Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Review of the Capital Plan: Transport Infrastructure Ireland (22 Mar 2017)

Eamon Ryan: I thank the Chair for allowing me to come in first. I will have to leave shortly after my questions are answered. It is a pleasure to have the officials in attendance.

Mr. Nolan said that a number of roads projects are ready for tender and primed for delivery. Could he...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Review of the Capital Plan: Transport Infrastructure Ireland (22 Mar 2017)

Eamon Ryan: Has TII projected the approximate levels of expenditure on roads, public transport or both over the next five to seven years? Does it have an outline business-as-usual budget figure under the existing capital plan?

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Review of the Capital Plan: Transport Infrastructure Ireland (22 Mar 2017)

Eamon Ryan: Okay. I would like to make a broader point. When representatives of IBEC made a presentation before this committee, my heart sank from an environmental perspective because they seemed to want motorways and roads everywhere. It was clear to me when I looked at our national climate mitigation plan last week that we are doing nothing on the transport side for climate mitigation. Our...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Review of the Capital Plan: Transport Infrastructure Ireland (22 Mar 2017)

Eamon Ryan: I have a final question. It is important for us to look at what we prioritise. We cannot make such decisions until we get some of the details. I become depressed when I hear the agencies say that we do not need to look at a Luas extension to Poolbeg because that is some way off. As a representative of that area, in a city facing a housing crisis and absolute gridlock, I believe it should...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (22 Mar 2017)

Eamon Ryan: This issue needs to come back to the Dáil reform committee because it is serious. We had the same problem yesterday when the Taoiseach rightly said, when he had one and a half minutes to respond to four very detailed questions, that we have to look at the overrunning of time on a regular basis. It has been raised before. It cannot continue like this.

European Council: Statements (21 Mar 2017)

Eamon Ryan: I heard the Minister of State part answering some of the questions I raised earlier. Unfortunately, I had to leave, but, if I heard him correctly, he said a collaborative space around future deals would come after the Brexit divorce negotiations. Do we have flexibility on that given that it seems to me it is not in our interests to have that long, drawn-out, uncertain process? It is not in...

European Council: Statements (21 Mar 2017)

Eamon Ryan: I look forward to what the Minister of State might have to say in response to that issue. If we are not to have that vote - I still think we should - we need a mechanism in some of the real detailed negotiation, for example, around those less contentious energy trade deals that we might be doing. We need to involve the committees here, and involve the Dáil, because in some instances...

European Council: Statements (21 Mar 2017)

Eamon Ryan: With regard to the interchange I had with Deputy Boyd Barrett, I should explain in his absence that my interest when he brought up the issue of Ibrahim Halawa concerned the possibility of getting other parties to do something. I argue his sister party in Greece, Syriza, has a real role and we need the Greek Government to row in behind our case for European Union monitoring of Ibrahim's trial...

Eamon Ryan: What about Syriza?

European Council: Statements (21 Mar 2017)
