Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Carbon Budgets and Climate Action Plan: Engagement with Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications (16 Nov 2021)

Pauline O'Reilly: I thank the Minister for coming in. There is much we could speak about but I will keep to the agenda item which is the climate action plan. The plan is so large, but there are two main areas I will concentrate on. One is offshore renewables, because the target of 5 GW by 2030 is very ambitious to say the least. It is very welcome and has been mentioned up to this point and before the...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (17 Nov 2021)

Pauline O'Reilly: I will talk about transport today. We have very welcome news that there will be a 90-minute fare for Dublin.

We would certainly welcome it in Galway. It costs €6 each way to travel between Galway and...

Not us, because we are not making the decision. Could it be made after we have done this work and seen what the NCCA comes up with as a whole on leaving certificate reform or even a citizens' assembly? Even Dr. Hyland's suggestions and...

Pauline O'Reilly: I am skipping other Senators' speaking slots because I am stepping in for the Cathaoirleach, who has to leave presently.

Seanad: Report on Victim’s Testimony in cases of rape and sexual assault: Motion (17 Nov 2021)

Pauline O'Reilly: I thank Senator Hoey and acknowledge the deeply personal nature of her story. I offer my support to the Senator, and I am sure the same will be said for all of our colleagues here.

It is important to...
