Committee on European Union Affairs: Sustainable Development Goals: Discussion (25 Jun 2025)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I apologise as I have to go to a meeting someone else promised me access to. On what Mr. McGeady said earlier about the sustainable development goals, they are a tool for two things, namely, grading and framing policy.

Ruairí Ó Murchú: There is the leverage. Initially, you can grade poorly bad policies and bad legislation. That is straightforward. On the grading system, impact assessment tool and even checklist, what will it take to put those into operation? I get it. Political will is a major part of it. I am not sure about the Government but there would be plenty of civil servants who would have a particular issue...

Committee on European Union Affairs: Sustainable Development Goals: Discussion (25 Jun 2025)

Committee on European Union Affairs: Sustainable Development Goals: Discussion (25 Jun 2025)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: Would it be possible to get a short and concise paper on the future generations commissioner? I recognise the proposal is already there in legislative form but I am asking for an outline of everything from the impact assessment tool to implementing something much simpler. We could look to it as something to put forward as part of the budgetary process. I would say it would be welcomed in a...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Industrial Relations (24 Jun 2025)

What does the Government propose?...
