- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (9 Jul 2019)
Eamon Ryan: I support Deputy Paul Murphy. The Government has treated the Order of Business in this House in a way that is completely undemocratic. The Deputy has cited the example of the Petroleum and Other Minerals Development (Amendment) (Climate Emergency Measures) Bill 2018 which is critical. The Government has used money messages at the end of a lengthy process which involved this House voting to...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: ESB Networks: Commission for Regulation of Utilities (9 Jul 2019)
Eamon Ryan: I thank the witnesses for attending. A friend of mine fell sick last week because he was swimming in Dublin Bay, so he was swimming in sewage. Is that of any interest to the CRU?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: ESB Networks: Commission for Regulation of Utilities (9 Jul 2019)
Eamon Ryan: Why is that of interest?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: ESB Networks: Commission for Regulation of Utilities (9 Jul 2019)
Eamon Ryan: It is an environmental issue rather than an economic issue, and Dr. McGowan says the CRU is an economic regulator.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: ESB Networks: Commission for Regulation of Utilities (9 Jul 2019)
Eamon Ryan: Is it not the same in the energy area?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: ESB Networks: Commission for Regulation of Utilities (9 Jul 2019)
Eamon Ryan: Why is the CRU seeking additional resources to implement the clean energy package?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: ESB Networks: Commission for Regulation of Utilities (9 Jul 2019)
Eamon Ryan: Dr. McGowan stated that the CRU has no interest in environmental issues in its work and that it is just an economic regulator.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: ESB Networks: Commission for Regulation of Utilities (9 Jul 2019)
Eamon Ryan: I do not wish to be rude but I was slightly shocked when I heard the earlier introduction and the corresponding responses. If one is involved in energy policy for any period, this trialogue between environmental protection, competitiveness and security tends to become ingrained in one's head. I have never heard someone in recent years state that he or she just looks at the economic aspect....
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: ESB Networks: Commission for Regulation of Utilities (9 Jul 2019)
Eamon Ryan: To return to the analogy, the CRU is regulating Irish Water and it states that the latter is of interest to it if sewage is going directly into Dublin Bay. When it comes to ESB Networks, however, if this oil fluid is going into the Royal Canal, it is not as much of an interest.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: ESB Networks: Commission for Regulation of Utilities (9 Jul 2019)
Eamon Ryan: It is a different scale but similar in the sense that the crew knew for several years, according to Mr. O'Rourke, that there was an issue with leaking oils into the Royal Canal, the Grand Canal or the Dodder. These are all sensitive locations. Every location is sensitive.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: ESB Networks: Commission for Regulation of Utilities (9 Jul 2019)
Eamon Ryan: Thousands of litres were involved. Did I hear Dr. McGowan state, in answer to a question from Deputy Stanley, that the CRU's role is safety regulator when it comes to the gas network but not when it comes to the electricity network?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: ESB Networks: Commission for Regulation of Utilities (9 Jul 2019)
Eamon Ryan: If I was an ESB member of staff and I had a concern about safety, to whom would I go?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: ESB Networks: Commission for Regulation of Utilities (9 Jul 2019)
Eamon Ryan: Is there a safety risk with 50,000 litres of this hydraulic oil leaking into the watercourses?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: ESB Networks: Commission for Regulation of Utilities (9 Jul 2019)
Eamon Ryan: With regard to the figure of €25.4 million under PR4 - I am not sure of the exact figure - and given that this issue has become public following the RTÉ programme and the CRU has appeared before this committee, is there an estimate of how much has been spent in this PR4 period to date?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: ESB Networks: Commission for Regulation of Utilities (9 Jul 2019)
Eamon Ryan: Has the CRU talked to ESB Networks about this issue?
