they would be best served by an organisation for ex-members in their own area. They are already involved in many social and community activities and recognised by their local community for...
