Biodiversity Week: Statements (21 May 2025)

Joe Neville: I will not make a grand speech about something I have always been involved in, but biodiversity was something I always just knew about. On the farm where my mam grew up in north Roscommon or the farm my uncle had, there were meadows and bees but I never thought too much about biodiversity. I grew up in a housing estate in Leixlip. We were out and about and parks were just for playing...

Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery: Large-scale Capital Projects: Discussion (21 May 2025)

Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery: Large-scale Capital Projects: Discussion (21 May 2025)

Joe Neville: I thank Mr. Cleary for that clarity. It was around the movement and the change in the area because I would not have known. That is why I asked what might seem like basic questions and about ultimately how that will be delivered out around the country. Those blockages Mr. Cleary referenced are such key challenges. We all have a fair idea what they are but as Mr. Cleary said, until we can...
