Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate, Environment and Energy: Climate Change Targets 2026-2030: Discussion (Resumed) (1 Oct 2025)

Jennifer Whitmore: I will be quick because I have to go. This is for the Department. It is important to be able to map things. We are doing the land use planning. We are setting out all the major potential things that could impact on our environment. The Department of agriculture was recently ordered to release information to make it public that it has essentially been fighting the provision of any...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate, Environment and Energy: Climate Change Targets 2026-2030: Discussion (Resumed) (1 Oct 2025)

Jennifer Whitmore: I will make a comment. I just listened to the closing statements. Obviously, I am one of the people who comes from an environmental perspective on many of these issues, but I do not see it as an either-or. Absolutely not. There is absolutely a way that we can get a sustainable and economically viable way of farming, which is fundamentally important because farmers are business people...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Fisheries and Maritime Affairs: Island Fisheries Issues: Irish Islands Marine Resource Organisation (7 Oct 2025)

Jennifer Whitmore: I thank the witnesses. From the discussions we have had to date, it is safe to say there is a real need or want within the committee to prioritise low-impact fishers. We recognise that they are continually being squeezed into a harder and harder situation in regard to their ability to not only make money from their craft, but to undertake that craft. I am looking at some of the information...

Jennifer Whitmore: That would be great.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Fisheries and Maritime Affairs: Island Fisheries Issues: Irish Islands Marine Resource Organisation (7 Oct 2025)

Jennifer Whitmore: Another issue, one which probably plays into the marine protected areas, is the fact that the Government has never made used of Article 17 to recognise that it can allocate quotas on a prioritised basis from a cultural and heritage perspective. Should the Government do that? Given that we are very controlled by Europe in how we manage our fisheries, it seems to be a missed opportunity that...

Jennifer Whitmore: I thank the witnesses for coming in today. Mr. Creegan said in his statement that delivery times are one of the challenges for delivering on emissions. He has just stated that things have happened but there is still a lot more to be done. I would say there is a lot more to be done and it needs to be done a whole lot more quickly. London, Warsaw, Budapest, Prague, Vienna, Edinburgh,...

Jennifer Whitmore: Across Dublin?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate, Environment and Energy: Climate Change Targets 2026-2030: Discussion (Resumed) (8 Oct 2025)

Jennifer Whitmore: After that, I think Iarnród Éireann is phase 3 to be rolled out, and following that will be commuter bus services outside the Dublin area. Does Mr. Creegan have a timeline for when that will be complete?
