This was denied by the Department in the committee last week, when it said it...

Pa Daly: The Tánaiste said recently it is a real challenge to know what is going through our skies, despite all the notifications. There is clearly a draft report.

Legislative and Structural Reforms to Accelerate Housing Delivery: Motion [Private Members] (25 Jun 2025)

Pa Daly: Daft's latest report says the average rent in County Kerry is up between 13.2% and 31.7% depending on the type of property compared with this time last year. The Government should be hanging its head in shame when it comes to its handling of the housing crisis. We can go back to 2011 when the Government, in effect, stopped building social housing, through to the abolition of the town...

Committee on Climate, Environment and Energy: Carbon Budget: Climate Change Advisory Council (25 Jun 2025)

Pa Daly: The witnesses are all very welcome. I apologise but I had another thing in the Chamber so the witnesses should stop me if they think they have heard this one before. In the CCAC's recent report with the Irish Fiscal Advisory Council, it mentioned the up to €26 billion, possibly, in fines. I take it that the witnesses would probably accept that we will not meet the 2030 targets....

Committee on Climate, Environment and Energy: Carbon Budget: Climate Change Advisory Council (25 Jun 2025)

Pa Daly: On the Government proposal for the State-backed liquefied natural gas, LNG, terminal, what are the Ms Donnelly's view on that?

Pa Daly: I have a couple of final questions. They are more to do with the areas of just transition and affordability. We have had a number of difficulties with heat pumps and the move to EV cars. They are generally accepted to be out of reach to people with limited incomes. What does the council think of the schemes put in place in recent years, the lack of take-up of them and the lack of charging...

Committee on Climate, Environment and Energy: Carbon Budget: Climate Change Advisory Council (25 Jun 2025)
