- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Delays Affecting Car Tests and Driver Tests: Discussion (1 Feb 2023)
Gerry Horkan: To add to Senator Murphy's point, I think we heard earlier that the time for the category B licence, which is an ordinary licence, is around 19 weeks but the upgrades if one likes, the C and D licences take ten to 12 weeks. While those times are shorter than everybody else's, it is still too long.

- Seanad: Communications Regulation and Digital Hub Development Agency (Amendment) Bill 2022: Second Stage (8 Feb 2023)
Gerry Horkan: I thank Senator Dooley for sharing time. It is always good to have the Minister of State in the House. I cannot think of a better person in Leinster House to be dealing with these kinds of topics. He is particularly familiar with this area and brings much of his expertise to it. I certainly welcome that. I certainly welcome the enforcement regime involving ComReg. So many consumers ring...

- Seanad: Oil Emergency Contingency and Transfer of Renewable Transport Fuels Functions Bill 2023: Second Stage (9 Feb 2023)
Gerry Horkan: I thank the Minister of State for his quite comprehensive but very technical briefing. When he spoke at speed about amending section 3 of the Fuels (Control of Supplies) Act 1971 "where there is a Government order in place under section 2 of the Act", and so on, I was reminded of an episode of "Yes Minister" or "Yes, Prime Minister". I do not think people looking in are really getting to...

- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (14 Feb 2023)
Gerry Horkan: I thank the Leader for the business she outlined today. I am happy to agree to it. I was not in the Chamber on Wednesday last week because I was attending the funeral of former Senator, Minister and Deputy Niamh Bhreathnach. I wish to put on the record my sympathies to her family, friends and colleagues in the Labour Party. I served for almost 11 years with Niamh on Dún...
- Seanad: Communications Regulation and Digital Hub Development Agency (Amendment) Bill 2022: Committee and Remaining Stages (14 Feb 2023)
Gerry Horkan: I thank the Minister of State. I thought I said that we might reflect on what was being said. Last time, I had about one and a half minutes to speak but clearly it was an impactful one and a half or thereabouts two minutes. I thank the Minister of State for taking it on board. I felt that the phrase “high-risk” was insulting. It was inappropriate in legislation. While we...

Gerry Horkan: On a matter of information, will the Minister of State give some detail on where we are with these infringement matters? Has the clock started ticking or is it about to start ticking? What is the window and equally, what is the fine or the cost of us not passing this measure by whenever? Obviously we want to pass it tonight. How much per day and from when does the clock start ticking?

Gerry Horkan: Before I bring in the Minister of State, I welcome Deputy O'Connor to the Gallery. He is always very welcome to join us here in the Upper House. With him is a friend, Mario, whom I understand is originally from Romania and now living in Cork North-Central. He is also very welcome. Separate from sometimes being the Acting Chair, I am also the convener in this Parliament of the...
