Eoin Ó Broin: Can I chair from my seat to save me moving?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Water Quality and Infrastructure: Environmental Protection Agency (14 Oct 2021)

Eoin Ó Broin: I have two supplementary questions and then I will return to the questions we did not get time to deal with initially. Returning to Dr. Ryan's comments with respect to comparisons between Leixlip and the recent incidents, he stated that similar issues arose but were not escalated. The non-escalation is what potentially made the more recent ones more significant. Part of my original...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Water Quality and Infrastructure: Environmental Protection Agency (14 Oct 2021)

Eoin Ó Broin: I have a supplementary question because that is very interesting. My memory from Leixlip is that four separate alarms were missed. It was only when there was a changeover in staff that the staff member who came in recognised the alarms and took action. Am I right in interpreting that Dr. Minihan is saying that in the cases of Gorey and Ballymore Eustace, alarms were going off for a longer...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Water Quality and Infrastructure: Environmental Protection Agency (14 Oct 2021)

Eoin Ó Broin: Deputy Devlin had a good question about bathing water. Dr. Ryan said that somebody was going to come back to that topic. Perhaps in my last section somebody could reply to that. There were two questions I asked previously that the witnesses did not have time to answer. Could Mr. Byrne come back on when he thinks the 13 agglomerations will be in compliance? Could he also comment on the...

Financial Resolutions 2021 - Financial Resolution No. 2: General (Resumed) (13 Oct 2021)

Eoin Ó Broin: I have to say, "Dear, oh dear, oh dear, what has got into the Minister for housing?" Not only was his short intervention ill-tempered but he did not even have the courtesy to remain and listen to Opposition spokespeople. Not only is he unwilling to debate us on the airwaves, it appears he is not even willing to sit and listen to what we have to say in the Chamber. People can make up their...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Traveller Accommodation: Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (12 Oct 2021)

Eoin Ó Broin: To pick up on the Minister of State’s last two comments, I am not so sure about the commitment. I will explain why in a moment. Equally, I do not see any energy evident in tackling the issues we are dealing with. Those of us who have large Traveller-specific sites in our constituencies, as many of us here do, know that the conditions in which adults and children continue to live are...
