Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Records (8 Feb 2017)

Eamon Ryan: I too raise the interests of future historians and economists. The Central Bank wrote to the Houses asking that we destroy or return all records relating to the banking inquiry. At the Committee on Procedure and Privileges, I expressed the importance that the material be kept somewhere, whether in the Central Bank or the National Archives, to guarantee that in the future when people are...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (Resumed) (24 Oct 2018)

Eamon Ryan: ...attention is the Blackwater flood management near Bandon where, on a daily basis, we see trucks driving up and down rivers in the middle of the sensitive spawning season. The whole river has been destroyed. Why is the OPW doing flood management in a way that is destroying rivers? The Blackwater is not an unimportant river.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (Resumed) (24 Oct 2018)

Eamon Ryan: ...a further sea level rise. Why is the OPW opposed to what seems to be a very sensible proposal for a tidal barrage in Cork to address the acute issue of flooding in Cork city centre, rather than destroying the character of Cork with its current plans for raising the city walls and destroying the central, most attractive part of the city centre? Why is the OPW objecting to the proposal and...

Eamon Ryan: ...to protect us from what were then the excessive powers of business. Some see it as reactionary but I see it as quite progressive.

Ceisteanna - Questions: National Risk Assessment (26 Jun 2018)

Eamon Ryan: ...or take place over time. However, some day we will wake up and realise that all the other risks were minute compared to the risk of humanity inhabiting a planet where the natural world has been destroyed, frayed and torn apart. Biodiversity is connected to climate, given the loss of habitat due to climate change. Loss of biodiversity will give us an indicator as to how we are doing...

Energy Prices. (18 Jun 2009)

Eamon Ryan: ...in the medium to long term. That is not in the customer's interest or the country's interest. What we are doing is working. I do not think the Deputy opposite has an alternative that would not destroy the competitive process.

Seanad: Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages (24 May 2023)

Eamon Ryan: ...put a requirement on the Minister to be specific in respect of how it is regulated. In response to some of the direct concerns, those regulations include how data might be provided, used, stored, destroyed and so on. It is that amendment to the Bill, which we will discuss later, which I hope gives some of the protections that the Senator is concerned about. With regard to amendment No....

Other Questions: Wildlife Protection (7 Feb 2017)

Eamon Ryan: ...Communications, Climate Action and Environment are in fossil fuel scholarships rather than clean energy scholarships and that it is measuring nature so that those industries can go out and help to destroy nature. The Minister of State has still not answered the key question I have asked on three occasions. Will he answer it on the third time? On the basis of the ObSERVE programme, if...

Fodder Shortage: Motion [Private Members] (17 Apr 2018)

Eamon Ryan: ...really cleverly so that we do not pollute our land and our water.

We should learn from its mistake.

Eamon Ryan: Without returning to the Second Stage debate, I fundamentally disagree with Senator McDowell. It is not gesture politics. The four seismic licences granted yesterday will destroy large sections of marine life in the north-west Atlantic Ocean at a time when the wildlife system is in peril. There will be massive damage. If we succeed in finding oil in the north-west Atlantic Ocean, that...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Priority Questions: Child Care Costs (8 Nov 2016)

Eamon Ryan: ...as they did in the US. In response to the Minister's question on what we might do, I would take the evidence from Robert Putnam's latest book, Our Kids, and examine what the American model did. It destroyed social capital and created a deep divide in the country. We have to support parents on low incomes, in particular lone parents who lose out in a dual income trap society. However, we...

Eamon Ryan: ...of climate change. There is a clear need for increased finance to avert, minimise and address loss and damage when devastating droughts, heat waves, floods, extreme weather events, and rising sea levels destroy lives, livelihoods, and homes.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Wind Energy Generation (15 Jun 2023)

Eamon Ryan: ...environment is protected. I think we can do that. The development of offshore wind will be really good for the restoration of the maritime areas. Taking the Irish Sea, for example, we have destroyed the Irish Sea over many decades with the loss of fishing stocks, mussel and oyster beds. Looking at what has been lost in the Irish Sea, the restoration of wind power will see the...
