Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Industrial Development (25 Sep 2025)

Seán Fleming: I thank the Minister for that and, in particular, his commitment to help arrange a meeting between the TDs, the chief executive of Laois County Council and appropriate IDA officials - or Enterprise Ireland officials, while we are at it, because the figures for Enterprise Ireland in Laois are abysmally low as well. We are almost at the bottom. I will make a few key points. The Minister...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Industrial Development (25 Sep 2025)

Seán Fleming: I thank the Minister for that overview of the midlands region but I am sure he will understand if I speak about Laois in particular. At the end of last year, there were 8,045 IDA-supported jobs in the midlands. Laois has 30% of the population of the midland counties but has only 1.8% of the IDA-supported jobs in the area. If one looks at the county-by-county list produced by the IDA, one...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Pre-Budget 2026 Engagement (Resumed) (24 Sep 2025)

Seán Fleming: I thank the Chair. I will be very brief; I have just three quick points to make. At one of our meetings here yesterday, I mentioned the issue of projects having to stall at various stages along the way because we do not have multi-annual budgeting. When you are doing big projects that run for years, you cannot be waiting for the annual budget each year. The funds could run out in...

Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery: Business of Joint Committee (24 Sep 2025)

Seán Fleming: At the outset, I advise members of the constitutional requirement that they must be physically present within the confines of the Leinster House complex to participate in public meetings. We have received apologies from Deputy Conor Sheehan. Members are also reminded of the long-standing parliamentary practice that they should not criticise or make charges against any person or entity by...

Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery: Business of Joint Committee (24 Sep 2025)

Seán Fleming: I hope next week we will come back with a detailed work schedule from now until the end of this session. I think the email we got about disability has gone to every committee to be taken on board. When it comes to infrastructure, the last thing we want is to put lifts in a hospital that are not wide enough to take electric wheelchairs. I have seen an example of that. They are designed for...

Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery: Business of Joint Committee (24 Sep 2025)

Seán Fleming: We will get there yet. When you connect up to the Shannon, we will go. Despite this, I hear worries Uisce Éireann will not be able to support permission for new houses in Dublin because of the limitation. That is probably waiting on some of the water from the Shannon. The plant is a major infrastructural project affecting 40% of the country. A visit will be well worth our while. I...

Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery: Business of Joint Committee (24 Sep 2025)

Seán Fleming: No. It will not be like a tape recorder. We will be given a report from the meeting. While we are busy looking around, the hard-working staff will be keeping copious notes. We will have our own report and it will be part of our work but it will not be documented on the system because we are off site. It will be useful for us to go and look at one of the big plants. I am sure we will...

Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery: Priorities and Provisions in the Review of the National Development Plan: Minister for Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation (24 Sep 2025)

Seán Fleming: Before I call the first speaker, I will put two comments to the Minister. He said he expected to have the specifics of details of projects from each Department by late October. He will have to look at them then. Will his Department issue that information or will each Department do its own? What is the format for when the public will get this information?
