Protection of Employees (Employers’ Insolvency) (Amendment) Bill 2025: Second Stage (28 May 2025)

Peadar Tóibín: Cuirim fáilte roimh an mBille seo. Is maith an rud é go bhfuil sé ag iarraidh cearta oibrithe a threisiú sa tír seo. Le fada an lá, ní raibh cearta ná cumhacht ag oibrithe in aghaidh go leor comhlachtaí. Dá bharr, chaill go leor dóibh a gcuid tuarastail agus a gcuid slite beatha. Aontú is committed to justice in the workplace...

Gaza: Motion (28 May 2025)

It needs to be supported across the Chamber. The clock is ticking towards famine in Gaza. Those are the words of the head of the UN agency for Palestine. This is no natural famine...

Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery: Uisce Éireann: Future Work Programme (28 May 2025)

Peadar Tóibín: Ar dtús, gabhaim míle buíochas as an gcur i láthair. I will follow on from the question asked by the Cathaoirleach. The key constraints in delivery are not funds but the current capacity within the construction industry to fulfil the work that needs to be done. Is that correct?

Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery: Uisce Éireann: Future Work Programme (28 May 2025)

Peadar Tóibín: Two questions arise from that. First, given the constraints within the construction industry, how long would it take for Uisce Éireann to be able to provide the necessary infrastructure so that water delivery is no longer a blockage on housing delivery? How many years would that take? Second, statutory consent was mentioned. Can Uisce Éireann identify the blockages? Who is...

Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery: Uisce Éireann: Future Work Programme (28 May 2025)

Peadar Tóibín: Sometimes An Bord Pleanála takes over a year to deal with applications, which is caused by a staffing issue. If local authorities and An Bord Pleanála had the necessary staff, they would be able to deliver consents faster. It is interesting to learn that it will take until 2050 before the necessary shortcomings within the sector will be met with the investment.

Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery: Uisce Éireann: Future Work Programme (28 May 2025)

Peadar Tóibín: The system is in bad shape in many parts of the country. In my constituency, the town of Trim has been hammered with either water blockages or the water being switched off at night-time such that when people turn on the taps they get dirty water, due to these constant changes. Trucks are being used to deliver water to places like Ballivor and Clonard on a regular basis. The State is...

Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery: Uisce Éireann: Future Work Programme (28 May 2025)

Peadar Tóibín: A lot of European countries source their water from aquifers, whereas we tend to take water from surface locations, rivers and so on. We have just had a couple of weeks of nice weather and already there are warnings about hosepipe bans, for example. In the case of the River Boyne, the capacity of the river is gone at the moment because of taps. How can we depend on a supply of surface...

Given the inflation associated with capital infrastructural projects in this country, it would be very brave to say that the project will come home at €6 billion....

Apology to Shane O'Farrell and his Family: Statements (27 May 2025)

Peadar Tóibín: I want to welcome the O'Farrell family and thank them. I want to mention two TDs who have done a great deal of work on this over the years for the family, namely, Deputies John McGuinness and Matt Carthy. That deserves recognition.
