Victor Boyhan: That would be great.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Social and Affordable Housing: Discussion (22 Mar 2022)
Victor Boyhan: It would be great to have both.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Social and Affordable Housing: Discussion (22 Mar 2022)
Victor Boyhan: It would be great to have both sets of data in a spreadsheet. We could get a sense or a feel about it.
- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Road Network (10 Mar 2022)
Victor Boyhan: Thank you, a Leas-Chathaoirligh, for selecting this Commencement matter. I welcome the Minister of State to the House. I do not know how much he knows about the eastern bypass but I will take him through some of it and my understanding of it. The Dublin eastern bypass, or the Dublin Bay motorway, as it was called, was a proposal originally considered and drafted in 1971. That is a hell of...
- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Road Network (10 Mar 2022)
Victor Boyhan: I thank the Minister of State. The key point in his reply is that the review found that "the need for the scheme, as originally intended, was no longer justified". In addition, the strategic assessment report concluded that the eastern bypass had limited benefits for the M50. Those two factors were the reasons the scheme was originally proposed. I agree with the Minister of State on those...

- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (9 Mar 2022)
Victor Boyhan: I join with others in thanking my colleague and friend, Senator Keogan, for organising the coffee morning. It was fantastic. It was great to see such diversity, different backgrounds and different traditions, all together. It is important to acknowledge that. I ask the Leader for a debate at some point on the Children's Rights Alliance Report Card 2022. I want to dwell on the positives...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: CRISPR-Cas9 Gene Editing: Discussion (9 Mar 2022)
Victor Boyhan: I thank our guests for attending. I do not think four doctors have ever appeared together before an Oireachtas agriculture committee. That does not mean we are daunted by them; we are an incorrigible bunch. There has been much bad publicity about this issue in the past. There is no Green Party member of the committee in attendance at the moment, although perhaps he is attending remotely....
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: CRISPR-Cas9 Gene Editing: Discussion (9 Mar 2022)
Victor Boyhan: I want to also ask about herbicide intolerance under this technology, which is a frightening thought for some. In many ways, I can see the benefits of controlling herbicides and it is clearly better than spraying all the bits and pieces. Will Dr. Doyle Prestwich explain that technology because there are people listening in here and those who will be looking at “Oireachtas...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: CRISPR-Cas9 Gene Editing: Discussion (9 Mar 2022)
Victor Boyhan: It is not to confuse matters.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: CRISPR-Cas9 Gene Editing: Discussion (9 Mar 2022)
Victor Boyhan: I accept that but there is confusion. They are conflated and people say that, so there is a lot of explaining to do.

Victor Boyhan: I thank the witnesses. That is very helpful.
- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Food Industry (8 Mar 2022)
Victor Boyhan: I thank the Minister of State, Deputy Brophy, for coming to the House today for Commencement matters. It is appreciated. I call on Senator Hoey who has a Commencement matter on the International Dublin Gay Theatre Festival 2022.
- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: An Garda Síochána (8 Mar 2022)
Victor Boyhan: I thank the Minister of State for that very comprehensive reply.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Urban and Rural Regeneration: Discussion (Resumed) (8 Mar 2022)
Victor Boyhan: I thank the witnesses for their opening statements and acknowledge the enormous work that has been done. Project Ireland 2040 sets ambitious targets and goals for making Ireland a better country for all. I like that "for all". We tended not to have the same distribution across the country. I also see echoing through the statements today local and regional ambition and, ultimately,...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Urban and Rural Regeneration: Discussion (Resumed) (8 Mar 2022)
Victor Boyhan: I thank our guests for their presentations. I started my earlier contribution by talking about local and regional ambition and national impact. I acknowledge the amazing input of our guests. They are, dare I say it, members of the permanent Civil Service. They know what is going on and we are fortunate to have people like them at the helm. There is, however, a disconnect between our...
