Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (9 May 2018)

Eamon Ryan: I did not know, until I heard the leader of Fianna Fáil make the point, that there had not been communication between the Taoiseach and the British Prime Minister for six weeks. That is remarkable. At the same time the Taoiseach was visiting communities in the North, and I welcome the details of the visit, the Oireachtas had its session in Dundalk with Michel Barnier.

Questions on Promised Legislation (9 May 2018)

Eamon Ryan: Like earlier speakers, I welcome the decision by Google and Facebook to restrict advertising. Each company is doing it a different way and, as the Taoiseach stated earlier, while it is too late, it is still welcome that it is being done. It is clear these companies are making these decisions because there is a legislative gap in that our electoral Acts do not set out in clear terms what the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Waste Charges: Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment (8 May 2018)

Eamon Ryan: What is the intent in publishing the findings of the price monitoring group? I ask that on the basis that on my road we only have one collector, Panda. There is not a choice. Even if there was, it does not seem that it would make any sense to have two bin lorries going down the one street due to the inefficiencies involved. What is the point of monitoring? What powers has the Department...

Select Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Heritage Bill 2016: Committee Stage (Resumed) (8 May 2018)

Eamon Ryan: I wish to say to the Minister that we do not need to engage in political insults here as we debate. I do not believe that I have said at any stage that farmers were not custodians of nature, which she has cited to me as a quote. I do not think it makes her argument to play party politics. We are here to tease out the details of the legislation and I argue that political insults will not...

Select Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Heritage Bill 2016: Committee Stage (Resumed) (8 May 2018)

Eamon Ryan: It is important that we tease out some points. Would the Minister agree that rather than legislating and then having public consultation and research, we could start by conducting detailed research on when exactly is the nesting season for Irish birds within hedgerows? My understanding is there is good data for the UK but the Irish environment is, by nature, different. We do not have much...
