Gerry Horkan: ...and area and none of us is all that familiar with them. I tried them out in a confined space with Zipp Mobility in University College Dublin when they offered us the opportunity. Senator Buttimer tried them down in the Cork with another operator. I think I am happier on a bike actually.

The longer we hear that we cannot...

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

Gerry Horkan: I absolutely could. I am glad Senator Buttimer is still listening in. Donegal is a different kind of airport, as is acknowledged. The question is what Mr. Henry wants to see. We all know the problem. What does he think aviation policy needs to have in it? He is more of an expert than I am. What would he like to see in the policy?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Transport Strategy for the Greater Dublin Region: Discussion (4 May 2022)

Other members want to come back from the Dáil, and I have a couple more points to make - I will also allow other members in - as the only Dublin member on the committee who is actually here.

Seanad: Public Transport: Motion (3 Nov 2021)

Gerry Horkan: I will share time with Senator Cassells. We will take three minutes each. I am very happy to support this motion, which Senators Kyne and Buttimer and the Fine Gael group have tabled.

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (14 Oct 2021)

Gerry Horkan: Senator Buttimer said pretty much exactly what I was going to say, but I will say it a little bit differently. I want to build on the comments of Senators Ahearn and Buttimer. The figures do not lie. Professor Philip Nolan spoke on the radio this morning. Everybody is calling for certainty, but unfortunately if certainty was given today, it might be the wrong certainty. It might be the...
