Róisín Garvey: On the €5 million that was provided in the budget, two social enterprise hubs in Clare were forced to close because they could not compete with the low prices of the local authority Wi-Fi hub being developed in the area.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Rural Hubs, Broadband and Mobile Phone Coverage in Rural Ireland: Department of Rural and Community Development (2 Dec 2020)

Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Engagement on Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union (2 Dec 2020)

Róisín Garvey: I will be brief. I do not know how the Minister does it. I am wrecked just listening to all the comments on what is going on over Brexit. It is hard enough to be a Senator, not to mention sorting out the Brexit issue for the country. I am very interested in enterprise, trade and employment and rural development, on both of which I am spokesperson. We must have looked in great detail at...

Róisín Garvey: I thank the officials for coming to the committee today. Water has been mentioned. Is there any rainwater harvesting in the islands? To me this would be a no-brainer because, as we know, the west gets tonnes of rain. Cubic metres of water can be stored easily, which is 1,000 litres per cubic metre. This can go a long way.
