The corporate sustainability reporting directive and reporting requirements are coming down the line. We have signed up to the directive and the data centres will have to comply with it in terms of the measures and parameters the Deputy has...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Review of Climate Action Plan 2024: Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment (24 Oct 2024)
Peter Burke: Public employment is vast in terms of what area you are looking at. The population of our State is growing rapidly. Looking at how much we have grown over recent years, it is quite significant. The public service will have to grow to match the services that our citizens require.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Review of Climate Action Plan 2024: Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment (24 Oct 2024)
Peter Burke: Retrofitting is a huge line of work. Many areas where people oppose having various levies to try to fund our carbon changes will be critical. I know from the midlands how much more we need to put into retrofitting. It is a huge challenge for us, at massive scale.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Review of Climate Action Plan 2024: Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment (24 Oct 2024)

Brian Leddin: We are past 2.30 p.m. The Minister needs to go. I thank colleagues for their co-operation. We had limited time but it has been a valuable and positive engagement. The Minister has been very forthcoming with his answers. I thank the Minister for making the time to meet with us this afternoon. As Deputy Bruton alluded to, it has been a difficult few weeks for the Minister, so we very much...

My officials have provided briefing material to the secretariat of the committee, which hopefully will be of assistance to members. This Estimate provides for a net increase of...
- Select Committee on Education and Skills: Estimates for Public Services 2024
Vote 45 - Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science (Supplementary) (24 Oct 2024) Niall Collins: Yes, absolutely. The €116 million in the main goes towards the €1,000 reduction in the student registration charge. I think it is fair to say we have to keep in context the fact that over the lifetime of this Government, we have done a lot of work to reform the SUSI grant system. We have increased thresholds and grant amounts. We also made technical adjustments to the scheme...

Vote 45 - Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science (Supplementary) (24 Oct 2024) Niall Collins: A long campaign has been waged by various stakeholders in that cohort of students. We have done a lot of work. We spend a lot of our time speaking about apprenticeships and higher education but part of our remit is research. We have reformed significantly the legislation and organisations that oversee and are charged with managing our research as well as with supporting people through...

Bringing this Bill before Dáil Éireann represents a major milestone on the path to achieving the commitment in the programme for Government to enact a Family Courts Bill to create a new dedicated family court within the existing court structure and provide...

- Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht – Questions on Policy or Legislation (24 Oct 2024)
Darragh O'Brien: I will just say this, a Cheann Comhairle. Reversing the designation from safe country is not going to process those claims. If anything, the claims will be in process for longer.
- Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht – Questions on Policy or Legislation (24 Oct 2024)
Paul McAuliffe: I wish to be associated with the comments made earlier in regard to Deputy Denis Naughten in his last contribution to the House.

Earlier in the summer, it received full...

Darragh O'Brien: The Deputy can be assured that I will. I know he has raised this at the parliamentary party as well, and he is a strong and active advocate on behalf of Scoil Chiaráin. He can be assured that, following what I am sure is not going to be his last intervention here in Dáil Éireann, I will raise this directly with the Minister, Deputy Foley, to ensure this project proceeds as a...
