Éamon Ó Cuív: The Minister for Transport is always boasting about the Connecting Ireland programme and, on the surface, it looks good that we are, at last, getting some rural public transport services. There are two services in Connemara from An Cheathrú Rua to Claremorris and from An Cheathrú Rua to Clifden. So far, so good. There is only one snag which is that, with a bus service, you need...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Wind Energy Guidelines (21 May 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: This reply is unusually helpful. We normally get two or three pages that never address the issue until the last three lines. I thank the Minister of State for that and for the effort that has been put into giving a meaningful answer. I think he would agree it would a reasonable supposition that whatever guidelines are brought in on land in terms of height versus setback would apply on near...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire Stáit as ucht teacht isteach agus é seo a thógáil. It is fitting that today, when I did something I only do once a week and collected my post in Leinster House, I got Government notice of statutory instruments designating special areas of conservation in County Galway, for the attention of land owners and land users. These are...
