Seanad: Wind Energy: Statements (25 Jan 2023)

Lynn Boylan: I know many people want to get in on this. It is one of those debates where we are all in agreement on the need for greater ambition in our wind energy and renewables. We all see, particularly with the Ukraine war, how important renewable energy is, in addition to the idea of energy independence. Ireland has significant potential to realise full energy independence. It is welcome that...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (24 Jan 2023)

Lynn Boylan: It is great to see Senator Buttimer in the Chair and to see the new Leader, Senator Chambers. I wish them all the best for the coming term. I want to raise an issue which probably will not surprise people, given it is about dog welfare. I put this down as a Commencement matter and I will appeal the decision taken because I think the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine has a role...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (14 Dec 2022)

Lynn Boylan: I echo the concerns with regard to what we are hearing about proposals to try to restrict people's access to justice when it comes to the planning process. We all agree the process is much in need of reform.

Seanad: Animal Health and Welfare (Dogs) Bill 2022: Second Stage (14 Dec 2022)

Lynn Boylan: I am delighted to introduce this legislation on behalf of the Sinn Féin Seanad team. No disrespect to the Minister of State, Senator Hackett, but it is disappointing that the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Deputy McConalogue, is not here.

I would caution about the information on microchip compliance. While we know that the law states one...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: The Role of the Media and Communications in Actioning Climate Change: Discussion (Resumed) (13 Dec 2022)

Lynn Boylan: I thank all of our guests. I support a fossil fuel advertisement ban because we hear from all the witnesses how complicated it is to substantiate claims being made about what constitutes greenwashing. For certain industries and products, a straight-cut ban would eliminate all those doubts and make the job of the ASAI much easier if certain products were banned outright. In regard to what...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: The Role of the Media and Communications in Actioning Climate Change: Discussion (Resumed) (13 Dec 2022)

Lynn Boylan: Ms Twomey pointed to the importance of consumers knowing that there is no greenwashing involved when they are buying products and that they are doing their bit. For example, on petrol company was using an advertising slogan about carbon neutral driving. I and, no doubt, many others submitted complaints to the ASAI in respect of that particular issue, saying that there is no such thing as...
