Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Estimates for Public Services 2017: Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment (27 Sep 2017)

Eamon Ryan: I thank the Vice Chairman. The Minister said at the start that these sessions are designed to rattle a Minister. To be perfectly honest, I am rattled at this moment. I came in reasonably okay but I had to send an emergency text to my office looking for some headache pills. I am with Deputy Dooley. My head is full of images of boreens, buses, filing cabinets and hot desks.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Estimates for Public Services 2017: Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment (27 Sep 2017)

Eamon Ryan: East Galway is ahead of New York and South Tipperary is ahead of South Korea. I mean, come on. I had this vision that we would provide fibre to every home. Every house has an electricity wire attached and every house has a phone line pretty much attached. I thought to myself can we not make that leap in order that every house would have a fibre connection, and maybe competition between...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Estimates for Public Services 2017: Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment (27 Sep 2017)

Eamon Ryan: I apologise for having to go out to take a call. I would like to support Senator McDowell. The report we have to compile will be important. I think there was consensus at the beneficial event we held in Dublin Castle. RTE is doing an important job. Local radio and print media also need support. Indigenous media are facing real problems in the digital environment that is being created....

Flooding in County Donegal: Motion [Private Members] (26 Sep 2017)

Eamon Ryan: I am. I will finish in 30 seconds. I know the River Flesk well. I swam in it many's the day. It is a beautiful river. We need to protect the rivers in Killarney. However, the best approach is not to build anything on the historical flood plains as we have done, which was an incredible mistake; rather, it is to let the natural river systems work. If we think we can beat nature by...

Flooding in County Donegal: Motion [Private Members] (26 Sep 2017)

Eamon Ryan: I might come back to Deputy Healy-Rae's points but first, it is absolutely right that we are discussing flooding and what happened in Donegal this summer. We should also think outside that box and think of the people of Puerto Rico tonight. One week on from the hurricane that hit the island, there are one million people who do not have power. It is 90° there, if Members can imagine...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (26 Sep 2017)

Eamon Ryan: I suggest, Acting Chairman, that we might give the Taoiseach a bit of leeway in terms of the amount of time he will have to respond because each of the issues are hugely complex and not insignificant. Could the Taoiseach report on the conversation he had with the Catholic Church in this instance in respect of the changes - announced four days ago - Education and Training Boards Ireland...

Order of Business (26 Sep 2017)

Eamon Ryan: It is three years since the previous Government set up a working group to report on the asylum process and how we could fix and change it.

It is...

Wind Turbine Regulation Bill 2016: Second Stage [Private Members] (21 Sep 2017)

Eamon Ryan: I agree with Deputy Jan O'Sullivan that this is an area where things keep changing. It is full of uncertainties. I commend Deputy Stanley on his Bill and I understand that his motives are right and while there are many elements of it that I support, I cannot support the Bill. I will explain in detail the reason. The one thing that is fixed is the physical atmosphere we operate in and...
