Leaders' Questions (3 Feb 2010)

Brian Cowen: Regaining our competitive edge is essential to protect jobs and to grow jobs in the future. Driving forward with enterprise, exports and employment is the only way forward, but the stabilisation of the public finances is an absolute prerequisite for that. This country is doing that. It is being referred to both at home and abroad as the right way forward to deal with the situation we are...

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Non-Covid Healthcare Disruption: Waiting Lists and Screening (Resumed) (17 Jul 2020)

Mr. John Horan: I can take that particular question. That is very much what happens. This is very much a two-way street. As with other sections in the health service, we now realise that we are going to have to find new and more innovative ways of working. We are going to have to find ways to support patients in this new, changed environment. They include measures such as virtual...

Public Accounts Committee: Bogus Self-Employment: Discussion (30 Mar 2021)

Colm Burke: I fully accept that one cannot take a class action. I gave the example of the leaving certificate grading system where quite a number of people issued High Court writs but only one case went forward. In the scenario that Mr. McMahon is talking about, there is nothing preventing a group from issuing individual High Court appeals itself and for one person to then go forward to court with the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Sustainability Impact Assessment: Discussion (25 Oct 2022)

Tim Lombard: ...the tie-up scheme, it has been quite successful and the feedback in my part of the world has been positive. The extension into a second month was welcomed. What are the plans for that scheme going forward? It has been an important part of the industry for the past eight or nine months. The Minister mentioned the fuel issue and how he intervened in the second month in that regard. The...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Housing Policy (25 Jan 2022)

Eoin Ó Broin: I understand the theory. The problem is that it is going to run into some significant problems in practice, particularly when we look at the pipeline. As the Minister is aware, 2020 is the last year for which we have figures, and half of all new-build social homes were turnkey units delivered by local authorities and approved housing bodies. The other half was partly Part Vs and partly...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (27 Mar 2019)

Thomas Pringle: I thank the Taoiseach for his response. I hope this Government will not let the young people down and that we will not look back on the Taoiseach's contribution today and ask where was the inspiration and encouragement. We need to get beyond that now. It is one thing for the Taoiseach to say he is inspired and encouraged by what the young people are saying but when will we actually do...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Rising Cost of Tourist Accommodation: Discussion (Resumed) (7 Dec 2022)

..., so it may just be where the Deputy is seeing the ads. There is also a "Keep Discovering Mayo" ad. We have a significant amount of content for every part of the country and we use it. As we go forward in this year, we are going to be particularly agile around reviewing where there is capacity and where there is good value and putting our marketing support into those areas. We will be...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (Resumed) (4 Oct 2018)

Alan Kelly: ...regard to the Office of Public Works, OPW, from a former valuer who worked in the OPW. As I said in private session, I have spoken and met with the individual. I believe the issues he has brought forward in this letter are very serious. We are meeting with the OPW next week and can go through the different issues, particularly those highlighted by the Comptroller and Auditor General....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Basic Payment Scheme and GLAS: Discussion (14 Apr 2015)

...: On Deputy Fitzmaurice's point about meeting with the NPWS, we have had informal discussions with the NPWS. There is no doubt there seems to be, within the NPWS, many questions about what is going on at the minute. We have requested a formal meeting with the Minister, Deputy Humphreys, on this issue, which we anticipate happening soon. It absolutely needs to happen immediately as far...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Compliance with the Nitrates Directive and Implications for Ireland: Discussion (Resumed) (20 Mar 2024)

...June. The EPA, in doing the report, included the red map to answer the four criteria for which the Commission asked. On page 21 of the report, there was a targeted measures map that the EPA put forward. That was a risk-based and evidence-based approach. Going forward, if the Commission is willing to listen and negotiate, those would be the criteria put forward.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Rural Regeneration and Development Fund (17 Dec 2020)

Heather Humphreys: I look forward to going back to County Cork at some stage. I would love to go back to see how they are getting on with that Banteer project. It was quite an amazing project they put forward. They had wonderful plans for the area and I had a lovely day there. As I said, the Charleville project mentioned by the Deputy will be assessed by an independent panel of experts. I have no doubt...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Energy Efficient Housing: Discussion (15 May 2019)

Jennifer Murnane O'Connor: I thank Mr. Kenny. That is huge. It is up to us as a Government to make sure we change legislation, and we need to do that going forward. We need to raise awareness, because it all boils down to awareness and people not having proper information. That is something all of us here need to target going forward, whether in the Joint Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Standard Instrument Departures at Dublin Airport: Irish Aviation Authority (17 May 2023)

Duncan Smith: It is not like they are going to airline A, airline B and airline C, asking what they want to see in this SID. It has been put forward to us is that airlines wanted to be able to diverge early and quickly, particularly if they are going back to Europe, because they would have fuel saving and punctuality bonuses. That has been put forward to us as a reason for this, so I am trying to find...

Seanad: Services for People with Disabilities: Motion (25 Jan 2012)

Mary Ann O'Brien: I apologise for my appalling manners. I was so nervous earlier that I forgot to welcome our guests. I thank them for coming and listening to us for hours and hours as we debate passionately on this subject. Unfortunately, I do not know the Minister of State well. I thought I was passionate about this but the Minister of State is so inspirational. I am so excited and I really feel we have...

Seanad: Order of Business (24 Jun 2008) See 1 other result from this debate

Brian Ó Domhnaill: It might achieve the effect that some may desire, namely, the recession going back to 1983. However, I do not want to go back to 1983. I want to go forward and I take it everybody on the Government side of the House wants to do the same thing.

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Engagement with Coimisiún na Meán on the 2023 Work Programme (27 Sep 2023)

Micheál Carrigy: I will come back in on what I spoke about earlier. Ms Hodnett in particular spoke about consultation and looking for consultation on what would happen going forward. I ask that the report put forward by this committee after probably nine months of prelegislative scrutiny on the Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill would be taken into account. I feel strongly about the age thing. As a...

Other Questions: Schools Building Projects (14 Oct 2020)

Norma Foley: ...she has given. I must say that the Department, in looking at all the available options, is satisfied that sufficient places are available for all post-primary pupils in the school planning area, going forward. However, I will say to the Deputy that the planning and building unit of the Department is currently reviewing all 314 school planning areas to ensure that all pupils will have...

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Legislative Framework Underpinning the State's Response (9 Sep 2020)

.... We did have trial court hearings during the summer. Ms McNamara referenced the difficulties in terms of the infrastructure and the capacity of the courts. If we are to ensure access to justice going forward we will have to adopt a model of remote hearings. Currently, there are remote hearings for some call-overs of court lists. There are some matters that can certainly be dealt with...

Seanad: European Communities (Amendment) Bill, 2002: Second Stage. (20 Nov 2002) See 2 other results from this debate

I have given the Minster a few thoughts and I look forward to working with him in all the areas I have mentioned. This is the launching pad for the ratification of the treaty. We can now go forward in Europe with a broad brief as to its future and how we can be part of it while retaining our identity. Today we are taking steps to put this in motion. I look forward to the discussion continuing...

Leaders’ Questions (16 Apr 2013)

Mary Lou McDonald: The Taoiseach is not going to call the Minister to account and is not going to straighten this out. He talks about the independence of the Judiciary and in that context, I have a suggestion to make to him. My party colleague, Deputy Pádraig Mac Lochlainn, brought forward legislation to end the system of political appointments to the Bench. We should have an independent process to...
