Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Climate Change Policy (14 May 2024) See 8 other results from this debate

Ossian Smyth: We spent most of our time talking about the climate action plan, the ways to reduce emissions and prevent the worst effects of climate change from happening, and the adaptation plans are what is done when it does happen, and when flooding occurs, how we build the infrastructure to prevent it from happening. There are many questions in this House on flooding. They are answered by the...

Ruairi Ó Murchú: A lot of us learned, if we had not already understood, the dangers of cybercrime with the HSE attack. We all get scams through mobile phones, whether number generation and a call from Revolut or text messages that plague us every day. It is an issue. It impacts everybody. So many are sent that, unfortunately, even if a small percentage are executed, it will impact a huge number of people...

Pádraig O'Sullivan: I again mention following up with the local authorities. The only concern I had listening to Ciaran Foley this morning was when he was asked about the accessibility of some of the machines for people who have issues. They might not be very mobile or able to reach the machine, depending on the type. He said some machines were capable of tending to the needs of people in wheelchairs, for...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: North-South Interconnector (14 May 2024) See 16 other results from this debate

Ossian Smyth: I am glad that the Deputy agrees with his colleague, Conor Murphy MLA, that there are great benefits to this project. I absolutely agree that there has to be good engagement with landowners. EirGrid manages the national electricity grid. It recently issued letters to about 400 landowners on the route of the planned North-South interconnector. The letters outline the infrastructure...

Darren O'Rourke: The Minister of State is familiar with the EnergyCloud model, and the Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan, has said positive and encouraging things about it. The Minister of State spoke of “dispatch down”. He is the Minister of State with responsibility for the circular economy, and it is a waste of energy. Poor people’s hot tanks are there, waiting to be charged and store...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Electricity Generation (14 May 2024) See 7 other results from this debate

Ossian Smyth: I think the first part of the question was about delivery. It was about how much the Government has installed of new capacity. We have seen more than 2 GW of capacity installed over the course of the past four years. The fact there is now 1 GW of solar on the grid is incredible. I expect another 1.5 GW will be added this year and another 1.5 GW next year. Looking towards an 8 GW target...

Darren O'Rourke: The first part of my question was straightforward but I do not think the Minister of State answered it in his response. To reiterate, there is a 2030 target of 400,000 heat pumps. To date, how many of those pumps have been installed? By my estimation, on the figures I have received, it is in the region of 10,000, or 2.5% of the total. The Government is behind its own targets by 30%, which...

Dublin and Monaghan Bombings: Motion [Private Members] (14 May 2024) See 35 other results from this debate

Matt Carthy: There are not too many issues that would secure all-party support for a motion on four occasions, namely those tabled in 2008, 2011, 2016 and today. Some might say it is surprising that there has been a need to bring virtually the same motion before the House on four separate occasions. The most surprising aspect is that it took 34 years for the first motion to be tabled. That is telling....

Mick Barry: I congratulate the students at Trinity College who have forced their college to begin divesting from Israel. They have achieved more from their actions than has been achieved by the Government. I note that students at UCD have followed their example. I also congratulate the dozens of staff and students at UCC who have now formed the UCC BDS to organise action with the aim of forcing UCC...

Mick Barry: I understand that the special European Council had some discussion on economic matters, including the position of small business and supports for small business. I also understand that the Taoiseach is bringing forward a package tomorrow. There are a few points I wish to make about that. I will start by saying hands off the minimum wage and hands off workers' sick leave. I am open to the...
