Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Papal Visit (27 Jun 2018)

Eamon Ryan: I thank the Taoiseach for those details. With regard to the reception in Dublin Castle where the President, the Taoiseach and the diplomatic corps will attend a visit by Pope Francis where he will give a speech, is it expected that leaders of party groups here will be invited to the event?

Establishment of Special Joint Committee on Climate Action: Motion (3 Jul 2018)

Eamon Ryan: I very much welcome the establishment of this committee and what I hope will be the approval of this motion.

Heritage Bill 2016: Report Stage (3 Jul 2018)

Eamon Ryan: I mentioned cycling because that is my personal experience, having spent 15 years bringing people around the country, often on the very boreens about which Deputy Ó Cuív was talking. It is not just for cyclists but for all tourists. It is not just tourists but that is not an insignificant issue. They love that sense on our roads. We have to be careful and manage them for road...

Urban Regeneration and Housing (Amendment) Bill 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (3 Jul 2018)

Eamon Ryan: The Green Party will also support the Bill. A couple of things that were done during our time in government may be useful or additional to this Bill, or may show that it is not impossible to take a different approach. We introduced and passed a Bill on a supernormal tax on rezoning profit. It was an 80% tax on rezoning gain, which does not belong to the landowner but to the public...

I have been frantically reading some of the submissions to prepare my questions. I regret...

Eamon Ryan: The reason I asked the question is because I was looking at the map that Ms Slevin kindly provided, which one can get online as well, and one can see the yellow coloured area is the frontier licence and the blue area corresponds to the area of exploration. I am not sure about the technical terms. If I am correct, it is effectively a rim around the continental shelf. It is quite a distance...
