Too often, these young people are battling...

Réada Cronin: I am in the building. My questions have been asked but I have a concern. The Government is speaking about building a data centre in Celbridge in my constituency. Professor McMullin spoke about a moratorium. Carers in Celbridge are worried about brownouts and blackouts because they care for children who need oxygen, nebulisers, heists and other essential equipment. Does he think the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Energy Charter Treaty, Energy Security, Liquefied Natural Gas and Data Centres: Discussion (resumed) (5 Oct 2021)

Réada Cronin: The regulator's take is that the demand from data centres is rampant and historic. It is reassuring to hear that from a regulator because there has been a lot of appeasing talk in recent years regarding the increase in demand and capacity, as if to suggest that we will be grand with a few tweaks here and there. I am interested in the data centre policy that the regulator will release later...

Recovery of Tourism and Aviation: Statements (7 Oct 2021)

Réada Cronin: As we start to emerge from the height of the Covid crisis, there is a certain relief in the tourism and aviation sectors, both hard hit by the public health measures necessary to stop the spread of the virus. Both sectors were very badly hit by those restrictions and it will take a long time for them to recover and to regain ground lost. In my constituency in north Kildare, I saw at first...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: General Scheme of the Circular Economy Bill 2021: Discussion (7 Oct 2021)

Réada Cronin: I welcome the Bill. I have had only a quick read through of it but I think it makes some excellent points about living as lightly as we can. It would be interesting if we could put our mammies or nannies in charge of this. I am old enough to remember when children visited their cousins and they were invited up to their rooms to be given old clothes. For me, the circular economy is about...
