Peadar Tóibín: Very good agus go raibh maith ag Mr. Barry as sin. In addition, reference obviously also was made to the changes that are happening, the restructuring and so forth.

Peadar Tóibín: All right. In respect of carbon fuels and the carbon tax, the latter obviously was introduced to reduce carbon-rich fuels. Does Mr. Quinn have figures to hand on exactly how much of a reduction this has had on Bord na Móna's carbon-based products?

Peadar Tóibín: On carbon tax, I have heard anecdotally that a large number of briquettes that Bord na Móna sells into the North find their way down into the South. Does Mr. Quinn have any figures or information on that? I believe Bord na Móna puts a different colour band around the bale of briquettes.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Strategic Plan: Bord na Móna (9 Jun 2015)

Peadar Tóibín: This committee is focused on an all-Ireland economy. There is a great opportunity for the State in wind energy etc. However, one of the dangers is that community interest or co-operation can be switched off if turbines are positioned too close to domestic homes. I believe the Mount Lucas turbines are 160 m tall, among the highest in the State at the moment. Does Bord na Móna have a...

Peadar Tóibín: Coillte has launched a fantastic project called the Nephin wilderness project. Coillte will re-wild 10,000 acres over a 15-year period. It is an opportunity to promote eco-tourism. How could Bord na Móna monetise such a project? The general community would probably be able to monetise it better. Can Bord na Móna undertake a similar project given that it has 80,000 ha?

Peadar Tóibín: Tógfaidh mé 15 nóiméad nó a leithéid. Cúpla seachtain ó shin ag an gCoiste um Poist, Fiontar agus Nuálaíocht luaigh ionadaithe ón Construction Industry Federation, CIF, cúpla achrann mór a bhí ag titim amach san earnáil construction. Dúirt siad go raibh siad ag titim amach ag an móimint sin de bharr easpa...
- Central Bank (Mortgage Interest Rates) Bill 2015: Second Stage [Private Members] (10 Jun 2015)
Peadar Tóibín: Tá an Rialtas seo ag teacht chun deiridh, agus deireadh fiáin atá ann. Tá sé ag titim ó ghéarchéim go géarchéim. An fáth go bhfuil sé faoi bhrú ná nach bhfuil sé ag tabhairt airde ar chor ar bith do mhuintir na tíre. Tá teip uafásach déanta mar gheall ar fhiachas na daoine agus fiachas...
