Climate Action and Low Carbon Development Bill 2015: Report Stage (Resumed) (30 Sep 2015)

Peter Mathews: I just want to add a few thoughts that come to mind, having listened to the contributions. It is just not good enough for a Government as strong as this to introduce legislation as weak as this. It is only creating an appearance; it is an illusion; it is like a mirage. The legislation needs teeth and the teeth that have been offered in the amendments by Deputies Wallace and Daly are...

Climate Action and Low Carbon Development Bill 2015: Report Stage (Resumed) (30 Sep 2015)

Peter Mathews: This is like the Ceann Comhairle earlier, who could not see that my contribution and the questions I asked were connected with the legislation and programme for Government. It is not the case that a steel trap door comes down and Members cannot talk about anything else. Of course, we can. This is a Parliament, from the French word "parler", to talk about ideas. These are small ideas and...

Peter Mathews: This is the climate that we live in.

Climate Action and Low Carbon Development Bill 2015: Report Stage (Resumed) (30 Sep 2015)

Peter Mathews: It is the climate in which an old lady of 93 cannot get through on the telephone, a lovely Greek word from ancient civilisation; "telos" means far away and "phone" means voice - the faraway voice. In respect of Germany, only a few weeks ago, in regard to the migration of refugees, our papers were full of, "Germany has gone in to overdrive in generosity". The figure of 1% of its population,...

Climate Action and Low Carbon Development Bill 2015: Report Stage (Resumed) (30 Sep 2015)

Peter Mathews: This is the "concrete" weather that Irish people live in; two million people unfairly treated in the so-called outcome of the collapse. Do not talk about recovery; it is an outcome at the moment. It is recovery for those few who own the capital and the wealth - the 6% to 8% growth, steady for the last 25 years. Those guys over there in numbers are afraid to write an assessment invoice to...

Climate Action and Low Carbon Development Bill 2015: Report Stage (Resumed) (30 Sep 2015)

Peter Mathews: By serendipity, I am in the Chamber this afternoon, due to a change of schedule. I am glad I am here because the last few contributions have been valuable. It is a pity there are so few Members in the Chamber to reflect on them but perhaps they are doing so in their offices. However, I doubt it. What Deputy Boyd Barrett said about the collapse of civilization is correct. It is when the...
