- Protection of Accident Victims from Non-Consensual Recording of Images Bill 2022: Second Stage [Private Members] (13 Jun 2024)
Duncan Smith: I thank the Minister of State and his officials. I certainly took those points in the manner in which they were intended, that is, constructively. I will go back and look at them all in an attempt to improve this and bring it forward to Committee Stage. This is exactly how this Parliament should work in terms of putting something forward and having a good reasoned debate and then getting...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Impact of Passenger Cap at Dublin Airport on Ryanair's Business and Operations: Ryanair (12 Jun 2024)
Duncan Smith: I thank our guests for coming in here today. I thank Mr. O'Leary for his presentation, which included details of flights being forgone - I do not want to open up the debate he had with Deputy Farrell - and tried to convey the impact of the cap. What has been frustrating for me and others is that an awful lot of the discussion about this by the DAA is quite vague. It is done on the airwaves...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Impact of Passenger Cap at Dublin Airport on Ryanair's Business and Operations: Ryanair (12 Jun 2024)
Duncan Smith: We have difficulty trying to access the noise measuring data from ANCA, where it is and so on.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Impact of Passenger Cap at Dublin Airport on Ryanair's Business and Operations: Ryanair (12 Jun 2024)
Duncan Smith: I will watch that video and I might come back to see if more details can be ascertained from it. That would be interesting. Mr. O'Leary mentioned workers living close by. The company recently purchased 25 homes in Fosterstown Place in Swords. Are they fully accommodated now?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Impact of Passenger Cap at Dublin Airport on Ryanair's Business and Operations: Ryanair (12 Jun 2024)
Duncan Smith: Is this something the company is looking to do continually?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Impact of Passenger Cap at Dublin Airport on Ryanair's Business and Operations: Ryanair (12 Jun 2024)
Duncan Smith: There is understandable frustration among young people, or people who build up their deposit. However, there is also an understanding within the town because they are all airport people. They know the pressures on accommodation there. There was a mixed response. There was understandable anger, but also an understanding that these workers who help the local communities of Swords and Fingal...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Impact of Passenger Cap at Dublin Airport on Ryanair's Business and Operations: Ryanair (12 Jun 2024)
Duncan Smith: It will say it is losing routes as well. It comes here and says it cannot get in the big planes from Ethiopia or New York and all the rest.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Impact of Passenger Cap at Dublin Airport on Ryanair's Business and Operations: Ryanair (12 Jun 2024)
Duncan Smith: The planning application, including the viewing platform referred to by Mr. O'Leary, does not include any on-the-ground noise mitigation measures, which are relatively low cost. These measures would help to improve relationships with the community in terms of the aircraft noise, which is a big part of this overall conversation. It colours everything we talk about and we cannot ignore it. I...

Duncan Smith: I thought the Leas-Chathaoirleach was going to ask if he was going to bring us to Morocco.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Impact of Passenger Cap at Dublin Airport on Ryanair's Business and Operations: Ryanair (12 Jun 2024)
Duncan Smith: I have a couple of points. It is not cycle lanes that are strangling Dublin; it is cars. As someone who famously bought a taxi licence years ago when Dublin was not as congested, Mr. O'Leary knows the congestion is caused by cars. We need better traffic management systems across public transport, private car use, cycle lanes and all the rest. However, come on, Mr. O'Leary. I checked...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Impact of Passenger Cap at Dublin Airport on Ryanair's Business and Operations: Ryanair (12 Jun 2024)
Duncan Smith: This will keep me up at night. We need a fair distribution of the ETS. It absolutely should be on the level. Will Mr. O'Leary speak for 30 seconds about sustainable aviation fuel, SAF? Where is Ryanair at with its investment in Trinity College Dublin and where is that going? I am sorry to be in such a rush.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Impact of Passenger Cap at Dublin Airport on Ryanair's Business and Operations: Ryanair (12 Jun 2024)
