Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Future Ireland Fund and Infrastructure, Climate and Nature Fund Bill 2024: Committee Stage (1 May 2024)

The State is suffering from a chronic housing shortage and infrastructure deficits. Our concern relates to the constraining effect that legislated contributions...

Petrol and Diesel Excise Rate Increases: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (30 Apr 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: As the Minister of State, Deputy Richmond, knows, I come from a rural constituency in County Mayo. We do not have the transport options of those living in urban areas. How many times do we have to say that we are reliant on cars to get where we need to go? The nearest train station to me is an hour away. It is a six-hour round trip to University Hospital Galway, which many patients have...

Committee on Public Petitions: Public Petition on Kiltimagh Water Scheme: Discussion (25 Apr 2024)

We would like to try to clear up how much the connection fee will be, what that connection fee will be made up of and for how long people have to pay for it. It was my understanding that the connection fee has...
