National Broadband Procurement Process: Statements (7 Feb 2018)

Seán Sherlock: I will begin by examining some of the Minister's speech to the House tonight. This debate is a continuation of the one on the Fianna Fáil Private Members' motion that was before the House last night. If I read the political landscape correctly that the Opposition will support the motion, then I do not see why we could not have a short, sharp review. The Minister's response to that was...

National Broadband Procurement Process: Statements (7 Feb 2018)

Seán Sherlock: -----what is the legal status of that document? It is clear that it has no real legal status. While the Minister may come in here and say that 121,000 houses have been passed by, I can say that of those 121,000 that are in this plan for 300,000 plan-----

National Broadband Procurement Process: Statements (7 Feb 2018)

Seán Sherlock: -----which the Minister has given to us, in the phalanx of information that we have received.

It is in some of the correspondence that we received because I could wallpaper this Chamber with the amount of paper I have received on this issue from the Minister in the last 48 hours. His new-found...

National Broadband Procurement Process: Statements (7 Feb 2018)

Seán Sherlock: The Minister raised the Fianna Fáil Private Members' motion. Yesterday, I asked about red-line issues. The Minister has published documentation exchanged between himself and Mr. Moat on the red-line issues. We have had no articulation from the Minister as to what those issues were between Eir and the Government. The Minister seeks to be non-partisan on this. As soon as he decided...

National Broadband Procurement Process: Statements (7 Feb 2018)

Seán Sherlock: I am sorry. The Minister said "Yes", but the people who live in that enclave of 12 houses are scratching their heads and wondering why, if Eir was so committed to this process, that it passed 12 houses on the same stretch of road. What was that all about? That causes great confusion for many families depending on this scheme. I am hopeful that we can get to a point where the 100%...

Petroleum and Other Minerals Development (Amendment) (Climate Emergency Measures) Bill 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (7 Feb 2018)

Seán Sherlock: The Labour Party is supporting the Bill. We wish to see it proceed to Committee Stage. It is great to stand in the Chamber and hear the voice of a young child in the Public Gallery.

In Paris in December 2015, Ireland agreed to...
