Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Dublin-Monaghan Bombings (29 May 2025)

Shane Moynihan: As we have discussed previously, 51 years have passed since the dreadful events of the Dublin and Monaghan bombings in which 33 people lost their lives and hundreds more, including family members of constituents of mine, were injured both physically and mentally. In a week when we spoke in the Dáil about the importance of seeking truth and answers for loved ones, it is very much a fact...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Dublin-Monaghan Bombings (29 May 2025)

Shane Moynihan: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Tánaiste as a fhreagra. As he noted, four all-party motions were passed by the House, in 2008, 2011, 2014 and 2016, urging full co-operation from the British Government. It seems the citation of national security as grounds not to enable that co-operation is held up as a flag. He mentioned Operation Denton, which is a welcome development in terms of...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (29 May 2025)

Shane Moynihan: As I have said in the House in the past, I represent Dublin Mid-West, one of the fastest growing constituencies in the country. I wish to ask the Tánaiste about secondary school places for the people of Newcastle, which is the fastest growing town in Europe. At the county development plan stage in 2022, it was forecast that by 2028, 5,000 people would be living there. However, the...

Committee on Transport: Election of Leas-Chathaoirleach (28 May 2025)

In that vein and spirit, I will not delay the meeting further. I look forward to...

Committee on Transport: National Transport Authority: Engagement (28 May 2025)

Shane Moynihan: It is good to see the witnesses again and I thank them for coming in. I will get straight into it because I have a number of issues to cover that relate primarily to the commuter experience. Perhaps in his first response, Mr. Creegan might give me a sense of how the NTA puts the commuter experience at the centre of what it does. I represent a large Dublin constituency. The electrification...

Committee on Transport: National Transport Authority: Engagement (28 May 2025)

Committee on Transport: National Transport Authority: Engagement (28 May 2025)

Shane Moynihan: Going back to the staggered bus routes, I take the point that, conceptually, there is no issue with it but is the NTA proactively engaging with providers to allow it? Is there an example where this has been done in the past or where it is working on doing it with a use case being manifested in the future?

Committee on Transport: National Transport Authority: Engagement (28 May 2025)

Shane Moynihan: It happens.

Committee on Transport: National Transport Authority: Engagement (28 May 2025)

Shane Moynihan: I have spoken to Mr. Creegan about the Luas for Lucan and how important that is to me. That is something that should be prioritised. I ask for an update on reforms that are being made to the NTA app. I find it interesting the NTA app can push updates about fare increases but cannot necessarily give an overview of the performance or effectiveness of the route a user will usually use on that...

Committee on Transport: National Transport Authority: Engagement (28 May 2025)

Shane Moynihan: The creation of a transport security force is an important commitment in the programme for Government. Will Mr. Creegan comment on what progress is being made towards realising that commitment and on the overall security and safety strategy for the public transport system? In cities and towns around the country, there are issues with the supply of taxis. What steps is the NTA taking to...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (27 May 2025)

Shane Moynihan: The Taoiseach and I have discussed in the past the importance of recognising the efforts that go into sustaining and growing a business. As an important thing, it should be a feature of our political discourse. Core to our growth as a country in the future, as Deputy Dolan said, is the growth of indigenous enterprises, those that move from start-ups to scale-ups, and thinking about how we...

I am also encouraged by the fact that the Taoiseach raised the US Administration's interest in Northern Ireland with the...
