Taoiseach a Ainmniú - Nomination of Taoiseach (20 Feb 2020)

Michael Fitzmaurice: First of all, well done, a Cheann Comhairle, on being re-elected. In the last Dáil you were fair, especially to the smaller groupings. I smiled today when I came to the Chamber. Over recent weeks we have heard that such a one would not talk to such a one. Yet, when I looked around today in different parts of the Dáil I saw people from all political divides shaking hands,...

Climate Action and Low Carbon Development: Statements (18 Dec 2019)

Michael Fitzmaurice: I too wish all the Oireachtas staff and our colleagues in the House a happy Christmas. Everyone speaks about tonnages, figures and percentages that we have to aim for, and about the degree to which we exceed our emissions targets. Will the Minister provide a facility for Deputies to talk to the people who do the number-crunching? Everybody in Ireland talks about carbon and figures but...

Climate Action and Low Carbon Development: Statements (18 Dec 2019)

On the 6% of the hedgerows and trees around the country that have not been accounted for in the emissions, will the Minister ensure it is included as it could bring emissions for agriculture down 8% to 10%? Is the Minister willing to heed my proposal that in respect of holdings of 50 acres we would put in a shelter belt and the Government would...

Climate Action and Low Carbon Development: Statements (18 Dec 2019)

Michael Fitzmaurice: I thank Deputy Sherlock for sharing time. Many of us were in attendance to hear Kieran Mulvey address the committee earlier. He is a straight talker and I have great respect for him. He said today that he got a phone call the day before the announcement was made. While there is an office in Offaly, it is like the captain of a team going out onto the pitch on his own; the rest of the...

Environmental Policy: Motion [Private Members] (18 Dec 2019)

Michael Fitzmaurice: I am grateful for the opportunity to speak on this Labour Party motion. There is a problem with quarries. West of Galway city and right through Connemara, we will soon be facing a situation where 80% of the land will be designated as not being allowed for quarrying. In 2007, quarry owners were asked to sign a compliance form. In 2012, there was a substitute consent. The minute they got...
