Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Childcare: Impact of Covid-19 (Resumed). (23 Jun 2020)

Seán Sherlock: If that is 50%, and if we are looking at the new pod type arrangements, because we had a considerable discussion on this in the Dáil some time back, the question arises as to how staffing will be applied to the new pod arrangements in September. I presume it will go back up to 100%. Can the new pod system be made work, particularly for smaller and older providers that have been...

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Childcare: Impact of Covid-19 (Resumed). (23 Jun 2020)

Seán Sherlock: I appreciate that. We had a good engagement with the INMO and SIPTU earlier regarding healthcare workers. The evidence is there about the level of engagement with the INMO, in particular, in respect of 18 May, which was the date on which childcare was supposed to be provided for front-line workers. I contend that there was a failure on the part of the State to live up to its promise to...

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Childcare: Impact of Covid-19 (Resumed). (23 Jun 2020)

Seán Sherlock: I apologise for cutting across Dr. Lynch. Why was that not signalled at an earlier stage to the organisations that represent those workers? It would have been much easier for people to digest if there were legitimate issues such as those relating to insurance.

Climate Action and Low Carbon Development: Statements (Resumed) (10 Jun 2020)

Seán Sherlock: It is very interesting to hear Deputy Eamon Ryan, who may be a prospective Tánaiste, giving us a sense of his vision. The potentially continuing or next Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine is also here to listen to that view. I am in no way being facetious about this. The view espoused by Deputy Ryan, possibly soon to be a Minister, is a vision that broadly we would all like...

Climate Action and Low Carbon Development: Statements (10 Jun 2020)

Seán Sherlock: I want to discuss sectoral issues. I know the Minister is not the line Minister responsible for agriculture but he will have a view on agricultural emissions. The Labour Party espouses a position whereby the Government needs to consult the stakeholders in agriculture to talk about agricultural emissions. Everyone recognises that there has to be a reduction in agricultural emissions but how...

Climate Action and Low Carbon Development: Statements (10 Jun 2020)

Seán Sherlock: I seek clarity on the 7% target being spoken about in the context of Government formation. We know that the climate action plan has set out targets of 3.5%. My question is very simple: does the Minister envisage that the target set out in the climate action plan can be increased to 7%? Is that feasible? Is it possible? Is consideration being given to it?

Climate Action and Low Carbon Development: Statements (10 Jun 2020)

Seán Sherlock: The Minister referred to the 2050 net zero target. The more immediate target is the 2030 target. We are talking about going from 60 million tonnes to 33 million tonnes, approximately. The question then in terms of policy interventions by 2030 is how we achieve that target. For instance, is the Minister's stated policy ambition to take diesel cars out of the equation by 2030 still a stated...
