Eamon Ryan: I am talking about Cathal Brugha Barracks in particular.
- Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Defence Forces Properties (21 Mar 2018)
Eamon Ryan: I am afraid it is not the case that there is plenty of land in the area we are thinking of. I am particularly interested in Cathal Brugha Barracks, which is in my constituency. The area in question is at the heart of the rental crisis. I assure the Minister of State that there are no other lands within the city area. What are the strategic military reasons for needing to have two military...

- European Council: Statements (21 Mar 2018)
Eamon Ryan: This is an extremely important moment in the history of Ireland. As we find our former friends and allies in Washington and London drifting off in the direction of economic nationalism, we must reassert our place in Europe. Last week's events in Washington will be as important as the meeting of the European Council later this week. The controversy surrounding remarks made by the Taoiseach...
- Select Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Estimates for Public Services 2018
Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment (Revised) (21 Mar 2018) Eamon Ryan: On the national broadband plan and the Minister's statement that he hopes to have a preferred bidder by September, is there a competitive element to the process such that a preferred bidder will be able to contract the use of telephone or electricity poles in providing fibre broadband for houses? If so, will the competitive element follow the selection of the preferred bidder or will it...
- Select Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Estimates for Public Services 2018
Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment (Revised) (21 Mar 2018) Eamon Ryan: Will that determination be made before the preferred bidder is selected or will the decision on the infrastructure to be used be part of an evolving process? I presume the contract will not be signed when the preferred bidder is selected because all of the regulatory details will not be to hand in September. Is agreement on the preferred bidder the key finishing line or part of a series of...

Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment (Revised) (21 Mar 2018) Eamon Ryan: My question concerns the same subhead and the same issue. I think this committee is at one. There is a real urgency in addressing the funding of Irish broadcasting and, indeed as Deputy Dooley says, Irish media. There has been good news in that TV3 is about to sign a deal for rights to the Heineken Cup, which is great. However, I joked with the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade,...
- Select Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Estimates for Public Services 2018
Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment (Revised) (21 Mar 2018) Eamon Ryan: I cannot remember when the committee started debating the retransmission issue but I think it was nearly a year ago that we had the hearing. Anyone listening to the discussion we had around it would know that the Minister has the political cover to act on it because we were pretty much united and perfectly clear having heard the initial evidence that there was a really strong case. There is...

Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment (Revised) (21 Mar 2018) Eamon Ryan: Unfortunately, I have to speak in the Chamber shortly. Apologies if I have to leave for that. What number of those houses in 2021 does the Minister expect to be deep retrofit? Has Deputy Denis Naughten, as a Minister, supported the European Parliament's call for a 35% renewables target as part of the new renewables directive that is now in the trial process? Has the Department changed...

- Genuine Progress Indicators and National Distributional Accounts Bill 2017: Second Stage [Private Members] (22 Mar 2018)
Eamon Ryan: I am very pleased to be able to support this Bill presented by the Labour Party and to reflect on some of its provisions. This legislation represents exactly the type of reform we should be looking to make to our public services. I will start with a couple of personal anecdotes that reflect my perspective. I studied business studies in UCD in the early 1980s. On my first day my first...

- Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Good Friday Agreement (28 Mar 2018)
Eamon Ryan: I seek as an honest an assessment as the Tánaiste can give on the possibility of calling a British-Irish Intergovernmental Conference as one of the potential mechanisms for unlocking the current impasse in the implementation of the Good Friday Agreement. As we approach the 20th anniversary of the establishment of this incredible structure, it is particularly sad that the Good Friday...
