Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Fuel Quality (4 May 2023)

Carol Nolan: I thank the Minister of State for his response. Regarding the safety issues I referred to, it has been brought to my attention that E10 petrol has a higher level of bioethanol, which is corrosive to gasket seals, metals, plastics and many other materials. If a rubber hose or seal gets damaged from using E10 fuel and it fails, spraying high-pressure petrol around the engine bay that then...

Carol Nolan: Will the Minister of State update me on the work his Department has done on increasing and supporting the use of E10 fuels?

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Fuel Quality (4 May 2023)

Carol Nolan: It would be wrong to dismiss any potential safety issues associated with E10 fuel as being caused by a lack of maintenance. That is the wrong approach. Can this matter be looked into? If there are safety issues, it is serious. Certainly, the information I have to hand suggests the move to E10 petrol will put people's lives in danger. My correspondent who works in the motor industry tells...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (27 Apr 2023)

Carol Nolan: Electricity and energy prices continue to financially cripple families and businesses throughout this State. This is happening despite a quantifiable drop in natural gas prices, which determine electricity costs. Electricity companies have not acted.

Agricultural and Food Supply Chain Bill 2022: Report Stage (26 Apr 2023)

Carol Nolan: It is not just the Rural Independent Group that is saying farmers are very concerned. Deputy McNamara and many others on this side of the House are saying it too, as, I am sure, are members of the Minister's party and other parties in government. Macra na Feirme does not often organise marches. It is only when it has a genuine case, an urgent need arises or an obstacle occurs that we see...

Agricultural and Food Supply Chain Bill 2022: Report Stage (26 Apr 2023)

Carol Nolan: Today, as has been mentioned, Macra na Feirme came to Leinster House and launched its campaign, Steps for our Future. I commend each of their members. They are young farmers fighting for their futures. I, and many others, believe that we need to get to grips with the issue of generational renewal. The reason that has become such an issue and many people have been put off going into...
