We need a railway on that route. We need...

Rónán Mullen: ...you give that is so important, at this time. When I think about the Irish language, I think about something that is very fragile in many ways, especially in this generation. Great steps have been taken, in both jurisdictions, to promote the importance of Irish and the rights of people. Plenty of ground still has to be covered. However, I think of the recent Acht na dTeangacha...

Written Answers — Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport: Electric Vehicles (3 Mar 2022)

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (23 Feb 2022)

Róisín Garvey: The Minister of State and his family are welcome. I wish to raise an issue around the circular economy. The term "circular economy" will become one of those new buzzwords like "climate emergency" and "sustainable" everything. I want it to be explained in a very clear way so we do not think that if we keep mentioning the word "sustainable" it will make a difference. The circular economy is...

Supplementary Budget for Rural Communities and Farmers: Motion [Private Members] (23 Feb 2022)

Mr. Jim Meade: There is capacity on trains for bikes, but not enough. We hear that, regularly. I am happy to say the new trains, the order for which we placed will be electric and battery-electric and very environmentally friendly, will have much more capacity and multipurpose space in order that we can carry more.

Protected Disclosures (Amendment) Bill 2022: Second Stage (Resumed) (16 Feb 2022)

Cathal Crowe: ...Fáil welcomes the Bill. I am confident it will enhance and strengthen the protections for whistleblowers in this country.

Report of the Commission on the Defence Forces: Statements (16 Feb 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I join with others in thanking the members of the commission for the work they have undertaken. I want to specifically refer to section 8.4.5.

I might not be in a position to convince her but I have no doubt that, with the arguments he has just put to me, the Senator will be able to if he gets a chance. I will encourage her...

Pippa Hackett: ...-environmental scheme. That all sounds like a bit of a mouthful but what it actually means is that we are on the cusp of doing things in a different way - a way I believe will be hugely beneficial to the environment, land and farmers.
