- Brexit: Statements (4 Apr 2017)
Eamon Ryan: At the outset, I wish to mark how sad an occasion the triggering of Article 50 by the UK Government was. In a sense, in that moment it became clear that the UK intended to leave and that our entire union was being undermined. It was a bad day for everyone in Europe as it means a diminished Europe and a diminished relationship between us and our nearest neighbour, with whom we have built up...

- Ceisteanna - Questions: Brexit Issues (5 Apr 2017)
Eamon Ryan: On the negotiating strategy, the point I made last night in our Brexit debate was that we should be looking to push the Commission and the Council to enter talks on areas where there can be co-operation into the future. Prime Minister May is in the Financial Timestoday saying a trade deal will not come until after the Brexit talks are finished and that is probably right. There is a whole...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Brexit Issues (5 Apr 2017)
Eamon Ryan: Our interest-----
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Brexit Issues (5 Apr 2017)
Eamon Ryan: Our interests are aligned with the European Union agenda on a single digital market and an energy union. The Taoiseach should be establishing a pillar straight away, not waiting for the autumn. We should be leading co-operation in that area, not just from an Irish perspective although it will affect Ireland more than anyone else. We should be leading Europe in that approach. We have an...
- Maternity Leave and Benefit: Motion [Private Members] (5 Apr 2017)
Eamon Ryan: I thank my colleague, Deputy Catherine Martin. I also thank the Irish Premature Babies charity for the willingness of its members to share their stories and fight on behalf of other mothers, which it has been doing on a consistent basis. I am glad we were able to assist them in bringing their case to the House. I was stuck at a meeting of the Committee on Budgetary Oversight and I was...
- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Engagement on Overall Fiscal Position: Discussion (5 Apr 2017)
Eamon Ryan: I apologise for being late but I had to meet the Minister for Justice and Equality on the review of the Garda, etc. I have a question for Mr. Watt on that. At the last meeting of the Policing Authority the deputy commissioner was asked why he had not appointed the staffing needed in the communications unit in Castlebar and he answered that they had only just got the authorisation and were...
- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Engagement on Overall Fiscal Position: Discussion (5 Apr 2017)
Eamon Ryan: I have a concern that we are employing 800 new gardaí when we do not even know what the gardaí were doing. The statistics on what they were doing showed twice the amount of activity in one not insignificant area. It is a slight concern in terms of assessing that we need 800 gardaí when we do not know what the gardaí are doing. In terms of the digital identifier,...
- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Engagement on Overall Fiscal Position: Discussion (5 Apr 2017)
Eamon Ryan: That is fair enough. I will come back to it. It is a separate issue but it is relevant, as I said, because what has been exposed in the breath testing story is that it took three years to collect information. When we did, we found the level of activity was half what it really was. That has exposed a real problem within the Garda. With regard to the senior positions, the Commissioner...
- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Engagement on Overall Fiscal Position: Discussion (5 Apr 2017)
Eamon Ryan: I might come back on a future date to the national planning framework and investment in roads. I could not disagree more with Deputy Calleary on what our investment priorities might be. It would take too long to address it now. I have two questions for the Department of Finance. The information I seek may be publicly available but I would just like to be given a sense of it. I found...

- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Engagement on Overall Fiscal Position: Discussion (5 Apr 2017)
Eamon Ryan: Would Mr. Moran welcome suggested questions for the Tax Strategy Group? We might submit them in the coming weeks. My final question is on the judgment on the Apple tax case. I presume the Department of Finance acts as the lead agency within the State on that. Could I be given an update on the timelines for a judgment from the European Court of Justice and how the hearings are going?
