Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committee Meetings (13 Jul 2016)

Eamon Ryan: It is very appropriate that there is a presentation in the audiovisual room given by the officials involved in the national planning framework. It has been timed very well for us to start showing leadership on climate change. If we can lead with that planning framework, thinking long-term, and if we think to, say, 2030, 2040 or 2050, we know one thing for certain. We know very little about...

Ceisteanna - Questions: UK Referendum on EU Membership (13 Jul 2016)

Eamon Ryan: Will the Taoiseach consider establishing a forum on Anglo-Irish relations outside the North-South Ministerial Council and outside any veto that any party might have within it? It is the sort of forum we need, like the Forum for Europe, the Forum for Peace and Reconciliation or the New Ireland Forum. It is vital we have some sort of place where we can think about this in a certain way. Will...

Regulation of Charities: Motion [Private Members] (12 Jul 2016)

Eamon Ryan: I wish the Leas-Cheann Comhairle the best of luck in his new role and hope he spends an entertaining and long time in the Chair. I commend my colleagues in the Social Democrats on framing and presenting this motion. It is important that we reflect on the regulation of the charity sector. We must try to restore public confidence in a sector that has been badly damaged by revelations of...

Private Members' Business - Broadband Service Provision: Motion [Private Members] (6 Jul 2016)

Eamon Ryan: This is a complex area of policy. It is not easy. I wish the Minister the best of luck because we need a good outcome. We need good broadband everywhere to lift our economy. I think this should go back to committee. We should sit down and go through the real detail and look at what the different options are, because the complexity is extensive. There is a slight difference between...

European Council Meeting: Statements (5 Jul 2016)

Eamon Ryan: Does the Minister agree with his party colleague Brian Hayes, MEP, that if people seek to change our corporation tax rules, we should follow the UK out the door and leave the EU? I asked a question earlier about the role of the Parliament or Commission in the new relationship. The Taoiseach made it very clear that we must follow the European Council, but what is the role of the...

European Council Meeting: Statements (5 Jul 2016)

Eamon Ryan: What about the role of the Parliament in the new relationship?

European Council Meeting: Statements (5 Jul 2016)

Eamon Ryan: God bless the citizens of the United Kingdom because at the moment it seems clear they are lions led by donkeys. It is not like "A Midsummer Night's Dream" but a midsummer night's nightmare. Some of the characters involved are like the characters of that Shakespeare play. Thinking of Boris Johnson, who could play Bottom, never have the lines been so apt, "I see their knavery: this is to...

Order of Business (5 Jul 2016)

Eamon Ryan: I listened to Deputy Moynihan read out the business, but I was not certain that it included a possible debate on the Ibrahim Halawa case. I know from a meeting earlier that there is a hope to hold that debate. Do we have to amend the Order of Business tomorrow morning to make that happen?

Order of Business (5 Jul 2016)

Eamon Ryan: That is the way we will do it.

Leaders' Questions (30 Jun 2016)

Eamon Ryan: What I hear from the Minister's response is that he has no new initiatives. He has no different plan, even three or four days after this latest setback. In the interim, we have still been doing trade deals with Egypt, as if there were no problem. I suggest that we start to raise this at a higher level, at European level. This is the sort of issue in respect of which we should be putting...

Leaders' Questions (30 Jun 2016)

Eamon Ryan: This time three years ago, a young man from Finglas had just done his leaving certificate and was thinking of going to Spain - Magaluf or wherever - with his friends. We all know this type of scenario. Instead, he accompanied his sisters to Egypt. They went there on a regular basis because they had cousins in Egypt. They got caught up in the protests of the time. My 17 year old son would...

Single Resolution Board (Loan Facility Agreement) Bill 2016: Second Stage (Resumed) (29 Jun 2016)

Eamon Ryan: It seems to me that one of the unsatisfactory elements of the inquiry, which did its work in a professional and proper manner, was that after the publication of its report, full disclosure of all the necessary and relevant documents that were furnished to it throughout the process did not take place. I refer to the written submissions that were made to the inquiry team, such as memos from...

Single Resolution Board (Loan Facility Agreement) Bill 2016: Second Stage (Resumed) (29 Jun 2016)

Eamon Ryan: If Deputy Donnelly joins us, I will share my time with him. He may have been caught out by the early end to the previous debate. I support the Bill before us. I realise it is largely technical in nature, but it provides an opportunity for consideration of the wider banking strategy in which we are engaged. I am happy to support something that arises from the lessons learnt from the...

Energy Bill 2016 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed) (29 Jun 2016)

Eamon Ryan: We have a choice. We can say goodbye to Northern Ireland and the hope of a united Ireland, an all-island electricity market and all the benefits that would bring, savings to the South as well as the North, but it is that choice that we will have in the next year or two.
