Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Sale of Permanent TSB Mortgage Loans: Discussion (6 Dec 2018)

Mr. Cormac Ryan: Glenbeigh Securities is a securitisation vehicle that has investors behind it. I know the committee would like me to comment in terms of who the investor is, and our own personal view and the view of Pepper is that we would like maximum transparency in all these cases. We have worked hard in the background, both in this case and in other cases with investors, as well as...

Social Partnership. (4 Apr 2006)

Bertie Ahern: The Deputy will always move to something else. When people were unemployed and working in England, there was no worry about the price of a house, and that is the position the Deputy would like to return to, but it is not what I would like to do.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Urban Area Speed Limits and Road Safety Strategy: Discussion (1 Mar 2022)

Kieran O'Donnell: I am a former councillor and have been a public representative for many years. We deal with this issue on a daily basis. People in residential areas approach me to say they want speed limits reduced. I go back to the council and interact with it. I have been dealing with this for years and I understand it. The question is: what will work? I always look at things in the round. I would...

Select Committee on Social Protection: Estimates for Public Services 2019
Vote 37 - Employment Affairs and Social Protection (Supplementary) (28 Nov 2019)

Regina Doherty: A great deal of work and research has been done on what the new model can and should look like. The proposed model might not be the same at the end of the process as it was at the beginning of it. The rationale for it has to be laid out to everybody. I do not believe any data should be held back. There should be transparency around what the Social Insurance Fund will look like in the next...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (25 May 2023)

Catherine Murphy: We should be very concerned about this. I would like to acknowledge that the work in Children's Health Ireland, CHI, Tallaght and Connolly is completed. They are working very well and credit where it is due. One of the questions that was responded to in this piece of correspondence was in relation to the fit-out. It is at pains to point out that the fit-out has no bearing on the other...

Seanad Public Consultation Committee: Young Voices on the Constitutional Future of the Island of Ireland: Discussion (Resumed) (7 Oct 2022)

Ms Karina Tropman: There was a question about CAMHS and how it works. Reforming CAMHS is essential. I was 12 or 13 years old, in my first year of secondary school, when I first met a CAMHS adviser for an evaluation. I was told I was lucky that I was born into poverty because I can appreciate the value of a cup of coffee. I was told there was no way I could be depressed because of my...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Integrated Education in Northern Ireland: Discussion (16 Jul 2015)

...Someone asked a question about shared classes and shared education. We see this as a step in the right direction, and we have funded it for the past 15 years, but it is only a step. We need them to progress further. Currently, they can get funding to work together but there is no expectation that they will go any further than that. We would like to see them move on to the next steps to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality: Recommendations of the Report of the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Jun 2022)

Neasa Hourigan: I might pick up on Ms Weldon's points about the negative connotations when we talk about disability. A number of opening statements today identified how rich and diverse the lives of women with disability are. Many are parents. Many are also carers. People who are not engaged with this discussion may not properly identify that many people in our society have a disability of one type or...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Housing and Retrofitting: Discussion (10 Jul 2019)

Mr. Declan Daly: Since there is a short time to do the work, unfortunately, contractors increase the price. They have to meet a technical specification and there is a lot of paperwork and an inspection unit that inspects all the work. They do it to a higher standard than if a person rang a local contractor about insulating the attic. It is not comparing like with like when looking at the...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (12 Dec 2023)

Malcolm Byrne: Like others, I would like to pay tribute to Senator Mary Seery Kearney for all of her work on the surrogacy issue. She brought her personal story but she has clearly delivered on this issue. I want to say, "Well done". On the other issue, I want to pay tribute to all of our healthcare workers, including many of those who come from all over the world. I see at first hand the vital work...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Third Level Education (1 Jun 2023)

Simon Harris: I find myself in agreement with Deputy Colm Burke. We need to be training more people to work in the health service. We need to be specifically training more people to work in areas including the one the Deputy has mentioned around radiation therapy, but we need to do it in a manner that works. We need to do it in a way that is not ad hoc. We need to do it in a way that is grounded in the...

Requests to move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 31. (12 Oct 2005)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the preparations by the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform for a "super prison" at Thornton Hall, including the massive cost of the archeological dig which is likely to exceed €30 million, the costs to service the site and upgrade local roads which are likely to exceed...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Cross-Border Theatre Projects: Smashing Times Theatre Company (15 Jan 2015)

Ms Mary Moynihan: What is particularly interesting about our company is that we like to work in partnership with other organisations. For example, we are artists and we like to work in parishes with people who work in reconciliation or in dealing with racism or, for example, with people who are experts in the area of suicide. Part of their role would be to look at the State structures with...

Public Accounts Committee: 2018 Financial Statements of the National Transport Authority (10 Oct 2019) See 1 other result from this debate

Ms Anne Graham: It is not 100% like-for-like. There is a requirement in the contract that the operator must provide a certain level of pension. That is stipulated in the contract. When the service is retendered, the drivers currently operating the services will have a right to continue on if there is a change in operator. Pension benefits do not transfer, but all other benefits transfer...

Select Committee on Social Protection: Estimates for Public Services 2020
Vote 42 – Rural and Community Development, and the Islands (Further Revised) (14 Oct 2020)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I would like to ask the Minister of State about volunteering supports. Attracting volunteers has been an issue in recent years. This may be largely to do with work-life balance issues. Perhaps remote working will give people more time to give back to their communities. The Revised Estimates show that a big chunk of funding is going towards volunteering supports. Yesterday's budget also...

Seanad: Houses of the Oireachtas (Amendment) Bill 2021: Committee and Remaining Stages (9 Dec 2021)

Garret Ahearn: I was listening to the contributions in my office while I was working. I acknowledge the presence of the Minister and thank him for being here. I could not let this go without making a contribution on the role of secretarial assistants. I have been a Senator for a year and a half, like many others, and have seen at first hand the quality of staff in this Chamber and staff who work for...

Written Answers — Department of Defence: Defence Forces Training (11 Apr 2019)

Bernard Durkan: 46. To ask the Taoiseach and Minister for Defence the extent to which the Naval Service and Air Corps are likely to have access to upgraded training facilities and equipment to undergo extra surveillance work likely in the aftermath of Brexit; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17175/19]

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Provision of Community Growing Spaces in Ireland: Community Gardens Ireland (1 Mar 2022)

Eoin Ó Broin: If we get into too much detail in our letter to the Minister, it will be almost like we are pre-empting the work. We need a letter that sets out a number of broad principles that are consistent with the Chairman's recommendations and some of our conversation. We should be informing the Minister that we have had this really important conversation, that there was broad unanimity among the...

Seanad: Election of Cathaoirleach (25 May 2011)

Marie Moloney: As a new and young Senator, I have not worked with the Cathaoirleach, as many others have, but it is obvious from the glowing tributes paid to him that he will be a fitting and popular holder of the position and I look forward to working with him in the coming years. Today is not a day for political speeches as there will be many days ahead for such speeches and debates. Today is a day for...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: National Library of Ireland: Chairperson Designate (20 Oct 2015)

Mr. Paul Shovlin: As the Deputy says, access is very important. In terms of exploiting this wonderful resource and in terms of cultural tourism, we have got to be there. If one is working with the likes of Google, one has to be careful that one is at least an equal partner. We are the custodians of these collections and need to make sure we are clever enough not to surrender everything to...
