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)

Joe O'Reilly: That is fine. I thank Mr. Mulligan.

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.

Seanad: Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Second Stage (Resumed) (3 Apr 2019)

Joe O'Reilly: Next Tuesday.

Seanad: Forbairtí maidir leis an Ghaeilge: Ráitis (3 Apr 2019)

Joe O'Reilly: Ar dtús, is cúis áthais dom é fáilte a chur roimh an Aire Stáit agus tréaslaím leis as a chuid oibre díograiseach agus éifeachtach. Molaim an t-airgead breise sa bhuiséad agus na hacmhainní atá ar fáil anois. I dtús báire, tá sé tábhachtach a rá gur fiú ár dteanga, ár...

Seanad: Order of Business (28 Mar 2019)

Joe O'Reilly: I join with Senator Feighan in offering our condolences to the family of John Browne, a former Deputy and Senator and an absolute gentleman. He was also a former primary school teacher. He was a man who gave public service of the highest quality in the classroom, Seanad and Dáil for many years. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis. I am very happy to second the call by Senator...

Seanad: Civil Liability (Capping of General Damages Bill) 2019: Second Stage (28 Mar 2019)

Joe O'Reilly: I join my colleague, Senator Reilly, in welcoming the Minister for Justice and Equality, Deputy Flanagan, to the House. I acknowledge the Minister's interaction with the Members in this Chamber. We greatly appreciate his proactive and professional approach to this very sensitive Ministry. Before I comment on the Bill, I congratulate my colleague, Senator Lawlor, on taking the initiative...

Seanad: Civil Liability (Capping of General Damages Bill) 2019: Second Stage (28 Mar 2019)

Joe O'Reilly: It is also possible to evolve in one's thinking. Anyway, I do not propose to continue-----

Seanad: Civil Liability (Capping of General Damages Bill) 2019: Second Stage (28 Mar 2019)

Joe O'Reilly: I acknowledge the great contribution of Senator Lawlor today but would make the point that nobody is suggesting that people who are injured would not be adequately rewarded. That is not a proposition that anyone here would make. We all have families and friends and none of us is suggesting that we should live in a country like that. People should be adequately compensated for loss of...

Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Seirbhísí trí Ghaeilge (Atógáil): An Roinn Talmhaíochta, Bia agus Mara (26 Mar 2019)

Joe O'Reilly: I dtús báire ba mhaith liom fáilte a chur roimh an Roinn agus mo leithscéal a ghabháil faoi go bhfuilim giota beag déanach de bharr go raibh mé ag freastal ar chruinniú eile. Dúirt an tUasal O'Connell sa ráiteas tosaigh dá cuid go bhfuil easpa acmhainní ag an Roinn agus go bhfuil sé sin lárnach agus gur deacracht faoi...

Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Seirbhísí trí Ghaeilge (Atógáil): An Roinn Talmhaíochta, Bia agus Mara (26 Mar 2019)

Joe O'Reilly: Ní airgead atá i gceist.

Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Seirbhísí trí Ghaeilge (Atógáil): An Roinn Talmhaíochta, Bia agus Mara (26 Mar 2019)

Joe O'Reilly: Ní dóigh liom go mbeadh caighdeán ró-ard riachtanach chun dul i dteagmháil le feirmeoirí mar gheall ar a gcuid beithíoch agus a leithéid, agus ní ag maslú na feirmeoirí atáim mar is daoine iontach éirimiúil iad. Rugadh mise ar fheirm. Ní dóigh liom go mbeadh PhD sa Ghaeilge riachtanach. Is dóigh liom go...

Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Seirbhísí trí Ghaeilge (Atógáil): An Roinn Talmhaíochta, Bia agus Mara (26 Mar 2019)

Joe O'Reilly: An caighdeán, an ea?

Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Seirbhísí trí Ghaeilge (Atógáil): An Roinn Talmhaíochta, Bia agus Mara (26 Mar 2019)

Joe O'Reilly: Tá na scéimeanna seo á n-úsáid i go leor áiteanna. Tá cineál eolais agam ar na scéimeanna talmhaíochta agus na cártaí agus a leithéid. Tá siad bunúsach go leor, cheapfainn. Tá a fhios agam maidir leis an rud atá á rá ag mo chomhghleacaí go bhfuil caighdeán go mba chóir go mbeadh...

Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Seirbhísí trí Ghaeilge (Atógáil): An Roinn Talmhaíochta, Bia agus Mara (26 Mar 2019)

Joe O'Reilly: B'shin an rud bunúsach nó is é an focal cuí nach bhfuil siad muiníneach go leor. Is deacracht i ngach slí é sin.
