- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Engagement with the Commission for Regulation of Utilities (20 Sep 2022)
Brian Leddin: I will ask a question that is not really on the agenda but the timing of the meeting, coming the day after the energy security review was published, is excellent. Have the witnesses anything to say on it? Would they rather not say anything on the energy security review? I am sure they were consulted in the process of putting it together.

Brian Leddin: I thank Senator Higgins. That is all for today. I thank our guests today for coming in again so soon after they appeared before the committee just a few weeks ago. Hopefully it will be more than a few weeks before we have them in again. I will adjourn the meeting now until our next private session, which will be later in the week at 3:30 p.m. on Thursday, 22 September 2022.

- Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (21 Sep 2022)
Brian Leddin: Yesterday, the Government published its summary report on the sectoral emissions ceilings for the two carbon budgets that have been agreed through to 2030. It is clear we have a huge challenge ahead of us in all sectors but I want to speak about transport. The climate action plan has a transport section and there is some really good stuff in it in terms of getting more people onto public...
- Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages (21 Sep 2022)
Brian Leddin: I move amendment No. 1: In page 52, line 11, after “fixed” to insert “and mobile”. This is a straightforward amendment to make this part of the legislation less prescriptive. My suggestion is to include the words "and mobile" after "fixed", so that it captures the possibility that cameras and closed-circuit television, CCTV, can be mounted on buses, etc....
- Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages (21 Sep 2022)
Brian Leddin: I move amendment No. 2: In page 53, line 37, to delete “and refuelling infrastructure”. I will take all these together. Amendments Nos. 2 and 10 to 16, inclusive, are about clarifying the legislation around zero-emission vehicles. The existing draft goes some way to explaining what a zero-emission vehicle is, but it does not go far enough. The Minister is on the record...

Brian Leddin: Yes. My contribution captured all of them.
- Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages (21 Sep 2022)
Brian Leddin: I very much agree with Deputy McAuliffe who spoke before Deputy Nolan. The thrust of this amendment actually chimes with some of the points the Rural Independent Group was making. It is not so much that is very much in favour of electric vehicles but that it is about broadening the remit of the zero-emission-vehicle office to other forms of electric mobility. That would be positive. The...
- Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages (21 Sep 2022)
Brian Leddin: I move amendment No. 3: In page 54, line 11, after “importance” to insert the following: “and is primarily for the purposes of providing public transport or active (walking or cycling) transport infrastructure, only where the scheme or proposed road development will not contribute to carbon emissions from the transport sector and only where the scheme or proposed road...

Brian Leddin: In the first instance, I do not think it is a good practice in this House that lies are told about anybody, and lies were told.
