- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Briefing on Current and Future Plans for the School Building Unit: Department of Education (31 Jan 2023)
Carol Nolan: I thank the Chair and thank the Department officials for their briefing. I am going to be brief and precise with my question. It relates to autism spectrum disorder, ASD, units. I understand Ms Mannion's section is heading that up and co-ordinating things but as a local elected representative in Laois-Offaly I am getting some concerns from schools that feel things are not happening quickly...

- Forestry Strategy: Statements (26 Jan 2023)
Carol Nolan: The land grab and shameful deal between Gresham House holdings and Coillte is an insult to people the length and breadth of this island. It is yet again another attack on our sovereignty as a republic. A halt should be called to this deal without delay. I ask the Minister of State to do the right thing. People have expressed serious concern right across the party spectrum. The Minister...
- Forestry Strategy: Statements (26 Jan 2023)
Carol Nolan: The Minister of State need not put her hands in the air. I expect her to come back with a good answer as to why she is treating people this way, along with the Minister, who is an absolute disgrace and could not answer any of the questions I asked him during last night's meeting of the Joint Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine. The statement goes on to say that Irish taxpayers'...
- Inshore Fishing: Motion [Private Members] (25 Jan 2023)
Carol Nolan: I hope this motion will generate cross-party support across this House. We know the sector needs protection and it certainly needs its unanswered calls answered, however late in the day it may be. I commend my colleague, Deputy Collins, for all his work and the passion and leadership he has shown with regard to having fishermen's and fisherwomen's issues addressed in this House. It is high...
- Inshore Fishing: Motion [Private Members] (25 Jan 2023)

Carol Nolan: All we have to do is look at our forestry.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forestry Policy and Strategy: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (25 Jan 2023)
Carol Nolan: I appreciate the Chair letting me contribute. I strongly oppose this land grab, which is exactly what it is. I am very concerned about this and I am concerned about the Minister's words. I have sat here through this entire meeting and the statements this evening. The Minister is saying it is not the preferred deal, as did the Taoiseach. They are sharing the same script, obviously. If...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forestry Policy and Strategy: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (25 Jan 2023)
Carol Nolan: I did and I was stunned, as he spoke about leadership. I heard Senator Boyhan clearly. The Minister spoke about leadership. SEEFA is one organisation to which I ask the Minister to give serious consideration. To return to that piece, I was using the metaphor of "signing" as in, did he give full approval to Coillte, verbal or in any other manner, or did he express any concerns when Coillte...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forestry Policy and Strategy: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (25 Jan 2023)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forestry Policy and Strategy: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (25 Jan 2023)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forestry Policy and Strategy: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (25 Jan 2023)
Carol Nolan: That is uncalled for. I was listening quite clearly to the Minister but I will continue to challenge him until he answers the questions.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forestry Policy and Strategy: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (25 Jan 2023)
Carol Nolan: Is that our agriculture sector or a foreign entity coming in? What happens in that situation?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forestry Policy and Strategy: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (25 Jan 2023)
Carol Nolan: Should it not be put in place before this deal goes ahead?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forestry Policy and Strategy: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (25 Jan 2023)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forestry Policy and Strategy: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (25 Jan 2023)
Carol Nolan: I am concerned about farmers. The Minister should have done more and shown more leadership when it came to the calculation of emissions. He did not show leadership on that. I asked the Minister particular questions about which organisations he has met. He was condescending and ran down the new organisations. The Minister came in as a new Minister. Would he like it people adopted that...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forestry Policy and Strategy: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (25 Jan 2023)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forestry Policy and Strategy: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (25 Jan 2023)
Carol Nolan: I did not agree with punishing farming families and that is why I voted against that Bill. The Minister did not do enough and there was not enough in his policies.
