Mairéad Farrell: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire agus fáiltím roimhe chuig an gcoiste. Being from the west, I understand the very positive nature of this.

The Minister might outline the direct...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Key Issues in Higher and Further Education: Discussion (21 Jun 2023)

On the below-market rents, how much of a percentage is that and is it based on how much this is or is it an...

Mairéad Farrell: Gabhaim buíochas leis an gCathaoirleach agus lenár n-aíonna as teacht os comhair an choiste. Tá go leor de na ceisteanna curtha cheana féin. Iarraim faoi rud amháin mar ní raibh a fhios agam go dtí cúpla mí ó shin faoi na hionaid fuíolluisce, na cinn atá faoi Uisce Éireann agus na cinn nua nach bhfuil. Is dócha go...

Mairéad Farrell: An bhfuil a fhios ag an Dr. O'Reilly cúis an chinnidh sin? Níl luíonn sé le ciall ar bith liom ach b'fhéidir go raibh cineál éigin cúise faoinár socraíodh é sin a dhéanamh. Má tá Uisce Éireann ann, ní thuigim an chúis nach mbeadh cinn nua faoi Uisce Éireann.

Mairéad Farrell: Tá sé sin suimiúil agus tá a fhios agam go bhfuil deacrachtaí ar leith mar gheall gur oileán amach ón gcósta é. Baineann an dara ceist atá agam leis na deacrachtaí atá ar Inis Oírr thar oíche mar nach bhfuil daoine in ann uisce a úsáid, agus mar sin de. Tá a fhios againn gach uile bhliain go dtiocfaidh na...

Ar bhreathnaigh Uisce Éireann riamh ar thíortha eile a bhfuil na deacrachtaí céanna acu agus...
