Commission for Future Generations Bill 2023: Second Stage [Private Members] (30 May 2024)

Bríd Smith: ...cohort. They are called the 1% globally. That cohort makes vast profits off fossil fuels; in the case of vulture funds by owning and buying up property; from bank shares; or by developing a fast new car like Tesla and Elon Musk. Whatever it is, there is a 1% cohort hurtling us towards a disaster. They are given every leeway by a modern democracy that recognises the neoliberalism...

Joan Collins: ...Dublin-Monaghan bombings said: "They have no positive information or evidence that would clearly identify the culprits." We know there were eyewitness accounts from the day placing a certain loyalist in a car in Dublin that day. His photograph was then picked out of evidence books.

Pearse Doherty: ...would not go higher. This is crazy stuff. The Government has lost all control in respect of the cost and delivery of this project. Is it any wonder? The Minister and the Government are asleep at the wheel. This has been a slow-moving car crash from day one. The Minister for Health and his predecessors have been asleep at the wheel. We have raised this issue over and over again. The...

Brian Stanley: If you are driving a car at 100 km/h and you are going to Cork, you will get there at the set time of what it takes, but if you drive at 60 km/h, it will take longer. Yes? Okay. We will suspend the meeting for ten minutes-----

Seanad: Order of Business (30 May 2024)

Tim Lombard: ...I think there needs to be a more proactive programme put in place to make sure these amenities are more accessible, not alone with lifeguards - which are a really important part of that - but also car parking and particularly toilets, which need to be a part of the roll-out of a strategic policy to make sure that these beaches are more accessible to people. They are a wonderful asset to...

Martin Kenny: ...to focus on results. That is really what we want to try to do. We are in a new age in which we are seeking to decarbonise our transport system. Most people in rural Ireland have to have a car; there is no other option for them to go to work or an appointment or do whatever they have to do. From that perspective, the development of rail and the redevelopment of old rail lines that...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (29 May 2024)

Christopher O'Sullivan: .... Unfortunately, there is an issue with Department of Defence-owned infrastructure there, namely, a slipway at Lawrence Cove. It is an important slipway used by naval personnel but also by a car ferry operating between Castletownbere and Bere Island. It is in a really bad state. I brought it to the attention of the Tánaiste already. There is Department of Defence infrastructure...

Mary Lou McDonald: ...that aim. On the contrary it will make a difficult situation far more difficult, particularly for families that live in rural and isolated communities, and for other families who must rely on their car for all sorts of reasons. Why would he do this? I am asking him to put his money where his mouth is. If he believes he will tackle the cost of living, he should start by scrapping and...

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: ...’ Secondary School and Coláiste Chríost Rí. That amounts to 2,358 students. Going on the census information, while not all students, the vast majority of them are being brought to school in their car. There is great potential if we were able to create a number of routes that might go perhaps three times in the morning between 7.30 a.m. and 8 a.m. One that might...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Public Transport (29 May 2024)

Ruairi Ó Murchú: ...needs to be addressed. I understand that Expressway is a commercial operation but if we are talking about trying to get people out of cars and making sure we are not putting undue pressure on car park services in the airport, we need to make sure that Bus Éireann, which at least has an interaction with the Minister, has a sustainable service. A big part of this is ensuring it has...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Scrutiny of EU Proposals (29 May 2024)

Paul Daly: ...going to impact domestic animals? I know we need to control the imports and exports of animals, and commercial breeding as such, but in a domestic context, the family that load their dog up on the car to take the ferry to go camping in France for the summer, for example, is there anything in this regulation that is going to change this possibility or make it more difficult for people to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Challenges Facing Community-based Cancer Support Services: Discussion (29 May 2024)

Seán Crowe: ...concerns that some organisations have come to us about is the new gambling regulation. I do not know if that is a concern for the witnesses. If it is a certain amount of money or if you are raffling a car, for instance, that is going to be a challenge under the new regulation. I understand the problems with addiction and so on but we need to be much more inventive with regard to how we...

...and pain we already feel. To add insult to injury, the means test does not take into account the cost of caring in a household like ours. It does not allow for the cost of buying an adapted car, transport, medical expenses, special food supplements, additional heating and electricity required to heat our home, run Ciara’s hoist and charge her electric chair. It is also very...

Ireland's Recognition of the State of Palestine: Statements (28 May 2024)

Eamon Ryan: ...we made our announcement last Wednesday, we have learned the hard way in Ireland that using violence against innocent civilians to try to achieve political goals cannot and must never win, whether that is a car bomb on the streets of Omagh or Jerusalem, a rocket landing in Tel Aviv or a no-warning bomb blast in Birmingham, an assault on a Kibbutz or a bomb dropped from a jet fighter onto a...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: School Staff (28 May 2024)

Anne Rabbitte: .... I will certainly bring the Senator's comment on the Catholic Primary Schools Management Association back to the Minister. When it comes to contract work and trying to secure loans, be they for mortgages or car loans, contract workers must show they have permanency of employment. If they are seeking to purchase or engage in a loan, are coming to the final year of their contract and...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (28 May 2024)

Aidan Davitt: ...morning. As part of our climate action plan, this would also be a welcome help. In calling for this debate, I think sustainable transport should include VAT reductions on electric bicycles and car rentals, waiving tolls off peak and a reduction in bus fares. This co-ordinated plan with all these different streams of travel would certainly be a help and make it more possible for people...

...for those living with their parents during term time was 52 minutes, whereas those in student accommodation had a mean commuting time of 17 minutes. Unfortunately, many are left with no option but to commute by car, due to poor public transport in their areas.
