Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Equality Budgeting: Discussion with the National Women's Council of Ireland (12 Jul 2017)

Eamon Ryan: Ms Allen stated that the National Women's Council of Ireland is very keen to try to represent those people who, for a variety of reasons, want to concentrate on that caring role. As I stated, the individualised tax system very much discriminates against it. There are no two ways about that and in recent budgets we have not done anything about it. What would the council suggest for the 2018...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (12 Jul 2017)

Eamon Ryan: I share Deputy Boyd Barrett's concern about CETA. To take a specific example, the concern is that it does not protect the environmental standards we need desperately to enforce. One can say one thing but do another. The Taoiseach said that many of his discussions with Prime Minister Trudeau concerned the issue of climate change. Whatever the spin may be, I am afraid my understanding is...

Waste Reduction Bill 2017: Second Stage [Private Members] (11 Jul 2017)

Eamon Ryan: I echo Deputy Howlin's comments. I thank him and his colleagues in the Labour Party because what they did tonight in giving their time in this way is important. I know there has been much discussion on how we work here. I stand up for this Parliament. I stood up for it in the past and I stand up for it today. We are not a bad democratic assembly. We have a proud constitutional and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Pre-legislative Scrutiny of the General Scheme of the Broadcasting (Amendment) Bill 2017 and Retransmission Fees: Discussion (11 Jul 2017)

Eamon Ryan: I thank the witnesses for the presentation. I echo the opinion that the forum on Friday was useful in advance of this discussion. I also echo Deputy Dooley's comments as a certain sense of urgency comes from this, certainly from the members of the committee who were present. There is a lot that is good in our broadcasting system and we want to protect it. It was suggested that we should...

Eamon Ryan: I do not wish to go into the issue of sensitivity, but can Ms McCabe give us an idea of the process for a cable network? How frequently does RTE negotiate? Is it a block for several years?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Pre-legislative Scrutiny of the General Scheme of the Broadcasting (Amendment) Bill 2017 and Retransmission Fees: Discussion (11 Jul 2017)

Eamon Ryan: An interesting thing for me came out of the forum. I have a simple thought in terms of how we pinch this investment in broadcasting - although "broadcasting" is the wrong word because we are referring to media. One of the strongest arguments coming out of our event forum on Friday was that this is an industrial development strategy. This is because we want to be good in the independent...

There are real questions from the Opposition side about what is going on here. Are there specific developments that the Government wants to support and see built?

Order of Business (11 Jul 2017)
