Order of Business.
Wednesday, 1 December 2004
Dáil Eireann Debate
The Taoiseach: It is proposed to take No. 17, motion re proposed approval by Dáil Éireann of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act 1996, back from committee; and No. 26a, Budget Statement and financial motions by the Minister for Finance — 2004, which shall be taken on the conclusion of questions to members of the Government. It is proposed, notwithstanding anything in Standing Orders, that the Dáil shall sit later than 8.30 p.m. and the motion for the general financial resolution shall be moved not later than 12 midnight whereupon business shall be interrupted and the Dáil shall adjourn forthwith; No. 17 shall be taken immediately after the Order of Business and shall be decided without debate; following the Budget Statement of the Minister for Finance, the following arrangements shall apply to the proceedings on No. 26a: the statements of the main spokespersons for the Fine Gael Party and the Labour Party shall not exceed 45 minutes in each case, the statements of the main spokespersons [26]for the Green Party, Sinn Féin and the Independent Members of the Technical Group shall not exceed 15 minutes in each case and the statements shall be confined to the main spokespersons in each case; following the statements the sitting shall be suspended for 30 minutes; and all divisions demanded on No. 26a shall be taken manually.
Private Members' business shall be No. 39, Planning and Development (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2004 — Second Stage, resumed, to be taken at 12 noon and to conclude after 90 minutes, if not previously concluded.
An Ceann Comhairle: There are four proposals to put to the House. Is the proposal for the late sitting agreed? Agreed. Is the proposal for dealing with No. 17, motion re proposed approval by Dáil Éireann of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act 1996, without debate, agreed? Agreed. Is the proposal for dealing with No. 26a, financial motions by the Minister for Finance, agreed? Agreed. Is the proposal for dealing with all divisions demanded on No. 26a agreed? Agreed.
Mr. Kenny: I refer to two Bills, Nos. 49 and 50 on the Government's legislative progamme. The first Bill is to update and codify charities legislation. The Taoiseach stated that he will attend the UN summit next September. Legislation is proposed which governs Ireland's obligations under the nuclear test ban treaty. Given the proposals brought forward by the UN regarding its restructuring, which include a serious warning about proliferation of nuclear weapons among rogue countries and terrorists, when will the legislation in respect of our obligations be brought forward?
The Taoiseach: The charities regulation Bill is enormous. I had a briefing on it recently and there has been a four-month public consultation on the basis of a Government approved consultation paper. That was launched in February 2004. A total of 85 detailed submissions were received and an external report issued in September based on them. Legislation is in the pre-drafting stage and both the Attorney General and the Law Reform Commission are involved. The legislation is quite complex and because it covers the ancient ground of charitable bequests and standards, it involves quite tricky areas of old and new law. They are anxious to include charitable bequests in the legislation but it will take some time to sort out the legal issues. The Bill is a priority and it is hoped to make progress on it in 2005.
On the question on the test ban, the draft heads of the Bill are being prepared and the Bill is expected to come before the Government after the Christmas period. It is hoped that we will be able to move on it then.
[27]Mr. Rabbitte: I wish to ask the Taoiseach about Nos. 37 and 38 on yesterday's Order Paper concerning financial motions by the Minister for Finance for 2002 and 2003. When does the Taoiseach intend that we return to these motions? I thought the Government was trying to draw a veil over those two budgets and I am surprised it is now trying to undo the damage done by both. Is the former Deputy McCreevy coming back to handle them or will they be taken——
An Ceann Comhairle: Has the Deputy a question?
Mr. Rabbitte: I am curious to know what these motions are doing on the Order Paper. The Government has been trying to banish the memory of these two budgets. I do not understand why they are on the Order Paper, but I am sure the Taoiseach will explain the reason. When will the Bill promised me by the Taoiseach on the redrawing of constituencies come before the House?
The Taoiseach: On the first issue, the motions must be dispensed with formally. That is all that is necessary on them. I understand the Bill on the redrawing of the constituencies is ready and will be taken after Christmas.
Mr. Rabbitte: Will they be redrawn again as mentioned by some of the Taoiseach's colleagues to the media?
The Taoiseach: That would be wishful thinking by some people who do not like them.
Mr. Sargent: I am interested in the Taoiseach's lack of awareness about the natural resources of this country.
An Ceann Comhairle: Has the Deputy a question on legislation? I remind Members that they only have time to put a short question.
Mr. Sargent: It is important that the Taoiseach would partake in the debate on the energy (miscellaneous provisions) Bill. The legislation is expected soon. Will the Taoiseach organise to be in the House for it so that he can hear more about natural resources available in the country?
The Taoiseach: The energy (miscellaneous provisions) Bill is due next year. I am trying to get Deputy Sargent's support for wind energy throughout the country. If he lent his name with mine, perhaps we would be able to get on with all the objectors.
Mr. Stanton: On the Department of Transport's website there is a proposal to set up an independent public transport procurement and regulatory body. Is legislation pending on this or will it be incorporated in some other legislation?
[28]The Taoiseach: There is no promised legislation on that. The Deputy should submit a parliamentary question on the matter.
Mr. M. Higgins: Will the Taoiseach make Government time available for a discussion on the report just published on reform of the United Nations?
An Ceann Comhairle: Is a debate promised?
The Taoiseach: The Government Chief Whip has informed me that he is favourably disposed towards a debate if we can organise it. It may be after Christmas if that is agreeable.
Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: Will the Taoiseach advise us of the specific date for publication of the adoption Bill which will also see the ratification of the Hague Convention? Will the heads of the Bill be published in advance?
The Taoiseach: The adoption Bill is due next year. The feedback from the consultation process, which is now completed, is being examined by the Minister of State at the Department of Health and Children, Deputy Brian Lenihan. The heads of the Bill are expected to be completed by Christmas.
Mr. Durkan: In view of the volatility of the day that is in it, when is it proposed to introduce the gas regulation Bill? There may be cause for gas later on today.
The Taoiseach: The heads of the Bill are almost completed and it is hoped that will be done before Christmas. The legislation is due next year.
Mr. Sherlock: Given that the Health Bill 2004 will be passed by the Dáil, will the Taoiseach inform the House when the names of the executive will be given to us? We read in the newspapers that some of them are being——
An Ceann Comhairle: The Deputy should submit a question to the Tánaiste.
Mr. Sherlock: May I ask the question of the Taoiseach? When do we expect the names of the executive will be produced?
Mr. J. Higgins: With only two full weeks of business before Christmas, will the promised debate on the Goldman Sachs report on Aer Lingus and the Cabinet committee conclusions be debated before Christmas?
The Taoiseach: No, I do not think they will.
Mr. J. Higgins: When will they be debated?
The Taoiseach: Early in the new session.
[29]Mr. O'Dowd: Given that the Dáil constituency review report has been on the Taoiseach's desk gathering dust for 11 months, when will the electoral (amendment) (No. 2) Bill be published?
The Taoiseach: I have answered that. I think it has already been passed by Cabinet. If it has not been passed, it is ready and will be taken early in the new year.
Mr. Costello: The recent task force report on alcohol highlighted the high exposure of alcohol products to young people at this time of the year. Considering we have only two weeks left before the Christmas recess, will the Taoiseach inform the House whether the alcohol products (control of advertising, sponsorship and marketing practices/sales promotions) Bill will be delivered as promised by Government before the end of this year?
The Taoiseach: The heads of the Bill were approved by the Government in the summer. The drafting has continued and the Bill is due and listed for the spring session.
Mr. Sherlock: I apologise, but I must rise again. The Health Bill 2004 has been debated here and we are being told in the media of names of the executive ——
An Ceann Comhairle: That does not arise. I ask the Deputy to resume his seat as an order of the House mandates us to move to Private Members' Business at 12 o'clock and we have other business to dispose of beforehand.

Des Moines, Iowa, USA March 18, 2008 A group of some 15 chimpanzees isolated in a pocket of Rwandan rain forest will have a greater range and, thus, greater chances for survival thanks to one of Africas most ambitious forest restoration and ecological research efforts ever. Organizers of the project, named the Rwandan National Conservation Park, said today that a 30-mile (50km) tree corridor will be planted to connect the Gishwati Forest Reserve, the chimpanzees home range, to Nyungwe National Park.
The Rwandan National Conservation Park is a collaborative effort of the Rwandan government; Great Ape Trust of Iowa, a scientific research facility in Des Moines, Iowa; and Earthpark, a national environmental education center proposed for Pella, Iowa. The project in Gishwati was unveiled at the Clinton Global Initiative last fall by Rwanda President H.E. Paul Kagame and Ted Townsend, founder of Great Ape Trust and Earthpark.
This is an ambitious plan, but the Gishwati chimpanzees are on the brink of extinction. Every newly planted tree increases their chance of survival by providing additional food, shelter and security from people, said Dr. Benjamin Beck, director of conservation at Great Ape Trust. If we direct the reforestation southward, there is the additional advantage of bringing them closer to a larger, more secure population in the Nyungwe National Park in Rwanda and the Kibira National Park in Rwanda, with a combined total of about 800 chimpanzees. Once they make contact, the Gishwati chimpanzees will enjoy a wider pool of prospective mates, and thus can avoid inbreeding.
The Gishwati Forest, in Rwandas Western Province, was deforested in the 1980s by agricultural development and in the 1990s during the resettlement of people following the civil war and genocide. Human encroachment, deforestation, grazing and the introduction of small-scale farming resulted in extensive soil erosion, flooding, landslides and reduced water q

Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

The Financial Services Authority (FSA) has issued its largest ever retail fine of £10.5 million to HSBC because of inappropriate investment advice provided by one of its subsidiaries, NHFA Limited (NHFA) to elderly customers. HSBC estimates that the amount of compensation to be paid to NHFA customers will be approximately £29.3 million in addition to the fine.
Between 2005 and 2010 NHFA advised 2485 customers to invest in asset-backed investment products, typically investment bonds, to fund long-term care costs for elderly customers. The products were sold to individuals entering, or already in, long-term care and in many cases these elderly customers were reliant on the investments to pay for their care. Typically these investments are recommended for a minimum period of five years.
The advice and sales were unsuitable because in a number of cases the individual's life expectancy was below the recommended five-year investment period. As a result customers with shorter life expectancies had to make withdrawals from these investments sooner than is recommended. The combination of withdrawals and product charges led to faster reduction of capital than should have been the case if customers had received the right advice. A review by a third party of a sample of customer files found unsuitable sales had been made to 87% of customers involving these types of investments.
It was clear that HSBC's subsidiary, NHFA, had not considered the individual needs of its elderly customers and failed in many cases to recommend suitable products for their circumstances. It was also apparent that NHFA's advisers failed to consider the tax status of customers before making a recommendation.
The FSA views the failings as particularly significant because:
- NHFA's customer base was particularly vulnerable. The average customer age was almost 83 and they therefore had limited means or opportunity to make up any financial loss resulting from an unsuitable sale
- NHFA was the leading supplier in the UK of independent financial advice on long-term care products to help pay for care costs, with a market share in recent years approaching 60%
- The mis-conduct occurred over a period of five years
- A significant number of customers may have suffered financial detriment.
HSBC agreed to settle at an early stage entitling it to a 30% discount on its fine. It also demonstrated its commitment to making changes to its operations. HSBC closed NHFA to new business on 1 July 2011.
Tracey McDermott of the FSA says, "NHFA was trusted by its vulnerable and elderly customers. It breached that trust to sell them unsuitable products. This type of behaviour undermines confidence in the financial services sector. HSBC, who owned NHFA, has now recognised the issues and taken steps to do the right thing. They have been given credit for that - but for some customers it will be too late. This penalty should serve as a warning to firms that they must have the right systems and controls in place to manage and identify risks when they acquire new businesses. A failure to do so can lead not only to detriment to their customers but to significant reputational and regulatory cost."

Cyber-attacks are growing in complexity, and the rise of Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) and insider threats has made organisations and government agencies more aware of their vulnerability. A comprehensive defense requires capabilities that go far beyond the firewall to protect against attackers that have penetrated the network perimeter. While no point security solution—technology-based or otherwise—can fully protect an organisation from cyber-attacks and APTs, today's availability of cross-domain security solutions can help organisations protect themselves better than ever before.
In this roundtable discussion, participants from the National Bank of Kuwait, Accenture and CA Technologies will examine the current cyber security challenges facing organisations, including in the Middle East, and debate how the need for identity-centric security is critical today.

We know that DevOps principles and patterns have been pioneered by the "unicorns," the likes of Google, Amazon, Facebook, Netflix, Twitter and so forth, doing tens, hundreds or even thousands of deployments per day, while preserving world-class availability, reliability and security. However, unique challenges exist when DevOps transformations are undertaken in large, complex organizations.
The unique challenges include legacy applications, lack of automated testing, tightly coupled architectures, operating in regulated industries, powerful change management approval boards, security and compliance requirements, low trust bureaucratic cultures, and so on.
However, large, complex organizations are successfully transforming using DevOps, such as GE, Macy's, Ticketmaster/LiveNation, Barclay's, Nordstorm, Target, Raytheon.
In this webinar, Damon Edwards, Gary Gruver, John Willis, and Gene Kim will share their experiences and lessons learned about the unique challenges and solutions of implementing DevOps in large, complex organizations. They will also include lessons learned from the DevOps Enterprise Summit 2014 and goals for the conference this year.

The $19 billion global black market in wildlife is not only threatening the survival of elephants hunted and other endangered species. It is threatening the very stability of governments, says a just-released study (pdf) by the conservation group WWF. Rebel groups are using funds from trafficking to purchase weapons and finance civil conflicts and even terrorist cells.
John Scanlon, secretary general of Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (Cites), said that rebel groups are literally "cashing in" on world-wide demand for elephants, tigers and rhinoceros, whose body parts are in high demand in parts of Asia for use in traditional medicine. In northern Cameroon, Chad, the Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo, 450 elephants were slaughtered last year and their ivory directly used to finance arms and bribe government officials. The number of rhinos killed for their horns (worth some $600,000) has risen from about 20 a year to an expected 600 this year.
The illegal sale of animals and plants is, says the study, the fourth largest kind of illegal trading in the world, after narcotics, counterfeiting of products and currency and the trafficking of people.
The study is based on interviews with 15 government officials and seven representatives of international organizations that deal with trafficking. But two government officials objected to answer questions about government corruption and Vietnam, which has become a central market for the illicit trade in rhino horns, refused to participate.
Organized Crime Has Entered the Illegal Wildlife Trade
Even more, the WWF report suggests that "power and sophisticated crime syndicates" are behind a huge rise in the illegal wildlife trade. The internet has also played a role as it has made illegal products available to many, many more while advanced technologies (helicopters, night vision goggles, automatic weapons) has meant that animals are more at the mercy of poachers than ever. Law enforcement and other current efforts to stop trafficking is simply inadequate, as WWF president Carter Roberts says in the Guardian:
It has been a failure. We are losing these populations in front of our eyes. It is being outgunned in terms of technology. It is being outgunned in terms of resources, and it is being outgunned, worst of all, in terms of organisation.
Just on Monday, Vietnam and South African signed an agreement to curb rhino poaching. But the U.S. bears a huge responsibility to take action as it is the second largest destination for smuggled goods made from endangered wildlife. Following the recognition that organized crime and "violent rebel groups" have entered the black market in wildlife trade, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has upgraded trafficking from a conservation issue to a national security threat in November.
The WWF study makes all too clearly how political conflicts put not only citizens but a country's wildlife at risk. In a positive sign, Google has awarded WWF a $5 million grant for aerial drones to track poachers and endangered wildlife. But, as the Guardian observes, "the overwhelming takeaway from the report was the failure of political will in some countries to deal with trafficking."
How can we create not only awareness but understanding about how governments around the world are letting their natural wealth — wildlife and plants unique to their countries alone — be hunted to elimination, with terrible long-term repercussions for economic stability and, ultimately, political security?

Thank you for sharing.
Martin Luther King Jr. is quoted as saying, Never, never be afraid to do what's right, especially if the well-being of a person or animal is at stake. Society's punishments are small compared to the wounds we inflict on our soul when we look the other way.
Very sad, and all we can do is mainly petition.
The punnishments for these poachers should be so extrememly severe that it makes some of these criminals think twice about killing the elephants.
I'd like to shoot down a few poachers! This is terrible.

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Unfortunately, "organic" and "chemical-free" doesn't always cut it when it comes to cleaning supplies for the commercial kitchen. Keeping your restaurant clean is essential, both from a health inspector and customer service perspective, and using some reliable, yet safe cleaning chemicals to get the job done is pretty important. Whether it's adding a simple disinfectant to the mix or having the appropriate griddle cleaner on hand, keeping your cleaning closet equipped with a variety of cleaning chemicals can go a long way. Always be prepared for those big messes and little disasters when you've got the right chemicals at your disposal.

This aerial view shows Richland, Kansas. The town was founded, 1854, in the Monmouth Township along the Wakarusa River in Shawnee County. In the late 1960's and early 1970's, Richland was abandoned when the Army Corps of Engineers acquired land in the area for the flood plain of Clinton Lake in nearby Douglas County. Today, the only visible reminders of the town is broken pavement which once covered the town's streets.

And, the children with restricted TV and computer time lost more weight than the other children. However, the researchers found no difference between the two groups in terms of physical activity.
"Using technology to modify television viewing eliminates parental vigilance needed to enforce family rules and reduces the disciplinary action needed if a child exceeds his or her sedentary behavior limits," the authors concluded. "Perhaps most important, the device puts the choice of when to watch television in the child's control, as opposed to a rule such as 'no television time until homework is completed.'"
Dr. David Katz, director of the Yale University School of Medicine Prevention Research Center, said the study, "shows the upside to this ominous mix -- reducing screen time can help prevent childhood obesity by several mechanisms. Less screen time may be even more important to dietary pattern than to physical activity pattern. But by either means, the ends here are encouraging and highlight the importance of this strategy."
