Michelle Mulherin: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit. I thank the Ceann Comhairle for selecting this matter for discussion. The delay in progressing and delivering flood defence works in Crossmolina is unacceptable. People living in the town are frustrated, angry and afraid, there having almost been another flooding incident on the last weekend of August. The history of the problem long predates...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Flood Relief Schemes Status (25 Sep 2019)

Michelle Mulherin: While I do not doubt the Minister of State's sincerity in this matter, I do not think this is acceptable. Even if it will only provide some relief, the river should be dredged. An environmental impact report was published in May 2018. There has been more environmental investigation since, including hydrological and geological investigation. A balance must be struck between the people on...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Carbon Tax: Discussion (25 Sep 2019)

Michelle Mulherin: Reference was made to the three definitions on energy poverty and how they are measured. In the case of fuel poverty within the home, people are assisted with the fuel allowance payment. In terms of the definitions, I would imagine the net is cast wider than people in receipt of social welfare benefits and would include people on low incomes because they will also be hit by a carbon tax,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Carbon Tax: Discussion (25 Sep 2019)

How are we going to protect those people?

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (24 Sep 2019)

Michelle Mulherin: I welcome the cessation of blockades at meat processing factories throughout the country. It is important and timely that this has happened. The factories are now free to return to slaughtering cattle and farmers who were under great pressure to get their animals slaughtered can now do so. This will help to protect our meat industry and the jobs of workers who have been discommoded by the...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (11 Jul 2019)

Michelle Mulherin: In the new term I ask that the Leader looks to conduct a debate on Ireland's marine spatial policy. I welcome the recent launch by the Government of a draft marine planning policy statement. The size of our offshore area is ten times the landmass of our island. The Irish continental shelf comprises 220 million acres. As well as being relatively unexplored, we have a very poor spatial...

Three town councils were abolished in County Mayo. Rates equalisation brought all the rates up to the higher level, which was the county council rate. Within the Ballina Town Council area, all the shops and businesses...
