Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (1 Dec 2022)

Lynn Boylan: The Leader of the House probably will know what I will raise under the Order of Business, and that is the fact that the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Deputy Darragh O’Brien, wants to introduce the planning and development and foreshore Bill in the Seanad next week. The general scheme is still undergoing pre-legislative scrutiny in the Oireachtas housing...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Role of Media and Communications in Actioning Climate Change: Discussion (29 Nov 2022)

Lynn Boylan: I thank all of the speakers. I will pick up on a couple of the topics that we have already been discussing. I want to discuss the impact of messaging on behaviour that can conflict with people's lived experience. Is that counter productive? I am giving the example here of public advertisements at the moment that tell one not use to their clothes dryer, because it is really bad for the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Role of Media and Communications in Actioning Climate Change: Discussion (29 Nov 2022)

Lynn Boylan: Yes, if we have a bit of time. I want to ask Dr. Lunn whether the ESRI has done any analysis on looking at what Mr. Eric Lonergan and Ms Corinne Sawers refer to as extreme positive incentives for change, EPICs, rather than looking at penalising people and using the taxation model, whereby we make things cheaper or provide those extreme incentives that have been shown to be more productive....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Role of Media and Communications in Actioning Climate Change: Discussion (29 Nov 2022)

Lynn Boylan: That is reporting on the behaviour but we are interested in the behaviour and the impact. Will Professor Lunn find out for us whether the ESRI is looking at the extreme positive incentives for change, EPICs, model because I am curious to know? The analysis of Eric Lonergan and Corinne Sawers in that book focused on what is actually having an impact on our carbon emissions and behaviour....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Role of Media and Communications in Actioning Climate Change: Discussion (29 Nov 2022)

Lynn Boylan: I have a question for Dr. Lunn. Does the ESRI have any research on people's willingness to target high net worth individuals on their high consumption? I understand that the top 10% of the population emit nearly as much as the bottom 50%, which comes down to the aspect of fairness. We have seen the conversation about the number of people who flew to COP. Ordinary people are pointing to...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Animal Welfare (6 Dec 2022)

Lynn Boylan: I welcome the Minister of State. It is regrettable the Minister, Deputy Humphreys, could not be here. She sent her apologies. The reason I continually ask the Minister for Rural and Community Development into the House is that her Department has responsibility for the Control of Dogs Act 1986, which includes dangerous breeds. The dog breeding establishment licensing regulations also fall...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Animal Welfare (6 Dec 2022)

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (7 Dec 2022)

Lynn Boylan: Today I would like to echo the expressions of solidarity for nine-year-old Alejandro Miszan, who was attacked by a pitbull and is still recovering in hospital. It is deeply concerning that according to newspaper reports there has been a spike in dog attacks, especially by pitbulls. Some of the commentary and calls from people in positions of power, including the Taoiseach, for a ban on...
