Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Road Projects (28 Feb 2024)

Seán Sherlock: I note the Minister of State’s comparison between Athy and Mallow. They are very similar towns. I note the benefits accruing to the people of Fermoy now as a result of the recent allocation. The reason I know about Athy is that my colleague, Senator Mark Wall, has been a strong advocate for it, as the Minister of State knows. His father, Jack Wall, probably got the project put on...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Road Projects (28 Feb 2024)

Seán Sherlock: I raise the issue of the abysmal allocation made by Transport Infrastructure Ireland, TII, in respect of progressing the Mallow northern relief road scheme when the allocations for 2024 were announced recently. The allocation made for the Mallow relief road, as we call it, was €300,000. This is a paltry figure given that the project is progressing rapidly. A preferred route has been...

Select Committee on Education and Skills: Research and Innovation Bill 2024: Committee Stage (28 Feb 2024)

Seán Sherlock: I note what the Minister said in respect of amendment No. 8. In that context, I am happy to withdraw amendments Nos. 7 and 11. If I understand what he said correctly, the purpose of amendment No. 8 is to seek to draw down as much funding from entities like the ERC, through Horizon and so on. That is laudable. I would have thought that would be obvious anyway, but I think the Minister may...

Select Committee on Education and Skills: Research and Innovation Bill 2024: Committee Stage (28 Feb 2024)

Seán Sherlock: On amendment No. 16, I note that the Minister in his correspondence to me specifically references the need to ensure that individuals who are on the board will have governance experience. The current travails of RTÉ makes that all the more important. I welcome that. The amendment is similar to Deputy Farrell's amendment in that we merely want to ensure that there are people who are...
