Eamon Ryan: I do not know if the Taoiseach's party or other parties have had a similar experience to my party in regard to online advertising for the European Parliament and local election campaigns.

Eamon Ryan: Earlier, the Taoiseach stated that the Dáil's declaration of a climate emergency was just symbolic. His statement is symbolic of the Government's approach to climate change.

Eamon Ryan: I was in the Dáil when we passed the legislation to establish Science Foundation Ireland. We asked its first CEO, Bill Harris, why decarbonisation was not one of its priorities. He agreed that this was regrettable but the agency went on to concentrate on the areas of data analytics and biopharma. In the Green Party's time in government we changed this and added the third leg to the...

The percentage of funding going to various categories suggests that the priorities in the State research sector is the two founding areas,...

Eamon Ryan: The issue of housing is coming up at people's doors right across the country, particularly in my city of Dublin. My assessment is the Government has completely lost the trust of the Irish people in this regard. Political capital is an uncertain currency but we all know that it eventually disappears. It is evaporating for the Government at present in the context of the housing issue. This...

Eamon Ryan: The real urgency is that people want low rent. Those caught in the rental sector are the ones who are caught - our younger generation. Fr. Peter McVerry, who I trust on this, said today that the primary responsibility for social housing lies with the Government and that it is falling short. Regarding all this talk about the numbers, if we parse it down, it is falling short because it is...
