Róisín Garvey: For the sake of clarity, under the GDPR and data protection, if all these devices are listed then we would have the GDPR and data protection to be used for all the devices whereas, as the Minister said, if we have a limited list then we cannot apply it. It is not as if just because all the devices are there people are allowed do whatever they want with them, because there is the GDPR. I am...

Róisín Garvey: I am all about the hedgerows and trees, which I am always planting, but in some instances there is a need to do some trimming or lopping. Sometimes trees cause a hazard. My issue is that in many instances the first option is to cut them down. That is a huge part of the problem. Senator Ruane may agree with me when I suggest that cutting trees down should be the last resort. Trimming and...

Róisín Garvey: I welcome Senator Cummins's comments. I have personal experience of not just disabled parking but parking in general where local authorities have allowed people to go in and cut down 200 or 300 year old trees to create a car park. In one instance, they did not really need to cut down the tree. It could have been left at the side because cutting it down did not provide any more car parking...

Róisín Garvey: I welcome the great work of ZEVI and the importance of working towards anything other than fossil fuels. It is important that the research from ZEVI is not just about e-cars. I may consider tabling an amendment on Report Stage. We should also research car-sharing of e-cars, not just sales. GoCar is working very well. I hope research expands into that area, and the fact that there is a...
