Seanad: Planning and Development (Solar Panels for Public Buildings, Schools, Homes and Other Premises) (Amendment) Bill 2021: Second Stage (28 Jun 2021)

Pauline O'Reilly: I move: "That the Bill be now read a Second Time." I welcome the Minister of State. Contrary to what we tell ourselves, we have sun in this country but we do not have enough solar panels to use that sun. Think of all the roofs and buildings that could convert the natural energy of the sun into electricity, yet only a handful do. Of all the roofs throughout the country, surely those on...

Seanad: Planning and Development (Solar Panels for Public Buildings, Schools, Homes and Other Premises) (Amendment) Bill 2021: Second Stage (28 Jun 2021)

Pauline O'Reilly: I thank the Minister of State very much. It is quite an historic day. When I rang around all of the different groups, including the Civil Engagement Group which cannot be here today, they were all supportive of the Bill. This can be contrasted with some of the behaviour in the Dáil, which is not quite the same when it comes to climate change. It is really important that we put that...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Rail Network (29 Jun 2021)

Pauline O'Reilly: Senator Chambers has been unavoidably detained, so I will be taking the Commencement matter on behalf of both of us. Senator Chambers and I raised this issue on the Order of Business and the Leader suggested that we jointly raise a Commencement matter. I am representing both of us. I know the issue is one Senator Chambers feels passionately about for her own county of Mayo. For me, it is...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Rail Network (29 Jun 2021)

Pauline O'Reilly: I thank the Minister of State for his response. The main issue I have with the EY report, which he has outlined in part, is on what premise it looked at the western rail corridor. Fundamentally, public transport is about a public good, and that is what the reopening of the western rail corridor and the advancement of phases two and three are about. This is about a public good, a social...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (29 Jun 2021)

Pauline O'Reilly: Last Monday the Minister for Health said restrictions on visits by partners to maternity units had been lifted and that all maternity units would be following the same guidelines. Last Wednesday, the Joint Committee on Health was told by the HSE chief executive, Mr. Paul Reid, that the HSE could not direct individual hospitals on restriction and guidelines because that was a matter for local...

Pauline O'Reilly: I thank Deputy Bruton and the Chairman. I also thank the witnesses because this discussion has been really useful. I am thinking about the conversation overall, which dealt with many topics. There is the importance of a skilled labour force, adding value and some of the projects, such as the BRIDE project. It relates to intensive farming but there are some organic farms in Galway, which...

Seanad: National Maternity Hospital: Statements (2 Jul 2021)

Pauline O'Reilly: I welcome the Minister of State to the House, although she is no stranger to the convention centre. This boils down to a stranglehold the Catholic Church has had on Irish society. It is important to point out those who have been heckling others today, defending the Catholic Church and saying the Catholic Church has a right to be involved in healthcare are anti-choice. That is the concern...
