Covid-19 (Transport): Statements (13 May 2020)

Brendan Howlin: The problem is that capacity will be vastly diminished if there is social distancing in the rural transport system. Who is going to provide the extra vehicles? Who is going to cover the cost of running larger vehicles with reduced capacity? That is going to be much more expensive. My third question relates to getting goods and services to market. Will there be a quarantine on people...

Covid-19 (Transport): Statements (13 May 2020)

Covid-19 (Transport): Statements (13 May 2020)

Brendan Howlin: I welcome the Minster. This unprecedented pandemic has stood much of our thinking on transport on its head. Three months ago, a single occupied vehicle in this city would have been frowned upon and, in fact, actively discouraged. Our investment in transport was to be concentrated on mass transport systems, transporting as many people as possible, as closely and densely packed as possible....

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (13 May 2020)

Brendan Howlin: Most of us were taken by surprise when we saw this on the Order Paper to be taken without debate. Those of us who lived through the period when this report was commissioned and so on understand how fraught an era that was. It would be useful to have a more considered period before the report is withdrawn. Perhaps the Ceann Comhairle could inform the House, from a procedural point of view,...

Brexit: Statements (7 May 2020)

Brendan Howlin: The latter part of the question is whether we will have a democratic debate about these plans. Are they being marshalled below the political waterline? I have one more question. In terms of the Belfast office, I understand the Minister does not want to make it a big issue but the issue is a surprise for most of us when it was an accepted fact up to recent times. Is there any logical...
