Matt Carthy: I apologise in advance, but I have a meeting clash. I thank the representatives of the HPRA for being here this evening. Could our guests outline the interactions that have taken place between their organisation and the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine in respect of the implementation of the directive? Does the Health Products Regulatory Authority, HPRA, have a position on...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Increasing Wind Power on the National Grid: Discussion (27 Apr 2021)
Matt Carthy: I turn back to the North-South interconnector. As Mr. Foley and the Chair have indicated, it is a piece of infrastructure of critical importance. I have followed this since 2006, read every publication by EirGrid and engaged in numerous meetings with them. The assertion in Mr. Foley's opening statement that the engagement approach is underpinned by a real commitment to listening to all...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Increasing Wind Power on the National Grid: Discussion (27 Apr 2021)
Matt Carthy: I will be brief on this. If we accept that this is a critical piece of infrastructure, accept on the other hand that there is unprecedented opposition from landowners, communities and farmers across the length of the route and consider that EirGrid has not yet got planning permission to enter these lands, what will EirGrid do and how far is it willing to go to enter these communities against...

- Common Agricultural Policy Reform: Motion [Private Members] (22 Apr 2021)
Matt Carthy: I commend the Independent Group and Deputy Pringle on bringing this motion before the House. The specific proposal within the good agricultural and environmental condition 2, GAEC 2, framework with which this motion has an issue is one which, for the first time in the history of the Common Agricultural Policy, will differentiate agricultural land, calling into question whether carbon-rich...
- Direct Provision: Statements (22 Apr 2021)
Matt Carthy: The direct provision systems should be a source of shame to us all, particularly considering the history of people from our country seeking sanctuary from hunger and oppression in other places across the world. The direct provision system has failed utterly those who have sought asylum and also local host communities. I was struck recently in listening to recollections of those who were...

- Ceisteanna - Questions: Shared Island Unit (21 Apr 2021)
Matt Carthy: I thank the Taoiseach for the update on the activities of the shared island unit. It is important to note on the record of the House that he and his Government failed to take an opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to creating an all-Ireland civil debate by ensuring there would be a unionist voice in the Seanad, when he stitched up yet another back-room deal between his party and...

- Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (21 Apr 2021)
Matt Carthy: Can the Taoiseach inform us whether the Cabinet committee that deals with infrastructure has discussed the issue of the North-South interconnector? The decision by EirGrid to underground the Kildare and Meath high voltage power lines means that the North-South interconnector is the only project in EirGrid's GRID25 plans that it intends to pursue using overhead, pylon supported power lines. ...
