Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Road Haulage Industry: IRHA and FTA (2 Apr 2014)

Seán Conlan: I welcome the delegates from the Irish Road Haulage Association and fully support their position. I live near the Border and it would be completely detrimental to the haulage industry if the proposed levy were introduced, with the proposals on cabotage and port-to-port transport. The proposed changes would be barriers to trade and ultimately lead to higher consumer prices for everybody on...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Road Haulage Industry: IRHA and FTA (2 Apr 2014)

Seán Conlan: Mr. Gavin spoke about the whole of the North being exempt. I know there are difficulties with the way the UK legislation has been framed.

Of course, that is true. I listened closely to what she said about how Ireland was implementing the action plan and how it had been positive in the Republic. Clearly, from what she stated, there are...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: UN Security Council Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security: Discussion (8 May 2014)

We are all prisoners of history and of the current political realities across the globe. Politics here and internationally is confrontational and adversarial in nature. Moderate voices, of both men and women, tend...

Seán Conlan: I think the point was illustrated earlier in terms of coming from the smallest communities up rather than from the centre out. These initiatives announced yesterday are good for the large regional centres. In my area, towns such as Monaghan and Cavan will get fast broadband in any event, but I am concerned that towns such as Belturbet, Ballybay, Coothill, Castleblayney and Clones will not...
