Appointment of Minister and Ministers of State (2 Jul 2024)

Appointment of Minister and Ministers of State (2 Jul 2024)

Simon Harris: I wish to announce for the information of the Dáil that having informed the President that Dáil Éireann had approved my nomination of Deputy Jack Chambers to be a member of the Government, the President on 26 June 2024 appointed him accordingly. On the same day, I assigned the Department of Finance to Deputy Jack Chambers. On 27 June 2024, on my nomination, the Government...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (2 Jul 2024)

Mary Lou McDonald: I heard the news that our colleagues Deputies Róisín Shortall and Catherine Murphy have announced they are not going forward for re-election. I acknowledge them as two mighty and formidable women in leadership. I wish them both the very best in the future. A moment of girl power, I feel, which is rare enough in these Chambers. Two thirds of people believe it is harder than...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Circular Economy as it relates to Construction Sector: Discussion (2 Jul 2024)

Darren O'Rourke: I thank the witnesses for coming in. I will continue on the same theme. On the barriers to retrofitting, it strikes me the default position seems to be demolition and rebuild rather than retrofitting or refitting. Will both organisations touch on some of the barriers as they see them? The next issue is for CIF. I see many recently-developed housing estates. I am in County Meath and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Circular Economy as it relates to Construction Sector: Discussion (2 Jul 2024)

Darren O'Rourke: It is one of them, although they have drumlins in Monaghan and they manage to beat us. What of that policy of burying waste soil and covering it with a lawn of grass? Maybe CIF can start with that one and we can touch on the retrofitting barriers.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Circular Economy as it relates to Construction Sector: Discussion (2 Jul 2024)

Darren O'Rourke: Does Mr. Fitzpatrick think that equation will change with a change in regime, increased circularity and everything we are talking about here? How does he think a change in the regime in the sense of increasing the amount of circularity, the reuse of construction and demolition waste will work? Will that lend itself to more demolition or less?

Report of the Select Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Motion (27 Jun 2024)

Patricia Ryan: I assure the Acting Chair that I will not take the ten minutes allocated to me. On behalf of the committee, I thank all the stakeholders. Their work was invaluable to us. The amount of work the civil servants have put in has been invaluable. I like to think that, down the road, the report will not be left gathering dust on a shelf but will be implemented and will be a launching pad for a...

Report of the Select Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Motion (27 Jun 2024)

Malcolm Noonan: I thank the Deputies who contributed. I apologise on behalf of the Minister of State, Deputy Richmond. He had to go to another event. I will try to sum up the contributions I have listened to, if that is okay, before I give a closing statement. Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett raised the issue of tax breaks for forestry as I came into the Chamber. These are issues in respect of which...

Report of the Select Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Motion (27 Jun 2024)

Gerald Nash: I welcome the opportunity to have a debate, if we can describe it as such, in this Chamber on a highly significant report from the Commission on Taxation and Welfare. Quite frankly, if the Committee on Budgetary Oversight had not decided to examine the recommendations of the report, which was published in September 2022, I do not believe we would be having a debate in this Chamber at all....

Report of the Select Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Motion (27 Jun 2024)

Bernard Durkan: The next speaker is Deputy Boyd Barrett who will have ten minutes

Report of the Select Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Motion (27 Jun 2024)

Richard Boyd Barrett: I will probably take less than ten minutes. The Commission on Taxation and Welfare deserves great credit for the extensive work it did in producing its own report, which is a huge piece of work. Similarly, the Committee on Budgetary Oversight put in a fair bit of work and thought into producing its own report. Given the volume of recommendations involved I do not support many of the...

Report of the Select Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Motion (27 Jun 2024)

Neale Richmond: I welcome the opportunity to speak on the motion and thank Deputy Ryan, in particular, for proposing it and providing context for this very important debate. I thank the members of the budgetary oversight committee, especially those who are present for this debate on a Thursday evening, for compiling the report following their examination of the report of the Commission on Taxation and...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Youth Services (27 Jun 2024)

Brian Stanley: The Minister of State listed off a lot of sums for once-off funding that are relatively modest. The particular funding stream that goes to ETBs for distribution in Laois - he also referred to Louth - is far lower. It is just above €15 per head of youth population in 2023. I accept and understand that there are parts of Dublin with the highest needs, but a gap of 1,000% needs to be...
