Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (12 Nov 2019)

Michelle Mulherin: ...that the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government, Deputy Eoghan Murphy, be invited to the House to provide some clarification. The decision of the Court of Justice to fine Ireland €5 million for failing to ensure that an environmental impact assessment, EIA, was carried out prior to the granting of planning permission is concerning. It is a significant fine. At the...

Prior to that, in 2010, An Bord Pleanála refused a major road project, the N26 phase 2, from Mount Falcon to Bohola. Some €5 million had been spent on that before it was refused because of hooper swans and overdesign due to SACs. For anyone unfamiliar with the west and the particular areas we are...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Road Network (20 Jun 2019)

Michelle Mulherin: I welcome the Minister to the House. I ask the Minister to set in motion a process to prioritise a major road scheme for the N26-N58-N5. This is much-needed strategic infrastructure to provide north-south, east-west connectivity to towns such as Ballina, Crossmolina, Foxford, Swinford and to facilitate traffic from Erris and Belmullet in west Mayo that comes through Ballina. This is a very...

Michelle Mulherin: ...swans. A minor upgrade to this same road has been sought at Cloongullaun to replace the bridge, and solutions have been sought on how to overcome the environmental issues since 2012. A sum of €4 million has been spent on this. A sum of €5 million was spent on the previous project and we still do not have planning permission. I hope An Bord Pleanála will issue...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Electronic Identification of Sheep: Discussion (19 Jun 2018)

Michelle Mulherin: ...Ireland said the whole sheep sector will benefit. I think it was Mr. Carroll. While I accept that, there is only one pillar of the industry being asked to pay along with the taxpayer the €50 being proposed. Some members of the committee were in Brussels to hear about issues around the weak position of farmers in the food supply chain and about how they are always an easy target....

Seanad: Seanad Bill 2016: Second Stage (Resumed) (12 Oct 2016)

Michelle Mulherin: ...one is paying taxes in this country, one should not have the franchise for national or local elections. I am concerned about the detail of how this would operate. The Leas-Chathaoirleach mentioned that over 5 million people who have Irish passports could have the franchise. The proposal for conducting elections through an e-mail to be printed, completed and sent back seems very casual...

Seanad: Order of Business (21 Jul 2016)

Michelle Mulherin: ...care packages in counties Mayo, Roscommon and Galway has reached a critical point. Not only has this year's budget for those packages been spent but in addition there has been an overspend of €5 million. I spoke last night to a woman whose husband is in Mayo General Hospital and who has been told there is a freeze on the provision of home care packages. A man is being kept in...

Michelle Mulherin: ...in designated environmentally sensitive areas. One hundred and sixty-two urban wastewater treatment plants are operating currently while awaiting licences. They must be licensed by the end of 2015 but they are in limbo because, in most cases, remedial works are required at the very least. In the meantime, our rivers, lakes and coastal areas are being polluted and we face the threat of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Operations and Functions: National Asset Management Agency (22 Oct 2014)

Michelle Mulherin: ...the Mr. John Flynn v.NAMA case. I believe that case was a damning indictment of how NAMA deals with developers. He ruled that NAMA had acted unfairly and unlawfully in calling in loans of €22 million from Mr. Flynn and his family. The large amount of information I have received about how NAMA deals with developers tallies with Mr. Flynn's own comment that dealing with NAMA was...
