As the witnesses mentioned, the county players represent a large portion of the funding for GAA games. How do GPA members view the consultation process? What are their views on integration?

Chris Andrews: What advice would Mr. Spain and Ms Groarke give to the GAA? Ms Groarke mentioned the heavy load for training. My daughters are out six days a week. Last night they played camogie and they will play football tonight. They also have two training sessions a week for each sport. It is full on. What advice would Mr. Spain and Ms Groarke give to change that and reduce the load?

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (16 Apr 2024)

Chris Andrews: For months, the Government has watched Mount Street turn into a tented city. Fine Gael's neglect of the inner city continues. Many residents do not feel safe around Mount Street or, indeed, anywhere in the city. Small local businesses next to Mount Street are on the brink of closing down because of the shambles this Government has created. The people I represent are sick of this...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (17 Apr 2024)

Chris Andrews: It is just a brief observation on Deputy Boyd Barrett's proposal to take out the word "undue". The Minister mentioned the segregation and said he does not believe it occurs. I think he said most Part V housing is delivered on site. My experience, however, certainly in the inner city, is that a significant number of properties are not delivered on site. I could give a list of names of...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Postal Services (25 Apr 2024)

Chris Andrews: I thank the Minister of State, Deputy Anne Rabbitte. An Post is planning on selling off its beautiful art deco building which has been the home of Rathmines post office for almost 90 years and is an iconic building in the heart of Rathmines. In one fell swoop, the actions of An Post will mean that this building will be lost to the Rathmines community and An Post will privatise the postal...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Postal Services (25 Apr 2024)

Chris Andrews: We often talk about a 15-minute city, but this model of An Post postal service delivery will not lend itself to a 15-minute city. People will have to travel significantly longer to reach the local post office. One example, as I mentioned earlier, was when Kevin Street post office closed. Residents have quite a distance to go now to reach the nearest post office, and at an older age it...
