Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Capital Grants for Secondary Schools.
Before the next by-election.
Land Bill, 1963—Committee Stage (Resumed).
What special inducement or attraction is there in section 7 for a reluctant migrant that is not there already?
The purchase price.
This is the first time I have seen an attempt, in recent legislation at any rate, to tamper with the question of the annuities. To my mind, that is a very explosive problem indeed, one of which the G...
The Minister knows that his plan is to set up 45-acre holdings all over the country if possible. On that basis, every county in Ireland can justly be described in the same terms as the areas now desc...
They will not have to pay anything extra.
The Minister would be well advised to clarify the position as it is at the moment. Will he tell us why he has found it necessary to bring in the section? What has arisen in the working of the Land C...
There is a point which I should like the Minister to clear up in regard to section 10. I do not want to deal with section 10 yet.
I know, but where a local authority are willing to contribute and there are doubts at the moment about their legal right to do so, would that be where the project would be of public utility or would t...
Yes, but before we come to section 10 I want to know are we letting the cat out of the bag in section 9 and then dealing with something in section 10 in which we have handed over the powers of the Lan...
I am not suggesting the Minister has that intention. I do not want him to take the view I am looking for snags in this, but if the Minister would give me an example it might be helpful. The Explanat...
There is no doubt that the section is purely an enabling section and it could not possibly be anything else. I am strengthened in the suspicion I expressed a few minutes ago that the Land Commission ...
My belief is that as it stands now the Land Commission can say to the Roscommon County Council: “You have the authority and an enabling Act has been passed which enables you to subscribe to the making...
I take it therefore that such a scheme will be one about which up to the present the Land Commission would not do anything?
It arises also as a result of local authorities having shown anxiety in certain circumstances to contribute and this is to remove that doubt?
Was that the one in Mount Talbot?
Was it where a cow fell into a drain?
This is using a sledge hammer to kill a midge.
Owen himself can go into the drain after this.
That is why we have this section.
The Minister has referred to what he described as a peculiar decision. It is a unique case of an individual winning an action against the Land Commission whose responsibility it was to prevent floodi...
On this question of the standard practice in connection with roadmaking to which the Minister has referred, he states there is a procedure now in operation whereby the Land Commission, having made the...
The Minister has already brought in the Minister for Social Welfare, for instance, in this Bill and has taken powers which I felt would normally be the responsibility of the Department of Social Welf...
Do we take it that what happens when the road is improved and the Land Commission are finished in the area is that they notify the local authority?
I think the officials are doing their job in so far as they are given power to do it. Money is the problem in finishing these estates properly. I want the Minister to know that in the local authority...
