Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (4 Feb 2021)

Michael Fitzmaurice: At the moment, it is not possible for somebody to do a driver theory test. A mass of people are looking to get their licences. One cannot get a Safe Pass. Is there any way of trying to allow them do something online? I was talking to a guy yesterday who has been driving a car for 25 years. He has to have the trailer licence for which one has to do a theory test. The Minister for...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Role and Operation of the Health and Safety Authority: Discussion (1 May 2024)

Mr. Conor O'Brien: I can give some information on that. Dr. Duff might like to come in if I miss anything. In 2014 there were 32 people killed on the farms and last year it was 16. Over the last ten years, there have been 191 fatalities on farms. Over half of those were people more than 65 years old. People who are 65 and older are three times more likely to have a work-related...

Written Answers — Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport: Legislative Measures (12 Dec 2023)

Jack Chambers: The Road Traffic and Roads Act 2023 was recently signed into law by the President on 23 June 2023. This is a large piece of legislation which covers a multitude of topics.

Written Answers — Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport: Departmental Contracts Data (17 Dec 2014)

Paschal Donohoe: Responsibility for the tender process and subsequent roll-out, extension, maintenance and commercial elements of the Dublin and Regional City Bikes Scheme is an operational matter for the National Transport Authority, working closely with the relevant local authority. Noting the above, I have referred the Deputy’s question to the NTA for direct reply. However, I would...

Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021: From the Seanad (14 Jun 2023)

Martin Kenny: ...commend the Minister and his staff. This is extensive legislation that covers myriad issues that have been around for a long time. Some of the more modern problems we have, such as those relating to scramblers, needed to be dealt with effectively. I still have some fear about the issues relating to public space and so on but it is nonetheless a great advance on where we are. The issues...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Budget Process (25 Apr 2023)

Mr. Eugene Clonan: No. As to how I know this, my boss, Ms Deirdre O'Keeffe, was telling about it. We have the Marine Casualty Investigation Board, MCIB, report, the air accident investigation interim and preliminary reports, and now the final report. We have not been sitting on our hands. We have been working through that. There is a big reform programme going on there. With my...

Seanad: Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021: Committee Stage (1 Feb 2023)

Ollie Crowe: On that point, the issue of scrambling bikes and quads is not significant in Galway but is in Dublin. I understand from talking to my colleagues in Dublin, particularly Deputy McAuliffe, that it is a matter of gardaí having access after the event. Naturally, they would have information that an event took place, so it is a matter of them being able to search a storage area or garage. A...

Ivana Bacik: I commend all those involved in the wonderful ceremony last week, Dublin Honours Magdalenes. It was uplifting to see it after such shabby treatment of so many women for so long by the State, other institutions and, in many cases, by individual families. It was good and positive to see such a great welcome for the Magdalenes by Dublin's Lord Mayor, as well as other aspects of civic and...

Financial Resolutions 2022 - Financial Resolution No. 6: General (Resumed) (29 Sep 2022)

Brian Leddin: ...will make our society better and fair. My Green Party colleague, the Minister, Deputy O'Gorman, secured significant cuts in childcare fees. There is a 25% reduction in fees this year, moving to a 50% cut in two years. Funding for more childcare places and affordable childcare are critically important for our society, for parents, children and employers. It gives stability and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: SME Energy and Carbon Demands, Green Initiatives and Technology: Discussion (27 Sep 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank Mr. Lowe. In terms of the training and the conversations that are taking place, it strikes me that there are a number of ways to do this. Maybe there are not, however, and I am coming at this the wrong way. While one obviously has to look at the process, one also have to look at the people who are working in the companies, even in small companies. Is it part of the process to do...

Catherine Noone: I was a member of Dublin City Council when the Dublin bike scheme was introduced. We all acknowledge that it has been a huge success for the city and the city council. As previous speakers have said, the scheme should be spread throughout the country and further in Dublin. There is a significant cost attached to each station but the scheme, once in place, would greatly benefit people in...
