- Seanad: Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021: Committee Stage (1 Feb 2023)
Róisín Garvey: I welcome Senator Cummins's comments. I have personal experience of not just disabled parking but parking in general where local authorities have allowed people to go in and cut down 200 or 300 year old trees to create a car park. In one instance, they did not really need to cut down the tree. It could have been left at the side because cutting it down did not provide any more car parking...

Róisín Garvey: I want to come back in on something that Senator Ruane mentioned. I meant to raise it when we were discussing hedgerows and trees.

We must ensure that it is not going to increase carbon...

Róisín Garvey: I welcome the great work of ZEVI and the importance of working towards anything other than fossil fuels. It is important that the research from ZEVI is not just about e-cars. I may consider tabling an amendment on Report Stage. We should also research car-sharing of e-cars, not just sales. GoCar is working very well. I hope research expands into that area, and the fact that there is a...

Róisín Garvey: There has been considerable debate on data centres. The point I was making is it is really good to have data centres located where we have a high source of energy such as offshore wind energy. The wind last year saved Ireland's electricity system a gas bill of €2 billion. That is instantly replacing gas with wind, which is a positive. We need to be optimistic and give people hope....
