Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (17 Apr 2024)

Lisa Chambers: ...Overall, the energy credits that were put in place by the Government have worked well in terms of offsetting a significant increase in energy costs mainly due to the war in Ukraine and Russia turning off the gas tap. There were genuine fears two years ago that we would not be able to keep the lights on. In light of the extraordinary circumstances the Government had to deal with, it did...

Gerry Horkan: I know. I am not talking about the Luas but Dublin Bus. In the old days, you would not get past the door without handing over your coins. Does it happen much that people do not tap or pay?

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (16 Apr 2024)

Mick Barry: We are told that we are living in the bright, shiny Ireland of the 2020s. Turn on many a tap in Cork city today and you might think that you had been transported back to the 1920s. Why? It is because of what is coming out of those taps. It is brown water, orange water, dirty and discoloured with sediment from the inside of water pipes that are more than 100 years old in some cases. I...

Denis Naughten: ...70,000 MW of offshore renewable electricity. This is enough capacity to not only meet Ireland's long-term needs but those of France and Austria.

The projections are that by 2037, offshore wind development could employ 5,400 people in the Atlantic region, with a financial dividend of €4.2 billion. We need to see...

These are the real things we can do in government. It is not...

Committee on Key Issues affecting the Traveller Community: Traveller Accommodation: Discussion (Resumed) (21 Mar 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: ...something else could be really effective. I am always looking for things that give you a fast bang for your buck. We have all these committees and we have set up the Traveller accommodation programme, TAP, but then the targets are missed, everyone shrugs their shoulders and there are a million excuses. We need to have some sanctions if the legal obligation to produce and deliver on the...

Pre-European Council Meeting: Statements (20 Mar 2024)

Thomas Gould: Can the Minister of State see the water in the bottle I am holding? It came out of the taps in Cork. People across Cork city have had brown, dirty, black and discoloured water for over a year. Would anyone let members of their family or their kids drink this water? The worst thing about it is that because it is not so black or brown, older people, children and vulnerable people drink it...

...between public bodies and other stakeholders, including those in the farming and agricultural sectors. Some examples in this space stem from the second river basin management plan.

The overall aim of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Challenges Facing Businesses in Relation to Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility: Discussion (20 Mar 2024)

Richard Bruton: ...enterprise. I am doing a bit of work on positive ageing through the Fine Gael policy lab. It seems that the 25 years that most people can look forward to after they retire is simply not being tapped as an asset. There is massive wasted value and massive unmet needs, and a huge scope for pairing off some of that spare time, energy, commitment and interest to some of the unmet needs....

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Renewable Energy Generation (7 Mar 2024)

Eamon Ryan: ...2 GW of solar in the field which has already been through the auction process. This number will jump. We are going towards 80% renewables by the end of this decade. The big question is how we tap into ocean energy and turn it into an industrial opportunity. I will have to be upfront and honest and say that I am a great supporter of wave and tidal energy. They are probably more medium...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Update on Homelessness: Discussion (5 Mar 2024)

...authorities are the only ones who can really provide safety and security in old age. With that, comes a network of supports run by people like us, Age Friendly Ireland and others, which can be tapped into and rolled out in line with that so we provide support. Many people will be single or aged 75 plus, which means frailty and support issues will come with that. Between living at home...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (29 Feb 2024)

Paul Murphy: ..., the corporate landlords, private developers and so on. Of course, none of that justifies any racist violence or is the fault of asylum seekers. It is true, however, that the far right tries to tap into real, legitimate issues and then direct anger away from the Government and those at the top of our society towards those at the bottom. That is precisely why, on Saturday, we are...

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022 - Tusla-Child and Family Agency (29 Feb 2024)

Brian Stanley: ...being done in a minute. I know Ms Duggan is trying to take some measures to get on top of this. However, we have huge resources issues and huge problems with getting suitable accommodation. The tap is still turned on and the sink is overflowing. These people in Tusla have been handed this issue. Where does it begin and end? Why has this not been taken up with Ukraine? By the way, the...

Seanad Public Consultation Committee: The Future of Local Democracy: Discussion (Resumed) (29 Feb 2024)

Mark Wall: ...about the retirement of councillors. There is a television advertisement that says, "When they're gone, they're gone!" When councillors retire there is a lack of knowledge so I believe we need to tap into that knowledge. As I mentioned here before, I suggest we survey councillors and ask them why they have decided to leave, what they would like to see and what the future holds for them....

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Impact of Climate on Public Finances: Irish Fiscal Advisory Council (28 Feb 2024) See 1 other result from this debate

...in one area; it is joined-up thinking. As the Leas-Chathaoirleach noted, regarding the national development plan or extra investments in climate, it may be absolutely fine to wait until 2026 to tap into those funds as long as we keep going with other planned investments in this area. As I said earlier in response to Deputy Conway-Walsh, perhaps prioritising those that will have the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: European Elections 2024, Voting Rights and Combating Disinformation: Discussion (Resumed) (28 Feb 2024)

...network, we saw that funding was provided to promote civil society organisations as regards education and engagement during the European accession process for those countries.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: North-South Student Mobility: Discussion (Resumed) (27 Feb 2024)

...to start addressing those key areas like climate change and food security. The fact we are bringing the wider UK into this process helps us because of its research capacity. It allows us to tap into some of the expertise there. All in all, it is a very positive outcome. They will start their operations this year and will very much start to ramp up their operations. There is...
