Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Land Development Agency Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (1 Jun 2021)

Paul McAuliffe: I speak to amendments Nos. 222 and 223. I am repeating the point Deputy Higgins has made. There have been many characterisations of this legislation.

Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (27 May 2021)

Paul McAuliffe: I accept that, but there was a reduced spend and, obviously, there are structural issues. We all want to see a decarbonisation of the fleet, but there are clearly issues other than the grants which are being made available, especially to taxi drivers.

Paul McAuliffe: We will need to do more, for that very reason of reaching the targets in the climate action plan, but it points to a broader problem as well.
