Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Vaccination Programme (28 Feb 2024)

Gerry Horkan: ...I do not doubt the Minister of State and his extensive knowledge of the health portfolio. We were joint rather than fellow councillors on the south Dublin-mid Leinster regional forum of the HSE a long time ago. We will do our best.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: General Scheme of Data-Sharing and Governance Bill: Discussion (Resumed) (23 May 2017)

Gerry Horkan: There was a time when one had to join a society to access the internet. One could not just get on the web. We have come a long way and much of it is very positive, but we as a committee need to write back. We have to form our views on this particular legislation. That is the job of pre-legislative scrutiny. I think the message from all here is that it is not fit for purpose and not where...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Update on Issues in Aviation Sector: Engagement with Mr. Willie Walsh (16 Nov 2022)

Gerry Horkan: The Chairman acknowledged that Mr. Walsh was the chief executive of an airline and then of a bigger one. I recall when he was the boss of Futura. I am around that long.

The point he made on Irish aviation generally, which I have made before, was that between himself and Mr. Michael O’Leary, Mr. Alan...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: A Common Vision for Cybersecurity: Discussion (31 May 2023)

Gerry Horkan: That is a valid point. I will ask Mr. Larkin a question on salaries in this industry before I bring in Senator Craughwell.

I am not talking about the salary of the chief information officer of Microsoft or Google or somebody like that. What would people who...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Delays Affecting Car Tests and Driver Tests: Discussion (1 Feb 2023)

Gerry Horkan: There are the guts of 2 million cars in the system and on the roads. Obviously, in the first four years they do not need to see Applus but they are coming. What is the long-term plan for 600, 800, 1,000, 49 or 54 cars? The other question, which I do not think anyone has touched on and I have been here the whole time, obviously, is that no-one has mentioned electric cars and how easy or...
