Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Finance and Economics: Discussion (Resumed) (28 Sep 2023)

.... It is a question of how to get some of the investments happening on an all-island basis. The mindset of being able to present the offering of an investment anywhere on the island so as to be able to tap into what needs to be an improving and more advanced labour force represents a great opportunity. I would like to make a quick comment on the economies of scale and infrastructure....

Mary Fitzpatrick: ...business being there. The reason they were there was that they were not known. They were able to get up to these activities and there was not an auntie or grannie or garda who would actually know who they were and tap them on the shoulder. It is really important, not just in the city but right around the country, that we have gardaí assigned on a geographic basis. I know the Garda...

...companies we invest in. That is determined by a company coming to us, setting out its business case, the business plan for what it is trying to achieve, the potential of the market it is trying to tap into and the stage of the journey the company is on, in respect of whether it is a start-up company, and whether it needs capital support, support around research and development or support...

Dessie Ellis: ...and I hope it will become the norm eventually. I observed something in Majorca and would like to hear the witnesses' thoughts on it. It relates to the way bank cards are used on the buses. You tap your card and it registers one passenger, and you can pay for up to four people with one card. It is half the price. When you are getting off the bus, you do the same. I know that people...

...not properly understood by certain local authorities, which are still preparing policies on it. We only produce about 2 MW of energy from biogas currently. It is a huge resource that we could tap into. The committee heard that we need 12 GW of renewable energy, which is a monstrous amount. On the flipside of that, it would appear that we do not have the physical infrastructure to...

Cathal Berry: ...of the universality of the electricity credit. It should be straightforward - the Minister of State has a tech background - to have a module on an energy company's website where the meter number can be tapped in and people can waive their right to the electricity credit.

Local Government (Mayor of Limerick) Bill 2023: Second Stage (20 Sep 2023)

Brian Leddin: .... It is fair to say there was a lacklustre appetite for the reform from within established politics, not in Limerick but generally, and I would say that is still the case. The campaign was able to tap into a centuries-old tradition in our home city, a tradition of independence, autonomy, and I dare say, rebelliousness, that is in the DNA of Limerick.

...are family-run businesses spread throughout the 32 counties and they are very rural and have a rural basis. Maybe there is a perception that we are commercial and, as a result, we are not able to tap into the likes of the Sport Ireland funding for capital investment and so on, so we are at a huge disadvantage there.

There is energy and excitement among people with disabilities. If we tapped into these, we would certainly be making society better. I referred to the Danish model several times.
