Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: National Broadband Plan: Discussion (Resumed) (26 Jun 2019)

Seán Sherlock: I have absolutely internalised that as Mr. O'Leary said it in earlier interventions. If my constituent is supposedly encapsulated within the 300,000 connections to be provided by Eir but is in the last house on the link and is waiting for months on end or put on the never-never, is there potential for him or her to be included in the 450,000 connections that SIRO envisages?

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Postal Services (27 Jun 2019)

Seán Sherlock: I express my solidarity with the more than 200 workers who find themselves in a position where they are going to lose their jobs.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Postal Services (27 Jun 2019)

Seán Sherlock: Is that not the point? We do not know which of the centres was the most efficient.

Land and Conveyancing Law Reform (Amendment) Bill 2019: Report Stage (2 Jul 2019)

Seán Sherlock: We have to talk about this Bill in the context of what it means for the owners of family homes. Taking the announcement today from Ulster Bank regarding its plans to sell a €900 million loan book with 3,200 homes, we can safely state that common sense dictates that if a property goes into receivership, then that is a precursor to taking possession of the property. This amendment...
