Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment (22 Jan 2021) Brian Stanley: I have a couple of questions. In respect of An Post, I compliment the company. I was my party's spokesperson on communications a few years ago and the company was in deep bother at that time. It has had to carry out a transition very quickly and get itself into shape, so I compliment everybody involved. There is good employment for my area of Portlaoise and the wider County Laois at the...

Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment (22 Jan 2021) Brian Stanley: Given the time constraints, I ask Mr. Griffin to revert to me afterwards specifically on those two sites.

It is important that the State captures and makes use of that and they are used as part of the whole new infrastructure needed in the midlands for renewable energy. Perhaps Mr. Griffin will...

Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment (22 Jan 2021) Brian Stanley: I have a quick question on carbon credits.

Unfortunately, many rural county councils have had to erect cameras at places where there is likely to be dumping taking place, including at bring banks, to stop people from...
