Private Business - The Royal Hibernian Academy (Amendment of Charter) Bill 2023: Second Stage (13 Dec 2023)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...academy on these changes and I will not be opposing the Bill. However, it is important that we reflect on these provisions and I have two questions in this regard. This is only the first or second opportunity there has been to deal with such a Bill. The previous private Bill was back in 2003, if I am correct. It is a long while ago. My first question is why certain private bodies...

Planning and Development Bill 2023: Second Stage (Resumed) (7 Dec 2023)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...up through your garden or if you cannot drive out of your driveway because you cannot cut the tree back. These are small concerns but they are the tensions that explode into something else in the long term. They are neighbourhood disputes that probably do not end up in here but it is a planning Bill and we should try to plan for this. On the other aspects of this Bill, I was...

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...Canadian Department of Justice to be useful on recent developments in terms of counterfeiting. It states: During the last two decades, with the spread of new digital print technologies, counterfeiting has again shifted.

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...dying from being driven too hard or being put down after a crash, or even customers dying in such a crash. During the summer, a wheel flew off one such carriage here in the city. When will the long-promised heads of a Bill be published? When can we expect legislation to be passed to help the Garda, the council staff and the animal welfare section to regulate and ensure the best for all...

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Finance (No. 2) Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (8 Nov 2023)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I welcome what the Minister said, and the changes that are being brought about. I am here long enough to remember the 2004 campaign to save section 481. I was one of those on the Opposition benches who supported it at the time. Even way back then, there were questions as to whether we can could carte blanchetax relief and basically forgo tax in such a way without any conditionality. What...

Historic and Archaeological Heritage and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2023: Report and Final Stages (27 Sep 2023)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...monuments as possible. The same could be true of the Armada. When I was a young fella in school, there were ribbed boats in Dún Chaoin heading out and diving and never finding anything, but they were there long enough that somebody was funding them, or they were funding themselves through plundering the wreck of Armada ships in that location. All of a sudden, a number of years...

Historic and Archaeological Heritage and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2023: Report and Final Stages (27 Sep 2023)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...this legislation, we are giving protection and greater awareness of the context. It is back to this context that a battlefield site is not just a small cross or a plaque on the wall. Almost too long ago for me to remember, some 40 years ago, I travelled to the battlefield site in Ridgeway in Canada. This was the site of famous battle between Fenians who had crossed over into Canada and...

Historic and Archaeological Heritage and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2023: Report and Final Stages (27 Sep 2023)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...and that it is specifically outlined that this is a national monuments Bill. The original Title, which I have here somewhere among my papers, referred to national monuments. I know we have gone through quite a long process with this. We should still look to ensure that people understand these are national monuments and that this is the legislation where one goes to address them. The...

Historic and Archaeological Heritage and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2023: Report and Final Stages (27 Sep 2023)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...we will end up with cases like that of the Iveagh Market in Francis Street - which, in fairness, the Minister of State stood in, in recent weeks - which has been held up in courts for God knows how long and potentially could still be. At least Dublin City Council and the original owners have stood up to try to protect a gem. We should not have to go down that road. It might be delayed...

Historic and Archaeological Heritage and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2023: Report and Final Stages (27 Sep 2023)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I am slightly confused. I understand what the Minister of State is doing in referring to the Wildlife (Amendment) Act 2023. He is inserting the name of the Act into the Long Title. Amendment No. 1 just seeks to insert "the Wildlife (Amendment) Act 2000" into the Long Title. There is no mention of the Wildlife (Amendment) Act 2023 in the Long Title. Amendment No. 1 reads: "In page 19,...

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...to any question relating to such monuments. (6) No decision taken by the Minister in respect of their functions under Chapter 3 or Chapter 6 of this Act shall be considered valid until it receives the assent of the CSN.”.

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Historic and Archaeological Heritage Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (4 Jul 2023)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...resubmit it, although I will probably leave out the provision on amending so that the bodies would be consulted before the deletion of particulars from the register. The Minister of State gave a long response to amendment No. 177. Experts issue guidance to most of the archaeologists working on national monument sites, with most archaeologists having acted under the direction of the...

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Policing, Security and Community Safety Bill 2023: Committee Stage (9 May 2023)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...; still exists but nobody talks about it. There are examples right across society of well-intentioned titles that start to disappear if they are not the official titles. That is the important role. I am happy to withdraw that long group of amendments, starting with amendment No. 5, on that basis.

Organised Crime: Statements (20 Apr 2023)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...windows we have seen in some of these houses. There are gangs of adoring, loyal kids or lieutenants who do the bidding of these gangs for a score here or perhaps just to feel part of a buzz. Before long, they get sucked into the criminal world and are in the clutches of drugs. They sell drugs, prostitute themselves or rob to feed their habit or they extort, threaten, enforce and...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Immigration Policy (18 Apr 2023)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: 46. To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality what the delay is in regularising the status of those who applied under the regularisation of the long-term undocumented migrants scheme, which closed to applicants at the end of July 2022; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18016/23]

[16074/23]

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: 512.
