Written Answers — Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht: Sports Funding (17 Nov 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: 58. To ask the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht if she will provide an update in relation to interactions with the IABA; the current position with regards to future funding for the IABA; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [56375/22]

Post-European Council: Statements (16 Nov 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I reiterate what Deputy John Brady said about the 52 officials, including members of the Government and Members of the Oireachtas, who have been declared personae non gratae. I am fairly sure that nobody was preparing to travel to the Russian Federation. This is an affront to our democracy and to our place in the world. We need to ask Ambassador Yuri Filatov to make his journey home. If...

Energy Regulations: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (16 Nov 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: He will at the wedding.

Energy Regulations: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (16 Nov 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: We are dealing with another motion about how things are in the real world in the context of the cost of energy. Whether it is individuals or businesses, we all know that we have been inundated in respect of this matter. Some of my colleagues spoke about the weakness of the CRU's remit and powers with regard to standing charges. There are huge anomalies. Many of us will have dealt with...

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Select Committee (16 Nov 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: This is a reply to the Minister and he is correct on some level in the sense that I did not speak about the huge successes there have been in the Irish film industry. Maybe I should have said that at the outset but the fact is that we want that to continue. We want to ensure that we have what I spoke about earlier, namely, a sustainable industry that provides a good level of employment and...

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Select Committee (16 Nov 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I said I would take 30 seconds and I hope I will not make a liar of myself. I welcome the Minister's interaction. There is an acceptance of the need for a greater level of collective agreements across the board. However, the power differential needs to be taken into account. That is the reason some individuals are keeping their heads down. We need to find some means whereby they can make...

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Select Committee (16 Nov 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: A lot of this has already been dealt with by Deputy Doherty. He spoke about his own amendment, which just looks for something that is more directional and takes into account the anomalies with which he dealt. There will be certain firms, particularly smaller operations, that will need a greater level of support. It is a fair ask with regard to the credit unions. I will throw another...

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Select Committee (16 Nov 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: On communal heating systems, I imagine that the likes of Frontline can avail of it on that basis. The problem is that two or maybe three of these companies have a huge number of individual locations. The limit of €30,000 or whatever could mean that a company would not necessarily qualify. This is not about saving Frontline, but about the residents who live in these residential...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Update on Issues in Aviation Sector: Engagement with Mr. Willie Walsh (16 Nov 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I apologise as I will probably repeat a lot of what has been said already, some of which I have been in the room for but most of which I have not. Mr. Walsh has provided a general idea of modelling where the industry will be. We all know we are in an energy crisis meets cost-of-living crisis. Mr. Walsh has already talked about some of the specific issues with refineries, yada-yada-yada....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Update on Issues in Aviation Sector: Engagement with Mr. Willie Walsh (16 Nov 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: Sorry, I had that point written down and I probably should have mentioned it. There is the impact of price but there are also supply issues caused by the Russian invasion.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Update on Issues in Aviation Sector: Engagement with Mr. Willie Walsh (16 Nov 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: Does Mr. Walsh foresee the price regulating itself - for want of a better term - without the interference of external factors?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Update on Issues in Aviation Sector: Engagement with Mr. Willie Walsh (16 Nov 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I get it and I imagine Mr. Walsh has multiple models.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Update on Issues in Aviation Sector: Engagement with Mr. Willie Walsh (16 Nov 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: The problem is maintaining that, but I do not know how we can.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Update on Issues in Aviation Sector: Engagement with Mr. Willie Walsh (16 Nov 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: It was different.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Update on Issues in Aviation Sector: Engagement with Mr. Willie Walsh (16 Nov 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: There was probably an element of emigration from places, such as Ireland.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Update on Issues in Aviation Sector: Engagement with Mr. Willie Walsh (16 Nov 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: People still need to travel.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Update on Issues in Aviation Sector: Engagement with Mr. Willie Walsh (16 Nov 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I get that. There is an element of what I will loosely term the western world having to get its act together on that. It is not completely applicable but there is the argument that after 11 September 2001, America ensured the free flow of credit because it did not want the attack to lead to a global recession.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Update on Issues in Aviation Sector: Engagement with Mr. Willie Walsh (16 Nov 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: That said, the money all went into the wrong products based on property. Somebody, I think it was Bill Clinton, lamented that the money had not gone into renewables but we are where we are. I do not expect Mr. Walsh to answer on what the western world needs to do but let us get on with it quickly. As I think I have said before, it is one of the only weapons Vladimir Putin has that is...
