Committee on Public Petitions: Consideration of Public Petition on Taking in Charge (Resumed): Tipperary County Council (27 Oct 2022)

Cormac Devlin: Thank you for that, Mr. Lonergan. Deputy Buckley should feel free to come back in if he wants to. I am conscious Senator Murphy is on the line. Does he want to add anything or does he have any questions on this issue?

Committee on Public Petitions: Consideration of Public Petition on Taking in Charge (Resumed): Tipperary County Council (27 Oct 2022)

Cormac Devlin: Thank you, Senator. I will come in on this, if I may. An application for planning was made in 2003 and here we are in 2022, coming into 2023, 20 years later and the DPI issue is still not resolved. I hear what Mr McGrath is saying about 800-odd other DPIs throughout the country and 25 within Tipperary. It is quite scary that this issue has taken the time, not to mention the cost of coming...

Committee on Public Petitions: Consideration of Public Petition on Taking in Charge (Resumed): Tipperary County Council (27 Oct 2022)

Cormac Devlin: I thank Mr. McGrath for that clarification in terms of the six-year period. He is right; it is too long, even at six years. That said, and the fact that there is no possibility of providing a timeframe at this juncture, I am conscious that this issue could rumble on for another year for more. Is there any option of even a partial takeover of other services in the interim while the DPI...

Committee on Public Petitions: Consideration of Public Petition on Taking in Charge (Resumed): Tipperary County Council (27 Oct 2022)

Cormac Devlin: I thank Mr. McGrath. A note would be helpful - certainly in January. if possible - in order to give the committee an indication of how it is progressing. We will take Mr. McGrath up on that offer. On the issue of a partial taking in charge, I do not know if that is one of the interim solutions that could be considered.

Committee on Public Petitions: Consideration of Public Petition on Taking in Charge (Resumed): Tipperary County Council (27 Oct 2022)

Cormac Devlin: That is fair enough. In terms of the taking-in-charge process, which we are probably all familiar with on this committee, maybe there is the potential for those services the council is in control of to be taken in charge. I assume that the latter would not satisfy Mr. Coskeran. However, it would certainly give some comfort to the residents of the five properties if they were in some way...

Committee on Public Petitions: Consideration of Public Petition on Taking in Charge (Resumed): Tipperary County Council (27 Oct 2022)

Cormac Devlin: I thank Mr. McGrath for that. I agreed in his absence that would we have the briefing note and update from Tipperary County Council. However I am looking at our schedule and January would be helpful. We would have a meeting ourselves either on 18 January or 25 January, more probably the 18 January. Will Mr. McGrath commit to providing that update for our meeting on 18 January if that is...

Committee on Public Petitions: Consideration of Public Petition on Taking in Charge (Resumed): Tipperary County Council (27 Oct 2022)

Cormac Devlin: For the purpose of the minutes, depending on what kind of update we receive in January, there was also a proposal to have a joint meeting whereby we would request Irish Water, Tipperary County Council, the Department and the EPA, if required, to attend a joint session here early in the new year.

Cormac Devlin: In fairness to our guests, they all stood. I compliment them on their contributions today. It is not easy. Doireann went first, and it was no bother to her. It is important for all members of the committee to hear the witnesses' voices, ideas and range of experiences. The Cathaoirleach of the Seanad, Senator Mark Daly, welcomed some of the Deputies to the Chamber of the Upper House, but...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Youth Perspectives on the Circular Economy and COP27, including Climate Justice and Energy: Discussion (21 Oct 2022)

Cormac Devlin: The Acting Chairperson referred to Connecting Ireland, very important infrastructure the Government is focused on delivering. Nevertheless, I hear Doireann on the issue of cost, whether from Donegal, Bandon or anywhere else. It is astronomical. We are talking about an additional €10, on top of the €65, as well as the cost to get from the house to the station. It is...
