Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (21 Nov 2017)

Questions on Promised Legislation (22 Nov 2017)

Eamon Ryan: A Programme for a Partnership Government includes a commitment to promote sustainable transport, in particular cycling. In a tragic situation, another cyclist died last night bringing the number to 15 this year, a 50% increase on the previous year.

Was the Tánaiste informed when the company decided to go ahead with the second Danish plant, which had not been expected, in July this year? When does she expect it might make a decision on whether it will, in the end, proceed with an...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Job Creation (23 Nov 2017)

Eamon Ryan: I agree with the Tánaiste on the benefits, particularly for the west, but I must argue that her total commitment is not a fair reflection of the reality on the ground. These companies coming to Ireland want 100% renewable power. The Government has just presented a report which plans for the next 13 years and states we will only aim to keep the existing level of renewable power....

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Job Creation (23 Nov 2017)

Eamon Ryan: If it is not ideological, what explains the fact the Government is in Europe at present trying to water down every renewable directive and governance measure?

If, as the Ceann Comhairle has said, we cannot look into certain areas...
