Housing Solutions: Statements (5 Dec 2019)

Alan Farrell: It was unfortunate that Deputy Thomas Byrne was not informed that there were speakers listed to make contributions this afternoon. This is a debate on housing solutions. It is important to say that the Government does not have a monopoly on good ideas in relation to housing. We do not claim to have the monopoly on good ideas in relation to housing. Indeed, it certainly is not an...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (10 Dec 2019)

Alan Farrell: Last week, Members started to debate statements on Scouting Ireland but the debate was not concluded. I find it unusual that the debate did not flow into the following week, given there are new subjects for statements. Deputy Rabbitte was in possession and three or four Members, myself included, wanted to make a contribution on it. I suspect the matter could be concluded in well under an...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Future Funding of Public Service Broadcasting: Discussion (10 Dec 2019)

Alan Farrell: I thank the witnesses for coming in. I ask Ms Forbes if RTÉ has commissioned a study of the landbank in Dublin 4 in relation to the potential to dispose of it, relocate, and the cost associated with that. This is in the context of RTÉ having already disposed of part of the land, so clearly it was thinking about it. We have been talking about decentralisation and my colleague,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Future Funding of Public Service Broadcasting: Discussion (10 Dec 2019)

Alan Farrell: Perhaps another day we could drill into what constitutes complex land in Dublin 4. I am asking about the cost of relocating versus retaining a multi-million euro Dublin 4 site that Ms Forbes inherited. I understand this is not of her doing. Would Ms Forbes accept that a site anywhere else would be more advantageous in terms of the cost? If RTÉ were to dispose of Dublin 4, it would...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Future Funding of Public Service Broadcasting: Discussion (10 Dec 2019)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Future Funding of Public Service Broadcasting: Discussion (10 Dec 2019)

Alan Farrell: In terms of the cost base of the total revenue streams and the future of RTÉ, it is very clear that something has to change radically, and it is going to change very quickly. There is an opportunity with what has been set out by Government in terms of realising savings and-or improving the model. What I would like to know, as somebody who is hugely supportive of what RTÉ does,...

Ábhair Shaincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Matters (11 Dec 2019)

Pre-European Council Meeting: Statements (11 Dec 2019)

Alan Farrell: The Minister of State has five minutes to conclude. It is scant time to address all of the issues raised but that, as I am sure the Deputies will understand, is a matter for the Business Committee.

Scouting Ireland: Statements (Resumed) (11 Dec 2019)

Alan Farrell: I thank the Business Committee for agreeing to schedule the resumption of this debate. The issues arising from the scouting movement are emblematic of Irish society's failure of our children in the distant and not so distant past. Similar issues in many sectors of society have too often come to light. The victims in each case have real experiences and have had to suffer in silence for...
