Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: North-South Interconnector (20 Sep 2022)

Matt Carthy: The Minister's colleague in government promised a full independent assessment of the potential to underground the North-South interconnector.

Importantly, will he now ensure we can move towards...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: North-South Interconnector (20 Sep 2022)

Matt Carthy: I was at the ploughing championships today and the Minister's name came up quite an amount. I am not one for personalised attacks but he has become the figurehead for the perception that the Government does not listen to communities. The North-South interconnector is a good example of this. Communities have been very clear, as have we in the Opposition, that we understand the rationale for...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: North-South Interconnector (20 Sep 2022)

Matt Carthy: I am sure the Minister's colleague in the North will be delighted to hear an interconnector is some clandestine mechanism to deliver Irish unity.

That is why we want to pursue this infrastructure in a way that will have community support precisely so that we can deliver this...

I will ask a broad question and they can answer it in the context of what has already been dealt with. We have had many debates and a lot of public discourse on climate action obligations. For the most part, it has...

Matt Carthy: I will ask a question from another angle. If a farm has not employed the type of practices Mr. McCormack talked about to a sufficient level, and it is shown that an individual farm is contributing pollution to a watercourse, is it better that that individual farm be mandated to reduce production until the stage where it has resolved those issues, as opposed to a blanket ban where all...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Calculation of Methane Emissions: Discussion (20 Jul 2022)

Matt Carthy: I thank all our guests for being here. As I am sure they are aware, these areas can be incredibly complex. They become more complex when we get evidence that suggests that the accounting and calculation model we are basing all of these conversations on may actually be flawed.
