Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Irish Film Industry: Discussion (31 Jan 2018)

Peadar Tóibín: I want to focus on training. This is a major gripe within the sector as far as I can see because the training seems to have no beginning, no middle and no end. It has no accreditation. If a person looks to go into any sector, what he or she will seek is to know how long it is going to take, know what their output has to be and know the accreditation. Once they have achieved that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Irish Film Industry: Discussion (31 Jan 2018)

Peadar Tóibín: I would have had people come to me who have degrees, years of experience working in a particular sector within the industry who told me that they get repeated requests to become part of a production as a trainee. I do not know how that facilitates productions. One of the important things is that we leave capacity in the sector. If the Government is spending money there needs to be a...

Topical Issue Debate: North-South Interconnector (6 Feb 2018)

Peadar Tóibín: We in Sinn Féin support a North-South interconnector and an all-Ireland energy market. Most importantly, however, we only support it if it is undergrounded. Shockingly, the Government plans to overground it. Fine Gael and the Independents seek to construct 409 pylons, some of them up to 51 m high, carrying 400,000 V through Meath, Cavan, Monaghan, Armagh and Tyrone. Some will be...

Topical Issue Debate: North-South Interconnector (6 Feb 2018)

Peadar Tóibín: The Minister has studiously avoided answering my question. An Bord Pleanála has granted planning permission to Eirgrid. It does not include access in over 500 situations. Without access Eirgrid cannot build the interconnector. Unless it breaches that permission this will meet another stone wall. Is the Minister going to tell us how exactly Eirgrid is going to gain access to build...

Arts (Dignity at Work) (Amendment) Bill 2018: First Stage (7 Feb 2018)

Peadar Tóibín: In the past few months, a number of women have stood up and identified sexual harassment and bullying at the highest reaches of the cultural institutions. It takes great strength and confidence to do that because in Ireland, normally, when one speaks out, it means career suicide. These women have done a massive service to people everywhere and we applaud them. It is amazing that it took...

Petroleum and Other Minerals Development (Amendment) (Climate Emergency Measures) Bill 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (7 Feb 2018)

Peadar Tóibín: It pains me to say this, but the Minister's tenure in this Department thus far has been an absolute disaster. Climate change is the biggest problem facing the planet. Each year, we see record temperatures and each year, climate change takes thousands of lives around the planet. We see a ramping up of droughts, floods and extreme weather events and these in turn are affecting the politics...
