Security Situation in Europe: Statements (23 Feb 2022)

Richard O'Donoghue: I also welcome the Ukrainian ambassador and her team. My concern is that because we are on the edge of Europe we are on the tail end of the supply chain which is a major disadvantage in times of shortage. We are in a vulnerable situation. I ask the Minister to invest in our own producers to ensure that, if this happens, we are sustainable. Hopefully it will not happen. Like it or lump...

Committee on Public Petitions: Annual Reports of the Press Council of Ireland and Office of the Press Ombudsman: Press Ombudsman (17 Feb 2022)

Richard O'Donoghue: I thank Mr. Feeney for that comment. He covered RTÉ's position, but in the Dáil there are 23 Independents across the board at present.

One thing I took from Mr. Feeney's response - he...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: General Scheme of the Monuments and Archaeological Heritage Bill: Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (17 Feb 2022)

Richard O'Donoghue: We have seen how if Government or Departments want to get land, they can get it through a CPO. Is it possible for CPOs to be used to access national monuments and graveyards not owned by the Department? CPOs can be used for strategic projects so why can it not be done for our natural heritage and monuments? Can that be looked into?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: General Scheme of the Monuments and Archaeological Heritage Bill: Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (17 Feb 2022)

Richard O'Donoghue: Yes, but in respect of many of the sites about which we are talking, if open dialogue has failed, at least with a CPO, the person who is losing the land would get money for what he or she is selling and the CPO would mean that there would be a balance. An awful lot of landholders are afraid of insurance if they mention that there is a national monument on their land to which the public wants...
