Vote 33 - Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media (Supplementary) (28 Nov 2023) Christopher O'Sullivan: My concern is for the clubs that have put blood, sweat and tears into their sports capital grants.

- Finance (No. 2) Bill 2023: Report and Final Stages (22 Nov 2023)
Christopher O'Sullivan: I love to see that spirit of collaboration. We would be much better off with a bit more collaboration like that in the Dáil. The Opposition calls a lot of these things U-turns. I prefer to call it adaptability or flexibility. We saw the increase in the renter's credit in the budget and we also saw adaptability around mortgage interest relief. We saw an increase in the Croí...

Deputy Conway-Walsh said we are not listening to constituents. I have seen constituents avail of schemes like Croí Cónaithe and turn vacant derelict houses into beautiful family homes. It is an incredible initiative-----

Christopher O'Sullivan: -----and the recent increase has been welcomed. Furthermore, the grant is bigger again for people who live on islands and there are a lot of habitable islands off west Cork.

- Finance (No. 2) Bill 2023: Report and Final Stages (22 Nov 2023)
Christopher O'Sullivan: I welcome Deputy McAuliffe's amendment. I can say from experience in my constituency that the rent credit has offered a very welcome breathing space to many families, couples and individuals in the midst of cost-of-living challenges. We do not acknowledge that often enough. Many of those availing of it are over the income threshold for social housing and may just not be there yet in terms...

- Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (21 Nov 2023)
Christopher O'Sullivan: I recently introduced a Bill in the Dáil around the whole area of anaerobic digestion. Anaerobic digestion is the really cool process where organic material is turned into biogas, which can then be used in energy or electricity production. When we think of anaerobic digestion we think of the bigger-scale anaerobic digesters, ADs, taking inputs from the agri-sector and from industry but...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Citizens' Assembly Report on Biodiversity Loss: Discussion (Resumed) (21 Nov 2023)
Christopher O'Sullivan: I know I arrived late to the meeting but I was tuned in and heard every word. I have heard everything our guests have said and I saw the presentation, which was fantastic. Fair play to our guests. If I was 16 or nine years old, there is not a hope I would have come up to an Oireachtas committee meeting, which is televised live, to answer all these questions. I can tell our guests they are...
