Road Repairs Following Bad Weather: New Arrangements Welcome
Posted by droche on: Saturday 06 February 2010 @ 14:30:42 (read: 85 times)
GeneralFlooding last November and the recent severe cold weather has caused serious damage to local and regional roads throughout the country. It is important that Councils are in a position to start urgent repair work immediately. New measures introduced by the Minister for Transport that allow Councils to get on with repair works have been welcomed by Minister Dick Roche.

The Department of Transport has asked local authorities to provide an assessment of the additional road costs incurred as a result of the severe weather conditions. The returns by local authorities will enable the Minister and his Department to assess the full impact of the severe weather and to factor this into the 2010 Regional and Local Road allocations. However immediate action is also required.

GeneralThe report of the Financial Regulator published on the 4th of February provides disturbing evidence that some insurance, investment and stock broking firms are behaving unethically by not observing the agreed customer Consumer Protection Code.

The report also highlights a continuing danger as to the suitability of investment products being sold by some companies to older customers, according to Minister for European Affairs Dick Roche T.D.

Political Point Scoring Causing Unnecessary Concern
Posted by droche on: Wednesday 03 February 2010 @ 18:50:07 (read: 104 times)
General“Political point scoring about arrangements to protect homeowners who are experiencing financial difficulties are causing confusion and unnecessary concern particularly amongst young couples who are trying to buy their family homes and who are having financial difficulties” – according to the Minister for European Affairs Dick Roche.

“The most important point for people who are facing problems with their mortgages to bear in mind is that there are arrangements in place to help them”. In recent weeks political point scoring has led some people who are in difficulties to believe that arrangements are coming to an end or “running out”.

Delgany and Greystones Must be Allowed to Retain their Individual Character
Posted by droche on: Wednesday 13 January 2010 @ 13:54:19 (read: 136 times)
Greystones“It is surprising to read that the issue of some form of amalgamation between the towns of Delgany and Greystones has arisen again”.

This issue was resolved in 1984 when, prior to the establishment of the Greystones Town Council boundary, residents in both communities were consulted as to where the boundary between Greystones and Delgany should have been made.

Dick Supports Retention of Greystones Land for Sporting Uses
Posted by droche on: Wednesday 13 January 2010 @ 13:52:18 (read: 154 times)
GreystonesDick has added his support to the campaign being spearheaded by Greystones Rugby Club to retain the 1.5 acre site that has been within their use for the past decade and used by many local people as part of the clubs sporting facilities.

“The decision of Council management to proceed with a process to invite submissions for use of the site with the ultimate intention of selling it on for commercial purposes, raises questions over what the local area Councillors knew prior to the ‘For Sale’ sign being erected.

The Cathaoirleach of Bray Town Council is Incompetent for Public Office
Posted by droche on: Wednesday 13 January 2010 @ 13:49:54 (read: 151 times)
BrayCouncillor Ryan is a member of both Wicklow County Council and Bray Town Council. He is the Cathaoirleach of Bray Town Council. Councillor Ryan must be aware that statutory responsibility for the maintenance repair and upkeep of local roads is a matter for Local Authorities. Yet like so many other members of his party, he trots out the incomprehensible nonsense that somehow or other it is the responsibility of central Government to maintain and repair roads. The fact that Councillor Ryan does not know where legal responsibility resides for local roads raises questions as to his fitness for office.

Ireland has 96,000 kilometres of roads. Wicklow County Council alone has responsibility for over 2,000 kilometres of roads. Anybody with a scintilla of wit, a category that excludes Councillor Ryan, would know that responsibility during the course of emergencies such as the recent snow emergency for keeping those roads open is a matter primarily for Local Authorities. Typically having sought election to two Local Authorities, Ryan wishes to avoid that reality and to avoid the responsibilities of his office.

GeneralDick haas expressed his sadness at the tragic death of Fr. Jeremiah Roche, who was a member of the Kiltegan Fathers whose base is in the Minister’s Constituency of County Wicklow.

Like so many of the Kiltegan Fathers, Fr Roche was serving the needs of the community in which he lived in Kenya for the past 31 years.

The brutal manner, in which Fr. Roche was murdered last night, is a terrible and traumatic event for the Kiltegan Fathers and for Fr Roche’s family. My sympathies are with them both at this difficult time.

FG Proposals on Carbon Credits Will Cost Users Dearly
Posted by droche on: Monday 07 December 2009 @ 17:05:59 (read: 223 times)
EnvironmentFine Gael in its Pre-Budget Perspectives is proposing to introduce a stealth tax on electricity. The proposal involves clawing back the value of the carbon credits from the energy sector, a feature of the European Union Emission Trading Scheme, by effectively subjecting credits to a 100% ‘tax’.

“This utterly ludicrous proposition will shove up electricity prices to business and to households alike and is likely to be the subject to legal challenge, an eventuality that would put a €200m hole in the Fine Gael calculations, according to Minister for European Affairs, Dick Roche.

FG Pre–Budget Submission an Exercise in ‘Voodoo Economics’
Posted by droche on: Sunday 06 December 2009 @ 14:03:28 (read: 227 times)
GeneralThe Fine Gael policy document realised on Friday demonstrates the internal divisions in FG, proposes PRSI hikes that are savage, will kill jobs & slash take home pay for workers by €520m” says Minister for European Affairs, Dick Roche

Fine Gael is dangerously divided on economic policy. Richard Bruton accepts that there must be a cut in public expenditure of a net €4 billion and includes proposals for cuts in the public service pay bill of €1.7billion. George Lee rejects that view.

FG Proposals to save €2.3 Billion are Pie in the Sky
Posted by droche on: Sunday 06 December 2009 @ 14:01:24 (read: 206 times)
GeneralFine Gael suggestion that it would save €2.3 billion by cutting costs and bureaucracy’ has been described by Minister Dick Roche as 'laudable but little more than a wish list aimed at bamboozling voters on its Pre –Budget’ submission.

Speaking on the publication of the Fine Gael ‘Pre-Budget’ Perspectives document Minister Roche said:

The figures suggested for savings in the FG document are by and large ‘plucked from the sky’.

There is no sustainable supporting evidence in the FG document as to how the savings will be achieved.
