Victor Boyhan: I warmly welcome the Minister. I thank him for setting our some of the issues and difficulties, which I do not propose to discuss in detail. I certainly do not wish to speak about INM, Celtic Media or any other media outfit. I am conscious that there are proceedings and affidavits before the court so it is not appropriate to comment in detail on them. I thank the Minister for his...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Issues Impacting Apartments and Multi-Unit Developments (19 Apr 2018)

Victor Boyhan: I thank Mr. Rouse and Mr. Maher for a very informative presentation. I have been a director of two property management companies and everything that has been said resonates with me. The witnesses spoke of the civic-mindedness of the people who live there. That has been always the case. At every annual general meeting we found it impossible to get directors. We had to beat them out of the...

Victor Boyhan: I welcome Mr. Carey who has a very impressive CV. He has answered very clearly and well one of the questions I had intended to ask him as to what is his vision for the agency.

In accordance with the provisions of Dáil Standing Order...

That is where we are today.

Seanad: Northern Ireland and 20th Anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement: Statements (18 Apr 2018)

Victor Boyhan: I welcome the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade and thank him for his statement on Northern Ireland. It can be tempting when we think of Northern Ireland to look at its history. I do not want to dwell on the political history of Northern Ireland, the island of Ireland or indeed the United Kingdom for one minute. I had the privilege of being at a dinner held by the Goliath Trust at the...

Seanad: Fodder Shortage: Motion (18 Apr 2018)

Victor Boyhan: I thank the Minister for attending this debate. I am conscious that the Minister comes from a rural constituency and has a strong background in agriculture. As he represents an agricultural constituency, he is clearly aware of the challenges in agriculture. Wicklow is a diverse county in terms of agriculture. It has a lot of marginal land but there is also very good land in west Wicklow,...

There is a complex in south county Dublin which is owned by one of the biggest multinational IT companies in the world and it was opened by the Taoiseach, Deputy Varadkar. It is wonderful to have inward investment, something with which I agree. This building is purpose built, with the capacity to hold a workforce of...
