...odds. Even if there is a narrowing window, we remain hopeful. That is common to all of us here. The Cathaoirleach made a point about climate migration. Sian Cowman, a fantastic researcher at NUI Maynooth, is doing a lot of research on the narratives around climate migration and, in particular, advocating for us not to use that term anymore because it is being co-opted and it is...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (20 Mar 2024)

Malcolm Noonan: I agree wholeheartedly. I attended the launch of the National University of Ireland, NUI, Maynooth, research into the role of elected members at local level.

In other cases, there has actually been an enhancement of the role in recent...

Seán Sherlock: ...and research institutions is now to be a matter for Taighde Éireann? In law, will that be its remit? If that is the case, what is the role of, for instance, the National University of Ireland, NUI? Does that become subservient in terms of the remit of any academic institution, which I would have thought would be self-evident anyway? It is well established that the preservation and...

Michael McDowell: ...that it was closed down, but the fact that it was done without even a request to the Irish authorities for permission to do it shows how arrogant and overweening their attitude is. Senator Mullen and I are NUI Senators. Like him, I am deeply suspicious of the Confucius Institute at UCD. I believe it is largely there to ensure political conformity among Chinese expatriate third level and...

Those of us who represent the graduates of NUI are glad that he has been here to see justice done for that group.

Tom Clonan: ...riots? The social inequality is being mobilised by far-right groups. We have 12 far-right groups active in Ireland at the moment and they are exploiting the unfairness and exclusion so many people experience.

Only recently they were at the Department of Justice on St. Stephen's Green...

Lynn Ruane: ...ensuring that an election could be conducted.
