- Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery: The Role of Engineering in Delivering High-Quality Infrastructure: Discussion (8 Oct 2025)
Réada Cronin: I remember my question. It was around how design stage was critical for value for money. We think about that as being for architects rather than engineers. Are the witnesses saying that if there was more input from engineers at, say, the design stage of the children's hospital, there could have been money saved?

- Environment (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2025: Second Stage (30 Sep 2025)
Réada Cronin: Decades of inaction, mismanagement and a lack of ambition from successive Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael governments have caused Ireland's critical infrastructural deficits to develop into a full-blown crisis across multiple sectors. An Teachta Daly referred to the motion that Sinn Féin brought forward last week and the snail's pace at which the Government has rolled out the transition...

Réada Cronin: What about the impact from allowing 72 hours to elapse before testing the samples?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate, Environment and Energy: Fish Kill in the River Blackwater: Discussion (30 Sep 2025)
Réada Cronin: Why did the Marine Institute find out about the fish kill before the EPA? The Marine Institute found out about the fish kill on the 11th and the EPA claims it found out on the 12th. My apologies for being late but I was contributing to a debate on an environmental Bill in the Dáil. Dr. Ryan said that the EPA did not find out until the 12th but Mr. Long said that the EPA was told on...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate, Environment and Energy: Fish Kill in the River Blackwater: Discussion (30 Sep 2025)
Réada Cronin: I asked because I wondered why there was confusion around that. The results of the EPA's investigation are different from those of the Marine Institute. Does the EPA use different metrics used? Please explain why different conclusions were reached.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate, Environment and Energy: Fish Kill in the River Blackwater: Discussion (30 Sep 2025)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate, Environment and Energy: Fish Kill in the River Blackwater: Discussion (30 Sep 2025)
Réada Cronin: That is good. What preventative measures can the Government take to address the frequency of fish kills in Ireland? Since I was elected five and a half years ago, there have been several fish kills in my constituency, in north Kildare, in the River Rye. The distress that fish kills cause to local fishermen is horrendous and a fish kill has an impact on income as well. Earlier today in...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate, Environment and Energy: Fish Kill in the River Blackwater: Discussion (30 Sep 2025)
Réada Cronin: I have one quick question for Cork County Council. How often does the council collect water samples from the Blackwater? Does it happen on a regular basis or was it just done as a result of this fish kill?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate, Environment and Energy: Fish Kill in the River Blackwater: Discussion (30 Sep 2025)
Réada Cronin: I want to follow on from Teachta Kenny's question about the Marine Institute. I wondered why it took three days to begin processing the samples and it was because the Marine Institute was busy with something else. Could that work have been delegated to Inland Fisheries Ireland? Also, what about the impact of allowing 72 hours to elapse before testing the samples?
