All-Island Strategic Rail Review: Statements (Resumed) (2 Jul 2025)

Jennifer Whitmore: I welcome the all-island strategic rail review. It is a vital step towards connecting the unconnected throughout the country. Ultimately, however, it is a missed opportunity because it is not ambitious enough. Even if it were fully implemented, the review would still leave us behind the Ireland of 1906. It is not often that we look back at the country 100 years ago and say, "Jesus, if we...

Jennifer Whitmore: I propose an amendment to the Order of Business in relation to statements on LNG. It was reported today that An Coimisiún Pleanála has written to the Minister seeking a clear position from Government on commercial LNG. It is time for the Government to stop talking out of both sides of its mouth with regard to LNG. We need clarity on that.

Committee on Fisheries and Maritime Affairs: Review of Sea Fisheries and Maritime Jurisdiction Act 2006: Discussion (1 Jul 2025)

Jennifer Whitmore: I am indeed. I thank the witnesses for their contributions. This system is relatively new to me and, I imagine, to some other members of the committee also. I am trying to get my head around how it operates. When I look through the penalty system and the list of infringements, from a fisheries management perspective I can understand why each of the infringements is listed. They range...

Jennifer Whitmore: I welcome the witnesses and congratulate Mr. Sisk. He may know I worked for the Marine Institute 25 years ago. I have many great memories from working there at that time. I worked there when it was in Dublin, before it moved over to Galway. One of the issues, and this feeds into the previous comment, was certainly present there at that time. It was not just the staffing levels but also...

Committee on Fisheries and Maritime Affairs: Engagement with Chairperson Designate of the Marine Institute (1 Jul 2025)

Jennifer Whitmore: I welcome that. The remit has changed and so has the importance of particular areas. Resourcing needs to reflect that. I do not know of any other State agency providing such a fundamental service where there would be that extent of short-term or ephemeral contracts. I acknowledge Brittas Bay National school. They did an incredible job on the project. I congratulate the institute - those...

Committee on Fisheries and Maritime Affairs: Engagement with Chairperson Designate of the Marine Institute (1 Jul 2025)

Jennifer Whitmore: I am delighted with the invitation to Galway. When we are there, it would be worthwhile to have a presentation on the stock book and the amount of work that goes into the ICES modelling. Particularly in advance of the quota discussions, it would be good for us to know where all the information comes from, how it is fed into the models and how it spits back the quotas at us. If it were...
