- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (9 Jul 2024)
Martin Conway: I too would like to be associated with the very generous comments of the Cathaoirleach and Senator O'Loughlin on the passing of our dear friend and colleague, John O'Mahony. It came as a shock to all of us that he passed away so quickly. The last I heard of John was when he paid tribute to that great person, Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh. I first met John before I was...
- Seanad: Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) (No. 2) Bill 2024: Second and Subsequent Stages (10 Jul 2024)
Martin Conway: I welcome the Minister of State. I want to put on record that she is probably one of the most progressive Ministers in the Government. She listens to people, she understands where they are coming from and she reacts. This legislation exactly embodies her approach to politics. Everything has unintended consequences and we sometimes have to deal with those unintended consequences....

- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Asylum Seekers (11 Jul 2024)
Martin Conway: I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Carroll MacNeill, to the House. We look forward to having her at the EU scrutiny committee next Wednesday afternoon. I tabled this motion out of sheer frustration. In 2022, when war broke out in Ukraine, County Clare, more than any other county, made people from Ukraine feel welcome. Over time, some of those people were accommodated privately,...
- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Asylum Seekers (11 Jul 2024)
Martin Conway: Yet again, the Minister of State continues to be the only one who brings in the replies in a format I can read. I do appreciate it. I must always acknowledge this fact because she is the only one who has ever done it in my 13 years here in the House. That reply is really what I would have expected from the Department of integration. Clearly, everything is made up on the hoof. What is...

- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (11 Jul 2024)
Martin Conway: I welcome Senator Nikki Bradley to Seanad Éireann. As somebody with a disability who has been a proud member of this House for the past 13 years, I am no longer a lone voice. I commend and congratulate the Senator. What better champion could we have than somebody like her? I met the Senator for the first time about a year ago when Fine Gael launched a document on diversity and...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Childhood Obesity: Discussion (10 Jul 2024)
Martin Conway: I congratulate the Minister of State on his appointment. He is a diligent and very thoughtful contributor here in the health committee. I have no doubt he will bring the same commitment to his new and very important role. The Minister of State mentioned that some of the smaller shops in Cork do not stock fruit while there are bars of chocolate and ice cream and all that type of thing....
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Childhood Obesity: Discussion (10 Jul 2024)
Martin Conway: The Department should become a nuisance to the local authorities. It should push them to such a degree they become afraid of it and act. Sometimes when it comes to this type of thing, the planners tend to dictate a little bit too much. The stick needs to be used at times. I have been dealing with a situation in Clare where the local authority does not want the farmers' market. It would...
