Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Increasing Wind Power on the National Grid: Discussion (27 Apr 2021)

Lynn Boylan: To follow up on some other members' points, I have a concern about biodiversity and in particular about offshore wind. I share Mr. Cunniffe's excitement about the potential for offshore wind in the context of meeting our 2030 targets, but my concern is that if we fast-track marine planning but do not have the designated zones in place, it will only lead to more judicial reviews and planning...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Increasing Wind Power on the National Grid: Discussion (27 Apr 2021)

Lynn Boylan: I will pick up on Senator Higgins's point about the data centres and tease that back. Mr. Foley said much of the increase in demand comes from electric vehicles, heat pumps and data centres. It is true to say that the bulk of it is coming from data centres. In managing our grid infrastructure, would EirGrid favour a change in the planing regulations? Dr. Ryan said that he works with An...

Lynn Boylan: I have a specific question that has been raised a number of times on the native Irish black bee and the level of protection it has. Are our guests concerned about the impact of the importation of non-native bees on hybridisation as well as the importation of the small hive beetle? I would appreciate it if the witnesses want to respond in writing to my other question. We have heard how...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (7 May 2021)

Lynn Boylan: I also offer my condolences to Senator Mullen. I propose an amendment to the Order of Business that No. 12, the Civil Legal Aid (Exclusion of Value of Free or Partly Free Board) (Amendment) Bill 2021, be taken on the conclusion of the Order of Business today. I hope the Leader will have no objections to that. I am aware that a review of the entire civil legal aid system is under way, which...

Seanad: Carer's Allowance: Motion (10 May 2021)

Lynn Boylan: I welcome the opportunity to speak on today's motion. I am sure that many of the 500,000 carers in the State are watching this debate, and hoping that they finally get the recognition that they deserve because they are often left wondering who is going to care for the carers. They would often say that it is does not seem to be this Government. The strain on carers and families is...
