Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Ukraine War (24 Mar 2022)

Seán Sherlock: I welcome the Minister's response. I am concerned that there have been 22 referrals, but I am reassured that a designated social worker team has been assigned.

Public Accounts Committee: Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland: Financial Statements 2020 (24 Mar 2022)

Seán Sherlock: I wish to talk specifically about the retrofitting of houses. A very good report was issued by Age Action Ireland in respect of the need for a new energy poverty strategy.

Public Accounts Committee: Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland: Financial Statements 2020 (24 Mar 2022)

Seán Sherlock: I appreciate that. We are all talking the language of the just transition but nobody has been able to identify what that means in real terms.

I could be living in a well-appointed, high-value house in south Dublin, for instance - I do not mean to unfairly target south...

Public Accounts Committee: Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland: Financial Statements 2020 (24 Mar 2022)

Seán Sherlock: Forgive me if I am misinterpreting Dr. Byrne but I think he saying that his role is not in respect of social policy and income thresholds, but purely on E, F, G rated homes and targeting them.

I am trying to get a sense as to whether the SEAI has received direction from...

Public Accounts Committee: Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland: Financial Statements 2020 (24 Mar 2022)

Seán Sherlock: Based on Dr. Byrne’s reply to earlier questions, am I to understand SEAI's policy intervention in relation to granting of high-end EVs is leaving it to the market to decide on where the technology will land? Does that mean that when the technological solution becomes cheaper, that is where things will land in terms of a demand, supply and a price point? I ask this because, based on...

Services for Children with Disabilities: Motion [Private Members] (29 Mar 2022)

Seán Sherlock: I welcome the motion, which we will absolutely support. I note that the Government is not going to oppose it. If I may, I will quote directly from my copy of the Minister of State's speech.
