- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Standards of Service in Water Supply: Irish Water and CER (11 Feb 2014)

- Seanad: Order of Business (12 Feb 2014)
Denis Landy: I wish to raise the issue of closed circuit television, CCTV, cameras in rural towns. In 2004, the then Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform provided funding for 21 systems across the country. That number was increased nationally to 49 and included cities. A new system was then introduced whereby communities could apply for funding. A sum of €4 million was made available...

- Seanad: Recent Flooding: Statements (12 Feb 2014)
Denis Landy: I welcome the Minister of State and thank him for all the work he has put into this issue in recent weeks. I am sure the Minister of State has many other things on his mind at present and he would have preferred not to have had to leave Dublin as much as he has, but he did so and we appreciate it. In crises it is always good to see a response from the Government, and the Government has...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Electricity Generation and Export: Discussion (18 Feb 2014)
Denis Landy: There is no rush to make decisions on the issue of sustainability, as everyone involved in energy supply agrees that we have done enough to take us to 2030, even if we were to do nothing else. I am heartened in some ways and disappointed in others by the efforts invested in promoting bio-energy, which most of us accept is the most sustainable way of creating energy. It is done through the...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Electricity Generation and Export: Discussion (18 Feb 2014)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Electricity Generation and Export: Discussion (18 Feb 2014)
Denis Landy: Yes, but we and other countries still have targets to meet. Will Mr. D'Arcy clarify that point? When it was put to Mr. Brian Motherway, CEO of the SEAI, today that between 25 MW and 28 MW would be generated from wind energy, he replied that we would never reach that target and that most of the projects would not go ahead. Bord na Móna is a semi-State company that uses taxpayers'...

Denis Landy: As I understand it Element Power will not be using the grid but will, in terms of export, be using some of the power it produces in this country. Will Element Power be using the grid in any sense other than for export? Many witnesses appearing before the committee are not answering the questions they are being asked. I respectfully ask Mr. Cowhig to answer the questions I put to him.
