Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (21 Jun 2023)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I spoke earlier about the issue of geothermal. If it is feasible to carry out some of these schemes, we need to make sure we have a support scheme for renewable heat, SSRH, grant scheme in play. Have any thoughts been given since Deputy Brady's proposed legislation on the banning of the Ireland Strategic Investment Fund, ISIF, which is obviously a State entity, from investing in companies...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Climate Action Plan (21 Jun 2023)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I previously brought up the issue of Carlinn Hall and the communal heating system fed by gas. There is a particular issue with these designs. The district heating steering group would need to report. I like to think that report would contain that sort of information. A geothermal feasibility study has been carried out in Carlinn Hall. In fairness, as I said, the Taoiseach's office came...

Home Care and Support Services: Motion [Private Members] (21 Jun 2023)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: It is not the first time we have dealt with home support and home care packages. I thank the Regional Group for putting this vital issue front and centre. It is a pity we are still talking about this. We all speak about how we want to facilitate people to be able to live in their own homes. The problem is that we are not very good at putting in place those pieces that allow this to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: EU Security and Defence Policy: Discussion (21 Jun 2023)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: Go raibh maith agat to Mr. McNamara and Dr. Fitzsimmons. I thank them very much for coming in. I am sorry - I had to speak in the Dáil and then I had made an arrangement with the Irish Wheelchair Association. I agree with what was said earlier; the witnesses were very direct and straight about the points they made. I imagine much of what I was going to ask has been asked. There is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: EU Security and Defence Policy: Discussion (21 Jun 2023)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I refer to opt in co-operation. It was shown across the European Union during Covid that, while we had no health competence, we were able to do an opt in because it suited all of us in terms of pharmaceutical block buys, etc.

Ruairí Ó Murchú: Tá ceist amháin agam faoin mhangainéis. Tá a lán fadhbanna maidir le mangainéis i nDún Dealgan faoi láthair. Thuairisc mé cheana féin go bhfuil a lán staidéir á dhéanamh ag Uisce Éireann, an EPA agus achan duine eile. Níl daoine cinnte cén fáth a bhfuil níos mó mangainéis san uisce....

Ruairí Ó Murchú: Táim ag iarraidh a fháil amach cén sórt ama atá i gceist. Is dócha nach bhfuil an t-eolas sin ag na finnéithe faoin am seo. Dúirt duine liom cheana féin go bhfuil bealach eile ann chun an clóirín a chur isteach. Is féidir cineál gáis a úsáid. Níl an fhadhb chéanna leis an ngás atá leis an...

Ruairí Ó Murchú: Is that not also part of the problem? It is the ceangal or the reaction that causes the darkness, is it not?

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Defence Forces (20 Jun 2023)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I absolutely agree that we want to see justice. We also want to see a fair trial. Based on what the Tánaiste said, there will be plenty of interaction and eyes on this from our point of view. It was necessary that UNIFIL carried out its particular investigation. Obviously, our Defence Forces have their piece of work to do. This needs to be followed up with a Garda inquiry. All of...

Ruairí Ó Murchú: 116. To ask the Taoiseach and Minister for Defence his views on the progress being made in the investigation into the death in Lebanon of UNIFIL soldier Private Seán Rooney; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29526/23]

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Defence Forces (20 Jun 2023)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I thank the Tánaiste for the answer he has given. Obviously, the loss of Private Seán Rooney was a huge loss to his family and the 27th Infantry Battalion in Dundalk. We all want justice done. Some of my questions are the same as those of Deputy Cowen. I accept that the Tánaiste might not be able to go into sufficient detail but we want to be sure that his interactions with...

LGBTQI+ Equality: Statements (20 Jun 2023)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I also follow up with our support and solidarity, particularly at this time as we look forward to Pride. We accept that huge strides have been made over the past 50 years but there is still a hell of a lot more to do and we need to ensure that everything is done to ensure absolute equality for all those in the LGBTQI+ community. I wish to raise an issue relating to Outcomers. The...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Equality Issues (20 Jun 2023)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: The Women's Aid annual report was published and makes for very stark reading. We are talking about nearly 34,000 disclosures of domestic violence. We know this is right across Irish society, including public bodies. We need to know what plans are in place to ensure we can provide the rights and protections these women deserve. To these figures I will add a number of figures which...
