Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Committee Stage (Resumed) (23 Jan 2019)

Clare Daly: ..., particularly the idea of the residents having access to an appeals mechanism around the noise insulation scheme. I know that there is an overall appeals process within An Bord Pleanála but that does not negate a separate and easily utilised mechanism around insulation which residents can access because as the airport grows the scheme will have to be accessed more readily. Having...

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Committee Stage (Resumed) (23 Jan 2019)

Clare Daly: ...direction cancelled. I want to hear more about this proposal. It strikes me that this is an extra provision or layer for the big organisations, the airport operators and airlines and the DAA. It does not apply to residents as they would not be issued with an enforcement order. The circumstances in which this provision would apply are where the competent authority has adjudicated that...

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Committee Stage (Resumed) (23 Jan 2019)

Clare Daly: ...from the present figure. However, on the basis of a new runway and much more movement during the day, what it means is not fewer flights overall, just fewer flights during that time. What does this mean and why is the provision there? It is there to suit the likes of Ryanair utilising aircraft on a certain day in order to maximise its profits. It wants the aircraft going out at 6...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Military Aircraft Landings (17 Jan 2019)

Clare Daly: ...for the aircraft on the day in question? For how many more airplanes en routeto commit more crimes around the world, whether in Israel, Yemen or Afghanistan, were we providing cover in 2018? Does the Minister of State not believe 2019 is the year to start a change in this regard?

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Military Aircraft Landings (17 Jan 2019)

Clare Daly: The reply of playing dumb, seeing no evil and hearing no evil is not adequate in this scenario, particularly from a member of the Cabinet. For the Minister of State to say he does not know what is on board because the Defence Forces do not search aircraft is pretty convenient when other arms of the State have the power to search but absolutely do not bother. It is almost exactly 17 years...

Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) (Amendment) Bill 2018: Report and Final Stages (16 Jan 2019)

Clare Daly: Because it does not.

Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) (Amendment) Bill 2018: Report and Final Stages (16 Jan 2019)

Clare Daly: ...fields, including representatives of victims' groups, told us not to go down the road of introducing any more presumptive minimum sentencing regimes because they do not work and the evidence does not support them. Yet here we are doing exactly that. If the signal is to be so disrespectful to the victims of sexual crime by pretending to be doing something that will address their concerns,...

Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) (Amendment) Bill 2018: Report and Final Stages (16 Jan 2019)

Clare Daly: It does not give me any pleasure to say that this is one of the worst pieces of legislation that has come before this Dáil. Our amendments deal with the removal of presumptive minimum sentences for repeat sexual offenders. The measures being put forward in the legislation do not act as a deterrent and will not in any way have an impact on reoffending. The Minister and everybody in the...

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Committee Stage (16 Jan 2019)

Clare Daly: ...purpose of the regulation is to restrict and reduce the impact of aircraft noise. That is a given. We know that it is supposed to enhance quality of life based on a hierarchical system. That does not negate the point I am making, which is that we are not specifying health. The Minister talks about quality of life, but that is not health specifically. Obviously health is an aspect of...

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Committee Stage (16 Jan 2019)

Clare Daly: .... The first point I want to make is that we have to see what Ireland is doing in the context of what other countries are doing. The Minister's proposition to appoint Fingal County Council not only does not meet the requirement for independence, as outlined by Deputy Munster, but is completely at variance with what every single other jurisdiction in the European Union has done. We know...

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Committee Stage (16 Jan 2019)

Clare Daly: ...put it to the Minister that designating Fingal County Council as the competent authority, in advance of the Oireachtas approving it, is a pretty dodgy course of action to take, particularly when he does not have a plan B. The simple fact of the matter is that nobody agrees with the Minister’s proposition to designate Fingal County Council as the competent authority for noise...

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Committee Stage (16 Jan 2019)

Clare Daly: But the problem is that for the Minister to come back with points that have been raised months ago and rehearse those does not bring the argument on and he does not demonstrate that he is listening to what members have said and making adaptations based on that.

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Committee Stage (16 Jan 2019)

Clare Daly: ...we have long been campaigning to try to have one. How time-sensitive is it and what would be the impact? Who will suffer because of the delay? The DAA, for example, is on record as stating it does not mind at all who the competent authority is as long as we get our act together and get the legislation through, thus providing for more clarity. What we are saying strongly is that we all...

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Committee Stage (16 Jan 2019)

Clare Daly: ...Could the Minister give us an explanation of what the nine people will be doing? As the Minister has looked at it sufficiently to state there are nine people at these particular pay grades, what does he envisage those people doing on a day-to-day basis? How would it work? How would it fit in with the rest of the local authority? We are talking about nine people on various grades, which...

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Committee Stage (16 Jan 2019)

Clare Daly: ...is laid before it under subsection (2), annul the regulation. (4) The annulment of a regulation under subsection (3)takes effect immediately on the passing of the resolution concerned, but does not affect the validity of anything done under the regulation before the passing of the resolution. (5) A regulation may be made under sections 9(9)and 10(16)only if— (a) a draft of the...

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Committee Stage (16 Jan 2019)

Clare Daly: ...science and the actual reasons we are bringing in aircraft noise regulation and the health impacts. He is saying we will not bring it up to date. This is not a contradiction; it is an add-on. It does not undermine anything. It strengthens the Bill.

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Committee Stage (16 Jan 2019)

Clare Daly: I acknowledge that it is not permissible to divulge the advice of the Attorney General. However, the section of the Bill dealing with definitions does not only make reference to the 2002 directive; it also refers to decisions of the European Parliament and Council in 2015. It is not that the Minister is dealing solely with the 2002 directive to which nothing has been added. The definitions...

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Committee Stage (16 Jan 2019)

Clare Daly: .... The idea that we could not put that somewhere in the Bill is mad. I am not going to drone through the pages of other criteria that the competent authority has to take into account but it does not refer to health. I am not saying we should take out cost-effectiveness and replace it with health considerations. I am not saying health considerations have to be the only thing. I am just...

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Committee Stage (16 Jan 2019)

Clare Daly: ...to be factored in in some format when we get to Report Stage. I hope the Minister is hearing that message because Opposition members will get together to agree on amendments if the Department does not factor in health. Hopefully, in the promised discussions in the next week, we can all come up with a wording with which we could all live.

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Committee Stage (16 Jan 2019)

Clare Daly: ...it in that arena which disenfranchises residents. My amendment proposes that the Minister would have to deal with it. As he said earlier, it probably will not arise all that much. However, if it does, then my amendment would ensure the Minister would have to bring it before the House. It is an important amendment.
