Seanad: Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages (16 Nov 2021)

Lynn Boylan: I take umbrage at the fact that the Law Reform Commission of Ireland was the only stakeholder consulted. We consulted Coastwatch Ireland, which pointed out that the people who are harvesting seaweed, mussels, kelp, sea vegetables and periwinkles by hand have not been consulted on this legislation. They will be directly impacted by it and want their concerns about the dismantling of the...

Seanad: Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages (16 Nov 2021)

Lynn Boylan: Our concern relates to the repeal of the prescription period of 12 years given to users against private owners of land in seeking to retain the prescriptive period of 30 years and 60 years for foreshore. Again, our concerns and the reasons we are flagging this is that we do not believe there has been proper consultation with the people who will be directly impacted by this. I ask the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Carbon Budgets and Climate Action Plan: Engagement with Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications (16 Nov 2021)

Lynn Boylan: I appreciate the Chairman bringing me in as well. I am having Internet issues as well so if I go, it is the likely cause. On the back of the Conference of Parties, COP, I welcome the Minister signing Ireland to the Beyond Oil and Gas Alliance, as it is a really important step for the country to take. There is the question of how that follows through in implementation at home and the move...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Carbon Budgets and Climate Action Plan: Engagement with Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications (16 Nov 2021)

Lynn Boylan: Is the Minister saying that he has to make a case at Cabinet to convince his colleagues it does not increase security?

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (23 Nov 2021)

Lynn Boylan: I want to raise the launch of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul Impossible Choices appeal because we are in no doubt now that winter has finally arrived in Ireland with freezing temperatures being felt throughout the country. This is at a time when inflation and rents are rising and energy costs are skyrocketing. In its report released today the Society of St. Vincent de Paul said it is...

Lynn Boylan: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit. Today I am particularly interested in hearing the Minister of State's response to the plans for the offshore community benefit fund. The terms and conditions for the first offshore renewable energy support scheme, RESS, are out for consultation, but I would like to tease out how the scheme will be administered. While the consultation is ongoing,...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Renewable Energy Generation (24 Nov 2021)

Lynn Boylan: I welcome the Minister of State's provision of some clarity on these questions. I still encourage that the decision concerning a nationally administered fund be kept open. It is, once again, being said that the decision-making will come from the community, but the best model of community involvement is the one led by the community for the community. There is a job creation opportunity here...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (24 Nov 2021)

Lynn Boylan: I agree with Senator O'Reilly that this legislation is the most disingenuous I have seen produced and it is not compatible with EU law. It will not get past the Attorney General. I want to offer solidarity to students throughout the country who are staging three days of protests as part of their Cost of College campaign. Students are being squeezed at every point due to the lack of...

Seanad: Companies (Emission Reporting) Bill 2021: Second Stage (24 Nov 2021)

Lynn Boylan: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit. I too welcome the Bill and commend the Senators in the Civil Engagement Group, Senators Ruane and Higgins, on their work on it. Many of us who campaign on climate issues have seen that the focus on individual actions is far too strong on encouraging the use of keep cups and other tiny efforts. The hypocrisy of that approach is made clear by the...
