Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Aviation Policy (Resumed): Regional Airports (15 Feb 2023)

Gerry Horkan: I might stop you, not just because it is 4.30 p.m. To be fair - the Deputy was not here for all of the debate - they did a very good job defending all of their existences, and I do not think they have time to do it.

I look forward to...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (14 Feb 2023)

Gerry Horkan: I thank the Leader for the business she outlined today. I am happy to agree to it. I was not in the Chamber on Wednesday last week because I was attending the funeral of former Senator, Minister and Deputy Niamh Bhreathnach. I wish to put on the record my sympathies to her family, friends and colleagues in the Labour Party. I served for almost 11 years with Niamh on Dún...

Seanad: Communications Regulation and Digital Hub Development Agency (Amendment) Bill 2022: Committee and Remaining Stages (14 Feb 2023)

Gerry Horkan: I thank the Minister of State. I thought I said that we might reflect on what was being said. Last time, I had about one and a half minutes to speak but clearly it was an impactful one and a half or thereabouts two minutes. I thank the Minister of State for taking it on board. I felt that the phrase “high-risk” was insulting. It was inappropriate in legislation. While we...
