National Retrofit Plan: Motion [Private Members] (20 Sep 2022)

Peadar Tóibín: Ten years ago, in 2012, I had the opportunity to formulate a detailed and costed plan to deep retrofit 1.4 million houses in this State that were still, at the time, in need of deep insulation, in addition to the 130,000 non-residential buildings that were in the same state.

Security of Electricity Supply: Motion [Private Members] (15 Sep 2022)

Peadar Tóibín: Following on from my colleague's contribution, one of the biggest problems existing in the administration of this State is our glacial bureaucratic system. Anybody outside this Chamber will tell us that any time constituents try to do something right by their families, communities and the State, they find that they run into a bureaucratic wall when they deal with the State. The State is...

Measures to Assist with Household Bills: Motion [Private Members] (14 Sep 2022)

Peadar Tóibín: If there was ever a crisis that highlighted the chasm between the pressure people are under and the lack of Government action, this is the crisis. Though this issue has been ramping up week after week since before the Russian invasion of Ukraine and at least since the start of the year, week by week, families are being squeezed dry of their money.

Irish Bank Resolution Corporation Commission of Investigation Report: Statements (14 Sep 2022)
