- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: National Broadband Plan: Discussion (Resumed) (3 Jul 2019)
Eamon Ryan: Eir is putting its least subsidy at €512 million, which could be compared with the Department's figure €1.7 billion. That does not include the €250 million cost to the Department of monitoring this, which would bring it close to €2 billion. There is still a difference of €1.5 billion between those two figures.

Eamon Ryan: If the Department had, hypothetically, gone with the universal service obligation, USO, model, there is a possibility that ComReg would be doing that job. ComReg would, to a certain extent, already have the capability or teams in place to manage that, so there might be a cost saving in that regard.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: National Broadband Plan: Discussion (Resumed) (3 Jul 2019)
Eamon Ryan: The intervention by Eir last week has changed the tenor of our investigation to a certain extent. The previous presentation by academics from the University of Limerick was also very compelling. Going back to my core concern, the question was always whether a gap model or concession model was the appropriate approach. The State is the investor here and the one taking the risk and putting...

- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (9 Jul 2019)
Eamon Ryan: I support Deputy Paul Murphy. The Government has treated the Order of Business in this House in a way that is completely undemocratic. The Deputy has cited the example of the Petroleum and Other Minerals Development (Amendment) (Climate Emergency Measures) Bill 2018 which is critical. The Government has used money messages at the end of a lengthy process which involved this House voting to...

Eamon Ryan: The European Council recently failed to get agreement on a net-zero climate emissions target by 2050. The Government's climate action plan states the Government would agree to such a target subject to European agreement. Is the Government willing to commit to net-zero emissions by 2050, irrespective of what happens in the European Union process, or will we wait for agreement among all...
