- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Energy Conservation (15 Oct 2024)
Darren O'Rourke: I do not disagree with the Minister. I and my party have been wrestling with how to deal with the private rented sector. The Minister has heard my concern over the risk that these well-organised, well-resourced real estate investment funds will take great advantage of this while small landlords do not. At the same time, there is potential for rent increases because we know renovation...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Energy Conservation (15 Oct 2024)
Eamon Ryan: I take both recommendations. It is a valid point. We need to monitor, measure and continually adapt. If there are signs that retrofitting is leading to big rent increases, increased evictions or any other such measure, obviously we would have to adjust and see what can be done. It is right to start going into the rental sector, however, and make sure it is not left behind. We need to...

Marian Harkin: 55. To ask the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment to clarify his policy position ahead of a planning application decision by An Bord Pleanála, given his recent comments about the fact that a liquified natural gas, LNG, storage facility may no longer be needed as back-up in a natural energy crisis, and given that An Bord Pleanála's decision on a current...

Thomas Pringle: I am taking this question on behalf of Deputy Harkin. This question relates to the two previous priority questions on LNG facilities and the recent planning Act that just went through. What are the implications of the amendments made in the planning Act for the upcoming An Bord Pleanála decision on the LNG facility?

Eamon Ryan: I will not read the prepared written response because it is similar to the answer I gave to the first question. All these questions relate to a similar issue. I do not see any implications other than for a potential project. In Ireland's case a non-commercial temporary strategic storage facility would go through the strategic infrastructure process rather than to the local authority....

Thomas Pringle: I take what the Minister has said that that is the question that needs to be answered. In reality these amendments came forward on Report Stage in the Seanad and came back to the Dáil. We did not even get to debate them because the time ran out. If that clarity needed to be given in respect of planning applications or the planning Act, surely it was known about a year ago or six...

Eamon Ryan: What I would love to see Deputy Murphy supporting, as part of this new investment to a green economy, is the investment in Rosslare Harbour. It is at the centre of a new, cleaner way of doing things, including the reintroduction of rail freight and the restoration of the rail line from Wexford to Waterford-----
