Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Vacant Properties (26 Jan 2023)

Brendan Griffin: ...important that there would be a budget to create awareness of the scheme and the various differences between the strands of the scheme. That is something that local authorities should be able to tap into to put the scheme out there. That will help take-up. On a related vein, and something I previously raised on a number of occasions, I ask the Minister and the Ministers of State to...

Covid-19 (Tourism): Statements (6 May 2020)

Brendan Griffin: The Deputy is absolutely right. The huge amount of spend by Irish people going abroad to holiday is something that over the years we have been doing our best to tap into more. Our people in Fáilte Ireland do significant work in that regard to try to keep people staying at home - buzzwords we are hearing an awful lot more of lately. That is why, just before this crisis hit us, we...

Other Questions: Road Projects (2 Nov 2016)

Brendan Griffin: ...the past 100 years, it makes this particularly difficult. This would make it viable for people in the entire southern half of County Kerry to commute to Cork safely and in a timely manner and to tap into that expanding jobs market.

Water Sector Reforms: Motion (Resumed) (20 Nov 2014)

Brendan Griffin: ...with water provision and treatment, I come from a county with numerous problems, which are particularly evident in mid-Kerry. From one day to another people cannot depend on the water coming from their taps; therefore, there must be major infrastructural investment, which has not happened. Although he is not present, there is a Deputy across the way who got to make a wish list when he...

National Tourism Development Authority (Amendment) Bill 2011: Second Stage (Resumed) (29 Sep 2011)

Brendan Griffin: ...the development of winter tourism. I feel we can make great progress in that regard. From May to October, Ireland has a fantastic tourist industry but once 1 October arrives it is almost as if a tap has been turned off and the overseas visitor figures drop. There is no reason for that to happen, however. My vision is that Ireland can have a 12-month tourism industry which would sustain...

Harbours and Piers (6 Apr 2011)

Brendan Griffin: ...leeway. There is also a problem with water and refuse charges at the harbour. I am advised that there is a mandatory annual water charge of €360 for those using the pier, although there is no tap there. Water is only accessible through calling an attendant at a charge of €25 per call-out. Local fishermen generally bring their own bottled water on board, yet they must still pay this...
