- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Horse Sport Industry Strategy: Engagement with Horse Sport Ireland (21 Jun 2023)
Lynn Boylan: Perfect. I thank Mr. Duggan. In the opening statement, Mr. Duggan refers to the importance of attracting and retaining skilled staff. Deputy Kerrane asked about the number of staff that have left and Mr. Dowling stated that they did not have a figure. Has Horse Sport Ireland an attrition rate, that is, what percentage of turnover happens? Most organisations will know that 2% or 5% of...

Lynn Boylan: On the attrition rate, Horse Sport Ireland stated that it has not identified the number of people it needs to fill the skills gaps or vacancies. Am I correct in saying that Mr. Duggan does not have a figure for the number?

- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (27 Jun 2023)
Lynn Boylan: I raise an issue I raised last week, regarding the Citizens' Assembly on Biodiversity Loss. Senator Boyhan raised the recommendations of the Dublin Citizens' Assembly on a directly elected mayor, but I have concerns about the fact the Joint Committee on Environment and Climate Action has been asked to review the report of the biodiversity citizens' assembly, which is an excellent report with...

Lynn Boylan: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit. As the Minister of State is well aware, the Citizens' Assembly on Biodiversity Loss has completed its work, and I want to acknowledge and commend the remarkable 100 individuals involved who, over the seven meetings from May to January of this year, produced a report which includes 159 agreed recommendations from its 99 members. It is crucial for...
- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Environmental Policy (29 Jun 2023)
Lynn Boylan: For some reason, the Minister of State seems to think that a review of the Arterial Drainage Act means a complete cessation of all flood management works but that is just scaremongering. It is the same type of scaremongering that we are seeing with regard to the nature restoration law by the European People's Party group in Brussels. What we are talking about is a review of the Act so that...
