Maurice Quinlivan: Would anybody else like to contribute? Nobody else seems to have indicated. On the comments Mr. Drennan made on the question from Deputy O'Reilly on a previous case that collapsed, I would be interested to tease those out with him at another time. I will not do so at this committee but I refer to Mr. Drennan's response to her. On the Bill we are talking about now, I reiterate how...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (27 Jan 2021)

Maurice Quinlivan: Last week, I raised this issue with the Taoiseach and told him there would be a meeting on Friday. That meeting with the Minister, Deputy Ryan, took place and there is only one word to describe it, which is disastrous. He walked into the Moyross community and told them what was best for them and did not listen to what they said. This road is critical infrastructure for the regeneration...

Criminal Justice (Public Order) (Quadbikes and Scramblers) (Amendment) Bill 2021: First Stage (27 Jan 2021)

Maurice Quinlivan: We have spoken on this in the House on a number of occasions, including in a previous Dáil, and it is an issue that needs to be addressed. Unfortunately, it overwhelmingly affects working-class communities and that is why I believe no action has been taken on it to date. Scramblers and quad bikes are also a nuisance to local communities across the State. We have seen greenways and...

The continuation and adjustment of the Covid support scheme is vital work that we must complete and I echo the comments of my colleagues regarding the necessity of sustaining and amending it. Businesses have...

Last week at the Committee on Enterprise, Trade and Employment, members heard from Ian Drennan, director of the Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement, regarding the establishment of the new corporate enforcement agency. Our discussion at the committee...
