- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Special Educational Needs (24 Oct 2024)
Pádraig O'Sullivan: I thank the Minister of State for being here. This saga has been going on for a number of years. As he knows, I am our party's spokesperson on special education and have an interest in this area. Ballincollig as a community has a fairly large population of about 26,000, if not more at this stage. In comparison with the large number of people living there, it has had very few ASD classes...

Thomas Pringle: I thank the Leas-Cheann Comhairle for the opportunity to speak on the Family Courts Bill 2022. I broadly welcome the Bill and its intention to provide for the establishment of a family High Court, family Circuit Court and family District Court. This legislation is well overdue and I have been following its progression for a long time now as a member of the justice committee. There is no...

He and the Leas-Cheann Comhairle are to be commended for allowing a legitimate debate to take...

- Family Courts Bill 2022 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed) (24 Oct 2024)
Jim O'Callaghan: I welcome the opportunity to speak on this Bill. I commend the Minister for bringing it before the Dáil. Obviously, under our Constitution the administration of justice is the preserve of the courts. Even though that is the case, we, as Members of the Oireachtas, have an extremely important role to play in putting in place the statutory architecture required in order for the...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Review of Climate Action Plan 2024: Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment (24 Oct 2024)
Paul Murphy: It is noticeable that the Minister did not mention data centres, which are the elephant in the room where our carbon emissions and energy usage are concerned. He has probably seen that the SEAI says that the growth in electricity demand from data centres last year was more than all the renewable energy that was connected to the grid last year, illustrating the problem of attempting to go...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Review of Climate Action Plan 2024: Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment (24 Oct 2024)
Peter Burke: Both are important. It is not simple to decouple them. We need to be clear about the value that data centres bring to our economy. Ours is a modern economy that has attracted significant investment. Approximately one in every seven euro that we will spend under budget 2025 will come from foreign direct investment, that is, corporation tax, in our economy. As a value proposition, our...
