- Beef Industry: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (25 Jun 2014)
Patrick O'Donovan: I welcome the opportunity to speak on an important motion. I welcome the acknowledgement in the contribution of the Minister of State that the Department sees the plight of farmers across the country. The Minister of State knows my constituency very well and it suffers from a double whammy of severely disadvantaged land and a constituency based on the milk and beef sectors. From attending...
- State Airports (Shannon Group) Bill 2014 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed) (25 Jun 2014)
Patrick O'Donovan: I welcome the opportunity to speak about the Bill. From my viewpoint of representing the mid-western region, the Bill is long overdue. The reason the Bill is important will have been clearly visible to anyone who has been using Shannon Airport in recent years. The carpark at the airport, which is a good indicator of how an airport is performing, was getting increasingly easier to access,...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Luas Cross City Line and Future of Public Transport in Dublin: National Transport Authority (25 Jun 2014)
Patrick O'Donovan: I am not defending the NTA, but I take issue with Deputy Dessie Ellis because I do not think it is entirely Dublin-focused. It knows that I am anything but a cheerleader for it; I acknowledge, however, that it has done considerable work in rural parts of Limerick. It is not solely an urban-based organisation.

Patrick O'Donovan: My apologies for being late. I was at another meeting. I was glad to see when I was coming in that Mr. Murphy was flying the flag for rural Ireland. I will return to an issue I have raised here previously. It looks like I will continue to raise it. I have now become something of a lightning conductor for people who have clear evidence that the small public service vehicles, SPSV,...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Luas Cross City Line and Future of Public Transport in Dublin: National Transport Authority (25 Jun 2014)
Patrick O'Donovan: I will continually raise this issue every time the NTA comes in here during the period I am here. It will not go away. I welcome the fact that the NTA has put this request in place but I would ask that a time frame be put in place. Otherwise, it will go on the never-never and it will never be done.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Luas Cross City Line and Future of Public Transport in Dublin: National Transport Authority (25 Jun 2014)
Patrick O'Donovan: Can I ask one other question? Ordnance Survey Ireland is a fantastic public institution that can divide the country into workable grids for State utilities, the ESB and Bord Gáis and can provide the NTA with excellent mapping. I would prefer if some kind of zoning was done across the country. We should take out the county boundaries and look at where people actually live. Let us...
