Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Cost Rental Housing Model: Discussion (12 Jul 2018)

Eamon Ryan: The witnesses, including those from NERI and Dr. Healy, have all played a very important role in respect of this issue. The NESC report on cost rental has been hugely influential. Inchicore should be the first large-scale example of its deployment. We have a small project in Enniskerry but it is not big enough in scale. There is potential for this to change our entire housing model and if...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Cost Rental Housing Model: Discussion (12 Jul 2018)

Eamon Ryan: I was also at the national economic dialogue and, in the discussions I had and in some of the public forum discussions, I heard many people calling for a cost rental model. I accept that more housing has been built but it is still a fraction of what we need. It is not a party political point when I say that I fundamentally disagree that we need to leave things as they are. We need a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: MetroLink Project: Discussion (18 Jul 2018)

Eamon Ryan: I have to go for five minutes but I will come back in if I can.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: MetroLink Project: Discussion (18 Jul 2018)

Eamon Ryan: My apologies that I had to do a radio interview on this same subject, which was reason I slipped out, and I am at a disadvantage, therefore, in that I did not hear what Mr. Nash, Ms Gilmore and everyone else had to say. I have only one question. If the witnesses have answered it, they do not need to come back to me on it. I was looking for local knowledge on this issue of accessibility...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: MetroLink Project: Discussion (18 Jul 2018)

Eamon Ryan: The loss will only be known when it is gone. This may have been addressed but that is my one question, because the witnesses bring that local knowledge to the equation.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: BusConnects: National Transport Authority (18 Jul 2018)

Eamon Ryan: I wish the NTA the best of luck with this because it will not be an easy job but it is an extremely important job. We discussed the metro upgrade earlier on and that is difficult at local level but the number of challenges with BusConnects are a multiple of that. I have experience of many years' involvement in QBC designs. On every street the allocation of space is the most contentious...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: BusConnects: SIPTU and NRBU (18 Jul 2018)

Eamon Ryan: I apologise that I was unable to be here for all of the meeting. It has been a mad day here. I shall certainly read the transcript of the meeting.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Moderation of Violent and Harmful Content on the Facebook Platform: Discussion (1 Aug 2018)

Eamon Ryan: I thank Facebook for agreeing - following on from what happened at a previous meeting - to provide data in respect of the volume of spending during the recent referendum campaign here. This is a very progressive initiative whereby we are setting standards that could and should be applied in other jurisdictions. The "Dispatches" programme is so worrying because instead of setting standards,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Moderation of Violent and Harmful Content on the Facebook Platform: Discussion (1 Aug 2018)

Eamon Ryan: Mr. McKeogh had to go through the courts to get access to justice. Ms Sweeney should acknowledge that was a mistake, in hindsight.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Moderation of Violent and Harmful Content on the Facebook Platform: Discussion (1 Aug 2018)

Eamon Ryan: A minute ago, Ms Cummiskey said Facebook does not allow children under 13 on its network, but one of the many interesting things revealed in the "Dispatches" programme is that it does. Their presence is not encouraged or wanted but it does happen. In a sense, it is allowed. Going back to the fundamental reappraisal of the business model, has Facebook looked at ways in which it could be...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Moderation of Violent and Harmful Content on the Facebook Platform: Discussion (1 Aug 2018)

Eamon Ryan: On that point, I heard Ms Sweeney saying that in terms of if it comes to her attention, but could Facebook not consider a pre-emptive measure at the entry point to ensure it would be de facto impossible to have that situation rather than it have to be something which is reviewed or that somebody reports?
