Development of a Liquefied Natural Gas Facility in Ireland: Statements (3 Oct 2019)

Peadar Tóibín: I wish to add my voice to those in opposition. Sometimes there is a chasm between the language that the Government uses around climate change and then its actions. Fracked gas is one of the most dangerous gasses there is, not only in terms of the CO2 it emits but also in the level of methane that is created when it is extracted from the ground and the damage it does to the societies from...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (3 Oct 2019)

Peadar Tóibín: The Tories know very little about Ireland and they care much less. People across the country are starting to realise that. We have realised that because of the Border they have an influence on whether or not we can move people, products and services across Ireland, and that they can also determine whether we have a peaceful future in this country or not. Brexit has highlighted in flashing...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (2 Oct 2019)

Peadar Tóibín: It is not the subject of litigation. The problem is that there is a request for a review and the family have had no input into the composition of the panel or the terms of reference. The Government is refusing the family the opportunity to input into that process. Six months on, it is not good enough.

Peadar Tóibín: The Minister for Health met the family at the centre of the crisis in the National Maternity Hospital on 29 August, which I welcome. This is the case where a healthy baby was aborted under the Government's legislation, under the section concerning life-limiting conditions and fatal foetal abnormalities. It is a heartbreaking situation. The mother has said she was examined by only one...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Meeting on Health Issues: Discussion (2 Oct 2019)

Peadar Tóibín: More than 4,000 women have been affected by the disaster within the CervicalCheck programme in terms of delayed smear test results. Sharon Butler Hughes played a pivotal part in exposing the laboratory computer glitch which resulted in the delay of thousands of screening test results. She has been forced to break her privacy in recent weeks by going public about her concerns in that area....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Meeting on Health Issues: Discussion (2 Oct 2019)

Peadar Tóibín: Sharon Butler Hughes is very disappointed by the fact that the Minister stated that her view is incorrect. Even though she supports the MacCraith report, she is also disappointed by how that aspect has been reported in the report and she wants to meet the Minister. I know the Minister will meet her but he has set out a precondition, namely, that he will not speak to those particular issues....

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Infrastructure and Capital Investment Programme (1 Oct 2019)

Peadar Tóibín: There are two outstanding points with regard to how the general public sees this. The first is that people are shocked at the sheer scale of the financial damage done to the country and shocked at the scale of financial self-harm being wrought by the Government's actions. People see it in their local areas and their local schools that are being threatened with closures. They see the caps...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Infrastructure and Capital Investment Programme (1 Oct 2019)

Peadar Tóibín: The question asks for details of excessive spend on current infrastructure projects or those to be completed in 2019. There is an opportunity cost. If the Government takes money and puts it into one project, it has to come out of another project - it cannot just be developed out of thin air. There is an opportunity cost to the disasters that have happened under the Minister's watch. The...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Infrastructure and Capital Investment Programme (1 Oct 2019)

Peadar Tóibín: Ireland has rare form when it comes to overspending on infrastructural projects. There was the motorway network, Luas, the HSE personnel, payroll and related systems, PPARS, Dublin Port and now we have a national children's hospital and the national broadband plan coming in at an extreme cost. In 2016, the Taoiseach stated that, short of an asteroid hitting the planet, the national...
