- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Irish Coast Guard: Discussion (18 Nov 2021)
Kieran O'Donnell: The key feature here is that volunteers believe that if they bring up a grievance or something that is not aligned with management's views, there are recriminations. That is the substance of what we are getting. That is something we want the witnesses to take on board. We will continue with our deliberations.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Irish Coast Guard: Discussion (18 Nov 2021)
Kieran O'Donnell: Mr. Clonan might wish to communicate directly with the Department about the Coast Guard. If he wishes to communicate with the committee by following up, he can do that either. We have to adjourn here at 12.40 p.m. I propose that Deputy Carey poses a quick question.

These committee meetings are being held on foot of volunteers making direct contact with us. We should not forget the phenomenal work they do. The five most recent tragic deaths, those of Caitríona Lucas and the crew of R116, Dara Fitzpatrick, Mark Duffy, Paul Ormsby...
- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Inflation: Discussion (resumed) (24 Nov 2021)
Kieran O'Donnell: I will take up the point raised by the Chair about the review of the banking system. What is the Governor's perspective on the issue of post offices and credit unions and what role does he see them fulfilling? Both have good networks. Post offices are under pressure. An Post has already gone into banking to some extent, but the credit unions not as much. We have had an incomplete...

- Ceisteanna (Atógáil) - Questions (Resumed) - Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Transport Policy (16 Dec 2021)
Kieran O'Donnell: I refer to the safe school scheme in Limerick. There were eight schools granted entry in a recent round. Of those, two were secondary schools and six were primary schools. They were all city-based and that is to be welcomed. When will the Department expedite the roll-out of this scheme to all the schools that have applied in Limerick and north County Tipperary? We have villages like...

Kieran O'Donnell: On the rolling basis, let us say eight schools in Limerick were selected with two being secondary schools and six being primary schools. If one school is completed, does another school automatically come in then in Limerick?

Kieran O'Donnell: I welcome the fact 29 schools have been included under the 932 and that there are 32 in Tipperary. It is about the mechanism for me.

I ask that the Minister of State, as she has responsibility for this programme, look to see how we can expedite it....
