Committee on Public Petitions: Campaign for a Walking and Cycling Greenway on the Closed Railway from Sligo to Athenry: Discussion (Resumed) (11 Apr 2024)

Seán Kyne: I had this discussion when West on Track came before the transport committee. If a greenway was developed on the northern section and it was decided subsequently that a railway were to be built, the removal of the greenway would be an added cost. Would this added cost be looked at in terms of the business case and the cost-benefit analysis of the rail project? Would it mitigate the...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Fadhb Thithíochta na Gaeltachta: BÁNÚ (10 Apr 2024)

Seán Kyne: Cabhróidh an tAcht, an reachtaíocht sin, le daoine a bhfuil cead pleanála faighte acu agus atá chun teach a thógáil nó a cheannach.

I thank him for the measures he has put in place in recent weeks in this unprecedented period.The national fodder and food security committee is very important. It needs to be ingrained in farmers that they can plan for an average year, but if they have an average year, therefore, they have years that are not average.
