- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla (Atógáil) - Topical Issue Debate (Resumed): Coastal Protection (24 Oct 2024)
Seán Ó Fearghaíl: Deputy Pringle has waited with great patience.
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla (Atógáil) - Topical Issue Debate (Resumed): Coastal Protection (24 Oct 2024)
Thomas Pringle: With great patience. I thought the Minister of State, Deputy O'Donnell, came in especially to take my matter. I did not realise it was Deputy Durkan's matter that got him in here.
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla (Atógáil) - Topical Issue Debate (Resumed): Coastal Protection (24 Oct 2024)
Kieran O'Donnell: That was the clincher.
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla (Atógáil) - Topical Issue Debate (Resumed): Coastal Protection (24 Oct 2024)
Thomas Pringle: I hope I will get a response as well. This matter relates to an issue in respect of which the Minister of State has answered questions from me previously. It is important to acknowledge that. It relates to coastal erosion that is taking place between Inver village and Fanaghans. It is mostly on private property, although in some areas it appears to alternate between private and public...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla (Atógáil) - Topical Issue Debate (Resumed): Coastal Protection (24 Oct 2024)
Kieran O'Donnell: I thank Deputy Pringle for raising this issue. I am very aware that the risk of coastal erosion has a significant impact on communities. In the first instance, coastal protection and localised flooding are matters for each local authority to investigate and address. The OPW provides support to local authorities through the minor flood mitigation works and coastal protection scheme, which...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla (Atógáil) - Topical Issue Debate (Resumed): Heritage Sites (24 Oct 2024)
Kieran O'Donnell: I wish to acknowledge that we have three Deputies representing Kildare in the House: the Ceann Comhairle; Deputy Durkan who, as the Ceann Comhairle said, is relentless in his pursuit of this, and his concern is very genuine; and his constituency colleague, the Minister of State, Deputy James Lawless.
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla (Atógáil) - Topical Issue Debate (Resumed): Heritage Sites (24 Oct 2024)
Bernard Durkan: And the Ceann Comhairle.
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla (Atógáil) - Topical Issue Debate (Resumed): Heritage Sites (24 Oct 2024)
Kieran O'Donnell: I mentioned the Ceann Comhairle.
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla (Atógáil) - Topical Issue Debate (Resumed): Heritage Sites (24 Oct 2024)
Bernard Durkan: Good.
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla (Atógáil) - Topical Issue Debate (Resumed): Heritage Sites (24 Oct 2024)
Kieran O'Donnell: When I came into this role a relatively short time ago, I wanted to resolve the issue in Castletown. In doing so, I chaired the meetings in Castletown myself. We have held four meetings and a fifth will take place tomorrow. I intended holding a meeting on Tuesday but unfortunately I was the Minister of State on duty here that day and had to be here much earlier so I deferred the meeting...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla (Atógáil) - Topical Issue Debate (Resumed): Heritage Sites (24 Oct 2024)
Seán Ó Fearghaíl: The Minister of State does, yes.
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla (Atógáil) - Topical Issue Debate (Resumed): Heritage Sites (24 Oct 2024)
Kieran O'Donnell: I thank the Ceann Comhairle. It continues to be the strategic objective of the OPW to reunite all of the lands of the former Castletown estate. The OPW remains open to negotiations with the landowners to purchase all or that part of the subject lands. In line with a commitment I gave to the working group, I met with the owners to discuss this further. Engagement between the OPW and the...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla (Atógáil) - Topical Issue Debate (Resumed): Heritage Sites (24 Oct 2024)
Seán Ó Fearghaíl: No problem.
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla (Atógáil) - Topical Issue Debate (Resumed): Heritage Sites (24 Oct 2024)
Bernard Durkan: I thank the Minister of State for his reply. It is not the reply I was expecting. That is not a criticism of the Minister of State but a recognition that there are obstacles along the way somewhere. Regardless of those obstacles, I am convinced that the question has to be established and answered as to whether or not the State has the right to go to and from its own property without...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Bus Services (24 Oct 2024)
James Lawless: I thank the Deputy. When I saw this Topical Issue selected, I was reminded of my colleague, Deputy Paul McAuliffe, who raised this issue under Questions on Promised Legislation last week, and I answered. To put in context that exchange, I absolutely recognise the legitimacy of the concerns around the No. 11 bus, and I have spoken with Deputy McAuliffe on it since then as well. It is a very...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Bus Services (24 Oct 2024)
Gary Gannon: What I am going to say is not targeted at the Minister of State directly or individually. The next comment is not for him. There is a massive arrogance to just ploughing on regardless here. I have had it from the NTA, and I have had it from any sort ministerial intervention we have called for. Though I appreciate there are statutory limitations, we do know that there have been changes in...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Bus Services (24 Oct 2024)
James Lawless: I thank the Deputy. I fully recognise the points he is making and understand them. It is absolutely key, and I am someone who, throughout my career, has been committed to optimising the use of public transport and maximising the take-up of it. It is actually quite a simple formula to make that happen but it is a formula we have to deliver. It has to be affordable and at a reasonable...
