Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Departmental Funding (20 Jun 2024)

Heather Humphreys: ..., which is a great example of where a community came together and assisted many Ukrainian refugees who came there. I was down there recently and it is a wonderful success story. They were able to tap into the community recognition fund, develop their pitches and sporting facilities and do different things, the same as in the Deputy's constituency. There is loads of good work going on...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Circular Economy as it relates to Consumer Durables: Discussion (18 Jun 2024)

Ms Claire Downey: The first thing with textiles is that we need to turn off the tap. We have a very high consumption level and we need to tackle that. There is good work on behavioural insights which we hope to add to through the communications excellence programme, to understand what is going on, why consumption levels are so high and how we can intervene to try to address that. That is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Current Progress and Future Projections of Uisce Éireann Objectives: Uisce Éireann (18 Jun 2024) See 1 other result from this debate

Pádraig O'Sullivan: ...I would say Deputy Gould will speak to the issue of water quality in Cork city. Uisce Éireann is obviously aware of the ongoing problem in that regard. The quality of water coming through people's taps varies, to put it mildly. People cannot drink it at the best of times. They cannot wash in it. They cannot really use it at all. To be fair to Irish Water locally, we met its...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Departmental Bodies (13 Jun 2024)

...of when they think of wool. They probably just think of a woolly jumper that is slightly itchy, but there is much more potential in this regard. The challenge is that although that potential has been tapped in other countries and jurisdictions, it has not yet attracted that investment in Ireland. What we are ultimately trying to achieve here is a demand for the products which can come...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Greenhouse Gas Emissions (13 Jun 2024)

Charlie McConalogue: ...the use of chemical fertiliser, which is phenomenal progress and we are holding that progress to a significant degree. The Deputy is right that, as we saw with moving away from cash to increased tap-and-go in how we paid for things during Covid, the increase in fertiliser costs due to the Ukraine war and the impact on supply chains have accelerated a change and an adaptation which was...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (13 Jun 2024)

Tim Lombard: ...quality still has not improved. There is need for significant debate on how we can actually improve the water quality here and how long it will take to so. Is it a quick fix? Can we just turn of the tap and have it solved straight away or is it going to take a period of time for nitrates levels in the water to decline? My major fear here is that we could have an industry destroyed...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Programmes (12 Jun 2024)

Mick Barry: ...Examiner reviewed the Cork city north-west ward on May 31 and included in its report the line "Big issues also include housing and rents, and - surprisingly in a modern city - delivery of clean tap water." It certainly proved to be an issue in the election. It came up at door after door. There was the man who had to lift his ten-year-old boy up to the sink to wash him with bottled water...

Seanad: Address to Seanad Éireann by Former President Mary Robinson (12 Jun 2024)

Lisa Chambers: ...company, ESB Networks, is investing in an offshore floating project in the UK, not in Ireland. Why is that? We also have a massive fund in the REPowerEU platform at a European level that we can tap into but we are not doing that, whereas France is. We need to start talking about green opportunities and give hope. Mrs. Robinson mentioned the recent elections. What people are saying...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Impact of Single Means Test and Experience of Universal Credit System in the United Kingdom: Discussion (12 Jun 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: ...or forget about it. Many people can get into Facebook and such forums but they do not want to do business digitally. There is a difference. The simplest digital thing that most people can do is tap a payment on their phones, or get money out of an ATM. However, that does not mean they are going to go on a computer and do much more complex operations such as making tax returns,...

Seanad: Employment Permits Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (28 May 2024)

Alice-Mary Higgins: ...examine this issue carefully, to look at how it is panning out and to ensure that we do not create a tool for inequality in the workplace, and that we do not treat human beings as if they are simply a tap we can turn on and off rather than the people who are helping us to build a nation collectively. This is really important. On the seasonal piece, we have seen how it has been exploited...

Victor Boyhan: ...family of Sir Anthony O'Reilly. His funeral will take place this morning in Donnybrook church. As we all know, he was the engine, the genius, behind Kerrygold in the 1960s. He cleverly used and tapped into the Irish diaspora. Through unique marketing techniques, he tapped into the emotional connection to agriculture and rural life in the branding of Kerrygold, the result being that we...

Housing Situation: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (21 May 2024)

Duncan Smith: ...addresses this issue and comes clean about what is happening. The water there is absolutely filthy. This has been going on for more than a year and a half, since 2022. People have reported orange water coming out of their taps. It is not clear if it is being caused by sediment from old cast iron mains being replaced or what the actual cause might be. It is also not clear when this...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Water Services (15 May 2024) See 1 other result from this debate

Malcolm Noonan: ...potable water is better. In many cases, the water quality of municipal supplies is far better than much bottled water that people are buying off the shelves and there is no waste attached to drinking tap water. However, the tap water needs to be of good quality and that is a fundamental right that should be afforded to every citizen in the State. I certainly will bring back the...

Seanad: Gambling Regulation Bill 2022: Second Stage (14 May 2024)

Garret Ahearn: .... It only has electronic payments. Are we essentially saying it would have to go to cash-only payment as opposed to electronic payment? This would mean that people in the restaurant there could not tap to pay. Most people our age and younger use their phone as their wallet. Essentially they would not be able to tap and would have to have cash on them. The real question I have is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Foreign Affairs Council, UN Matters and Individually Tailored Partnership Programme with NATO: Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs (14 May 2024)

Micheál Martin: Just hear me out for a second now. That was in the middle of the bush and that gave water on tap to 3,000 villagers. It was not on tap in their individual huts but in the square that serviced 3,000 people. A consequence of that was the girls did not have to lose time in school because it is the girls who traditionally go and collect the water. Now they can go to school as the water is on...

..., trying to get that anecdotal base around the challenges their membership and sectors are facing. That would then feed to us in company law and our policy responses. In company law, we try to tap into those forums within the Department to make sure our policy is informed by the challenges we hear they are facing on the ground. However, actually collating the data is difficult. I would...
