Prohibition of the Exploration and Extraction of Onshore Petroleum Bill 2016: Second Stage [Private Members] (27 Oct 2016)

Seán Kyne: I thank all the Deputies for their contributions. Listening to some Deputies one might believe that anyone who has ever stood up in this House advocated or spoke for fracking, which I do not believe is the case - certainly not in my time here.

Topical Issue Debate: Seirbhísí Farantóireachta (27 Oct 2016)

Seán Kyne: Tá an ceart ag an Teachta go bhfuil a lán staire i gceist. Bhí a lán stair sa bhfeagra uaimse agus ó mo Roinn toisc go bhfuil an-stair ann.
