Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Wildlife Protection (21 Jun 2018)

Eamon Ryan: I tabled this question because I believe Ireland should set itself a national goal to restore the curlew, to stop the Irish curlew becoming extinct and to maintain the cry of the curlew on our land.

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Wildlife Protection (21 Jun 2018)

Eamon Ryan: What the Minister is doing is loosening the regulations. Last Monday, we saw what happened when there was no proper enforcement of environmental laws, with people ignoring the laws that restrict illegal dumping.

Order of Business (26 Jun 2018)

Eamon Ryan: I want to clarify the response the Taoiseach gave to me last week on Leaders' Questions when I asked about directly elected mayors.

With regard to Dublin, he said he would have to look at the...
