Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (13 Feb 2018)

Eamon Ryan: Last March, the Taoiseach's predecessor invited President Trump to Ireland. The Taoiseach said at the time that he was not sure what purpose it would serve and that he would not invite him. However, we now understand that as Taoiseach, he will continue the invitation. If President Trump were to come to Ireland, has the Taoiseach's protocol unit looked at the possibility or is it advising...

Order of Business (13 Feb 2018)

Eamon Ryan: Schools admission was raised earlier. In Dublin 2, 4, 6 and 8, certain schools are cherry-picking academic-only students and everybody knows that if there is a special needs child who might be able to attend secondary school, he or she is clearly directed to other schools. These students do not necessarily need a special autism unit but could use individual supports. There is a two-tier...

In terms of the officials not being able to say anything,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: National Broadband Plan: Discussion (8 Feb 2018)

Eamon Ryan: It was not a new approach. Eir had made the approach on previous occasions. As the Minister said, it was public in terms of Deputy Ó Cuív and others. In the correspondence, the Minister says that it was not a political decision but a commercial decision. He said that he could not interfere under state aid rules and had to just accept it. The state aid rules argument falls apart...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): World Economic Forum (7 Feb 2018)

Eamon Ryan: Almost exactly ten years ago in Davos, the start of the 2008 financial crisis was already rolling out. Has anything changed in the last ten years? Has the business model or economic model changed in any way? Have we learned anything from that crash? There appears to be a stock market bubble again and there is a property bubble in this country. Economic growth across the world is booming...
