- Nature Restoration Law: Motion [Private Members] (12 Jun 2024)
Martin Browne: This debate is necessary, especially in light of the fact that the matter to which it relates is subject to a vote at EU Council level. That vote, it must be remembered, has been delayed, which, in itself, sends a key message about the current composition of the nature restoration law. There can be no doubting the very fact that nature is facing a crisis. On a global level, it is...
- Nature Restoration Law: Motion [Private Members] (12 Jun 2024)
Matt Shanahan: The European Union has been working on the nature restoration law for many years and we know the law is a community attempt to halt habitat slide and restore biodiversity loss, which is an obvious imperative. The law is primarily intended to target habitats that contribute to carbon capture and storage. While initial targets up to 2030 can be delivered from our bank of State land, the...
- Nature Restoration Law: Motion [Private Members] (12 Jun 2024)
Claire Kerrane: I thank the Regional Group for bringing forward an important motion on an issue that is of real concern to farmers the length and breadth of this State. We have to start from the point that to date this has been handled very badly. We have had reports from Europe, most of which have come to farmers via the media. It is not the way to bring farmers with us and is a prime example of how not...

- Nature Restoration Law: Motion [Private Members] (12 Jun 2024)
Michael Lowry: I welcome the Government's acceptance of the Regional Group's motion. Equally, we insist that the concerns raised by us are taken into account during implementation. Obviously, there is widespread awareness of the need for ecological restoration. By degrees, we have damaged our ecosystem and are knowingly driving it to the verge of ruin. We each have a moral responsibility to do all...

Minister of State at the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (Senator Pippa Hackett): I thank Deputy Naughten and his colleagues for raising this important topic. The Government is not opposing the motion. The proposed regulation on nature restoration, better known as the nature restoration law, is landmark EU legislation and will have an impact on all areas of society,...

As the Regional Group of Independent TDs, we are seen to have a common and sensible approach to everything. This nature restoration law has caused huge anxiety. The way it was introduced and...

- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: School Transport (12 Jun 2024)
Frank Feighan: I thank the Minister of State. Over the years, school transport has been a very complicated issue. The Government and its Ministers have much to be doing. Sometimes people may say that an issue falls outside their remit and is the responsibility of Bus Éireann or someone other entity. We need leadership on this issue in order to address the situation. Ireland has changed a great...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: School Transport (12 Jun 2024)
Kieran O'Donnell: The Department and the Minister will learn a lot from the two pilot schemes. To provide a final context, the most significant change to the current eligibility criteria for the mainstream that will come in 2024-25 will be to reduce the current distance criteria and remove the nearest-school criterion. The proposal over time is to reduce the distance criteria to 1 km from 3.2 km for primary...
