Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (25 Apr 2024)

Brian Stanley: ..., we will see printing, engineering works, hairdressing and apprenticeships, with quite a large amount spent on printing services - €375,000. No. 2523B is correspondence from Tom Grady, chief executive of Mayo, Sligo and Leitrim Education and Training Board, dated 12 April 2024. There is a similar pattern there.

Chapter 11 - Utilisation of the Land Aggregation Scheme Sites (14 Dec 2023)

Brian Stanley: ...Dáil would argue too much with the officials if houses were a little monotonous looking. In other words, the person in Wexford could live in a house that does not look too dissimilar from one in Sligo. On external works, the Department went on to state in its reply that it can be appreciated that the design of external works is entirely site specific and does not readily admit to...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (21 Sep 2023)

Brian Stanley: ...is holding up matters. The statement shows figures for Dublin, Galway, Limerick and Louth. Delivery in Offaly in my constituency was very bad. Only three units were delivered in Roscommon. In Sligo, a big county, only 13 units were delivered. I suggest we flag this matter for discussion with the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage when its officials appear. In the...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (1 Jun 2023)

Brian Stanley: ...and to request a response on the matters raised. No. 1888 is from the United Irish Racecourses, UIR. This is a group of smaller, regional racecourses.

They are raising the issue of finance derived from the selling of media rights and...

Brian Stanley: ...officials from here and the North. The witnesses will be aware of the work that has been done over the past 20 years on the Border corridor. There were significant links between Fermanagh, Sligo, Cavan, Donegal, Derry and so on, right along the Border. That might be looked at. That is the issue I wanted to ask about. On developing it further, Ms Hurley said she has considered this...

Public Accounts Committee: 2021 Financial Statements of the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland: Discussion (9 Mar 2023)

Brian Stanley: The problem would be if the Deputy wants to go to Mayo, for example, or Leitrim or Sligo. He could find himself like the Dutch ambassador, I believe it was, who could not find a charging point. That is the problem. You might have to knock on the door of somebody who has a charging point and ask to use theirs. You have to find somebody who has one.

Public Accounts Committee: 2021 Financial Statements of the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland: Discussion (9 Mar 2023)

Chapter 4 - Reallocation of Voted Funding (20 Oct 2022)

Brian Stanley: ...the reasons we were able to build those is that we did not mess around by starting with a blank canvas for every site. We started with a drawing from the local authority. The houses I pass are in Sligo, Portlaoise, Donegal and Waterford. I have seen them all over the country. If we want to build houses on that scale, that is what we have to do. I am raising this in the context of...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (15 Sep 2022)

Brian Stanley: ...on either side. There are many of those houses in County Wexford, including in Maudlintown, with which Deputy Verona Murphy is familiar. There are such houses in O'Moore Place in Portlaoise and Sligo town. They also appear in Crumlin and Drimnagh.

Chapter 3 - Central Government Funding of Local Authorities (23 Jun 2022)

Brian Stanley: ...six and eight simple designs. I saw houses like the one I lived in as a child in Donegal and other parts of the country. There are houses like the ones in Crumlin and Drimnagh I drive past in Sligo and Portlaoise. I have seen them. They look the same. They have the same design. There are some in Wexford and Tullamore. They are all over the place. My point is that we cannot have a...

Public Accounts Committee: Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland: Financial Statements 2020 (24 Mar 2022)

Brian Stanley: ...The local authorities are anxious to do it, and we have certainly been banging the drum to try to get them done. That type of house is replicated throughout the country. One sees those houses in Sligo and all over. The same design was used and in their day they were good houses. However, they would be very poor in terms of energy efficiency. Can anything be done? I understand the...

Brian Stanley: With regard to cases passed or not passed on to the Garda, in September 2019, Sligo-Leitrim-west Cavan had the highest percentage of notifications not passed on. It reached 56% of notifications not referred on. There was a figure for Cork around the same time of 29%. What action has been taken to address that and what percentage of cases are not being passed on at present?

Petroleum and Other Minerals Development (Prohibition of Onshore Hydraulic Fracturing) Bill 2016: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (31 May 2017)

Brian Stanley: .... The Bill is a statement for sustainable development and common sense. I commend the campaign groups, Deputy McLoughlin and our councillors. For the past six years the Sinn Féin councillors in Sligo and Leitrim made sure that this was kept on top of the agenda. The former Deputy, Michael Colreavy, and Deputy Martin Kenny also supported this. I recognise the work of people at...

Brian Stanley: ...Counties and offshore. However, we want to approach this carefully. Obviously, the immediate danger and problem is onshore within this State, where there is a particular threat in the counties of Sligo and Leitrim. On that basis, and in order to not delay the legislation, I am prepared to withdraw amendment No. 4. There are legal issues, definitions and other matters that need to be...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Electoral Commission: Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government (10 Mar 2015)

Brian Stanley: ...constituencies throughout the State, in so far as we can do that. It is very arbitrary that a constituency should suddenly go from five seats to three seats. There is also the situation with the Sligo-Leitrim-Cavan-and wherever else constituency. There are four counties included in that constituency. That does not sit right. There is also the issue of how the local authority boundaries...

Water Charges: Motion [Private Members] (6 May 2014)

Brian Stanley: ...services have been taken back under the control of local authorities because this is a fragmented service. It cannot be managed centrally unless one injects huge amounts of money into a large bureaucracy. It is a fragmented service because every county has hundreds of water sources. The Minister of State, Deputy Perry, knows that coming from Sligo, while Deputy John Browne from Wexford...
