Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Sectoral Emissions Ceilings: Discussion (28 Jun 2022)

Pauline O'Reilly: I am conscious that we do not have officials from the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage but, notwithstanding that, it is important to raise the issue of local authorities again. I know from some of the previous contributions that some councils are performing better than others when it comes to active transport and public transport. I have a lot of sympathy for those who...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Sectoral Emissions Ceilings: Discussion (28 Jun 2022)

What we want to see happen is that people in areas, for example, in some parts of Dublin where 80% of people might not own a car, would rightly have access to public transport and active transport and that it would be ensured that their taxes were used predominantly for that. That is my main point, not that we...

I have not been a teacher and I have come from a self-learning background. There are probably no fewer people now who cannot think for themselves than there were...

Seanad: Annual Transition Statement: Statements (22 Jun 2022)

Pauline O'Reilly: I welcome the Minister of State. I am going to talk about the last point that he made about the impact that climate change is having on the most vulnerable and I will talk about our global responsibilities.
