Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Climate Action Plan 2023: Discussion (Resumed) (22 Feb 2024)

Eamon Ryan: ..., the public sector and our businesses so they will play their part in helping to cut transport emissions. I am aware that, just this week, the Climate Change Advisory Council expressed concern that Ireland may not meet the first carbon budget target. This echoes a recent report from the EPA - Irish Climate Change Assessment - which showed that Ireland used almost half its carbon budget...

Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: Second Stage (21 Feb 2024) See 1 other result from this debate

Thomas Gould: I echo the comments of my party colleagues in support of this Bill. I take the opportunity to speak on it and raise a number of issues. I acknowledge the great work done by pharmacists in my constituency and right across the State. They are often a person's first port of call. They provide compassionate, educated advice on many issues. This is invaluable. I request that the...

Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2022 (Section 4(2)) (Scheme Termination Date) Order 2024: Motion (21 Feb 2024)

Michael McNamara: I would like to echo what previous speakers have said. I listened to the last two contributions, in particular, and I find myself in agreement with them. It might well be because of an accident of geography as much as anything else, given that I represent a constituency which has borne a disproportionate burden. Every state has a burden to bear in accommodating recipients or beneficiaries...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cross-Border Co-operation (21 Feb 2024)

Leo Varadkar: I thank the Deputies for their contributions. I would like to echo Deputy Smith's comments on the A5. I am really keen that in building the A5, we do not forget about the Donegal TEN-T and the M2 because it is all one project in many ways, or at least it is all the one road, albeit that its name changes when it crosses the Border. Regarding the Ulster final in Clones, I have never been...

Seanad: Situation in Palestine: Motion (21 Feb 2024) See 1 other result from this debate

Lynn Boylan: Is fáilte an Aire. I echo the commendations for the Civic Engagement Group on bringing this motion to the Seanad. They speak day in and day out about the horror that is unfolding in Gaza. The one thing we see Palestinians say is, "Don't stop talking about it. You are our voices. Our lives depend on this." I am not the only one in saying that the feeling of powerlessness, frustration...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (21 Feb 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: ...the inclusion of those infrastructural plans into the development plan. Let us take the next step forward to offshore and onshore wind. Those are going to have a push and pull on these areas. To echo Deputy O'Callaghan's point, I am not saying that central government should not necessarily have that power, but where that power is to be exercised, in those exceptional circumstances,...

Paediatric Orthopaedic and Urology Services: Motion [Private Members] (20 Feb 2024)

David Cullinane: ...have not seen - bar a Minister who has come in for a different debate - anybody from his party in the Chamber for this debate. Be that as it may, he made that commitment on the back of a plan. It was echoed again and restated by the current Minister for Health two years ago. The Minister has come into the Dáil today, two years after he committed €19 million, which he told...

Second Anniversary of War in Ukraine: Statements (20 Feb 2024)

Brendan Howlin: ...happy to inflict on others has no bounds. In the old cold war scenario, there were understood boundaries, painful and desperate as they were. Putin has no boundaries. He has isolated himself to hear only the echo of his own cronies and we can no longer be certain he will be defeated. All of this is bad enough but we live in a time of great political uncertainty. The potential of the...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (20 Feb 2024)

Thomas Pringle: ...is important in terms of responsibility for the mental health of our children. It is very important we have such a debate and it is in this House that this should be discussed and addressed. I echo those calls which have been made in that regard. It is also vitally important that we debate the ongoing situation in Gaza and that it should be on the agenda again this week. I thank the...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (20 Feb 2024)

Leo Varadkar: ...that is currently available to the service and how any deficit or gap can be closed. On foot of that, he has asked them to withdraw their notice to quit the service and is awaiting a response. I echo the Deputy's comments. This should not be about the HSE, the board, the Government or politics. It should be about the service users and their families who are now being subjected to...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (20 Feb 2024)

Tom Clonan: I echo the congratulations to our ceannaire. She would be a great representative of Ireland in Europe, and of Fine Gael of course. I am delighted to hear that news. I raise again Children's Health Ireland, particularly the waiting list for urological surgery. I have raised complex spinal surgery and the fact there are hundreds of children on that waiting list. Much complex spinal surgery...

Seanad: Gas (Amendment) Bill 2023: Committee Stage (20 Feb 2024)

Lynn Boylan: ...seeking connection to the gas grid. We have recently heard there are more than 25 seeking connection on top of that. These islanded data connections to the grid could, in effect, blow our carbon budget out of the water. Since that statement calling for urgent legislation, the Government's Climate Change Advisory Council has echoed that call and come out in favour of much stronger action...

Seanad: Situation in the Middle East: Statements (20 Feb 2024)

Joe O'Reilly: I join the Cathaoirleach in his welcome to my good friends and neighbours from St. Anne's, which does us all proud as an education institution in our community. I echo the words of the Tánaiste to the pupils from St. Anne's that we hope and pray for, and it is our business to try to achieve, a situation where they will grow up in a different world from the one that exists at the moment...

Seanad: Special Measures in the Public Interest (Derrybrien Wind Farm) Bill 2023: Second Stage (20 Feb 2024)

Lynn Boylan: ...is to bridge the gap of environmental compliance. He went on to describe circumstances in Ireland as disappointing and even worrying, and he called for a radical change of behaviour. This view was then echoed by the Citizens' Assembly on Biodiversity Loss in March 2023. It found that the State has comprehensively failed to adequately fund, implement, and enforce existing national...

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Protection of Children in the Use of Artificial Intelligence: Discussion (Resumed) (20 Feb 2024) See 1 other result from this debate

Tom Clonan: I thank our guests for coming in. I echo what my colleagues have said about how useful and interesting this exchange is for us, and on many levels how reassuring. I congratulate the witnesses on child safety online getting an "A" on the Children's Rights Alliance scorecard, as reported on "Morning Ireland" this morning. It is good to hear good news. The State's face has been saved with...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: General Scheme of the Defence (Amendment) Bill 2023: Discussion (20 Feb 2024) See 2 other results from this debate

Mr. Conor King: To echo what Mr. Keane said, there is no example. Why would there be an example, when the Government has already said there is no intent to reduce our rights? That proves there is no example that exists. However, unless we see changes to the language in the document, then we cannot trust that we will not lose our rights at some time in the future. Primary legislation...

Seanad: Order of Business (15 Feb 2024) See 1 other result from this debate

Ollie Crowe: I agree with and echo the comments made by Senator Kyne regarding school buses. The situation in this regard is an absolute pantomime. He is so correct. It has been going on since last September. I echo the sentiments he expressed. Reports in recent weeks have stated that an internal draft document warns that the HSE's freeze on recruitment risks increasing waiting times for patients,...

David Cullinane: 371. To ask the Minister for Health the percentage of Clinical Status 1 ECHO and Clinical Status 1 DELTA incidents responded to by a patient-carrying vehicle in 18 minutes and 59 seconds or less for January for each year 2019-2024, inclusive, nationally and by ambulance region, in tabular form; the average length of such response times nationally and by region; and if he will make a statement...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Key Issues Affecting Youth: North South Youth Forum (15 Feb 2024)

Ms Claire Hanna: I thank the witnesses. It has been great to hear about the range of issues they have raised. I thank them for coming. I echo the words of encouragement of other members regarding the stuff they are doing together and individually. Further to questions asked by Mr. Hazzard and others, do the witnesses have any advice on engaging with young people who, at this stage, would...

Recent Developments in Northern Ireland: Statements (14 Feb 2024) See 1 other result from this debate

Gary Gannon: I echo the words of so many on the welcome return of power-sharing in the North. As a student of history and as someone who has sat in this Chamber for the past four years, the words "historic" and "monumental" are too often overused. The scenes of Michelle O'Neill as Northern Ireland's First Minister and Emma Little-Pengelly as deputy First Minister were, however, truly historic and...
