Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: Post-Brexit Relations: Engagement with Scottish Cabinet Secretary for the Constitution, External Affairs and Culture (9 Mar 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I will cut my preamble on what was said around the Irish protocol and everything. It is a specific piece of planning and the SNP had done a considerable amount of it in the considerable run-up to the previous referendum. What is happening at a state level in order that when a referendum is called, the answers are there, verified and double-checked? One is into a political play which is not...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Travelling in a Woman's Shoes Report: Discussion (9 Mar 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I thank our guests. Many points have been made on the co-creation of design, which is absolutely necessary for safety and security. I get the idea that passive surveillance is a major game changer rather than using other security measures. There was some conversation earlier about antisocial behaviour, perhaps as a result of people misusing alcohol and drugs. That probably requires a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Travelling in a Woman's Shoes Report: Discussion (9 Mar 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: The witnesses have dealt with some of my supplementary questions around the data. I had also gone into that idea about the co-creation of design, but there have been answers on that. On the issue of passive surveillance, there was a significant answer around my question of the particular issues affecting those in the lower socioeconomic bracket and those from ethnic minorities. There...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Apprenticeship Programmes (8 Mar 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: 55. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if he will report on the low number of apprentices that became fully qualified tradespersons in 2021; his plans for the apprenticeship system given the demands to deliver on housing, retrofitting and other infrastructure needs; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12800/22]

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Apprenticeship Programmes (8 Mar 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: Will the Minister report on the low number of apprentices that became fully qualified tradespersons in 2021, the plans for the apprenticeship system and the demands to deliver on housing, retrofitting and other infrastructure? Perhaps he could speak to needs beyond that. Will he detail the dealings of his Department, the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment and the regional skills...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Apprenticeship Programmes (8 Mar 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I suppose the question is whether we have the throughput we will require into the future to provide us with the needs we have. We are talking about building and retrofitting and beyond that we have been talking specifically about work on renewable energy etc. Even beyond that we are looking at apprenticeships in non-traditional and non-craft training, even taking in training that might...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Apprenticeship Programmes (8 Mar 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I appreciate the answers from the Minister and in fairness, I probably threw enough down that it would have taken him another ten minutes to go through everything individually. I request a wee bit of leeway, as I am sure many of us have been asked questions about moves that will be made to facilitate people coming from Ukraine. The Minister is on the record speaking about this. I am...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (8 Mar 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: The situation has obviously got worse since these questions were tabled. Some of us met the Ukrainian ambassador earlier. She is calling for the Russian ambassador here to be given his marching orders and, beyond that, to cut off seaports and such to the Russians. This creates difficulties, particularly for Germany. What conversations have there been in that regard at EU level? I also...
