Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Flood Relief Schemes (23 Apr 2024)

Catherine Connolly: The figure has increased, therefore, from €9.5 million to €50 million.

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Flood Relief Schemes (23 Apr 2024)

Catherine Connolly: The process started in 2012, and when I left the council in 2016, it was finishing the process of identifying the flood risks. We are now in 2024 and all the stages have gone by the board. Instead of construction starting in 2026, a planning application is now going to be submitted in 2027. I do not think the Minister of State could be happy with that, given Galway city is flooded...

Acknowledgement and Apology to the Families and to the Victims of the Stardust Tragedy: Statements (23 Apr 2024)

Catherine Connolly: I think I am the final contributor. The Taoiseach gave a fulsome address and apology, which is to be welcomed. However, this apology will only be meaningful if it determines the next steps and if it examines how we got into this position. The Taoiseach has talked about how the institutions of the State let the people down. They did a lot more than that; they actively contrived to prevent...

Citizens' Assembly Report on Biodiversity Loss: Motion (18 Apr 2024)

Catherine Connolly: A haystack. Something as practical as this that should be treasured. It is the old road from Menlo into Galway. We have decarbonisation zones but there is no money for them. We have the climate action plans but they are not funded. All of the local authorities are under-funded and under-resourced. I am extremely critical of management. Staff are underfunded, under-resourced and...

I thank the Chair of the committee and the...
