- Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Estimates for Public Services 2022
Vote 31 - Transport (Supplementary) (23 Nov 2022) Kieran O'Donnell: Before we proceed, I welcome the group from Mulcair Men's Shed. It is a good group. It is the second group to have come in. Its headquarters are in Abington but it really covers all of east Limerick, right into the city. I welcome our visitors and hope they enjoy the proceedings. Many of us here, including me, Deputy Carey, Deputy Lowry and others, are from the mid-west. I will take...

- Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Estimates for Public Services 2022
Vote 31 - Transport (Supplementary) (23 Nov 2022) Kieran O'Donnell: The point I am making is that the RSA came to the Minister of State in June 2022 to say that it needed 130 driver testers. It had 100 and within that 100 were more than 30 experienced driver testers who it let go only a month or two later. It made them reapply on the open market. It is madness. Did the RSA make a request to the Minister of State's Department to keep on these 30 plus...

- Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Estimates for Public Services 2022
Vote 31 - Transport (Supplementary) (23 Nov 2022) Kieran O'Donnell: With due respect, we were not asking for these people to be given permanent posts. We were asking for them to be rehired on a contract for a specified period of time to get through the backlog. There is chaos out there at the moment. Has the RSA come back to the Minister of State seeking to rehire these 30 people? If not, that means it has had to go to the open market to hire more than 60...

Vote 31 - Transport (Supplementary) (23 Nov 2022) Kieran O'Donnell: The regional airports may be the conduit to deal with the rebalancing of passenger numbers. However, the terms of reference will be key. I ask the Minister of State to ensure that matters will not be rushed. The deadline of 31 December for a position paper is too short, given the time of year. I ask the Minister of State to extend that to 31 January. I also ask her to issue a public...
