Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Fuel Quality (4 May 2023)

Carol Nolan: It would be wrong to dismiss any potential safety issues associated with E10 fuel as being caused by a lack of maintenance. That is the wrong approach. Can this matter be looked into? If there are safety issues, it is serious. Certainly, the information I have to hand suggests the move to E10 petrol will put people's lives in danger. My correspondent who works in the motor industry tells...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Fuel Quality (4 May 2023)

Carol Nolan: I thank the Minister of State for his response. Regarding the safety issues I referred to, it has been brought to my attention that E10 petrol has a higher level of bioethanol, which is corrosive to gasket seals, metals, plastics and many other materials. If a rubber hose or seal gets damaged from using E10 fuel and it fails, spraying high-pressure petrol around the engine bay that then...

Transport Support Schemes for People with Disabilities: Motion [Private Members] (4 May 2023)

Carol Nolan: I am sharing time. I fully support the motion and, in particular, the call to introduce an integrated transport system for people with disabilities and their carers, a scheme that would ensure flexible arrangements, the provision of funding and a comprehensive transport support scheme to replace the mobility allowance and the motorised transport grant as a priority. In my constituency,...

Construction Safety Licensing Bill 2023: Second Stage (Resumed) (4 May 2023)

Carol Nolan: I welcome the debate on this Bill. It contains some practical and worthwhile changes to the current regime. The emphasis of the Bill is also a welcome leap forward in that many of its sections are pragmatic and more reflective of where people are at as regards skills and the need to maintain safety as a key component of work on a construction or quarry site. In this respect, I note...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (9 May 2023)

Carol Nolan: Writing in the Irish Mail on Sunday, John Drennan reported that only a small percentage of hotel beds currently being utilised by refugees and asylum seekers will revert to the tourism market this year.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (9 May 2023)

Carol Nolan: I thank the Taoiseach for his response. I understand and we all know there is a war, but the fact of the matter is that Ireland is an outlier in Europe in terms of the reliance on hotel, bed and breakfast and guesthouse beds. We are different. Why are we so different? Why have other countries adopted a more sensible approach and protected their local economies more than we have? That is...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (9 May 2023)

Planning and Rural Housing: Motion [Private Members] (10 May 2023)

Carol Nolan: As the saying goes, there are few certainties in life apart from death and taxes, but perhaps we could revise that and add the dysfunctional Irish planning system. For how long have we been debating this issue in these Houses? I recall standing here more than two years ago debating the Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill 2021, which was meant to address some of the very issues we are...

Agriculture and Food Supply Chain Bill 2022: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (10 May 2023)

Carol Nolan: Tugaim tacaíocht don leasú atá os ár gcomhair maidir leis an rialálaí.

Nuair atá deis ann leagan Gaeilge a úsáid ba chóir dúinn an deis sin a thapú. Tugaim mo...
