Ceisteanna (61)

Carol Nolan

Ceist:

61. Deputy Carol Nolan asked the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment the expenditure his Department incurred in respect of external legal fees in each of the years from 2016 to date in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14067/20]

My Department administers a very diverse and complex brief.  Its remit includes oversight of very complex policy areas and direct procurement of major services where protection of the State’s interest must be paramount.  This situation necessarily requires my Department to procure specialist external professional advice in legal areas to enable it to discharge its responsibility to deliver quality services and protect the interests of the State and the taxpayer. In procuring specialised legal services, my Department always seeks to ensure value for money and the keeping of expenditure to the minimum necessary.

The information requested is outlined in the following table.

Trading Online Voucher Scheme

Ceisteanna (63)

Robert Troy

Ceist:

63. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment if a proposal raised in correspondence by a person (details supplied) regarding the streamlining of trading online vouchers will be given consideration. [14185/20]

Amharc ar fhreagra

Freagraí scríofa

The Trading Online Voucher Scheme is managed by my Department and delivered nationwide in partnership with the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment and the Department of Media, Tourism, Arts, Culture, Sport and the Gaeltacht, Enterprise Ireland, the 31 Local Enterprise Offices and Údarás na Gaeltachta. The Scheme offers skills training, mentoring and a grant of up to €2,500 to help small and micro-businesses to develop their ecommerce capability. In response to Covid-19, funding for the Scheme in 2020 was increased from €2.3m to €19.8m, and new flexibilities were introduced including reducing the requirement for co-funding from 50% to 10% and allowing businesses to apply for a second voucher of up to €2,500 where they have successfully utilised their first one. In addition, the restaurant and accommodation sectors have been included as eligible sectors under the Scheme.

It is a requirement of the Scheme that prospective applicants participate in an information session. The content of the information session includes:

- What the Trading Online Voucher can be used for, and how the Scheme Works;

- The opportunities associated with ecommerce;

- Tools for helping a business participate in ecommerce; and

- The do’s and don’ts of an online ecommerce presence.

The information session also provides prospective applicants with an opportunity to network and learn from the experience of others. Given these benefits it is not proposed to remove this requirement.

My Department has a long-standing policy of technology and product neutrality, and as such does not endorse or pre-approve any particular technology or product.

Each business is best placed to decide whether a particular ecommerce solution will meet its current and future needs.  Businesses are permitted to use the voucher for subscriptions to low cost online retail platforms, however they are encouraged to use the majority of their voucher to develop their own website that can handle transactions so they are not tied indefinitely to ongoing management or transaction fees.

Local Authority Staff

My Department does not compile data regarding the resources and staffing allocated to, and by, individual Local Authorities to undertake specific functions, such as air quality monitoring or enforcement. It is at the discretion of each Local Authority to decide its own priorities and to allocate staff and resources accordingly. Funding of such services would generally be met from the exchequer and local authority own resources.

Internet Safety

Ceisteanna (66)

Alan Farrell

Ceist:

66. Deputy Alan Farrell asked the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment the status of the online safety and media regulation Bill which includes the establishment of an online safety commissioner; if he will address the issue of websites that are developed for the express purpose of anonymity for trolling persons online; the accountability which will be in place to stop this behaviour; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14282/20]

The proposed Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill will establish a multi-person Media Commission, including an Online Safety Commissioner, dissolve the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland, establish a regulatory framework for online safety and  the regulation of audiovisual media services, and transpose the revised Audiovisual Media Services Directive.  

The regulatory framework for online safety will be overseen by the Online Safety Commissioner. The Commissioner will have the power to designate online services for regulation and to create and enforce binding online safety codes. These will seek to minimise the availability of harmful online content, including serious cyberbullying material, through oversight of the systems that online services use to deliver and moderate content. The regulator will have the power to sanction non-compliant online services.

The General Scheme of the Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill was approved by Government on 9 January 2020 and subsequently published on 10 January 2020. At that time the Government also approved the detailed drafting of the proposed Bill by the Office of the Attorney General and forwarded the General Scheme to the Joint Oireachtas Committee for Communications, Climate Action and Environment for pre-legislative scrutiny. Due to the dissolution of the Dáil and Committees in January, pre-legislative scrutiny has not yet commenced. Engagement with the AGO is continuing on the detailed drafting of the Bill.

The finalised General Scheme will also be notified to the European Commission for a technical conformity assessment with relevant EU law regarding regulations on online services.

Responsibility for media and broadcasting is being assigned to the Minister for Media, Tourism, Arts, Culture, Sport and the Gaeltacht.

Waste Management

Ceisteanna (67)

Seán Haughey

Ceist:

67. Deputy Seán Haughey asked the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment the role of the price monitoring group in respect of residential waste collection charges; the role of the price monitoring group in the future; his plans to regulate waste management companies; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14322/20]

Amharc ar fhreagra

Freagraí scríofa

The waste management market in Ireland is serviced by private companies, where prices charged, including any service charges, are a contract matter between those companies and their customers. Since mid-2017, a range of charging options have operated, which encourage householders to reduce and separate their waste. This provides flexibility to waste collectors to develop various service-price offerings that suit different household circumstances. Mandatory per kilogramme 'pay by weight' charging was not introduced. A Price Monitoring Group (PMG) was established at that time to monitor the on-going cost of residential waste collection to homeowners across Ireland as the ‘flat-rate structure’ was being phased out. While fluctuations in prices and service offerings have been observed, the overall trend has been relative price stability. Results from the PMG are available on my Department's website. The PMG will continue to play an important role in collecting and analysing market data to inform policy makers.

I will soon be bringing forward an ambitious new waste policy which will include a range of measures to reform and strengthen waste collection, while enhancing the position of the consumer. The new waste policy will take account of the public consultation process and the discussions of the Advisory Group established to support development of the policy. The policy will also reflect the level of ambition in the waste and climate areas at EU level, including the range of actions proposed in the European Green Deal, which was published in December 2019. It will set out a range of objectives and targets for the State and the measures by which to achieve them.

The Just Transition Fund is a key pillar of the Government's just transition plan for the midlands. Up to €11 million will be available in 2020 for projects focusing on retraining workers and proposals to generate sustainable employment in green enterprise in the region, and supporting communities to transition to a low carbon economy. This is financed through an Exchequer allocation of €6m from carbon tax revenues and an additional €5 million committed by ESB. I am informed by the secretariat to the Midlands Regional Transition Team (MRTT) that over 150 projects were received via Stage 1 - the MRTT - START engagement process.  This stage closed on Friday, 12 June.  Projects that have registered at the first stage may now proceed to submit an application for funding to my Department, subject to meeting eligibility requirements and terms and conditions for funding published by my Department on Friday, 19 June.  Projects have until Friday, 17 July to submit proposals for funding. Evaluation of submitted proposals will commence shortly afterwards and initial disbursement of funding to successful projects will take place following the conclusion of this process.

The section in the Programme for Government titled ‘The Exit from Peat in the Midlands’ commits to ensuring that the transition to a low-carbon, climate-resilient and environmentally sustainable economy is fair. The transition out of peat in the Midlands is the first test of the just transition. The Government will ensure that the Just Transition in the Midlands works inclusively and that it is an example of how large communities can introduce major changes in their daily lives and workplaces and still prosper. As part of this work, my Department will support the Just Transition Commissioner in designing a comprehensive and inclusive response, publish and implement a detailed all-of-government implementation plan consistent with the recommendations of the first report of the Just Transition Commissioner and conduct a feasibility study into the establishment of a Green Energy/Renewable Energy Hub in the Midlands, using the existing infrastructure in this region.

In conjunction with this, Government will undertake a national land use review, including farmland, forests, and peatlands, so that optimal land use options inform all relevant government decisions. The review will balance environmental, social, and economic considerations and involve a process of evaluation of the ecological characteristics of the land. It will include consideration of emissions to air and water, carbon sequestration, and climate adaptation challenges. Policy co-benefits, such as rewetting or forest regrowth to mitigate flooding risks in river catchments, will be considered. All stakeholders will be consulted.

National Broadband Plan

The High Speed Broadband Map, which is available at www.broadband.gov.ie , shows the areas in County Longford and County Westmeath which will be included in the National Broadband Plan (NBP) State led intervention as well as areas targeted by commercial operators. The map is colour coded and searchable by address and Eircode. - Premises in the AMBER area will be provided with high speed broadband through the State led Intervention, the contract for which was signed in November last with National Broadband Ireland (NBI).

- The BLUE area represents those areas where commercial providers are either currently delivering or have plans to deliver high speed broadband services.

- The LIGHT BLUE area represents eir's commercial rural deployment plans to rollout high speed broadband to 300,000 premises, including in Longford and Westmeath, as part of a Commitment Agreement signed with my Department in April 2017.

The NBP network will offer those premises within the AMBER area, a high speed broadband service with a minimum download speed of 150Mbps from the outset.  By the end of next year, NBI plans to pass in the region of 115,000 premises, with 70,000 - 100,000 passed each year thereafter until rollout is completed. All counties will see premises passed in the first 2 years and over 90% of premises in the State will have access to high speed broadband within the next four years. Further information on deployment activities associated with the rollout can be found on the NBI website http://www.nbi.ie. The Government is committed to delivering high speed broadband to every home, farm, business and school in Ireland and my Department continues to engage with NBI to explore the feasibility of accelerating aspects of this rollout to establish the possibility of bringing forward premises which are currently scheduled in years 6 and 7 of the current plan to an earlier date.

To support remote working and connected communities, approximately 300 Broadband Connections Points (BCPs) were identified by Local Authorities to be connected to high speed broadband this year. This will assist communities to quickly get free public access to high speed broadband in advance of the main deployment under the National Broadband Plan (NBP). The planned BCP locations, including schools, library hubs, local sports facilities and other public places are available to view on the High Speed Broadband Map on the Department’s website www.broadband.gov.ie.

The BCP delivery project is well underway and connectivity is being provided to each of the sites by National Broadband Ireland (NBI). Subsequent to this, the sites, other than schools, are being Wi-Fi enabled by Vodafone under a contract with the Department of Rural and Community Development. This work also involves the local authorities and site owners to determine the services that will be provided for end-users at each site. For the 75 schools that are also part of this project, enabling these schools with Wi-Fi is being led by the Department of Education subsequent to NBI providing the connectivity to the schools.

Bringing connectivity to remote rural locations is central to promoting regional development and BCPs represent an important delivery in the early stages of the National Broadband Plan. 

North-South Interconnector

73. Deputy Matt Carthy asked the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment if local communities along the route of the proposed north-south interconnector which are of the view that the project should be undergrounded will be supported; if the project will be reviewed in view of the delays that have ensued to date; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The North South Interconnector is critical to improving the efficient operation of the Single Electricity Market and increasing security of electricity supply across the island of Ireland. It will also help us to move towards 70% renewable electricity. A resilient and well connected energy infrastructure is vital for Ireland’s economic well-being and the ability to respond to the future needs of energy consumers. My Department published an independent study in October 2018 on undergrounding the interconnector. The study found that an overhead line remained the most appropriate option for the proposed interconnector. The study report is available on the Department's website at

https://www.dccae.gov.ie/en-ie/energy/publications/Documents/20/IEC%20Final%20Report%20North%20South%20Interconnector.pdf.

This study was the latest in a series of studies that reached the same conclusion and whilst there have been delays in securing planning consent in both jurisdictions I do not intend to order a further review of the project.

As the Deputy is aware, Shannon Heritage is part of Shannon Group which operates in both the aviation and tourism sectors and in addition to the dramatic fall off in passengers at the airport, the closure and restricted re-opening of some Shannon Heritage sites means the impacts on the Group have been particularly severe. I would like to advise the Deputy that while I have not received specific representations from Shannon Heritage in relation to a PSO to allow heritage sites to remain open after 31 August 2020, my Department has received a request from Shannon Group for a range of government support measures to assist and enable Shannon Group, including Shannon Heritage, to help mitigate the impacts of the COVID-19 crisis. My Department is considering these requests as part of a wider examination of the future viability and sustainability of the Group and will bring recommendations to government in this regard in due course. As the Deputy may be aware the operation of the Shannon heritage sites, including opening arrangements, is an operational matter for Shannon Heritage and its parent company Shannon Group plc.

The levying and collection of rates are legally matters for each individual local authority. Local authorities are under a statutory obligation to levy rates on any property used for commercial purposes.

On 2 May 2020, a waiver of commercial rates was announced to all businesses that have been forced to close due to public health requirements, from 27 March 2020, for a three-month period. The costs involved are to be met by the Exchequer and the administration by local authorities of this measure will be by way of a credit in lieu of rates. My Department is currently preparing further guidance on the scope and application of the waiver for local authorities.

Land that is developed for sport, such as playing pitches, is exempt from rates under the Valuation Act 2001. There is also provision for the exemption of community halls which are not licensed to sell alcohol and where the facilities are not used for profit. However, the Act provides that where an organisation or club is registered under the Registration of Clubs (Ireland) Act 1904, and is licensed to sell alcohol, all the club buildings, wherever located, are rateable in their entirety. Such premises closed and ceased trading in line with the health restrictions set out in the Health Act 1947 (Section 31A - Temporary Restrictions) (Covid-19) Regulations 2020 (S.I. No. 121 of 2020).

The Programme for Government – Our Shared Future, commits to setting out how commercial rates will be treated for the remainder of 2020, as a priority action for the new Government.

In order to support the local government sector generally, I will ensure that my Department will continue to keep local authority income, expenditure and cash flow generally under review and will continue to work with all local authorities, both collectively and individually, on issues arising.

The improvement and maintenance of regional and local roads (RLR) is the statutory responsibility of the relevant local authority in accordance with the provisions of Section 13 of the Roads Act 1993. Works on those roads are funded from Councils' own resources supplemented by Exchequer road grants, where applicable. In the case of the four Dublin Councils, since the revision of the arrangements for the retention of Local Property Tax in 2015 these Councils are required to largely self-fund their road programmes.

As regards the ‘Guidelines for Setting & Managing Speed Limits in Ireland’ published in March 2015, under the relevant road traffic legislation, it is Council elected members that take decisions on the application of special speed limits in accordance with the Guidelines. Following the publication of the 2015 Guidelines, my Department did introduce grant support for the provision of speed limit and warning signs related to the reduction of speed limits in housing areas. The Department has continued to provide grant support to eligible local authorities since then and this programme is now nearing conclusion. The Department has also funded a number of pilot traffic calming schemes with a view to assessing the effectiveness of different measures.

Eligible local authorities have been advised that where a Council considers that additional traffic calming measures are required in addition to appropriate signage in housing areas, such proposals can be included in its annual Safety Improvement Works programme application.

In relation to the consideration of measures for inclusion in the July stimulus programme, the primary focus of proposals will be on measures that can be implemented quickly with a focus on employment generation.

The Government is acutely aware that tourism and hospitality is one of the most directly affected sectors in the current crisis. The impact of COVID-19 on tourism globally has been overwhelming and immediate with unprecedented consequences for Ireland’s tourism and hospitality sector.

The new Programme for Government contains a commitment that a July Jobs Initiative will be brought forward which will, among other things, "set out a pathway for the future implementation of the Temporary Wage Subsidy". The matter raised by the Deputy will be one of the many factors that will be taken into account as part of that exercise.

The Tourism Recovery Taskforce was established on 20th May 2020. The purpose of the Taskforce is to prepare a Tourism Recovery Plan which will include a set of recommendations on how best the Irish tourism sector can adapt and recover in the changed tourism environment as a result of the Covid-19 crisis. The Taskforce has submitted an initial report to Ministers.

Parking Provision

The Disabled Parking Permit (also known as the European Parking Card or Disabled Parking Badge) is available to people living in Ireland whose mobility is severely restricted, whether they are drivers or passengers, and also to those who are registered blind. In 2010 the Department conducted a review of the Disabled Parking Scheme, in consultation with various stakeholders, and one of the issues examined was eligibility for the scheme. As a result of the review the scheme was revised so that permits are now given on the basis of mobility impairment rather than the diagnosis of a particular condition or illness. This is in line with the original intention of the scheme.

The possibility of extending the eligibility criteria for the scheme to include people with certain intellectual, developmental and other invisible disabilities has been raised on a number of occasions and the Department has consulted extensively with the joint issuing authorities of the scheme, the Disabled Drivers Association of Ireland (DDAI) and the Irish Wheelchair Association (IWC), who also represent the people with disabilities for whose needs the scheme is intended. In light of these consultations there are currently no plans to change the criteria.

I would particularly emphasise to the Deputy that issuing a large number of extra permits by extending the eligibility criteria would put the existing scheme under significant additional pressure and compromise the availability of disabled parking spaces in general, thus disadvantaging those with restricted mobility who are currently eligible.
