Childhood Development Initiative: Motion.
I move amendment No. 1: To delete all words after “Dáil Éireann” and substitute the following: —welcomes the report of the Tallaght West Childhood Development Initiative; —notes the Government’s commi...
Obviously we must consider what we should do about those communities that have been built and which have, for the reasons I have outlined, suffered the type of deprivation and disadvantage highlighted...
I will do so.
What counts is that people involved can find it.
I will find them. The RAPID programme operates on a number of levels. The area implementation teams have brought together the various service providers and community representatives in these areas bec...
Will Deputy Rabbitte allow me to continue? The RAPID programme is delivering on this objective, even by Deputy Rabbitte’s admission. When one considers the RAPID plans as opposed to the rather simpler...
No, these are facts. The matching leverage system was put together specifically to deliver on these issues. If this funding were provided for only one year, it would be quite modest. It is to continue...
That is the issue.
I have dedicated funding.
That is the weakness. I keep repeating this. The funding is given under existing budget headlines in the RAPID areas.
That is unworthy of the Deputy.
And every AIT.
When the Deputy was Fine Gael’s spokesperson on Gaeltacht affairs, the islands, CLÁR and rural development, he was never able to make an allegation that any money dispersed from my Department was disp...
The Deputy sat opposite me and has examined——
A great scheme, is it not?
It is a fair question and I would not like to leave the Deputy without an answer.
May I explain? The total annual cost of that scheme is just under €3 million.
The refurbishment of houses in Tallaght this year will cost €2.8 million. Add to that €250,000 which is more than €3 million, so what is being spent on house refurbishment in Tallaght this year exceed...
No. That is a fact.
If it is a local authority house it would have to be the local authority that does the work. The vast majority of people in bad houses are in local authority developments.
Written Answers - Departmental Policy.
Was asked: if he will include CORI justice commission policy recommendations (details supplied) in all policy areas within his Department.
The recommendations to which the Deputy refers form part of CORI’s most recent policy briefing in which it set out its main recommendations for the budget in 2005. In this context I will be advancing ...
Written Answers - Appointments to State Boards.
Was asked: the name, relevant qualifications and process by which each person appointed to a State board operating under the aegis of his Department was appointed since 1994.
My Department was established in June 2002. On specific appointments made to boards within the ambit of my Department, there were a number of appointments made in the period June 2002 to December 2002...
Was asked: the appointments that have been made to State boards and bodies within his Department from 1 January 2003 to 15 June 2004; the persons appointed; and the persons they are replacing.
In response to the Deputy’s query, I wish to confirm that the following appointments have been made to State boards and bodies within my Department from 1 January 2003 to 15 June 2004. These details a...
Written Answers - Afforestation Programme.
Was asked: the reason persons whose land is planted by forestry are exempt from taking part in the rural social scheme; and his views on whether this is discrimination against these persons who are farmers livin...
The scheme is aimed primarily at farmers who are in receipt of long-term social welfare payments, but the rules will admit low-income fishermen also. To be eligible to participate an individual must b...
