Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Defence Forces (10 Mar 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I thank the Acting Chairman for facilitating me. The timeframe for the consideration of the development of the radar surveillance capability that we are lacking became evident when we had the threat of manoeuvres by the Russian military. There has been much conversation on the criminal invasion of Ukraine by the Russians and the particular circumstances we are in. I mention the capacity...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Defence Forces (10 Mar 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire and I welcome the answer. There will be general agreement on the necessity involved in this. When I spoke of the Russian manoeuvres I did so from the point of view that it highlighted the issue in the public domain; I get that they told us about them beforehand. Following that we had the Irish Aviation Authority before the Joint Committee on Transport and...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Defence Forces (10 Mar 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I will allow the Minister to expand on that. The only question I have is on the wider issue of cyber-meets-hybrid and the new world in which we are living and the new threat we are facing. I accept that he cannot go into absolute detail on it, but will he give whatever information he can about the preparations being carried out? Deputies Brady and O'Rourke and I went to a conference about...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (10 Mar 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I again want to bring up the issue of Carlinn Hall, which is a communal district heating system. It was meant to be biofuel but, unfortunately, has ended up being gas. Domestic users are supplied by Frontline Energy, which is supplied as a corporate entity from Energia and is, therefore, charged at corporate rates. There is no protection for these domestic users. It is an utterly...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021: Discussion (2 Mar 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I thank all the witnesses. They have managed to get through a significant number of the questions. They spoke about geofencing and technology fixes. Thinking of some of the roads in Irish towns, we have an imperfect system as it is. When I visited Strasbourg some time ago, it was necessary to be watchful of getting run over by a bicycle or e-scooter but there was a significant amount of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021: Discussion (2 Mar 2022)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021: Discussion (2 Mar 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I am broadly aligned with everybody else. I would suggest that there should be an upper limit on speed of 25 km/h per hour. That can be changed at a local level as per city and the operators’ requirements, particularly over time. Maybe it could be started in the city at a lower speed, as people are getting used to it, and then it can be increased. The point that has been mentioned...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021: Discussion (2 Mar 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I apologise if I repeat anything. I was in and out of the meeting. I imagine that a lot has been dealt with. There is a difficulty with personal versus the shared schemes. Witnesses are talking about reduced speed in certain areas. Are they talking about that being enforced by geo-fencing? I keep using the example of my son who bought one of these. Obviously, he does not have that...
