Tuarascáil Bhliantúil Annual Report 2014
TUARASCÁIL BHLIANTÚIL ANNUAL REPORT 2014 COMHAIRLE CONTAE LÚ LOUTH COUNTY COUNCIL COUNCIL COAT OF ARMS The Arms of the County, as granted by the Chief Herald to the Council in 1976, are derived as follows:- “Vert a besant charged with a Dexter Hand aversant coupled at the wrist proper” This is the description of the lower part of the shield which is coloured green (vert) and on which is imposed a heraldic expression of the Dextera Dei or Right Hand of God from Muireadach’s Cross at Monasterboice. As on the latter, the armorial design shows the hand against a circular background or nimbus. This section of the Arms represents in particular the rural (or County Health District) part of the County. Chief Sable, two ancient ships, sails set argent The top part of the Arms is black in colour commemorating Muirthemne, the old Irish name of the sea off the County Louth Coast, and which translated into English means the “darkness of the sea”. The ships are inspired by the Coat of Arms of the Borough of Drogheda, which includes a ship anchored at a quayside. Each ship can be taken to represent respectively the Borough of Drogheda and the Urban District of Dundalk, both areas comprised within the administrative County. The ships are also representational of the fact that the County has always been a great centre of trade and commerce. The Crest The Crest incorporates a sword, the symbol of administration, surrounded by ears of barley. This design at once illustrates the nature of the Coat of Arms as a symbol of a civic administration, and the importance of agriculture in the life of the County. -

Prohibition of Depleted Uranium Weapons Bill 2009: Committee and Remaining Stages Wednesday, 17 November 2010
Prohibition of Depleted Uranium Weapons Bill 2009: Committee and Remaining Stages Wednesday, 17 November 2010 SECTION 1 An Cathaoirleach: Amendment No. 1 has been ruled out of order on the grounds that it would expand the scope of the Bill. [825]Amendment No. 1 not moved. Senator Dominic Hannigan: I move amendment No. 2: In page 3, subsection (2), line 14, after “Minister” to insert “for Foreign Affairs”. The purpose of the amendment is to insert “for Foreign Affairs” after “Minister” because there is no definition of “Minister” in the Bill. Senator Dan Boyle: I thank the Labour Party Senators for proposing this amendment. I believe it is a drafting improvement and I am quite happy to accept it. Amendment agreed to. Question proposed: “That section 1, as amended, stand part of the Bill.” Senator David Norris: I seek an explanation, although perhaps it will not be possible to provide one. Did I understand the Cathaoirleach to state amendment No. 1 was ruled out of order because it caused a charge on the Exchequer? An Cathaoirleach: No, it was ruled out of order for expanding the scope of the Bill. Senator David Norris: I see. I thank the Cathaoirleach. Question put and agreed to. SECTION 2 An Cathaoirleach: Amendment No. 3 is ruled out of order as it would expand the scope of the Bill. Amendment No. 3 not moved. Question proposed: “That section 2 stand part of the Bill.” Senator David Norris: I do not mean to be pestiferous but how can a deletion expand the scope of a Bill? Surely it would contract it. -

This year’s Conference will be the first YFG National Conference in the organisation’s 44-year history to be held online, and I also hope that it will be the last. The pandemic has forced all of us in YFG to adapt quickly and dynamically to remain relevant and on this front, I believe we have succeeded. Our policies and campaigns have focussed on advocating for sensible, practical solutions to issues relevant to young people. We have sought to modernise Young Fine Gael through the relaunch of our website, the expansion of our social media presence to new platforms and a larger audience and the launch of the YFG Women’s Network, placing a renewed focus on the importance of greater female participation in politics. For the first time in its history, YFG was forced to run the entirety of its recruitment campaign online as Ireland went into lockdown. Despite the challenges we faced, our branches across the country can take pride in the fact that together, we delivered YFG’s first year-on-year increase in membership since 2016. -

An Cathaoirleach: I have received notice from Senator Cecilia Keaveney that, on the motion for the Adjournment of the House today, she proposes to raise the following matter: The need for the Minister for Finance to ensure that monuments such as An Grianan in Burt, County Donegal have late opening hours. I have also received notice from Senator Mark Dearey of the following matter: The need for the Minister for Health and Children to comment on the ongoing staffing problems around the opening of the new emergency department in Drogheda Hospital which has no set opening date; and the need to maintain funding to the out-patient department at Louth County Hospital in Dundalk in spite of the funding cuts to accident and emergency departments recently announced. I have also received notice from Senator Ciaran Cannon of the following matter: The need for the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government to indi- cate the reason an application dated 25 September 2007 to carry out works at Lorro Gate, Athenry, County Galway has not been responded to. I regard the matters raised by Senators Keaveney and Dearey as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment and they will be taken at the conclusion of business. -
Junior Cycle Reform: Motion
Junior Cycle Reform: Motion Senator Marie-Louise O'Donnell: I move: That Seanad Éireann----- notes the proposals developed by the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment in "Towards a Framework for Junior Cycle - Innovation and Identity", and "A Framework for Junior Cycle" subsequently published by the Department of Education and Skills, and calls on the Minister for Education and Skills to give his assurance that history will be reinstated as a core subject for the Junior Certificate. I will not call for a quorum on this very important subject, although I have that right. What do we need to know? That is the real question. Does it matter that we do not have a quorum? Acting Chairman (Senator Imelda Henry): The sitting can continue without a quorum but if the Senator wishes to call one she may do so. Senator Marie-Louise O'Donnell: I think I will call a quorum, yes. Notice taken that 12 members were not present; House counted and 12 Members being present, Senator Marie-Louise O'Donnell: The real question surrounding this Private Members' motion is what do we or, in particular, what young people need to know in order to understand how the world became what we perceive it to be today. They will not learn this through technology or the "X Factor". One of the most radical and extraordinary thinkers in education was Neil Postman. He believed that for education to be meaningful, young people, their parents and teachers must have a common narrative. The question I put to those Senators who have turned up for this debate is "Do we have a common narrative?" If we do, how could the Department of Education and Skills, when the History Teachers Association disagrees so vehemently, change history from a core subject to a discrete subject in the junior cycle? There are many false gods of modern education lurking around and trying to get attention. -
