Seán Kyne: Ní raibh mé ag súil go mbeadh an Rialtas ag glacadh leis agus táim sásta é a tharraingt siar. Ag an am céanna, ó am go ham bíonn conspóid áitiúil faoi rudaí mar seo. Níor chuala mé é go minic go raibh mórán d’fhadhb leis an ainm oifigiúil Béarla ach ag an am céanna...

Seán Kyne: Is iontach a fheiceáil go bhfuil Sinn Féin anois ar thaobh An Gharda Síochána. Tá dualgais ag Coimisinéir an Gharda Síochána maidir leis an teanga agus leis an obair a dhéanann an tseirbhís agus go mbeadh gardaí trasna na Gaeltachta uilig. Tá a fhios ag an Seanadóir go ndearna an comhchoiste obair ar an ábhar seo.Rinne an...

Seanad: Horticultural Peat (Temporary Measures) Bill 2021: Second Stage (30 Nov 2021)

Seán Kyne: I will take six minutes, if that is okay. I would like to acknowledge the work by Senators Doherty and Gallagher on this important legislation. The purpose of any Second Stage debate is to do just that - to debate and to put forward facts, to put forward alternative facts, if one can use that phrase, to dispute items and to put forward concerns people have regarding the legislation. It is...

Seanad: National Development Plan 2021-2030: Statements (30 Nov 2021)

Seán Kyne: I will be sharing time with Senators Dolan and Cummins. I welcome the Minister and thank him for his work on the national development plan. It is important that we have a vision for Ireland in the years ahead and, more importantly, a commitment to capital infrastructure thereafter. I will be parochial and say that the people of Galway wait with bated breath at the possibility that Intel...

Seanad: Covid-19 and the New Measures (Health): Statements (1 Dec 2021)

Seán Kyne: I welcome the Minister and join others in condemning the protest outside his family home and, indeed, protests outside the family homes of any politicians of any persuasion. That is to be condemned. There is a time and a place for protest and free speech, and we have a proud record in this country of allowing protest to take place on our streets. We have seen examples of that during the...

Seán Kyne: I wish all Finnish people a happy national day next week. We all know businesses that have had Christmas parties and bookings for smaller gatherings and groups coming up to Christmas cancelled because of the increase in Covid cases and the current necessary health restrictions. The hospitality sector, above any sector, has faced tremendous challenges since the start of this pandemic. I...

Seanad: Health (Amendment) (No. 3) Bill 2021: Second Stage (3 Dec 2021)

Seán Kyne: I welcome the Minister of State. I will take up some of the comments regarding masks in schools, with the exception of those with special health requirements. I heard a commentator compare masks in school to a form of child abuse. This is absolutely ridiculous and scandalous. It is an insult to anybody who has, unfortunately, suffered a form of child abuse. Masks are an inconvenience....
