Ciarán Cannon: This is a most welcome scheme. It is the first time ever that we have had a dedicated national scheme focusing solely on community centres throughout rural Ireland. I live in a small, rural village, Carrabane, in east Galway and when I look at my own community centre it is the very epicentre of life in that community right from the beginning of life through to the end of life. It starts...

Ciarán Cannon: I thank TII for this very informative report. I would really like to see TII doing more work of this nature so we can make really well-informed decisions as to how we could have a more sustainable and safer road network in the future. I thank TII for doing this really important work. I have some quick questions and observations. The report makes the case that by reducing speed limit...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Bus Coach Sector: Discussion (19 Oct 2022)

Ciarán Cannon: If I can stretch my time just a little please, I have one final question that is not wholly unrelated. Many of us in the Houses have experience of travelling throughout Europe. It always astounds me when travelling to countries such as Germany, France and the Netherlands that an awful lot more work is under way, or has been carried out, on traffic-calming at the entrances to regional towns...

Select Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2022: Committee Stage (25 Oct 2022)

Ciarán Cannon: I thank the Minister for her observations. It is great to hear a Minister who is very much aware of the power and value of local radio.

Many of us in this room have cited those occasions on which local radio becomes vital in terms of...

However, the Minister made a very valid point about passing legislation that dictates to an editor responsible for a particular element of output that he or she must draw a...
