Ruairí Ó Murchú: It is lying in a straight line.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Aviation Policy: Aer Lingus (Resumed) (14 Dec 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: It is the most obvious win if it could be delivered. On sustainable aviation fuel, SAF, the witnesses talked about the study they are engaged in, which is looking at long-term technological advances. We are probably talking about post-2030 developments. What needs to happen beforehand in order to have an adequate SAF? In fairness, Michael O'Leary has set out what he would like to see....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Aviation Policy: Aer Lingus (Resumed) (14 Dec 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: My last question relates to the regional strategy. There has been a lot of discussion on that issue today and it is not the first time we have discussed it. Willie Walsh and Michael O'Leary have put forward the view that Cork and Shannon airports, in particular, can do business but that such business cannot be by way of displacement from Dublin. Dublin is the hub. Point-to-point provision...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Aviation Policy: Aer Lingus (Resumed) (14 Dec 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: It is possible, however, to connect to another hub.

Appropriation Bill 2022: Second Stage (13 Dec 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I think it is fair to say housing is the single biggest issue any of us as constituency Deputies need to deal with. No matter the result decided here today, the fact is that there is no confidence outside, in the wider world, among the people I deal with and, I assume, the people many of my colleagues across this Chamber deal with in the present Government being able to deliver on housing....

Written Answers — Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment: Departmental Meetings (13 Dec 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: 88. To ask the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if he will outline the engagement that he, along with his Department and the IDA, have had with the State’s tech sector in the past three months; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [62055/22]

Written Answers — Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth: International Protection (13 Dec 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: 465. To ask the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth if he will outline the process by which a company (details supplied) was awarded an IPAS accommodation contract that necessitates the eviction of refugees and asylum seekers from the accommodation in order that the accommodation can be 'upgraded' in order to meet the requirements of the new IPAS contract; if he...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism: Autism Policy and Assistive Technology: Ms Carmel Ryan and Mr. Fiacre Ryan (13 Dec 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I thank Ms Ryan and Fiacre. I followed this committee before I landed in it. We have had a fair opportunity at these committee hearings to hear from outliers. I commend and congratulate it on that. I think the witnesses have sold the idea of RPM. We are not talking about a huge amount of money but rather a pittance in real terms. We are talking about a computer or device and a number...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism: Autism Policy and Assistive Technology: Ms Carmel Ryan and Mr. Fiacre Ryan (13 Dec 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I thank Ms Ryan and Mr. Ryan. That makes complete sense.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism: Autism Policy and Assistive Technology: Ms Carmel Ryan and Mr. Fiacre Ryan (13 Dec 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: It was actually brilliant to watch on a particular level. The notion I get is the fact of the frustration when kids have a difficulty in expressing themselves, but especially when a person is completely locked away and has no chance of expression. We can see how Ms Ryan has provided Fiacre with a roadmap to express himself and to be part of society. It has enabled him to get into third...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism: Autism Policy and Assistive Technology: Ms Carmel Ryan and Mr. Fiacre Ryan (13 Dec 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: It looks like we will not have the sort of numbers we need in that pipeline. We are looking at four or five years down the line, which is fine for then, but we need the baling-twine solution in the short term.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism: Autism Policy and Assistive Technology: Ms Carmel Ryan and Mr. Fiacre Ryan (13 Dec 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I thank Ms Ryan and Fiacre.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism: Autism Policy and Employment: Discussion (13 Dec 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I thank all the witnesses for coming before the committee. This is a vital part of putting the jigsaw for autistic people together. We have all seen the real wins for society, for the autistic person, and for their wider family if they can make the moves. We have all talked about the cliff edge that relates to adult services in particular. We all know the nightmare it is at the minute...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism: Autism Policy and Employment: Discussion (13 Dec 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: When it was brought to my attention, I wanted to put in on the agenda.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism: Autism Policy and Employment: Discussion (13 Dec 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: It is seems to be low cost. I have probably been sold on that to a degree and have seen examples of assistive technologies that make complete sense here for those with autism or for those with disabilities and even in some cases for those who do not fall under those brackets but just to make life and work just far more effective for all involved. As Mr. Brabazon says, he will be dealing...
