Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Management of Passenger Numbers at Dublin Airport: Discussion (22 Nov 2023)

Martin Kenny: If the cost of travelling increases, will the numbers settle down and will it have an impact on growth? The DAA is projecting all of these growth figures based on where we are now and on the cost of travelling today. As I said, the committee was told that the cost of aviation fuel would be ten times what it is now. Even if it only increases fivefold, it will still have a huge impact and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Management of Passenger Numbers at Dublin Airport: Discussion (22 Nov 2023)

Martin Kenny: Surely the industry has done some forecasting around this. Surely it is not just me or Mr. Jacobs hoping. Surely, studies have been done.

Policing, Protests and Public Order: Statements (28 Nov 2023)

Martin Kenny: When I was in this Chamber last Thursday, I saw on my phone that a violent incident was occurring in Dublin city centre. Within a half an hour, it was clear that a stabbing had occurred and that young children had been injured. At that stage I thought to myself, if it turns out to be a person from abroad who has carried out this attack, the far right will go on the rampage. If I could see...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Public Transport (30 Nov 2023)

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Public Transport (30 Nov 2023)

Martin Kenny: I thank the Minister. While some efforts have been made, such as operation twin track, which was the most recent iteration of what An Garda Síochána has been doing to deal with anti-social behaviour on public transport, we cannot have a piecemeal solution. Criminal and anti-social behaviour on public transport is widespread and we need to recognise that. The figures released to...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Public Transport (30 Nov 2023)

Martin Kenny: We do not differ on that. I am not talking about an alternative to An Garda Síochána. I am talking about a division of An Garda Síochána, which would act as a public transport policing service. If that were in place, not only would it be in place on the transport systems as they move, but it would also be at the pinch points, which are often at the stops, junctions, as...

Martin Kenny: Will the Minister of State provide an update on the road safety measures being considered for implementation, including the reduction in speed limits across the country, in the context of the high number of road deaths recently? I understand that, yesterday, the number stood at 171 road fatalities so far this year. It is a tragedy that we are losing so many people on our roads. In that...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh (Atógáil) - Priority Questions (Resumed): Road Safety (30 Nov 2023)

Martin Kenny: I thank the Minister of State. Regarding the speed limit reductions, when will we see the new signs being put up? It is well and good for us to talk about it, and the more conversation there is a around it, the more people are aware and it is hoped it will have an impact. The thing that will have an impact is when it is actually in place. When does the Minister of State expect local...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh (Atógáil) - Priority Questions (Resumed): Road Safety (30 Nov 2023)

Martin Kenny: Regarding the speed limit review, I know the Minister of State sought for and succeeded in having pre-legislative scrutiny set aside for it. I was opposed to this because I felt we needed to look at it in more detail. I am always conscious when we bring in laws that, if they are considered by the public to be a little bit daft or a little bit silly or a little bit too far of a reach for...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Rail Network (30 Nov 2023)

Martin Kenny: I concur with Deputy Ó Cuív about the situation on the part of the line from Collooney to Claremorris. For a long time we have sought funding to preserve that line to ensure that it is in place. I note the Minister's comments about freight and everything else. We all agree that investment in rail is an investment that requires much lower funding for a much bigger return for the...
