Finance Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (5 Nov 2024)

Jack Chambers: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Leas-Cheann Comhairle. I wish to draw Deputies' attention to a minor typographical error that my Department has noted in the Bill on page 161, line 14. A reference has been inadvertently labelled “89A(ii) of (iii)” rather than the correct version of “89A(ii) or (iii)”. I seek to invoke Dáil Standing Order 196 to request that...

SECTION 1

Finance Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (5 Nov 2024)

Mattie McGrath: I move amendment No. 1: In page 9, between lines 18 and 19, to insert the following: “ “investment undertaking” includes a retail credit firm as defined in section 28 of the Central Bank Act 1997 and any other person who owns credit which is being serviced by a credit servicer as defined in section 28(2) of that Act.”. I am very concerned about the lack of...

Select Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Control of Economic Activity (Occupied Territories) Bill 2018: Discussion (5 Nov 2024)

Gary Gannon: I know, but I have asked a simple question and there are six minutes left. The ICJ advisory opinion was issued in July. We are now in November. When can we expect it?

Select Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Control of Economic Activity (Occupied Territories) Bill 2018: Discussion (5 Nov 2024)

Gary Gannon: I also have some questions for Senator Black and her legal team, if they could stay beyond 4.45 p.m., after the Tánaiste answers. I ask that we would extend the meeting for a couple of minutes.

Select Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Control of Economic Activity (Occupied Territories) Bill 2018: Discussion (5 Nov 2024)

Gary Gannon: The Tánaiste said in his opening statement that substantive amendments were to be made to the Bill and that the ICJ case in July was a game-changer when it came to the Bill. At what point did his staff start working on the amendments? How long have they been in train? When did the Tánaiste recognise that amendments to the Bill were needed? We are now in November, so it has been...

Select Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Control of Economic Activity (Occupied Territories) Bill 2018: Discussion (5 Nov 2024)

Gary Gannon: Is it the plan that if the Government is re-elected, this would come back to the table straightaway? The timelines for this are very important. It has been reported today in The Ditch that some influence has been placed on the Tánaiste in terms of consequences should this Bill be furthered. I would like the Tánaiste to comment on that because it is very important that clarity is...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (5 Nov 2024)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: The Taoiseach will be aware that there is a great deal of ambition and appetite for improved public transport in Cork but confidence in the system is unfortunately being seriously undermined. Our office is inundated with constant reports of buses not turning up or turning up an hour and 15 minutes late on services that are supposed to run every 20 minutes. Even with the timetable being...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (5 Nov 2024)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: It has been just over a year since Storm Babet visited severe flooding on communities in east Cork and west Waterford. If we had not been reminded of this by its anniversary, the flooding in Spain will certainly have reminded us in a very visceral way. Replies to freedom of information requests show that detailed information is being shared with local authorities ahead of heavy rainfall...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (5 Nov 2024)

Willie O'Dea: It is an open secret that the accident and emergency services provided at University Hospital Limerick are grossly inadequate to meet the needs of the population the hospital is supposed to serve. More than six months has elapsed since HIQA was tasked with finding out if these services were adequate, although we all know they are not, and with making recommendations as to improvements that...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (5 Nov 2024)

Verona Murphy: Yesterday, I had a visit from a lady who had been diagnosed with cancer. She was particularly stressed because, having applied for and received a medical card, she then had to apply for the fuel allowance, an application that has been turned down. Today, that lady phoned me to say that she has received a secondary cancer diagnosis. She is particularly stressed. Not being able to heat her...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (5 Nov 2024)

Simon Harris: I will ask the Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan, to take the two questions on transport if that is okay. I will respond very briefly on the other matters. I thank Deputy Griffin very much for raising the issue of the posthumous pardon for Sylvester Poff and James Barrett and for his role in that campaign. His suggestion as regards Ballymullen Barracks is appropriate and I will certainly follow...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (5 Nov 2024)

Eamon Ryan: To respond to Deputy Danny Healy-Rae, our Department will be looking at the roads allocation for both national and regional roads now. It will have to be agreed with Transport Infrastructure Ireland. That will be developed and agreed with TII before the end of the year. I absolutely agree that we need to maintain maintenance funding for roads because, once a road falls below a certain...

Control of Economic Activity (Occupied Territories) Bill 2018: Referral to Select Committee [Private Members] (5 Nov 2024)

Thomas Pringle: I move: That the Bill be referred to the Select Committee on Foreign Affairs and Defence pursuant to Standing Order 180. Even at this late stage, it is vitally important that any barriers to the passing of the Bill be removed. This can be done through this motion. There is still time for the Government to have a change of heart. It is not likely but there is still time. It is very...
