Committee on Public Petitions: Decisions on Public Petitions Received (21 Mar 2024)

Gerard Craughwell: ...appeal. It is a done deal and it can never again be challenged. My view is that, while I understand the petitioner's need to do everything possible to prevent the Bill getting through, we should revert to him to say it has yet to go through the Seanad, so he should lobby in the Seanad to stop it. We should advise him to do it on a personal, one-to-one basis and not to send in a...

Seanad: Social Welfare (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2023: Second Stage (7 Dec 2023)

Gerard Craughwell: ...not prepared to sit back and allow class K to continue indefinitely. I have asked for this in every budget since 2016. If I cannot get the amendments through on this occasion, I will do what I did back in 2016 and revert to the High Court and we will have it out there. For God's sake, please spare me and the State a waste of time in going down to the High Court to prove what we already...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Ukraine War: Ambassadors of Ukraine and Moldova (21 Feb 2023)

Gerard Craughwell: ...the Ukrainian navy to maintain naval skills, it could make use of those ships somewhere in the Mediterranean or Atlantic where it would just keep skills and skill sets up to speed so that when things revert back to normal, its navy is ready to come straight back into work. While there has been massive support for refugees coming to Ireland, a few situations have come to my attention...

Seanad: Garda Síochána (Functions and Operational Areas) Bill 2021: Committee Stage (3 Feb 2022)

Gerard Craughwell: I appreciate the Minister of State's comments. I will revert to the superintendents to see if they have further comments for Report Stage.

Seanad: Irish Nationality and Citizenship (Naturalisation of Minors Born in Ireland) Bill 2018: Second Stage (21 Nov 2018)

Gerard Craughwell: ...can see no reason for anybody to oppose the Bill, particularly as it will put something right in the simplest possible way. I agree with Senator Nash that, if push comes to shove, we will have to revert to a referendum. Must we do so? The tools to put an extreme injustice right are within the Government's armoury. I ask the Minister of State to consider that and to save the Government...

Seanad: Commencement Matters: Occupational First Aid (7 Dec 2017)

Gerard Craughwell: ...school in her time. However, the arrangements across the country are ad hoc. I am referring here to basic first aid, not to the administration of medicine. I ask the Minister of State to revert to the Minister and ask him to examine this area. It would be simple enough to provide basic first aid training as part of the teacher training programme. We are not looking for serious medical...

Seanad: Order of Business (13 Jun 2017)

Gerard Craughwell: ...for doing so. I express my thanks to the Leader for his assistance behind the scenes which is not always seen but which was much appreciated in this instance. The next time the House sits I will revert to my usual self and recommence criticising the Government.

Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Engagement on Transport Policy (7 Jun 2017)

Gerard Craughwell: I will pose a few questions myself before reverting to the delegates. We all welcomed the announcement of the development of Dublin Airport as a new hub for trans-global flights. Where does Brexit leave the airport in terms of its ability to compete with the likes of Heathrow Airport? In terms of freight transport, my colleague, Senator Paul Daly, has already referred to roll-on,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: UK Withdrawal from the EU: British Ambassador to Ireland (4 Apr 2017)

Gerard Craughwell: ...is an issue of concern. There was another issue that I wished to raise but I am afraid I have lost my train of thought. I will leave it at that for the moment but if it comes back to me, I will revert to the ambassador.

Seanad: Workplace Relations Bill 2014: Committee Stage (Resumed) (25 Feb 2015)

Gerard Craughwell: I have. I plead with the Minister at least to give Members the hope that he may revert on Report Stage and to not allow this matter to be pushed to a vote at this point, because I really seek to have this section removed.

Seanad: Gender Recognition Bill 2014: Committee Stage (Resumed) (10 Feb 2015)

Gerard Craughwell: ...being single should not prevent a person from qualifying for a gender recognition certificate and urged the Minister to revisit the issue. I am asking the Minister of State to revisit it again and revert to the Attorney General. In recent days there has been much discussion about the Attorney General and what she has or does not have to say. It really bothers me that Members are...

Seanad: Water Services Bill 2014: Committee Stage (19 Dec 2014)

Gerard Craughwell: ...had been set up by Irish Water in Ireland or whether it had been set up by a director or person associated with it. I wish to establish whether there is any relationship with that company. I will revert to the issue of a referendum and some of the arguments brought forward with respect to the difficulty with it. Senator John Gilroy has just adverted to the pipe structure through private...
