Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I do not propose to spend much more time on the bike shelter. I want to ask about the siopa at the front of Leinster House. Anybody who does cycle to this campus - and I was one of the signatories to that letter - knows the vast preponderance of the bikes arrive in through Kildare Street, not through the Merrion side, where the bike shelter is. Is there a plan for what is going to happen...

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: This may seem a facetious question, but I do not intend it facetiously. Did anybody look at the siopa for the provision of bike parking? When the OPW set about a project to say, "We need to build some bike parking", did anybody at any stage say, "The siopa has been chronically underutilised?" Was it factored in anywhere? No. Okay. It would-----

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: To me, it seems as obvious as the nose on my face, but there we go. Another thing that is as obvious as the nose on my face is climate change and sea level rise. What sea level rise is the OPW factoring into its forward planning?

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: But Mr. Mooney is saying 2100. Is that the kind of timeframe within which the OPW is predicting these scenarios?

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I think most evidence would point towards around a metre by 2100. The witnesses can probably guess my next question. The last major coastal change study the OPW has done does not factor that in. Professor Peter Thorne, in a report from Caroline O'Doherty, said what we were announcing was "a plan to make a plan" in terms of dealing with coastal erosion. Our coastal erosion study does not...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí (Atógáil) - Leaders' Questions (Resumed) (22 Oct 2024)

Simon Harris: The Deputy said the HSE has said there is no resolution. I do not doubt what he has heard. What they are telling me is they are trying to do two things: they are trying to secure a property in the county and they - when I say "they", I mean the Brothers of Charity - in parallel are running a recruitment campaign to staff that service. That is what they are telling me is happening. The...

Pádraig Mac Lochlainn: As the Government Chief Whip will know, we dissented from the schedule last week. What I want to raise right now is the poll in The Irish News today that reveals that for the first time there is no longer a majority in favour of remaining in the union. In 2015, the figure was 59.1%. Now it is 48.6%. Will the Government hold statements on this matter and to commit to it? We need to talk...

Ivana Bacik: I welcome the Taoiseach's comments this morning that he is looking for a pathway to progress the occupied territories Bill. That is welcome. I also note, however, that he said it will be challenging to see it passed before the election, whenever that will be. On this side of the House, I think we would all be willing to facilitate the speedy passing of the Bill, given the ongoing...

Holly Cairns: I will speak on the same issue. As we speak genocide is happening in Gaza. We will probably never know the full extent of the death toll of the people lying under rubble. It is shameful that this State maintains economic, diplomatic and travel relationships with Israel, a state that is unashamedly committing war crimes by the second. The people of this country have wanted action for a...

Richard Boyd Barrett: Another day, another Israeli massacre in Gaza. Since dawn, another 45 innocents have been slaughtered by this terrorist regime. Almost certainly, the weapons that killed those people came from the United States and possibly travelled through Irish airspace. The US military, which supports all this, is also using our airports. Will the Government give us the debate we asked for about the...

I wanted to ask a couple of questions about that. There was a letter to the Ceann Comhairle, which was dated after the general election and which was signed by Deputies Bacik, Cannon, Costello, Carroll MacNeill, Leddin, Matthews, Ó...
