Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (30 May 2019)

Brendan Howlin: Unusually, my question is not exclusively for the Government. The Leas-Cheann Comhairle might help with the answer. The Government has the largest bloc of Deputies in the House. I am wondering if it has given any consideration to the judgment of the Supreme Court yesterday in the Kerins case, its implications for the operation of this House and how we are going to deal with it. I do not...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (30 May 2019)

Brendan Howlin: As a former Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, I know that it will be about having an enormous pot of money, if we are to make these transitions. We are going to have to change the national development plan to ensure the enormous sums we are going to spend in the capital plan will be lockstep with our ambitions to reduce carbon, which we must acknowledge. My questions are...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (30 May 2019)

Brendan Howlin: It is clear to all of us from talking to people on the doorsteps in recent weeks that they want more ambition from all of us in the context of climate change. We have to reduce our carbon emissions by half by 2030, from 60 million tonnes to 33 million tonnes. Not all parts of the economy will transform at the same speed. Some changes are easier to achieve, and for us to envisage. Wind...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí (Atógáil) - Leaders' Questions (Resumed) (28 May 2019)

Brendan Howlin: Again, it is as if the Army has not got a specific case to make. I do not think the Minister is hearing what has been said. Part of the problem is that the Taoiseach has a full-time job as Taoiseach of the country and yet he assigned to himself also the Department of Defence. The Minister of State at the Department of Defence is not an adequate replacement for a Cabinet ministerial role....

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí (Atógáil) - Leaders' Questions (Resumed) (28 May 2019)

Brendan Howlin: I have listened with great care to the response of the Minister taking Leaders’ Questions. I am not sure if she has read the commentary reported in today’s media and listened to the interview on “Morning Ireland”. These are unprecedented criticisms of the Department of Defence and defence policy made by a retiring senior military officer. He described our...
