Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Recycling Policy (20 Sep 2022)

Matt Carthy: I welcome the recent visit by the Minister of State to Shabra plastics facility in my own constituency. Regardless of the constituency it is in, I am sure from his engagement as local Oireachtas Members will have heard that he is bound to have been astounded by the facts as they are. A company that is in Ireland has to import PET plastics in order to remain viable, while Irish waste...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Recycling Policy (20 Sep 2022)

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: North-South Interconnector (20 Sep 2022)

Matt Carthy: I was at the ploughing championships today and the Minister's name came up quite an amount. I am not one for personalised attacks but he has become the figurehead for the perception that the Government does not listen to communities. The North-South interconnector is a good example of this. Communities have been very clear, as have we in the Opposition, that we understand the rationale for...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: North-South Interconnector (20 Sep 2022)

Matt Carthy: I am sure the Minister's colleague in the North will be delighted to hear an interconnector is some clandestine mechanism to deliver Irish unity. To be quite clear, absolutely Sinn Féin wants to see an all-island integrated electricity network. That is why we want to pursue this infrastructure in a way that will have community support precisely so that we can deliver this...
