Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: BusConnects: Discussion (6 Nov 2019)

Ruth Coppinger: ...The witnesses have not listened to people say that making Blanchardstown shopping centre the hub for every bus in the area is not a good idea. It seems the witnesses are in cahoots with the centre management on this, because there is no way the centre is currently set up to cater for that in terms of getting in and out of there in the evening.

Water Services (Amendment) Bill 2016: Second Stage (Resumed) (28 Jun 2016)

Environment (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2014: Report Stage (Resumed) (2 Jul 2015)

Ruth Coppinger: When I looked at this, I tried to understand why we would be lowering a fine for breaches of waste collection legislation. Who is the Minister targeting? I assume he is not talking about large waste management companies with large contracts. I had the impression on reading it that he might be directing it at smaller-scale clothes collectors and the preponderance of unofficial collecting of...
