Written Answers — Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport: Electric Vehicles (27 Apr 2023)

Eamon Ryan: Providing a sustainable, low-carbon transport system is a key priority of my Department. The Programme for Government commits to 7% average annual emissions reduction to 2030; ultimately, the goal is for a zero-emission mobility system by 2050. The transport sector, which accounts for about 20% of Ireland’s overall carbon emissions, must play a central role in the national...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Enhanced Transport and Mobility Support Options for People with Disabilities: Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (4 Oct 2023)

Brian Leddin: .... I must apologise for missing the beginning of the meeting. I had a timetable clash so I cannot be everywhere at the same time. I have emphasised in a number of Dáil contributions the need to stop disabling disabled people further in our built environment. The Minister of State mentioned that she had personal connections with people with disabilities and she very much...

Seanad: Financial Provisions (Covid-19) (No. 2) Bill 2020: Second Stage (30 Jul 2020)

Róisín Garvey: I thank the Minister of State for giving us his time today, which I am sure is very precious with all that is going on. I welcome the employment wage subsidy being extended to March 2021. That is important. The stay and spend incentive is brilliant overall and it is very positive that people can get 20% back on their spending, even if they spend only €25. The cycle to work...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Transport Sectoral Emissions Ceiling: Minister for Transport (17 May 2023)

Gerry Horkan: I am conscious of the Minister's time but have a question on children and younger people being facilitated with a trial bike scheme. I am not saying that everybody has an issue with costs but some people might not be willing to go off and buy a bike if it is only going to be used for the occasional trip. A lot of people have bikes anyway but if people wanted to get a bike, could we have a...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (6 Oct 2022)

Ivana Bacik: What specific action does the Government propose to take to address the key points made in yesterday's OECD and Climate Change Advisory Council report on the Irish transport system? The report showed the need for the Government to prioritise policies to reallocate road space from private cars to ensure that walking and cycling are better accommodated. I ask this knowing that although the...

Questions on Promised Legislation (22 Nov 2017)

Leo Varadkar: I offer my condolences to the family and friends of the cyclist the Deputy mentioned. We are all affected by road safety and by deaths on the road and most of us, or our families, would know somebody who lost their life on the road. There are more and more people cycling, to work and recreationally, and that is very encouraging. The bike to work scheme, which the Deputy was involved in...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Decarbonising Transport: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Mar 2021)

Dr. Elisabeth Windisch: There are many employer benefits that encourage the use and uptake of private cars. This could also substantially shift to a system where employers actually support the uptake of bicycles, and cover the costs of the purchase of the bicycle and its use. I know that the use of bicycles is very limited but there could be an opportunity to maybe provide other incentives...

Written Answers — Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport: Cycling Facilities Data (17 Jan 2017)

Shane Ross: The National Transport Authority (NTA) established the public bikes scheme in Galway, Cork and Limerick and these are operated in cooperation with the relevant local authorities.   Noting the NTA's responsibility in the matter, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for a more detailed reply.  Please advise my private office if you don't...

Seanad: Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021: Second Stage (6 Oct 2022)

Róisín Garvey: This is a great day for road traffic in Ireland. This is badly needed legislation, especially given the increased use of e-scooters, e-bikes, etc. I congratulate the Minister and his team on the work to date. There are a few different points I wish to raise around the Bill itself. Section 56 of Part 15 relates to zero emission vehicles Ireland, ZEVI. I looked up the website and it looks...

However, I am not involved in the day-to-day operations of the management of public bike schemes. Details regarding contracts, operation and expansion of existing and proposed...

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Finance Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed) (15 Nov 2022) See 2 other results from this debate

Gerald Nash: I move amendment No. 6: In page 12, between lines 24 and 25, to insert the following: “Amendment of section 118 of Principal Act (benefit-in-kind: relief for bicycles) 8. Section 118 of the Principal Act is amended by the insertion of the following subsection after subsection (5G): “(5GA) Where expenses incurred in, or in connection with, the provision of a bicycle or...

Criminal Justice (Public Order) (Quadbikes and Scramblers) (Amendment) Bill 2021: First Stage (27 Jan 2021)

Maurice Quinlivan: We have spoken on this in the House on a number of occasions, including in a previous Dáil, and it is an issue that needs to be addressed. Unfortunately, it overwhelmingly affects working-class communities and that is why I believe no action has been taken on it to date. Scramblers and quad bikes are also a nuisance to local communities across the State. We have seen greenways and...

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

Gerry Horkan: I thank Senator Buttimer. 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. I wish to turn to the safety aspect of public transport, but first it is very important for us all to acknowledge the work that has been done on greenways and cycling....

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Social Welfare Schemes (20 Feb 2024)

Heather Humphreys: I have extended the scheme to those who are medically unfit and they will get the free travel pass. That was important. I acknowledge the work of Epilepsy Ireland. I spoke to them on a number of occasions and they pointed out to me that people with epilepsy could not drive for over a year. They did a lot of work on that. I met with them, only last week, on World Epilepsy Day. We hope to...
