Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Broadband Infrastructure: Discussion (7 Jul 2021)

...here. The LEO service will be huge. If we consider what is coming into the market, Starlink and SpaceX are out in the lead but right behind them are Telesat, OneWeb, Amazon's Kuiper project and Apple is also talking about this; those are only the Californian guys. This is before we look at some European ventures that might come in. We are also looking at the Japanese, the Indians...

Domestic, Sexual and Gender-based Violence: Statements (6 Jul 2021)

Paul Murphy: ...crime of organising a protest against gender-based violence during the pandemic. However, women looking for protection from abuse are ignored. This means we are not dealing with just a few bad apples here. This is systematic and despicable. What is exposed by this situation is, on the one hand, the unfortunate and horrific prevalence of gender-based violence within our society and, on...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (5 Jul 2021)

Michael McDowell: ...will be built to a satisfactory degree. However - and this is the most crucial thing - side by side with all the rhetoric about sustainable energy, we are building data centres. The Apple centre in Athenry, which has recently been revived, will, if fully built out, account for an increased demand for electricity of 8%. Five data centres would increase our electricity usage by 40%....

Workplace Relations (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2021: Second Stage (2 Jul 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: ...are undercutting decent employers, are engaged in anti-competitive practices, and should be put out of business. I think that is something we can all agree on. The idea that there are only a select few bad apples breaching employment law and workers’ rights has been blown apart by these data. We can see it is not just a tiny minority and that in fact there are breaches right...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (28 Jun 2021)

Seán Kyne: I marched in November 2016 in support of the €850 million Apple data centre in Athenry. I still believe that if data centres are needed, as I believe they are, they should be spread regionally and in terms of the grid connection. It should be noted that the Apple data centre project has been granted planning permission by Galway County Council for some time.It was granted by An Bord...

Seanad: Climate Action and Low Carbon Development (Amendment) Bill 2021: Second Stage (Resumed) (25 Jun 2021)

Marie Sherlock: ...thing missing is a commitment to climate justice. Phrases like "shall, in so far as it is practicable to do so, safeguard the rights of ... vulnerable persons" are the equivalent of motherhood and apple pie. We all want world peace and climate action, but unless we are willing to prioritise climate justice I do not think we will achieve the targets we need to achieve. Regarding climate...

Affordable Housing Bill 2021 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed) (24 Jun 2021)

Michael Fitzmaurice: ...when talking about affordable houses. At the moment, we have housing agencies, councils, developers and ordinary people trying to buy a piece of land. When there are four people trying to bite one apple, the apple gets pretty scarce and dear. We need to have one body that will look after the land side or use the land we have. We are long enough talking about State land. To be honest,...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Making Europe Fit for the Digital Age: EU Commissioner for Competition (23 Jun 2021) See 1 other result from this debate

Malcolm Byrne: ..., what can we do to be able to support that creativity? Part of it may relate to the relationship with some of the tech giants. I am not sure if the Commissioner wants to comment on the ongoing Apple case, an issue which is much in the news in Ireland, but maybe she might comment on the relationship with the European Union and Apple and the antitrust case against Google that is being...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (22 Jun 2021)

Regina Doherty: ...that just because 99% of what the Garda does is to be applauded and supported, and gardaí are courageous in the aspects of the work they take on and are absolutely supported by us all, there are not bad apples in every single profession in every walk of life. I believe, therefore, she is right to ask for this debate. Again, I will try to arrange that in the autumn. Senator Boylan...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Reduction of Carbon Emissions of 51% by 2030: Discussion (Resumed) (22 Jun 2021)

...-track incentivising fruiting bushes and trees. Extra supports are given for those things in countries where they are successful. We have a real opportunity to import substitutes in fruiting bushes, trees and apples. Highbank Orchards in Kilkenny is an example. Con Traas in south Tipperary is not organic but he is a careful and specific farmer with an amazing orchard and a very low use...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (21 Jun 2021) See 1 other result from this debate

Garret Ahearn: We have apples in Tipperary. The apple farm run by Con Traas does fantastic work. It is a fantastic local business. It is only a mile away from my home. I would encourage anyone to go there to buy apples. He sells strawberries as well but he is famous for apples and cider. It is lovely cider.

Fisheries and Coastal Communities: Statements (17 Jun 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: ...on this, but it does not seem anything was done to support them in a meaningful way. These are just more examples of another indigenous industry that has been failed and let down. Maybe if our fishers painted Apple, Google or Facebook logos on the sides of their boats, they might get a little attention from this Government. There are other issues around planning which need to be...

Joint Committee on Media, Tourism, Arts, Culture, Sport and the Gaeltacht: General Scheme of the Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2020: Discussion (Resumed) (16 Jun 2021)

Fintan Warfield: ...15%. On the issue of findability, is it difficult to legislate for that in order to ensure public service broadcasters have that prominence? What will that findability look like when I turn on Apple TV, a Samsung television or a Sky box?

Seanad: Gender Pay Gap Information Bill 2021: Second Stage (14 Jun 2021) See 1 other result from this debate

Rónán Mullen: ...in education, the location of the job, the supply of jobs versus the demand for particular skills, and so on. As a result, it is a crude measure with which to analyse this issue.It is like comparing a basket of apples with a basket of oranges and being surprised that there is a 14% difference between them. Even the National Women's Council of Ireland accepts that half the gap can be...

Seanad: Public Service Pay Bill 2020: Second Stage (14 Jun 2021)

Gerry Horkan: ...we need to tax people. Of course multinationals need to pay their way, but if they funnel revenue through Ireland with no property in Ireland and no revenue being generated here, it may not be us they need to pay. I refer to the famous Apple row, in which there was not necessarily any reason we should collect the money. I am certainly in favour of the idea that stateless companies and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Rapid Antigen Testing for Aviation and Travel Sectors: Discussion (9 Jun 2021)

...in terms of the scalability of the technology. In terms of distribution, our front end application – our mobile application, is available in the App Store and in Google Play, so for android and Apple users it is available right now globally. In the context of scale, it is easy to distribute to the public. I try not to use too much technological jargon, but the back end of the...

Select Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Climate Action and Low Carbon Development (Amendment) Bill 2021: Committee Stage (3 Jun 2021)

Thomas Pringle: ...this point too much. The Minister gave one definition of "in so far as is practicable" and I expect the Department could come up with many other definitions that would not be as motherhood and apple pie as the definition the Minister has given. That is the crux of the problem. The definition is too wide open and, for that reason, it has to be opposed.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (26 May 2021)

Micheál Martin: ...direct investment model, over the past 50 years, since we decided to look outwards, we have attracted some of the best manufacturing facilities to Ireland, whether it is the Intels, Hewlett Packards or Apples of this world or the pharmaceuticals. Only this week, Pfizer announced that mRNA vaccine technology will come to Ireland to be manufactured in Grange Castle. That places Ireland at...

Written Answers — Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport: Driver Licences (25 May 2021)

Hildegarde Naughton: ...from the Road Safety Authority issued to Deputy Connolly on 22 April 2021. In their response, the Authority set out the details as follows: It is the case that debit and credit card payments, and Apple Pay and Google Pay are the current acceptable payment types in NDLS offices and that we are unable to accept cash, cheques, postal order or pre-paid card payments. This was introduced as...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (24 May 2021)

Seán Kyne: ...the country. The old Galway city bypass went through the Irish courts before ending up in the European Court of Justice, which is fine, but the process was inordinately long, with huge delays. The Apple case in Athenry is another example. The project did not proceed because Apple said it had had enough due to the delays. Objectors using the system to frustrate and delay, delay and...
