Gender-based Violence: Motion [Private Members] (19 Jan 2022)

Denis Naughten: The whole country was stunned and shaken by the death of Ashling Murphy. I attended the vigil for Ashling at the gates of Leinster House with many members of the Oireachtas last Friday. I listened to the call by speakers for the attack on a young woman, just going for a jog on a bright winter afternoon in a rural town, to be a watershed moment in terms of all forms of violence against...

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Finance Bill 2020: Committee Stage (16 Nov 2020)

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Tax Reliefs (29 Sep 2020)

Denis Naughten: I have time for one more intervention. There were two questions grouped. I am glad that the Minister clarified that. It is important that we try to get the balance right and that we look at blended employment. I can confirm for the Minister that there is demand, but it is only a drip at present.

Financial Resolutions 2017 - Financial Resolution No. 2: General (Resumed) (12 Oct 2016)

Denis Naughten: Climate change is the defining challenge of our time and it is during our time that the obligation exists for us all to take action. We need to act now and think long term. We are also a country playing catch-up on our obligations in regard to climate change. This obligation is as much an opportunity as it is an obligation. In any event, it is our children's future and of vital national...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Change and Natural Resources: Estimates for Public Services 2016: Vote 29 - Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment (21 Sep 2016)

Denis Naughten: No, but in our day-to-day business, we travel long distances and trying to find charge points for electric vehicles can be difficult. People in the Dublin region can charge them when they get to work and again when they get home. The challenge is slightly different but there have been developments with batteries. The European Commission is putting significant investment into this and there...

Select Committee on Communications, Climate Change and Natural Resources: Estimates for Public Services 2016
Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Change and Natural Resources (Revised) (29 Jun 2016)

Denis Naughten: .... The Deputy would rightly criticise me if I did not acknowledge the potential risk if we do not reach our targets. As he will be aware, having sat on this side of the table, if I am going to leverage the investment I require, I need to have a carrot and a stick. If we meet bills like this in 2020 I will have far greater leverage to get the investment I require. There is absolutely no...
