Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Financial Implications of the Petroleum and Other Minerals (Amendment) (Climate Emergency Measures) Bill 2018: Discussion (11 Jun 2019)

Joe O'Reilly: It is a normal courtesy to welcome the Minister of State and his officials to the committee meeting. At no point in Deputy Smith's submission did she suggest that there is not goodwill in this committee on climate change. I acknowledge that she never suggested that because it is not the case. There is goodwill. Senator McDowell was anxious to preface his remarks similarly and his bona...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Financial Implications of the Petroleum and Other Minerals (Amendment) (Climate Emergency Measures) Bill 2018: Discussion (11 Jun 2019)

Joe O'Reilly: I am also aware from parliamentary party meetings that the unveiling of a complete climate action plan is imminent. With respect to Deputy Smith and others, whose bona fides are very sound, given the recommendations of the committee, the assembly and the student movement, it would be wise to wait for the climate action plan, to have buy-in to it and to make sure that any proposals we make...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: National Broadband Plan: Discussion (22 May 2019)

Joe O'Reilly: I welcome our guests. I will make a statement at the outset and then ask some questions, some of which have already been touched on. We are all individually answerable to those who elect us so we have to ask the questions again. I am happy we are here discussing the working out of a scheme to give the same opportunities to the people of rural Ireland as their urban cousins. Had a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: National Broadband Plan: Discussion (22 May 2019)

Joe O'Reilly: I am nearly there. Regarding the idea that we should get the asset after 35 years, I will ask two questions. What will the asset be after 35 years? I understand that our guests cannot account for technological advances in the interim, but what is the projection based on our current knowledge? What will happen in the lacuna between 25 and 35 years? If I understand it correctly, the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: National Broadband Plan: Discussion (22 May 2019)

Joe O'Reilly: There will then be five years to complete the remainder. That seems inordinately long. Are attempts being made to shorten the period? Surely there would be a commercial imperative for the company to shorten it. That might help. A popular question is being asked, so let us address it once more. Why was Eir allowed to cherry-pick its 300,000 premises? We have been provided the official...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: National Broadband Plan: Discussion (22 May 2019)

Joe O'Reilly: I am sorry to interrupt as I appreciate the detailed answers. Mr. Mulligan is thorough. Would it not be helpful if the great taxpayers of Ireland were aware of that? They should be made aware of the incremental nature of it and what it will be year by year.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: National Broadband Plan: Discussion (22 May 2019)

Joe O'Reilly: I accept that it is not totally Mr. Mulligan's function.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: National Broadband Plan: Discussion (22 May 2019)

Joe O'Reilly: Yes. We have to ensure they know.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: National Broadband Plan: Discussion (22 May 2019)

Joe O'Reilly: I have a final man-or-woman-in-the-street question. I can anticipate the answer but I still want to ask it, if the Chairman does not mind. If the entire NBI or part thereof was to be sold or be taken over or flipped and sold on, all things remain the same. Are there mechanisms for that? How would it work that there would be no interest lost, if in a year's time they found someone to take...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: National Broadband Plan: Discussion (22 May 2019)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Microgeneration Support Scheme Bill 2017: Discussion (Resumed) (16 Apr 2019)

Joe O'Reilly: I thank the Chair for accommodating me. Our guests are extremely welcome and we are delighted that they are here to make their presentations, which were very interesting. I ask for their forbearance in that I will leave but I will read their responses to my comments. I am interested in this issue, as are the people who I represent. I will read more detail on it. I congratulate our...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (4 Apr 2019)

Joe O'Reilly: I wish to speak about the matter which was addressed by Senators Conway-Walsh and McDowell, namely, insurance. I was struck yesterday when I heard on the radio in my car people from the pre-school sector on the Sean O'Rourke's show and the evening programme later who said they would have to close pre-school services, with the loss of jobs and causing great inconvenience for parents. Another...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (4 Apr 2019)

Joe O'Reilly: I am not exaggerating. Last week I came across a small business which had cumulative insurance costs of approximately €8,000. It will not be able to stay open when one puts rates on top of it.
