- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (10 Nov 2021)
Micheál Martin: The Government has provided funding. This will go to planning in early 2022. The three decisions on BusConnects, DART+ and MetroLink will come to Cabinet shortly, before Christmas and early in the new year-----
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (10 Nov 2021)
Micheál Martin: The bottom line is that there are planning processes we have to get through. We have to get through them.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (10 Nov 2021)
Micheál Martin: No one in here can determine the length of time that will be involved in getting over those timeframes, challenges and so on that inevitably happen with projects as large as this. What has been provided is the funding to underpin the project in the national development plan. The Minister is determined to progress these three key elements of the transport strategy for the greater Dublin area.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (10 Nov 2021)
Micheál Martin: The Minister, Deputy O'Brien, through the Housing for All strategy, has given the most comprehensive and substantive housing programme which will lead to increased supply. The bottom line is the most fundamental way we can ease pressures on rent - there is no question of there being pressures on renters - and the most effective way to deal with it is to increase supply. We had two lockdowns...
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (10 Nov 2021)
Micheál Martin: I have looked at Sinn Féin's policies in Northern Ireland. Deputy McDonald's colleague, the minister, Ms Harrigy MLA, has the responsibility. It is interesting to see we are far more advanced in our legislation on protecting renters than the Sinn Féin minister on the Northern Ireland Executive is. Everything Deputy McDonald has criticised here-----
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (10 Nov 2021)
Micheál Martin: -----Sinn Féin is doing in Northern Ireland and to a lesser extent than we are doing here. Sinn Féin's proposals would not result in a cutting of rent whatsoever and the substance behind the policies it has advanced is fairly threadbare. The approach the Minister has taken on supply and protecting tenants, which Deputies had asked for in this House, has and will be provided for-----

Micheál Martin: This is a well-worn tactic. The Opposition Leader consistently engages in abuse of the House. I have allowed the Deputy to speak, twice, without interruption, but every time I get on my feet, recently-----
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (10 Nov 2021)
Micheál Martin: -----there is an ongoing tactic of intervening all the time because the microphone is live and it is being facilitated and is not correct or proper practice. The bottom line is supply is the answer. I need the co-operation of everyone in the House, including Sinn Féin on the ground, to get supply through and projects delivered.
- Death of Former Member: Expressions of Sympathy (10 Nov 2021)
Micheál Martin: Tá brón orainn go léir sa Teach de dheasca bhás Austin Currie. Ba chóir dúinn machnamh a dhéanamh ar an dlúthról a bhí aige i ngluaisteacht cearta sibhialta an Tuaiscirt. Fear agus polaiteoir den scoth a bhí ann. D'oibrigh sé go dícheallach, Domhnach is dálach, ar son mhuintir na tíre, sa Tuaisceart agus sa...

- Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Schemes (9 Nov 2021)
Micheál Martin: Ó thaobh na ceiste a chur an Teachta McDonald, tá an méid atá ráite aici dochreidte. Níl an Stát i gcoinne saoránaigh na tíre seo ó thaobh na teanga de. Táimid ag tabhairt gach aon tacaíocht don teanga agus do mhuintir na tíre ó thaobh na teanga a chur chun cinn. I find it very difficult to accept the language Deputy...

Micheál Martin: An rud is tábhachtaí ná rudaí a dhéanamh i ngach slí gur féidir linn. Tá TG4 ag ceiliúradh 25 bliain ar an bhfód agus rinneamar an-chuid chun é sin a chur i bhfeidhm, le daoine eile. Ó thaobh na ceiste a chur an Teachta Aindrias Ó Muimhneacháin, agus muid ag déanamh an athbhreithnithe ar an scéim agus ar an Acht,...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: United Nations (9 Nov 2021)
Micheál Martin: Deputy Haughey raised the issue of conflict, Covid and climate. I pay tribute to our ambassador at the UN, Geraldine Byrne Nason, and her team. They have performed excellently on behalf of the country in advancing our agenda, particularly during the presidency of the Security Council. In terms of the motion and the theme we are moving, there were reservations from Russia, India and...

Micheál Martin: Senegal and South Africa will be early beneficiaries of the idea to develop production capacity in those countries and the continent. On Deputy Boyd Barrett's point, because I was in COP and so on I was not in a position to have an in-depth conversation with Coillte. I am not in favour of the sale of forests. There can be local circumstances from time to time, such as sports clubs or...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: United Nations (9 Nov 2021)
Micheál Martin: I said to the Deputy earlier that gas will be a transitional fuel but he did not come back to me on it. Ultimately, fossil fuels have no role in the future of energy supply and we have taken legislative steps to deal with that, as the Deputy knows.
