Seanad: Naming of National Children's Hospital for Dr. Kathleen Lynn: Motion (24 May 2023)

Pat Casey: I welcome the special guests. It is hard to follow Senator Kyne’s contribution. We are all entitled to our own views on this and mine is significantly different from his. That is what politics and debating is about and I respect that. I acknowledge the role my colleagues, Senators Ardagh and Fitzpatrick, had in bringing forward this motion. I want to go back to the role of women...

Seanad: Naming of National Children's Hospital for Dr. Kathleen Lynn: Motion (24 May 2023)

Pat Casey: That is what this is doing. We do not get many opportunities to name significant State investments like the children's hospital after somebody. We have a chance here to recognise the role of women in the modern Irish Republic and should take it fully on board. Senator Fitzpatrick mentioned Dr. Lynn not being a household name. She is right. I did not know Dr. Lynn until this campaign...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (16 May 2023)

Pat Casey: Last week, there was a significant announcement by EirGrid regarding the successful bidders in the auction for projects under the renewable electricity support scheme, ORESS. There were four successful applicants, with the projects set to generate more than 3 GW of power and feed into nearly 2.5 million homes in Ireland. It was a mixed day for Wicklow.

Seanad: Finance Bill 2023: Committee Stage (4 May 2023)

Pat Casey: As all present are aware, I am involved in the industry. The picture portrayed by Senator Higgins is not true across the board. There is a need to put that on the record. Sadly, VAT is a blunt instrument. It is very inflexible in terms of how it can be applied. The reduced rate was brought in to make business viable. It was not necessarily brought in for it to be passed on directly to...

Seanad: Finance Bill 2023: Second Stage (25 Apr 2023)

Pat Casey: I welcome the Minister of State to the House. We must first compliment the Government on its management of the economy. This was noted when the 2023 budget was announced in September 2022. The Government clearly stated that if another intervention were needed, it would be in a position to so do concerning the cost-of-living crisis. This is exactly what we are doing today. We are...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (28 Mar 2023)

Pat Casey: I wish to revert to the incident that happened in Glenmalure last week regarding the farmer, Pat Dunne. We all know the importance of outdoor recreation and all our councils now have an outdoor recreation strategy. A critical part of that strategy is access to the uplands and mountains. I came across a piece in this morning's edition of The Irish Timesby Helen Lawless, who is one of the...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (7 Mar 2023)

Pat Casey: I also congratulate the Leas-Chathaoirleach on the work he has done. Anybody who knows Senator Mark Daly knows who Thomas Meagher is - that is for sure. The issue I raise has been raised by a number of Senators in recent weeks and is very topical at the moment. It relates to the short-term letting legislation that is before the House. It would be no harm for the House to have a broader...
