Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Retrofitting Schemes: Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (11 Oct 2022)

Lynn Boylan: Brilliant. That would be great. I return to the hub controller because I am not clear on it. I think it was Mr. O'Mahony who was very categorical in saying the likes of the hub controller is still something people can opt for and they can still get funding provided to have these installed in their houses. However, when I met the organisation that provides these it said with the changes...

Lynn Boylan: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit go dtí an Teach. We know that aviation's climate impact is disproportionate and it continues to grow quickly.

In just one hour, a single private jet can emit 2 tonnes of CO2 whereas the...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Aviation Industry (6 Oct 2022)

Lynn Boylan: I thank the Leas-Chathaoirleach. I also thank the Minister of State, Deputy Fleming, for the apology, which I accept completely. I am glad he was able to take the matter today. I see a glimmer of hope in the response he gave. It is interesting that again France seems to be leading the way in innovative approaches to climate action. I had a Commencement matter last week looking at the ban...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (5 Oct 2022)

Lynn Boylan: I too raise the comments from IBEC. They are deeply disappointing. Once again, IBEC finds itself on the wrong side of history.It has objected to the minimum wage. It has objected to environmental measures. Now IBEC is looking for survivors of domestic violence to prove they are actually suffering from domestic violence, to avoid what IBEC says is potential abuse of this leave. This...

Lynn Boylan: Ar dtús báire, cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit go dtí an Teach. Like those who have spoken before me, I wish to put on record how welcome it is that we are finally updating a legislative framework for the abstraction of water in this country. This legislation has been much delayed. Maybe the Minister of State can tackle the equally archaic and environmentally...

Seanad: Passport Office: Motion (5 Oct 2022)

Lynn Boylan: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit. My colleague, Senator Ó Donnghaile, has outlined clearly why a Passport Office branch in the North makes sense. In 2020 the number of Irish passports being issued in the North surpassed British passports for the first time. A total of 48,555 citizens applied for a British passport, which was 356 fewer than those who opted for an Irish...
