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

Brian Leddin: Yes, and if we are to take the truly sustainable approach, it might make far more sense to use the lower quality timber in the appropriate circumstance. I am referring to the Irish timber, which is certainly different to the Scandinavian product. I do not have any more questions. Do our guests have any more comments? Do our members have any other questions? If not, we will finish up...

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...

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...

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

Malcolm Noonan: There is a disparity between the €160 for every young person in Dublin city and then €15.50 in Louth and Meath. The average works out at approximately €51.60 per young person, but I do not think putting a price on every young person is the issue. It is being able to provide as wide a range of services. Deprivation is deprivation be it in inner-city Dublin or in rural...
