Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (9 Oct 2024)

Jim O'Callaghan: We are getting considerable receipts in from the multinational sector but what can be done to try to reduce that? We are not in a position where we want to try to reduce receipts coming in, but what does the Governor advise a government that it should do in respect of trying to lessen dependency on that? It is difficult to do that if one is very successful in a particular area, as we are.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (9 Oct 2024)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Rail Timetables: Iarnród Éireann (9 Oct 2024)

Steven Matthews: I join Deputy Smith in welcoming Deputy Farrell on his appointment to the role of Cathaoirleach.

I welcome Mr. Meade and Mr. Kenny to the committee again. They are always very willing to come in and engage...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Rail Timetables: Iarnród Éireann (9 Oct 2024)

Steven Matthews: The answer to when do we do it is that we start doing it now. There is no better time than now to do it. The situation is not going to get any better. The all-Ireland strategy is good because it does not just talk about running more trains or increasing frequency. It also refers to providing the matching infrastructure that is needed to do that. We cannot just keep cramming trains on the...
