- Seanad: Order of Business (6 Feb 2018)
Michelle Mulherin: I was quite dismayed today to see headlines in at least one newspaper highlighting the National Transport Authority's report on rail, and to see that it was the lead story. This is a report that was published in November 2016, which dumbs down the economic need for vital transport infrastructure, particularly rail, in the west and north-west regions. It is very telling that this report...

Michelle Mulherin: When it comes to bus services, it is one crisis after another and now we are being told that the trains could be gone. It was the same with Colm McCarthy. This threat is constantly hanging over us. The reasons regularly given are economies of scale and include in what we need to invest and so on. We do need to have a debate and some facts and figures. Last year passenger numbers on the...

Michelle Mulherin: When Knock airport carried out a survey recently, it showed that there was a population of 1.2 million living within 90 minutes of the airport. They are paying taxes. Let us have a debate about the subsidisation of public transport. My understanding is the DART is the most subsidised mode of transport, not services in the west. Let us have the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport...
- Seanad: Order of Business (1 Feb 2018)
Michelle Mulherin: I wish to comment on the national broadband plan. Without doubt, yesterday represents a very significant development whereby Eir withdrew from the tender process. It is imperative that the Minister comes to the House to debate the matter. Such a debate must be one that constitutes more than a wringing of hands on the part of the Opposition - in delight, I might add. Broadband is, as many...

Michelle Mulherin: I raise the issue of hedge cutting, which is a plague in rural highways and byways. I call for a co-ordinated approach between the ESB, eir and the county councils. There are many areas where the hedges are never cut. In other places, it is haphazard. With a pooling of resources, we could achieve far more hedge cutting.It really is a road safety issue in many areas of the country that do...

Michelle Mulherin: I welcome the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, Deputy Katherine Zappone, to the House.
- Seanad: Agricultural Issues: Statements (24 Jan 2018)
Michelle Mulherin: I welcome the Minister. Without a doubt the most immediate and pressing issue in the north and north west of the country is fodder. The continuously wet weather that people have been experiencing more or less since last summer, as previously outlined, has affected farmers' ability to save silage, hay and so on. It has also caused them to house animals at an early stage, putting more...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Roles, Responsibilities and Key Programmes of Bord Bia: Discussion (23 Jan 2018)
Michelle Mulherin: I am sure Ms McCarthy noted in November that the Citizens' Assembly delivered a damning indictment of Irish agriculture. I think 89% called for a tax on greenhouse gas emissions in agriculture. Was Bord Bia invited to present at the Citizens' Assembly? What is its view in relation to that particular proposition and, to me, the very negative view put on the efforts being made by farmers to...
