- Seanad: Order of Business (31 Mar 2015)
Jim Walsh: I begin by supporting Senator Labhrás Ó Murchú in that regard. Given the week that is in it it is appropriate that that issue is raised, and we do not have to wait until the centenary to commemorate those who sacrificed their own lives so that we might have independence and freedom. It is hoped that some day their aspirations will be achieved when, together, the island will...
- Seanad: An Bille um an gCúigiú Leasú is Tríocha ar an mBunreacht (Aois Intofachta chun Oifig an Uachtaráin) 2015: An Dara Céim - Thirty-fifth Amendment of the Constitution (Age of Eligibility for Election to the Office of President) Bill 2015: Second Stage (31 Mar 2015)
Jim Walsh: I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Coffey, to the House and offer my condolences to him. I have not had the opportunity privately to do so. As he will be aware, I served with his father for many years on the then General Council of County Councils and we were good friends. I sympathise with him on his bereavement. All parties are supporting this amendment of the Constitution. A bit...

Jim Walsh: I am raising this issue in the context of Government priorities. I accept there is support for what is being proposed in these referenda and there may be good reasons for holding them, but the decision to proceed with them at this time is indicative of a Government that has lost its way when it comes to recognising what are the priorities for the Irish people. I realise there is an ideology...
- Seanad: National Integration Strategy: Motion (1 Apr 2015)
Jim Walsh: I welcome the Minister of State to the House. These self-congratulatory motions are not exclusive to the current Government side. When we were in government we used to get them as well and they always made me cringe, as this one does a little bit. I was taken by Senator Bacik's nice story about the genesis of Waterford Glass. As someone who lives close to Waterford in the south-east, I...
- Seanad: National Integration Strategy: Motion (1 Apr 2015)
Jim Walsh: Senator Bacik is going up in my opinion. As a contrarian in this House, can I say that my party will not be opposing the motion before us? I welcome the appointment of a Minister of State for the new communities because integration is hugely important. The various immigrants to Ireland over the last 20 years in particular have added significantly to, and have enhanced the fabric of, Irish...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade: Global Irish - Ireland’s Diaspora Policy: Minister of State at Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (1 Apr 2015)
Jim Walsh: I welcome the Minister of State and much of what I wanted to say has been covered. With regard to the undocumented in the United States, perhaps we should put a bit more emphasis on the relationship with the Grand Old Party, GOP. Our traditional connections have been more with the Democratic Party than the Republicans and I know efforts have been made to build that up. There is scope to do...
