Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (25 Nov 2020)

Seán Kyne: We saw the photographs yesterday from Kent when queues of trucks built up after the French started a trial of post-Brexit checks.

There have been warnings of queues of up to 7,000 lorries post Brexit. The French were rehearsing post-Brexit immigration...

Seán Kyne: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Dr. Walsh agus cuirim fáilte roimhe. Tá cúpla ceist agam. Dúirt sé go mbeidh sé dúshlánach an spriocdháta de 2030 a bhaint amach. Tá an chuid is mó de dhaoine le Gaeilge ar an eolas anois faoin spriocdháta seo, ach níl a fhios agam an bhfuil chuile dhuine eile sa tír ar an eolas faoi. An...

Seán Kyne: Tá ceist agam maidir leis an méid sin. Luaigh an Dr. Walsh an méid a tharla 20 bliain ó shin nuair a bunaíodh Teilifís na Gaeilge agus an feachtas a bhí ina haghaidh. Tá i bhfad níos mó Gaelscoileanna anois trasna na tíre ná mar a bhí 20 bliain ó shin. An gceapann an Dr. Walsh go bhfuil níos mó grá ag...

Seanad: Health Insurance (Amendment) Bill 2020: Second Stage (24 Nov 2020)

Seán Kyne: I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Feighan. It is safe to say that the fundamental purpose of this Bill can be summed up in one word, "fairness". As we know and accept, fairness is of great importance in any sector and certainly in the health sector. As others have said, the Oireachtas now passes legislation of this kind annually but it is very important nonetheless. It allows for...

Seán Kyne: I welcome the Minister of State who is dealing with his second Bill this evening, the Finance (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2020, which like the previous Bill is somewhat technical in nature. The Minister of State spoke about allowing for an additional term for members of the five-member Irish Fiscal Advisory Council, which makes perfect sense. Would he agree that five members is a low...

Seanad: Flooding: Statements (18 Nov 2020)

Seán Kyne: I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy O'Donovan, to the Chamber and thank him for his work to date in the OPW. I acknowledge the professionalism and work ethic of the OPW in a very important area of defence - a quite technical area in terms of the modelling that is required, which needs to be updated. If one makes an impact on one area, one must model how it will affect another. I...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children's Hospital (18 Nov 2020)

Seán Kyne: I thank the witnesses for their presentations. I was listening to them in my office and I heard most of the deliberations. There has been a long history and saga with this project but it is heartening to see the photographic evidence the witnesses have presented on the progress where we can see the physical size of the project and the progress over the past year with the heights of the...

Is sárjab atá ann. Nuair a bhí mé i mo sheanphost...
