Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Management of Passenger Numbers at Dublin Airport: Discussion (22 Nov 2023)

Gerry Horkan: ...to acknowledge that and all of the good work that happened over the summer. That is all acknowledged. My concern is that growth in Dublin Airport from last year to this year is in and around 4 million or 5 million.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Management of Passenger Numbers at Dublin Airport: Discussion (22 Nov 2023)

Gerry Horkan: We have kind of all agreed that we should be looking at the medium term because my concern - and it is a reasonably valid concern based on the bounceback - is that if the airport has gone up 5 million in one year and is close to the 32 million cap, we may get even 4 million next year. Mr. Jacobs is saying that demand is softer but I am not sure how much evidence there is for that.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Delays Affecting Car Tests and Driver Tests: Discussion (1 Feb 2023)

Gerry Horkan: That means 5% of 2 million is the guts of 100,000 cars.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Bus Coach Sector: Discussion (19 Oct 2022)

Gerry Horkan: How many coaches would that €5 million cover? Is it ten? Is it 20?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Shannon Group: Chairperson Designate (25 May 2022)

Gerry Horkan: I might. It does not make sense from a State perspective that we have an airport with a capacity of between 4.5 million and 7 million - Mr. Henry might clarify that - but that was only seeing 1.5 million before the pandemic. Considerable capacity is built, ready and deliverable. National aviation policy can do a certain amount. I would love to see Shannon Airport at 5 million passengers...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: Ukraine's Application for Membership of the European Union: Engagement with Ambassador of Ukraine. (15 Mar 2022)

Gerry Horkan: ..., Moldova and various other countries close by that it would fly services at minimal or preferably zero cost to bring people out of these countries. As a country with a population of about 5 million, for us to even fathom that almost 3 million Ukrainians have had to flee with nothing except the clothes on their backs, maybe a small suitcase and a couple of toys for their children, it is...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (24 Feb 2022)

Gerry Horkan: .... Many of the former Soviet states, including Georgia and Ukraine, have a similar kind of foreboding that, at any point in time, something might happen. Funnily, I woke up at approximately 5 a.m. this morning and I did not know why. I looked at my phone and all of a sudden there was all this stuff happening on Twitter. People in hotel rooms in Ukraine were saying how the breakfast...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: General Scheme of the Communications Regulation (Enforcement) Bill: Discussion (23 Feb 2022)

Gerry Horkan: How does ComReg propose the sanction regime will work? Is it like a planning permission with regard to non-compliance? Will it send out warning notices? Is that in the Bill? A penalty of €5 million or 10% of turnover can be a large amount and, obviously, it will not be for a small offence. Where does the proportionality regime kick in? If a consumer rings up and does not get a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: General Scheme of the Communications Regulation (Enforcement) Bill: Discussion (23 Feb 2022)

Gerry Horkan: ...would have to put up with it. Is it the case that those operators will now face penalties, the consumer will be able to get both redress and compensation and the operator can be fined up to €5 million or 10% of turnover? Will the higher or lower of those two figures apply?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: General Scheme of the Communications Regulation (Enforcement) Bill: Discussion (23 Feb 2022)

Gerry Horkan: Could it be more than €5 million or is €5 million the maximum?

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (16 Dec 2021)

Gerry Horkan: ...centre before the day of the count on 21 April. People forget just how far we have come even though we are still not where we would like to be. We had a lockdown in early January, we had 2 km and 5 km limits and most people could not visit their grandchildren or grandparents. We are in a different place now and the vaccines have made a considerable difference. Last night, the House did...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Cybersecurity: Discussion (25 May 2021)

Gerry Horkan: ...Mr. Walsh, Mr. O'Reilly or Mr. Larkin answers this. Let us say as a country we recruit a chief cybercrime guru, tsar or whatever we want to call him and he gets a budget of even ten times the €5 million we have currently. Where do we go from there? Mr. O'Reilly might give us an American perspective.

Seanad: Finance Bill (Tax Appeals and Prospectus Regulation) Bill 2019: Second Stage (28 Nov 2019)

Gerry Horkan: ...there have been significant issues with the Tax Appeals Commission - mainly the lengthy backlog and the number of cases that are before it. At the end of June 2019, there were under its remit 3,543 active appeals. Since its inception, that list is getting longer where the commission is opening more appeals. In 2016, more than 2,300 appeals were received and 200 were closed. In 2017,...

Seanad: Summer Economic Statement 2019: Statements (26 Jun 2019)

Gerry Horkan: ...that arises. If Brexit goes well, we might be alright but if it does not and there is a no-deal or hard Brexit, the potential swing in the public finances will be from a €1 billion surplus to a €5 billion deficit. As the Minister of State noted, this is a movement of about €6 billion. The Irish Fiscal Advisory Council has noted that between €3 billion and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Insurance Costs for Small and Medium Businesses: Discussion (4 Apr 2019)

Gerry Horkan: ...industry has paid money to insurers. It was not FBD Insurance because they stated that most of their business has to refer to the UK because nobody here will insure them. They have paid in €5 million. There are reserves of €800,000 against claims and only €200,000 has been paid out in the last five years. By any measure, it appears to be a profitable industry. Why...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Insurance Costs for Small and Medium Businesses: Discussion (4 Apr 2019)

Gerry Horkan: I accept FBD has a remit, a mission statement and a core business and I am not telling the witnesses what to do. However, it seems from the figures we got this morning that €5 million has been collected in premiums in the past five years, about €200,000 had been paid out and about €800,000 has been placed in reserve against potential future claims. I am sure they are...

Seanad: Gambling Legislation: Motion (27 Feb 2019)

Gerry Horkan: ...is a fair assumption that many people do not gamble but many others are losing an awful lot of money. The latest figures show that gambling losses in Ireland totalled €2.1 billion in 2016, with more than €5 billion gambled, which amounts to €14 million per day. According to a UCD study, more than 40,000 people in Ireland are known to have a gambling addiction, with...

Seanad: Finance Bill 2018: Committee Stage (5 Dec 2018)

Gerry Horkan: I move recommendation No. 11:11. In page 134, between lines 15 and 16, to insert the following: “Report on impact of ending VAT rebate on VRT 42. The Minister shall within three months of the passing of this Act, prepare and lay before the Oireachtas a report assessing the economic impact of ending the VAT rebate on VRT in section 38 on the car rental sector.”. People who are...

Seanad: Budget 2019: Statements (9 Oct 2018)

Gerry Horkan: ...a challenge, of which we need to be aware. Our priorities in the budget were Brexit, housing and the health service. We have secured an increase in the budget for social housing, while a further €60 million has been targeted at dealing with homelessness. While not sufficient, it is a step in the right direction to end the scandal of homeless families living in hotels and bed and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Public Private Partnerships - Liquidation of the Carillion Group: National Development Finance Agency and the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform (26 Jul 2018)

Gerry Horkan: Mr. Cahillane referred to somewhere between €5 million and €6 million to €20 million. Does he have no oversight or knowledge, other than hearsay or what he might have seen on "Prime Time" or what might have been mentioned here regarding various contractors, that is, about €250,000 and €16,000 or €60,000? Does he not know?
