Brendan Howlin: The ESRI recently published the finding of its macroeconomic study into the possible impact of Brexit, deal or no deal. It is a valuable contribution to our understanding of what might happen to our economy, both in the immediate future and ten years later. It is yet more evidence of the harm that Brexit, whatever form of Brexit ensues, will be for Ireland. The ESRI model finds that...

- Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Taoiseach's Communications (17 Apr 2019)
Brendan Howlin: It is one month since the horrific mosque shootings in New Zealand that shocked all of us from a variety of perspectives. If one had to pick a country where one would expect this type of right wing extremism to happen, New Zealand would be last country to come to mind. This proves that there is nowhere on the planet immune from the perils of such an attack. We in Ireland cannot be...
- Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) (17 Apr 2019)
Brendan Howlin: As others have said, that it is more than two years since the collapse of power-sharing in Northern Ireland. We are all agreed that the Government has a pivotal role to play in facilitating the return of the much needed institutions. Clearly we have some influence over our Government and we have none over the British Government, which has responsibility in that regard. One of the demands...

- Ceisteanna (Atógáil) - Questions (Resumed): Brexit Preparations (17 Apr 2019)
Brendan Howlin: Over the weekend, it was reported that the British Government had stepped down its front-line Brexit preparations. On the basis of what was announced in the newspapers, it appears that those preparations were massive, cost billions of pounds and involved the deployment of thousands of civil servants. If I understand what the Taoiseach has just stated, I agree that we should not be, and...
- Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (17 Apr 2019)
Brendan Howlin: People are once again queuing overnight to be in a position to buy a home. Last year we saw a large group waiting outside a development at Hansfield, in Dublin 15. This was a common feature during the Celtic Tiger era and was often seen as a tactic to drive a frenzy and allow for further price rises, even in the middle of a sale of a group of houses. Last Friday night and into Saturday...

Brendan Howlin: Our view is that everything gathered from carbon taxes should be used to assist those will be impacted by it - not by giving everybody a cheque in the post but by ensuring that the most vulnerable are completely protected. We can do that by ensuring their houses are insulated and they have alternative fuels but that is for another day. On Monday, the International Energy Agency urged the...

Brendan Howlin: The nationalist far right surged in the recent general election in Finland. The tactic of those involved was to promote a whole new level of misinformation and outright lies about climate change and the necessary policies to tackle it. Greenpeace and others have dubbed it Finland's climate election. There has been similar climate scepticism as part of US President Donald Trump's call for...
