Claire Kerrane: I thank all the officials for coming in this morning and Ms Nic Aongusa for her opening statement. I have only two questions. The first relates to the policy document itself.

We can tell from the engagements we have had how important this policy is to people who live on the islands and what...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Transport Infrastructure Ireland Projects and Related Issues: Discussion (6 Apr 2022)

Claire Kerrane: That is fine; I will not even need it. Some of this might be slightly repetitive so the witnesses might bear with me. I live off the N5 Ballaghaderreen to Scramoge road.

That road is also dangerous in a number of spots and...

There is a very...

Claire Kerrane: What is the status of the forthcoming progress report? I acknowledge it is published and I read it with great interest. I will raise two aspects of the report. It has many references to the acceleration of broadband and also refers to the success of the remote working hubs, with which I entirely agree. There are two matters. One relates to the ability to accelerate the broadband...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Departmental Strategies (5 Apr 2022)

Claire Kerrane: It is welcome to see so many of those actions either delivered or well under way. I welcome that. I will speak on two aspects of that progress report, in particular.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Departmental Strategies (5 Apr 2022)

That is welcome because we will need someone within the local authorities to focus on this and drive the Town Centre First policy, which is a good policy. If it does what it is supposed to, it will make a significant...
