Seanad: Commencement Matters: Local Authority Members' Remuneration (27 Sep 2017)

John Paul Phelan: ...Davitt was a little melodramatic in calling the Department the Department of broken promises. A commitment was given and it is still intended that it would be honoured.

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Review of the Capital Plan: Construction Industry Federation (28 Mar 2017)

John Paul Phelan: We do and we are in agreement on that. A final point is on long-term planning. Deputy Boyd Barrett regards himself as a socialist but I am not.

In Britain, following from Brexit, they are talking about a 30-year horizon on capital...
