Lynn Boylan: For pay-as-you-go meters, does Electric Ireland collect data on people who self-disconnect? Does it pass such data on to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul? Who collates the data on people self-disconnecting on pay-as-you-go meters? If somebody is not topping up their meter, does Electric Ireland collect those data and feed them into the CRU or the Society of St. Vincent de Paul?

Lynn Boylan: ...dairy producer. They sponsor the weather, and we are going through our mildest and coldest winter. Ms Twomey said that only ten complaints per year relate to greenwashing. How much emphasis does the ASAI put on the number of complaints that come in and the scrutiny that is given to them? Looking at the Tampax ad, one of the arguments the ASAI made in its judgment was about the number...

Seanad: Electoral (Amendment) (Voting at 16) Bill 2021: Second Stage (7 Nov 2023)

Lynn Boylan: Because it is a Government amendment, it does not need to be seconded. We still have an opportunity to vote on it but my understanding is that it is a Government amendment so it does not need to be seconded. It was moved by Senator McGreehan earlier.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Carbon Budgets: Discussion (Resumed) (18 Jan 2022)

Lynn Boylan: ...Low Carbon Development (Amendment) Act 2021 refers to "relevant bodies" and how they "perform ... [their] functions in a manner consistent with" the climate action plan and the long-term strategy. Does the Department have a definitive list of the relevant bodies? Commercial semi-State bodies, such as Bord na Móna and Coillte, will play a significant role in enabling us to achieve...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Regulations and Verification Systems of Online Sales of Pets: Discussion (30 Mar 2022)

Lynn Boylan: ...because they cannot be bred without artificial insemination. We heard about the issues around that recently. I had a quick look around the site. In one ad, there were 100 breeding bitches. Does Dogs.ieonly accept ads from a registered breeding establishment that caps the number of breeding bitches or does it accept ads from anyone?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Pre-Legislative Scrutiny of the General Scheme of the Energy (Windfall Gains in the Energy Sector) Bill 2023 (18 Apr 2023)

Lynn Boylan: ...there be any sanctions if they do not report? How exactly will that work? In her opening statement, Ms Sikow-Magny mentioned demand reduction. The EU had a 15% demand reduction target and she does not want any scheme to have a negative impact in respect of demand for gas. Does she have concerns that Ireland signed up for 15% voluntary reduction in gas demand but actually came no where...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Engagement with the Commission for Regulation of Utilities (9 May 2023)

Lynn Boylan: Does Mr. Gannon have concerns about the changing of metric used? Ember would have used the data from a comparison with 12 months previously. Their report released last week showed Ireland and Malta as complete outliers. Yet, when we look through the European Council document, they for some reason have decided to go with predicted demand. It does seem Ireland benefits significantly from...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Regulations and Verification Systems of Online Sales of Pets: Discussion (30 Mar 2022)

Lynn Boylan: Does Dogs.ie keep a record of that? When I went on to the site in advance of the meeting, I could see the same dog breeding establishment, in a number of different adverts, was selling dogs that were only a couple of weeks apart in age. The adverts outlined there were ten dogs, for example, in one litter and nine dogs in another litter. Does Dogs.ie collate the information? It was the...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Energy Prices (1 Feb 2023)

Lynn Boylan: ...upon unwinding a ministerial direction and told that this measure was supposed to be a permanent subsidy to large energy users. That was the language in the Cabinet memo that was sent to the CRU. Does the Minister of State support the fact that domestic households have subsidised large energy users - profitable companies - by upwards of €800 million over the past 12 years? Does...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Energy Prices (1 Feb 2023)

Lynn Boylan: ...it would probably cost big businesses approximately €70 million. What the Department did not say is that it cost households €70 million and that the position in this regard needs to be redressed. Does the Minister of State support the view of his predecessor and the Department that the subsidy domestic households are paying towards large energy users should continue...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Energy Prices: Discussion (4 Oct 2022)

Lynn Boylan: ESB Networks is off the hook so. I think my next question does fall into ESB Network's remit. It relates to us scaling up to the challenge to meet the renewable targets. It does create a significant opportunity for employment but, equally, we know we have skills shortages across the board and the CRU and EirGrid seem to have problems recruiting people. Is it a similar situation for ESB...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Citizens' Assembly Report on Biodiversity Loss: Discussion (Resumed) (21 Nov 2023)

Lynn Boylan: ...by other speakers. For the benefit of the committee in producing its report on the back of these sessions on the Arterial Drainage Act 1945, the biodiversity action plan, as Dr. Ó Cinnéide said, does not go as far as calling for a review, whereas the citizens' assembly does do so. Any time I have even tried to broach this subject, my experience has been one where the topic has...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Dangerous Dog Breeds and Sheep Worrying: Discussion (1 Feb 2023)

Lynn Boylan: ...dangerous breeds list and for certain breeds to be banned. As Ms Creedon said, crossbreeds can be hard to identify. I have a couple of questions. In her opening statement she said that the dog does not behave aggressively because of its breed but, instead, because it is a product of its environment. Does that include the environment into which the dog was born? One of my concerns is...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Energy Policy (18 May 2021)

Lynn Boylan: ...;1 billion in compensation. Much like the HSE hackers, Vermilion, Rockhopper and Uniper show there is no length to which these companies will not go to protect their interests, no matter the damage that does to the public good. We know what needs to be done to avert climate change. Companies will have to leave fossil fuels unburned, and the public should not be left carrying the cost of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Carbon Budgets: Engagement with the Climate Change Advisory Council (7 Dec 2021)

Lynn Boylan: ...point that LNG terminals do not increase security and it is a bit of a non-argument in terms of energy security. It would be different if she had a different view on the infrastructure and so on. Does she support the view that LNG does not necessarily increase energy security?
