Joint Oireachtas Committee on Enterprise, Tourism and Employment: General Scheme of the Industrial Development (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2025: Discussion (25 Jun 2025)

Paul Gogarty: It is good to be able to broaden things away from the legislation. However, it is an opportunity to ask questions when the witnesses are here. I would like to talk a little about industrial policy. I note that the chairperson of the IDA is on the task force on infrastructure the Minister set up. A lot of that infrastructure relates to transport, the national grid and energy but crucially...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Enterprise, Tourism and Employment: General Scheme of the Industrial Development (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2025: Discussion (25 Jun 2025)

Paul Gogarty: They do want to go to Dublin. That is the challenge. Is there a way of disincentivising Dublin, as well as incentivising regions?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Enterprise, Tourism and Employment: General Scheme of the Industrial Development (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2025: Discussion (25 Jun 2025)

Paul Gogarty: Elon Musk is trying to get everyone back working in offices and there is a benefit to that but is it part of IDA policy to ensure people can work from home part of the time, both in the regions and in Dublin, to reduce the pressure on things?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Enterprise, Tourism and Employment: General Scheme of the Industrial Development (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2025: Discussion (25 Jun 2025)

Paul Gogarty: In essence, the Department is not ruling out Ireland being marketed in the future as an ideal location for data storage that will say "by the way lads, we have grants available for you to do this." I am asking a judgment-neutral question here.

Committee on European Union Affairs: Sustainable Development Goals: Discussion (25 Jun 2025)

Paul Gogarty: I thank everyone for their presentations. I have a couple of broad questions and some more specific ones. How likely are we to face the €26 billion fine by 2032? As we know, the current EU iteration has watered down the green new deal to some degree. The delay in the corporate sustainability reporting directive is weakening the nature restoration law, and the scope of the EU...

Committee on European Union Affairs: Sustainable Development Goals: Discussion (25 Jun 2025)

Paul Gogarty: If I had won that €250 million, besides a couple of housing projects, I would build that bunker on the side of a mountain very sustainable for a whole lot of extended family members and friends, but, ultimately, I am an optimist. In terms of painting the optimistic scenario for Ireland, we could be a net massive exporter to Europe of energy and we would not be importing. It would be...

Committee on European Union Affairs: Sustainable Development Goals: Discussion (25 Jun 2025)

Paul Gogarty: That is true.

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (2 Jul 2025)

Paul Gogarty: Part of Citywest Hotel is now a holding or detention centre for those awaiting deportation. Is there a coherent policy? Are those awaiting deportation at IPAS centres allowed to roam free or are they locked into hotel rooms 24 hours a day? If detainees are held pre-deportation or pending prison transfer, that means the role of the centre is not purely accommodation; it is quasi-detention....

Paul Gogarty: 205. To ask the Minister for Children, Disability and Equality the number of people under 65 who have transitioned out of nursing homes since 2021; the number in the same cohort who have entered nursing homes in that same period; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [36248/25]

Written Answers — Department of Children, Disability and Equality: Disability Services (2 Jul 2025)

Paul Gogarty: 206. To ask the Minister for Children, Disability and Equality the rationale behind cutting the budget for the enhanced quality of life scheme, which supports personal assistants and electric wheelchairs and so on, from €812,000 to €251,000 in the past year; if this reduction can be justified in the context of the Government’s stated aim to end the institutionalisation of...

[36252/25]

Committee on European Union Affairs: Danish Presidency of the Council of the European Union: Ambassador of Denmark to Ireland (2 Jul 2025)

Paul Gogarty: I thank the ambassador for his presentation and answers so far. I am curious about this and want to get the wider context. Denmark has shown great leadership on green issues, as the ambassador mentioned. Trying to get the EU to move as a block is very slow and quite difficult. I am trying to get my head around the issue of the genocide, as we call it, in Gaza. Denmark was invaded by the...

Committee on European Union Affairs: Danish Presidency of the Council of the European Union: Ambassador of Denmark to Ireland (2 Jul 2025)

Paul Gogarty: I would like nothing more than the Irish ambassador to Denmark to be absolutely grilled on the nitrates directive when it is our turn. Given the size of the CAP funding that is supporting farmers, does Mr. Thuesen think it could be reoriented, wholly or in part, for more environmental sustainability initiatives, which farmers would be leading the way on, in many cases?

Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill 2025: Second Stage (8 Jul 2025)

Paul Gogarty: We have an amendment of a Bill to legislation that has not been enacted. Looking at it, at face value one has to welcome it. Regarding the retrospective suspension of planning permission duration during judicial review, insofar as there are delays caused by judicial reviews, I take this point. However, as others have said, judicial reviews are not the main issue, which I will go into in a...

Student Fees: Motion [Private Members] (8 Jul 2025)

Paul Gogarty: Ba mhaith liom seans cúpla focal a rá anocht. I was in the Green Party back in 2009 when everything was cut to shreds. Back then I fought a little bit of a rearguard battle with some of my colleagues to get education cuts reversed and to stop registration fees being increased. That was when stuff was quite expensive. The cost of living rose post Covid and the registration fees...
