Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Energy - Ambition and Challenges: Discussion (Resumed) (8 Mar 2022)

Lynn Boylan: I have a brief follow-up question. I welcome what Mr. Coyle said about An Bord Pleanála being properly resourced. He made reference to Scotland and seals and propellers. Is there similar evidence for cetaceans? One of the fears is not even the wind farm itself but the construction of the wind farm, the sonar and noise under the water for whales and dolphins. We heard from the Wind...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Energy - Ambition and Challenges: Discussion (Resumed) (8 Mar 2022)

Lynn Boylan: My questions are for the Department of Finance. I will pick up on the concerns the Chair raised on the EU taxonomy. What sort of risk analysis has been done on the provisions of the Energy Charter Treaty to which Ireland is a signatory? The Department of Finance officials said it was an evolving process and gas may change over time but once an investor comes and is set up, the investor...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Energy - Ambition and Challenges: Discussion (Resumed) (8 Mar 2022)

Lynn Boylan: I do not know how one follows up on that.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Energy - Ambition and Challenges: Discussion (Resumed) (8 Mar 2022)

Lynn Boylan: This week there was a further round of negotiations to reform it which failed. We are on the hook in that any investment that comes in will have protection and access to the investor-state dispute settlement, ISDS, court system. If we change the EU taxonomy rules or anything like that for investors, once they have established here, they will be able to avail of those provisions under the...

Seanad: Animal Health and Welfare and Forestry (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (3 Mar 2022)

Lynn Boylan: I wanted to speak on amendment No. 3 but it was ruled out of order. I want the opportunity to reintroduce these proposals on Report Stage. I want to put that on the record in the context of amendment No. 3.

Seanad: Animal Health and Welfare and Forestry (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (3 Mar 2022)

Lynn Boylan: Did the Acting Chairperson not call out amendment No. 3?

Seanad: Animal Health and Welfare and Forestry (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (3 Mar 2022)

Lynn Boylan: Okay.

Seanad: Animal Health and Welfare and Forestry (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (3 Mar 2022)

Lynn Boylan: The points I hoped to make were made by Senator Gavan during our previous debate on this issue. When we initially raised concerns around the Control of Dogs Act and the Animal Health and Welfare Act, we were told it was strictly to do with fur farming.We were then able to bring in amendments to deal with forestry, so if the scope of the Bill has been expanded, I do not understand why it...

Seanad: Animal Health and Welfare and Forestry (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (3 Mar 2022)

Lynn Boylan: I know, you are just doing your job, Acting Chairperson, and I am just doing mine.

Seanad: Animal Health and Welfare and Forestry (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (3 Mar 2022)

Lynn Boylan: I do not know whether it is because spring is in the air but this week in the House we have agreed on many issues, such as offering solidarity to Ukraine and today with Linda Ervine. The Minister can hear there is a united front on addressing concerns for workers and farmers and the compensation scheme. He can also hear from everybody who is speaking that we are all desperately trying to...

Seanad: Sea-Fisheries (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2021: Committee Stage (2 Mar 2022)

Lynn Boylan: I move amendment No. 1: In page 12, line 26, to delete “on the balance of probabilities” and substitute “beyond a reasonable doubt”. From the Dáil debates the Minister will be aware that Sinn Féin's position is that we will not support the Bill. We are not opposed to a penalty points system but it must be a fair system. We do not believe that this...

Seanad: Sea-Fisheries (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2021: Committee Stage (2 Mar 2022)

Lynn Boylan: I do not accept what the Minister is saying. I do think any industry would tolerate beyond reasonable doubt as to the balance of probabilities. I am sure the Minister is familiar, being from Killybegs, with the issues the fishermen are facing up there and the manner in which they have been policed. We will push the amendment.

Seanad: Sea-Fisheries (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2021: Committee Stage (2 Mar 2022)

Lynn Boylan: I would like to respond because as I said, we are not opposed to a penalty points system. The Minister makes the comparison with the road traffic penalty points system, but my understanding is that if you appeal the penalty points in the court, you are allowed to have those penalty points quashed, whereas when we get to amendment No. 6, the right to allow the innocent to clear his or her...

Seanad: Sea-Fisheries (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2021: Committee Stage (2 Mar 2022)

Lynn Boylan: I move amendment No. 2: In page 12, line 41, to delete “an Irish” and substitute “a European”. My points will address all the amendments in this grouping. It seeks to delete "an Irish" and substitute it with "a European". This amendment comes from the same place of concern for the sector that it is being unfairly treated at a time when the Irish fishing...

Seanad: Sea-Fisheries (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2021: Committee Stage (2 Mar 2022)

Lynn Boylan: I do not accept the Minister’s arguments. The Irish fishing industry has been treated very differently from the rest of the European fishing industries in respect of the competition they are up against.
