Catherine Connolly: I will give the Deputy a chance to contribute again. I am keeping Members to time so that we can get to more questions.

Aindrias Moynihan: A key corridor west of the city serves the Lee Valley towards Macroom, serving communities such as Ovens, Aherla, Cloughduv, Crookstown, Kilmurray, Coachford and Macroom, where the route 233 service is based. That same bus serves the Inchigeelagh and Ballingeary area as well. When we look at the timetable, it looks very extensive but because it is spread so thin, this means that people...

Eamon Ryan: I agree with the Deputy that rail connectivity in particular will be a critical issue for the sustainable development of airports. A rail connection to Shannon Airport, as part of a wider investment in the Limerick-Shannon region, the reopening of the Shannon-Foynes line and the building of new stations in the likes of Moyross and elsewhere, would not just benefit the airport but also the...

Michael Lowry: I thank the Minister for that information. While there is an obvious and steady improvement, too many people are still waiting a prolonged period for a test, which is causing a great deal of stress, strain and inconvenience. The facts and the figures there regarding all of the centres in Tipperary are above the service level agreement. On the SLA, are there penalties and what kind of...

Cathal Berry: I very much welcome this additional proposed hardware. We should always remember that is not a ship that makes the crew, it is the crew that makes the ship and crewing the ship is so important. As the Tánaiste knows, I always acknowledge progress. The doubling of the patrol duty allowance at the start of year is a help. The increase in the recruitment and retirement age is also a big...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: White Papers (21 Mar 2024) See 7 other results from this debate

Éamon Ó Cuív: The Tánaiste probably answered the first supplementary I had, which was whether the White Paper has been overtaken by events, in particular, the report of the Commission on the Defence Forces and if it has, whether there will be a new White Paper or whether we will just work on the commission. Also, will the consultative forum on international security policy require formal change of...

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I do not know where to start on this. I have been raising this issue for a long time in this Chamber. There is no ethical component to the purchasing of weapons from Israel or any other country that is at war. Given the slaughter that is happening in Gaza and the history of Israeli actions in respect of Palestine, there should never have been any purchasing of any equipment for the Defence...

Mick Barry: The Tánaiste mentioned that similar organisations exist in other European Union countries. I do not doubt him for a moment on that. The arms industry is shadowy. Are other EU countries as shadowy as what we have here? I imagine that in many other European countries the affiliates of a defence association are on the public record, but that is not the case here. The Tánaiste...

Matt Carthy: That commitment might count for more if the Tánaiste had not just spent the preceding two minutes defending the positions as they currently stand. In respect of the external oversight body, if the Secretary General of the Department of Defence can sit on that body in an ex officio capacity, it makes now sense that there would be a reluctance to allow representative bodies to also be...
