- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Rural Schemes (27 Oct 2022)
Peadar Tóibín: The reality of the situation is that Ireland is one of the most lopsided countries on the planet. We have a city that is radically overheating at the moment. We have a commuter belt that is sprawling into Ulster, Munster and Connacht, where people are travelling two and three hours into Dublin to go to work. Every year, we have rural areas where the population of young people is reducing....
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Rural Schemes (27 Oct 2022)
Peadar Tóibín: I will give the Minister the evidence. I understand that the north and the west of this island have been downgraded to lagging region status under the Government. That is an incredible assessment from the European Union in relation to what the north and the west are undergoing at the moment. I am referring to the agreement that has unlocked funding through the bloc's cohesion policy. I...

Peadar Tóibín: It is a fact that people cannot get their kids into a school and they are stuck in traffic for hours every day. The driving force is that there is no quality of living because the city has become overheated; it is not that the Government is throwing a few bob here and there to the peasants in order that they can open a community centre or this, that or the other. That is the wrong way to...

Peadar Tóibín: This week, Aontú broke the news that 40,000 tonnes of fertiliser were imported from Russia to Waterford port. It is estimated this is worth approximately €40 million. It is alleged that the supplier of the fertiliser is a sanctioned Russian oligarch. This is an incredible situation. The Government plans to train Ukrainian military personnel in Ireland, which is clearly in...
