Professor Louise Crowley: The influencers are tapping into that want and need young men have, and they have had that need forever, although, obviously, the pandemic shone a light on it. What we need to do, and what we do with the Bystander programme, is provide those safe spaces, start those conversations and give them the language. Even though cohorts of young men are sometimes quite...

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Finance (No. 2) Bill 2023: Committee Stage (7 Nov 2023)

Damien English: ...development tax credit have been out there for quite a while. This information was captured in the last two science strategies. Every policy aim has been to try to encourage more of our SMEs to tap into the opportunities presented by research and development. It is driven through local enterprise offices, Enterprise Ireland and other forms of State engagement. In effect, a research and...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Water Quality (26 Oct 2023)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: ...Treatment in 2022. Broadly-speaking, the EPA has been doing an excellent job in assessing the quality of water in our rivers, lakes, streams, groundwater and seawater, and even the water in our taps, which, by extension, finds its way into our bodies. The EPA report is focused on urban wastewater treatment. It is shocking that we are still not reaching the standards of the urban...

James O'Connor: ...in July prior to these floods taking place, but during 2022, water outages were very common. It is so frustrating for the families and those involved who want to try to get safe water to the taps in their homes and to the showers, for sanitation, for drinking and for other use as well. I get the impression if this happened in Dublin, it would not be a problem and that it would be dealt...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (25 Oct 2023)

Holly Cairns: .... It has a massive and far-reaching impact. I am glad the Taoiseach has said he is looking at a national land use plan. Ultimately, what we have with regard to climate change is that the tap is on. The approach so far has been to keep mopping the water off the floor when the tap is running. Maybe we replace the floor and build a wall around the sink. We do not actually turn the tap...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Engagement with Chairperson of Enterprise Ireland (25 Oct 2023)

Matt Shanahan: ...and being kept recurring. I have asked before why can we not allow people to access some of those and see if they can spin some of that stuff out? It is very difficult but there is a rich vein to tap in trying to marry up clever people with clever technologies that need to be developed. The other point relates to VC access. As Mr. Carey knows, it is a real problem for start-ups and for...

Matt Shanahan: ...and Cork health industries by pressing ahead while other regions have been visibly left to starve. Six years later, the only answer to our woeful health system is to throw money at it or else turn off the tap, creating further system failure and further dysfunction. We have the data to tell us where we have spent money; we never seem to have them to tell us where we have wasted it. In...

...also looking for alternative sources. We have done well, for example, from the shared island fund, building collaborative research links there.

Capital Support for Sports Facilities: Statements (19 Oct 2023)

Chris Andrews: ...case for the need to invest in sport. It highlighted the immense potential that Irish football has. Despite the best efforts of League of Ireland clubs and the FAI, this potential has barely been tapped into. As I have said, there is massive potential. They are operating with one hand tied behind their back due to the lack of support from the Government. Last week we heard the exciting...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: Unlocking EU Funding: Discussion (18 Oct 2023)

Mr. Terence Connolly: I will answer the Dublin question. I do not have an exact figure but the presence of the big universities in Dublin means that much is drawn down. Dublin City Council has tapped into that and set up connections. Horizon Europe works closely with universities. It aligns with what the Commission wants, which is to get the research out of the university and to the...

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Credit Union (Amendment) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (18 Oct 2023)

Pearse Doherty: .... They will only be deemed a member of that credit union for that service, to get a mortgage, and will remain a member for as long as the mortgage exists. As we know, as years go on, people may tap into their mortgages. They may want a top-up, which is not a new mortgage but is a release of equity. That cannot be done with another institution because there is already a burden on the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Transport Research Arena Event in April 2024: Discussion (18 Oct 2023) See 1 other result from this debate

Dr. Ciaran McNally: For this particular task, one of the things we are trying to do is tap into a lot of the existing work that is happening in this space. For example, Science Foundation Ireland would have continued activities engaging with schools across the country. We provide a good focus for that, effectively. As well as the engagement, students also see the application through the...

Financial Resolutions 2023 - Financial Resolution No. 4: General (Resumed) (11 Oct 2023)

Mick Barry: ...was three times the local property tax and had very little effect. It has gone up to five times the local property tax, but I predict that will have very little effect either. The Government has gone from giving a tap on the wrist to a slap on the wrist, but speculators are still likely to make more money by leaving properties idle, letting the price rise and pocketing the gains rather...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Road Projects (5 Oct 2023)

Eamon Ryan: ...that in recent tenders. We often have to make hard choices. Those hard choices have to advance some projects over others. Despite some of the earlier conversations, there is not an endless tap of money. That requires difficult political decisions. If we are to invest further in some projects, it means we have to invest less in others. That presents a real political challenge.

Lynn Ruane: ...college places and having more ambitious quotas on the intersectionality of not only students but also staff. Looking at the access programme, and I am a graduate of the Trinity access programme, TAP, it kind of supports its own existence now. There are only, say, 20 mature students going through that every year. That is more than 20 years in place. Why are there still only 20...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Enhanced Transport and Mobility Support Options for People with Disabilities: Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (4 Oct 2023)

...travel schemes. In Scotland, they had a scheme called the Postbus, which disappeared after the Covid-19 pandemic. I do not know why that was. These schemes were very interesting in how they tapped into community-based schemes that worked in certain localities and maximised how they could best serve. They used phrases like "collect and connect". Schemes like that would collect an...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Climate Action Plan (3 Oct 2023)

Leo Varadkar: ...network to accommodate this shift and providing the enhanced storage and interconnection capacity that will be required. We also discussed the industrial and development potential that will arise from Ireland tapping into the enormous renewable energy resource that we have on land and at sea. The possibility of Ireland producing far more electricity than we consume is very real. This...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Current Issues Facing Members of the Defence Forces: Representative Association of Commissioned Officers (3 Oct 2023)

...told that people are the number one capability and I think everyone would be in agreement on that. However, we are now probably approaching a stage given our deficiencies in strength where if the taps were turned on in the morning in terms of recruitment and we had many applicants and tried to bring people in, I do not think we would have sufficient numbers or the ability to train a large...
