Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Youth Perspectives on Climate Challenges: Discussion with Foróige and Comhairle na nÓg (3 Jun 2022)

Alan Farrell: For the benefit of our guests today, in committee we sit, but in the Chambers we stand. As this is a committee in a chamber, it is confusing. I will follow my colleague's lead and I will sit. Good afternoon to all of you. I extend particular thanks to An Cathaoirleach for the generous use of his Chamber. My colleagues in Fine Gael and Senator McGahon are here. Deputy Bruton...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Youth Perspectives on Climate Challenges: Discussion with Foróige and Comhairle na nÓg (3 Jun 2022)

Alan Farrell: That is true. I suspect I have just ruled out transfers from any of the Senators present. This is an important opportunity for our guests.

I see business leaders, politicians and influencers, in the non-social media sense, sitting before me and they should be proud of that. I referred to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Biodiversity: Engagement with Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (14 Jun 2022)

Alan Farrell: I thank Dr. Lynn for her opening statement. I return to a very worthy point raised by Deputy O'Rourke about river basin management. Dr. Lynn has responsibility for a section within the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage. Resourcing of our local authorities in the context of river basin management is major concern. This goes beyond the point Deputy O'Rourke made regarding...

Alan Farrell: Questions Nos. 99, 101, 104, 107 and 114 are related and will be taken together. I am informed there is an error in the list in front of me and I must ask the House if Deputy Murnane O'Connor will be allowed to contribute to the discussion on this group as a questioner as opposed to a supplementary questioner. Is that agreed? Agreed. I understand Deputy Ó Cuív is substituting...

Alan Farrell: Twelve months ago this week, the Minister, Deputy McEntee, published the public consultation process for the domestic, sexual and gender-based violence policy of the State.

EirGrid, Electricity and Turf (Amendment) Bill 2022: Second Stage (28 Jun 2022)

Alan Farrell: I welcome the opportunity to contribute to the debate. The energy sector underpins much of the nation's affairs. The effects of price fluctuations in the energy market have knock-on effects for almost every aspect of the economy and can make a real impact on the lives of consumers and their daily decisions. The invasion of Ukraine has appalled the moral and civilised world. The loss of...

EirGrid, Electricity and Turf (Amendment) Bill 2022: Second Stage (28 Jun 2022)

Alan Farrell: That legislation is being put through the House right now. Some of the Deputies opposite serve on a committee of which I, too, am a member. They suggested we enter pre-legislative scrutiny.

EirGrid, Electricity and Turf (Amendment) Bill 2022: Second Stage (28 Jun 2022)

Alan Farrell: Not only must we remain vigilant to the nonsense the Members opposite go on with, we also must remain vigilant to the fact we have a situation whereby the emergency supply of electricity places this nation under extreme pressure from time to time.
