Written Answers 12 February 2019 Written Answers. The following are questions tabled by Members for written response and the ministerial replies as received on the day from the Departments [unrevised]. Questions Nos. 1 to 22, inclusive, answered orally. Questions Nos. 23 to 50, inclusive, resubmitted. Questions Nos. 51 to 56, inclusive, answered orally. 12/02/2019WRB00300Brexit Preparations 12/02/2019WRB0040057. Deputy Michael Moynihan asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he has spoken with his French counterpart regarding Brexit recently and the arrangements that France has in place for Calais and other ports. [4074/19] 12/02/2019WRB00500Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport (Deputy Shane Ross): I met my French counterpart, Minister Elisabeth Borne, on Brexit matters in Dublin on 23 November 2018. I highlighted the importance of transport connectivity and Ireland’s concerns in particular in relation to the continued use of the UK landbridge when the UK leaves the EU. We discussed also the potential implications for ports both in Ireland and in France given the levels of trade that both of our countries have with the UK. Minister Borne shared many of my concerns and said that France, like Ireland, was preparing for all scenarios, including facilitation of EU and Irish traffic at Calais. The landbridge is the fastest shipping route to continental Europe and as such is relied upon by many Irish exporters and importers for the transport of time-sensitive products, such as those in the agri-food/perishable goods sector, just-in-time and high value goods. An estimated €18.2 billion of our exports rely on this route, first travelling from Ireland by sea to the UK, making their way through the UK roads network to ports such as Dover, and then entering continental Europe at French ports, particularly the port of Calais. Disruption or delays on the Dover – Calais maritime link when the UK leaves the EU could considerably impact on hauliers and Irish businesses and is of major concern. At official level, the Landbridge Project Group, chaired by the Department of Foreign Af- fairs and Trade and including officials from my own Department, the Revenue Commissioners, the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, and others has been working closely with the European Commission and other affected Member States (France, Germany, the Nether- lands, Belgium, Denmark and Sweden) with a view to preparing EU ports to facilitate the tran- sit of EU products through the UK once it becomes a third country through the use of EU rules on internal transit set out under the Union’s Custom Code. 1 Questions - Written Answers A cross-departmental delegation of officials including from my Department travelled to France in November of last year for meetings on Brexit preparedness. The need for French ports to facilitate the movement of Irish trucks transiting the UK was discussed. Irish officials also met with the European Commission for technical consultations on the landbridge in December 2018. The Government will continue to work with our French counterparts, other EU Member States and the European Commission in seeking to ensure that the landbridge can continue to be an effective route for our businesses trading with the rest of the EU Single Market. Separately, a number of representatives from French ports have travelled to Ireland to meet with Irish port representatives on a number of occasions and most recently in January of this year. Questions No. 58 to 63, inclusive, answered orally. 12/02/2019WRB00700Railway Stations 12/02/2019WRB0080064. Deputy Bríd Smith asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport his views on the impact on persons with disabilities who can not access DART and rail transport due to the non-maintenance and failures of lifts at certain stations; his plans to ensure such persons can access rail and DART services in the future; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6714/19] 12/02/2019WRB00900Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport (Deputy Shane Ross): As Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. However, I am not involved in the day-to- day operations of public transport. The issues raised by the Deputy about problems with passenger lifts at some train stations are operational matters for Iarnród Éireann. That said, I am concerned that the company would be doing its utmost to ensure continued accessibility for passengers who need these facilities, and I have been assured that Iarnród Éireann is committed to providing all its customers, includ- ing those who are mobility and sensory impaired, the highest level of accessibility on its rail network. When lifts get damaged and are out of service, some specialised parts may be required which can take some time to be delivered. Iarnród Éireann endeavours to return all out-of- service lifts to operational service as quickly as possible. The company’s provider of lift main- tenance services gives priority to lift requirements for repair and attention. Iarnród Éireann has also advised that extensive and deliberate vandalism has a big impact on the functionality and reliability of lifts on the network. The Iarnród Éireann website and the Passenger Information System displays at all DART stations is updated in the event of a lift being out of order. I am advised that a number of measures are being taken by Iarnród Éireann to improve ac- cess for people with disabilities to rail and DART services. Under the Accessibility Retro-fit Programme funding is provided for, amongst other things, the upgrading of train stations to make them accessible to wheelchair users. In this regard, I secured a trebling of the funding provided for the Retro-fit Programme to €28 million for the period 2018 to 2021. In 2018 €1m was provided for rail station accessibility upgrades and this has been increased to €3m for 2019. With increased funding from 2019 it is envisaged that larger projects will be undertaken at rail- way stations including the installation of lifts and bridges to allow easy access “across track” platforms for wheelchair users. 2 12 February 2019 Following a review by Iarnród Éireann of accessibility on the DART, Maynooth and North- ern Commuter lines, and consultation with users and representative bodies, the company has launched a new Improved Accessibility Policy. This involves a new zonal system for DART, Maynooth and Northern Commuter, that is designed to provide better service and quicker re- sponse times to passengers who require assistance. This policy divides the 31 stations on the DART, Maynooth and Northern Commuter lines into 13 zones, with each zone including be- tween one to four stations. One station in each zone will always be manned and will provide support to other stations in that zone. Full details are available on the Irish Rail website. Iarnród Éireann has reduced the notice period for providing assistance to customers on the DART from 24 hours to 4 hours and the company is working towards reducing this notice pe- riod even further. Furthermore, Iarnród Éireann intends to deploy Customer Service Officers (CSO) on all Intercity routes. This will mean that, at all stops, train services with a CSO on board will be able to ensure ramp assistance is available. Iarnród Éireann is also developing a dedicated app to support customers who have mobility or sensory impairments, and I provided additional funding for this in 2018. This will be intro- duced in coming months. The app will allow users to pre-book a journey that confirms they will have assistance by a member of Iarnród Éireann staff at their departure and arrival stations and provide them with support in an emergency. 12/02/2019WRB01000Public Transport Fares 12/02/2019WRB0110065. Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he has investigated or plans to investigate a similar move here in view of the decision of Luxemburg to introduce free public transport; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6722/19] 12/02/2019WRB01200Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport (Deputy Shane Ross): As Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. The National Transport Authority (NTA) has the statutory responsibility for the regulation of fares in relation to public passenger transport services. The NTA also has statutory responsibility for securing the provision of public transport services by way of public transport services contracts in respect of services that are socially necessary but commercially unviable. The funding of those services comprises both the fares paid by passengers and the subven- tion payments from the Exchequer. The main purpose of the subvention payment is to meet the gap between income from fares and the cost of operating services. I understand that free public transport is available in some European cities and towns to encourage increased use of public transport. The objectives of such initiatives can be to reduce traffic congestion, to attract people into cities for leisure purposes, and to provide environmen- tal benefits. In 2019, the Irish Exchequer will provide just over €300m as subvention for public service obligation (PSO) transport services and Rural Transport Local Link services. I understand that the NTA wrote to the Deputy in September last and indicated that, in 2017, passengers paid about €580 million in fares on subsidised bus and rail services. 3 Questions - Written Answers Therefore, if such services were to be provided free to passengers, then the expected cost to the Exchequer would be in excess of the €580m collected in fares in 2017. This amount would be additional to the 2019 Exchequer allocation of €300m for PSO support and the further amount (€95m allocation for 2019) that the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Pro- tection pays to public transport providers in respect of its Free Travel Scheme which provides free transport to almost 1 million people in the State, including all people aged over 66 living permanently here, along with some other qualifying people.

  • University of Limerick SU
    ULf University of Limerick SU Clubs and Societies Safety Statement Academic Year 2011-2012 UL Fencing Club ULf 1. Introduction This safety statement is designed to set out the control measures that the club/society has in place to reduce the risk associated with its activities to the minimum that is reasonably practicable. The document sets out the role of the Club’s & Society officers with respect to safety. It also sets out the standards that the Students Union requires the club/society to adhere to. The officers have overall responsibility for ensuring safety standards are high and that members are aware of these standards. Officers should bring this document to the attention of their members and explain to them the basic safety rules that all members must adhere to when participating in club/society activities. Officers should customise the Safety Statement to their own club/society requirements. If the club or society carries out any hazardous activities these must be identified in writing and an assessment of the risk associated with the activity must be made, i.e. an estimation of the likelihood of something going wrong and the severity of the injury or ill health that may occur if things go wrong. The club/society must then set out what it does to eliminate or minimise the risk. If the club is affiliated to a governing body the safety standards of the governing body must be used. 1.1 Role of the President of the Club/Society The Presidents role with respect to safety involves the following; ● ensuring that everyone is familiar with the Safety Statement, ● that there are first aiders and first aid equipment available if required, ● that trip leaders are suitably experienced, ● ensuring that novices are well looked after ● that relevant training is provided where necessary, ● and that everyone is aware of the action to be taken in an emergency.

  • Strategic Implementation Plan 2019-2022
    Strategic Implementation Plan 2019-2022 Strategic Implementation Plan - 1 2 - Fencing Ireland TABLE OF CONTENTS Fencing in Ireland in 2018 4 Vision, Mission and Strategic Goals 6 Strategic Goal 1 8 Strategic Goal 2 9 Strategic Goal 3 10 Underpinning the Strategic Goals 11 Implementation Plan 12 Appendix 1 – Club Symposium and Club Toolbox 16 Appendix 2 – Draft Marketing Plan for Development 17 Strategic Implementation Plan - 3 Fencing in Ireland in 2019 The Sport Context The sport of fencing in Ireland benefits from good levels of support from Sport Ireland. For 2019 this has been demonstrated with an increase in core funding from €29,000 to €55,000, as well as project funding of €35,000 from Dormant Accounts for a project in Dublin 15. Fencing is a small and niche sport, but with decent potential to ramp up its activities, with its core fundamentals being strong. It is a sport with an international dimension and outlet, and with the possibility of collaborating with other sports. It has the potential to grow both its participative and competitive dimensions, and use the increase in core funding to build its administrative capacity. Membership at Club Level Clubs vary within the sport. Clubs exist using rented halls, and within universities. Within the fencing community club membership experiences vary. Some clubs are doing well at attracting and retaining a vibrant community of fencers from all age ranges and walks of life. However, many clubs are strug- gling to attract and retain players (other than a die-hard core group). Because fencers can have a long sporting career, the sport has an active cohort of master’s participants.

    Studies in Arts and Humanities VOL07/ISSUE01/2021 ARTICLE | sahjournal.com Sport Ireland Women In Sport Nora Stapleton Women in Sport Lead, Sport Ireland Details © Nora Stapleton. This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial- NoDerivatives 4.0 International License. To view a copy of this license, visit http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/. Abstract The challenges facing women and girls in sport have a long history and many interventions to address these challenges have occurred over the years. It is well documented that these challenges no longer simply apply to female’s active participation in sport and physical activity but through all aspects of the sporting landscape, i.e. coaching, officiating, leadership, governance and visibility. Though time has seen improvements naturally, Sport Ireland financial support and dedicated women in sport programmes developed as a result have had positive impacts which are explored in this paper.Using information gathered through the work of Sport Ireland, its databases, commissioned reports, dedicated policies and via reports from National Governing Bodies and Local Sports Partnerships, this paper provides a more detailed insight into the history of the Sport Ireland Women in Sport programme as well as other areas that impact women and girls in sport. It tracks the evolution of the programme since the inception of funding in 2005 to how it is managed today, as well as outlining some of Sport Ireland’s current Women in Sport (WiS) projects. In order to give a full overview, information is also contained on the history of funding allocated to female High Performance athletes in Ireland.
