Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Offshore Renewable Industry Forum and Ireland’s Offshore Wind Industry: Discussion (15 Jun 2022)

David Stanton: The potential here is enormous. That comes across from the witnesses' passion. I ask Mr. Ivers and Ms O'Connell to tell us a little about their companies, what they do and what their ambition is. I would like to give them the opportunity while they are here, if the Chair does not mind, to give an idea of what they do. Mr. Ivers said he has feet on the ground. What are the witnesses doing...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Energy Policy (2 Jun 2022)

David Stanton: I am a big supporter of green hydrogen, off-shore wind, biomass and so on. The faster we can move in that direction, the better.

The Minister, Deputy McGrath, told me earlier this week that there is a...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Youth Services (2 Jun 2022)

David Stanton: This has to do with youth services. I realise the great work going on in this regard and the funding the Minister has made available, but one of the issues youth services have raised with me is the need to have minibuses to bring young people from A to B. Is there any funding stream that could be used to assist with something like this?

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Youth Services (2 Jun 2022)

David Stanton: I support what the Minister is saying. Many school buses are used during the day by schools and in the evening by youth services. Maybe synergies could be considered in this regard. When I was a Minister of State, I was involved with the youth justice strategy, which referred to integrating services and maximising the benefits, as the Minister has said. I support him in the work he is...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Housing Provision (1 Jun 2022)

David Stanton: I thank the Minister of State for her response. I highlight again, however, that these applications were submitted in February, some four months ago now. I am told that some clarifications were required regarding the applications, but it is still strange that it is taking this long for approval to be given. This is another delay, and I hope the process will be completed soon. What does...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Housing Provision (1 Jun 2022)
