Maternity Services: Motion [Private Members] (3 May 2017)

Eamon Ryan: I also commend Deputy O'Reilly on tabling this motion, allowing us the opportunity to present the arguments. There seems to be clear agreement that, as anyone who is acquainted with the Holles Street facility knows, the National Maternity Hospital cannot stay as it is and must move. Given the medical choices, St. Vincent's Hospital is the obvious location. Not only is it an excellent...

Eamon Ryan: In September 2015 the Tánaiste promised, on behalf of the country, that we would accept some 4,000 refugees from Syria as part of a co-ordinated response from Europe to the refugee crisis, which in scale is beyond anything we have seen in my lifetime. In that country of approximately 23 million, 500,000 have died, with 2 million people disabled because of lost limbs or other...

Leaders' Questions (4 May 2017)

Eamon Ryan: I welcome the Tánaiste's response and I commend the work that has been done. However, nobody believes that we will reach our commitment if it has taken 18 months for just 1,000 refugees out of 4,000 to arrive. I would welcome the possibility of taking in the additional 3,000 within the next few months but I do not believe it will be possible. However, let us make an effort and see if...

Eamon Ryan: We are at a point of real change in the forestry industry. There was a massive increase in afforestation to meet our climate change targets. We need to learn from what has happened in the past 50 years and move to what I believe is a form of forestry with a higher value, with a higher value product, with far more jobs and where we protect biodiversity and the long-term quality of soil. It...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Forestry Sector (4 May 2017)

Eamon Ryan: I am glad that our timing is good in advance of the event to be held in Stradbally tomorrow. I wish the Minister of State the best of luck in that regard. What I hear is recognition of the fact that continuous cover forestry has a real role to play but in marginal conservative research on native forestry; however, not necessarily on the scale in respect of which I believe there is...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Forestry Sector (4 May 2017)

Eamon Ryan: We have to look to the long term. The Minister, Deputy Denis Naughten, has opposed my view of economics in his climate paper.
