Urban Regeneration and Housing Bill 2015: Second Stage (Resumed) (16 Jun 2015)

Michael Colreavy: There is no doubt but that social housing in Ireland has improved over the decades. It is self-evident that the quality of houses now being built by the local authorities has improved immeasurably in comparison with those constructed over 30 or 40 years ago. This step-change was needed. However, we are a long way from what all of us would like to see, namely, as in the case of access to...

Other Questions: National Broadband Plan Implementation (16 Jun 2015)

Michael Colreavy: I do not think we can rely exclusively on private companies to give us the information we need. I suggested five or six weeks ago that it would make sense to have an online system in order that, if people could not access high speed broadband, they could log the issue and the Department would have the information and a rolling count. It would be a simple, inexpensive solution to the...

Other Questions: Hydraulic Fracturing Policy (16 Jun 2015)

Michael Colreavy: The EPA report on fracking does not include consideration of an issue that will have to be taken into consideration by the political system, namely, the negotiations on the transatlantic trade and investment partnership, TTIP, and the investor-state dispute settlement, ISDS, system. Particularly under the ISDS system, energy companies will undoubtedly threaten governments. If they are not...

Other Questions: National Broadband Plan Implementation (16 Jun 2015)

Other Questions: National Broadband Plan Implementation (16 Jun 2015)

Michael Colreavy: Will the Minister indicate the number of houses that require retrofitting? I would also like to know the number of houses and businesses that do not have access to high-speed broadband. Where are we at in terms of establishing that level of need?

Other Questions: Energy Conservation (16 Jun 2015)

Michael Colreavy: I thank the Minister for his reply. Retrofitting houses is certainly a good investment and any increase in the amount going towards it will certainly pay big dividends, not just for those whose houses are being retrofitted but also for society at large. It is guaranteed to reduce energy dependence. The need for such work should be assessed, particularly in rural houses many of which...

Other Questions: Hydraulic Fracturing (16 Jun 2015)

Michael Colreavy: This issue is of more than academic interest to me because I live in the area most immediately threatened by fracking. Last week the Joint Committee on Transport and Communications discussed its progress report with representatives of the EPA. I have described CDM Smith as a cheerleader for the fracking industry. My major concern is that it is the lead company for the study. How can any...

Other Questions: Energy Conservation (16 Jun 2015)

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Post Office Network (16 Jun 2015)

Michael Colreavy: The Department of Social Protection payments constitute up to one third of the business of post offices and without that business, post offices will close. If people are not going in to do business, they will close. Did the development group consider the possibility of EFT capability within the post office network? I agree that we cannot be like Canute in holding back the tide with a rake....
