- Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages (21 Sep 2022)
Richard O'Donoghue: Amendments Nos. 10 to 16, inclusive, relate to pedal bicycles and pedal tricycles. I believe that those are the amendments we are on, along with amendment No. 2. Is that right?
- Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages (21 Sep 2022)
Richard O'Donoghue: That includes electric vehicles. I have nothing at all against electric vehicles if they are to be used by people in areas where they can actually use them, but I look around this country and see the age of the vehicles and the age groups of people who have cars. I am a father of four. There are nine people in my house but seven cars. They all go in different directions and do different...
- Screening of Third Country Transactions Bill 2022: Second Stage (21 Sep 2022)

- Screening of Third Country Transactions Bill 2022: Second Stage (21 Sep 2022)
Richard O'Donoghue: From a map that I have in front of me here, it looks obvious as a country that we stand out as having no screening mechanism in place when it comes to FDI. Figures released by the CSO in June 2022 show the FDI position in Ireland increased by approximately €16.9 billion in 2020 to €1.1 trillion. When compared to other OECD countries, Ireland is one of the most globalised...
- Energy Security: Motion [Private Members] (21 Sep 2022)
Richard O'Donoghue: What is energy security? The basic aim of energy security for any country is to reduce the dependency on imported energy sources for economic growth. Can the Minister tell me why this is not happening? Ireland is the most energy import dependent country in Europe. We have no storage capacity for our gas and there are no plans to reopen or upgrade existing facilities such as that in...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues at the Emergency Department of University Hospital Limerick Raised in the HIQA Report: Discussion (21 Sep 2022)
Richard O'Donoghue: I welcome the management of UHL to the committee. I would love to see UHL being the top hospital in the country. I have had family who trained in the hospital in earlier years and are near retirement age now. It was - and I emphasise "was" - the best training hospital in the country at that time. Student nurses wanted to go there to be trained because of what it meant to be trained in UHL....

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues at the Emergency Department of University Hospital Limerick Raised in the HIQA Report: Discussion (21 Sep 2022)
Richard O'Donoghue: Okay. Other incidents have happened in the hospital and it takes so long for legal to find out what happens. There is a cost to that, when that money could be used otherwise if somebody says we got it wrong and should put our hands up, that it should have been identified and reported, that we could have helped faster and used the money being used on legal - which is rising in UHL in the...

- National Retrofit Plan: Motion [Private Members] (20 Sep 2022)
Richard O'Donoghue: The national retrofit plan is not working. The SEAI has confirmed that it is now taking up to 28 months for applications to the warmer homes scheme to be dealt with. I am a contractor. I flagged this issue 12 months ago when the Minister, Deputy Ryan, was looking at bringing out this retrofit system. I also said that it would not provide value for money at a time of an energy crisis and...
