- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Impact of UK Referendum on Membership of the European Union on Irish Agrifood and Fisheries Sectors: Discussion (29 Nov 2016)
Grace O'Sullivan: I thank Mr. Cotter for his presentation. Even though I am not a committee member I wanted to attend here today because I have huge respect for the work of Bord Bia, including its sustainability programme called Origin Green, its work to meet the targets of FoodWise 2025 and the farm to fork initiative. Can we add value here at home before we export? Is there anything that Bord Bia can do...
- Seanad: Order of Business (30 Nov 2016)
Grace O'Sullivan: I was interested to hear Senator McDowell say he felt he was misled. I am very surprised that someone like him would feel misled. Given his many years' experience and professional capability to scrutinise I am shocked to hear that. However, I absolutely support his request for the Minister to come to the House to discuss our inability to curb Ireland's greenhouse gas emissions. I wish to...

Grace O'Sullivan: Maybe a tinge.
- Seanad: Climate Action and Low Carbon Development: Statements (7 Dec 2016)
Grace O'Sullivan: I thank the Minister, Deputy Naughten, for coming into the House. This is an area of particular interest to me. I do not know if the Minister is as old as I am, but in the mid-1980s I had the opportunity to go to Antarctica, and in 1989 also.
- Seanad: Climate Action and Low Carbon Development: Statements (7 Dec 2016)
Grace O'Sullivan: Even then we were starting to hear of the concept of climate change and the impact it would have on small Pacific nations and also throughout Europe. Here in Ireland, we see it in many shapes and forms. I believe we may be approaching the perfect storm because we have the issue of climate change, which is high on the agenda, Brexit, Mr. Trump becoming President of the United States, and the...
- Seanad: Order of Business (8 Dec 2016)
Grace O'Sullivan: In times of darkness, it was great to see a positive light being shone on Europe recently, with the election of the Austrian President, Alexander 'Sascha' Van der Bellen. On behalf of all of my Green colleagues across Europe, I welcome this great election. Hopefully, other countries will take some lead from Austria so we can work towards a united Europe, as I believe that united we stand,...
- Seanad: Order of Business (15 Dec 2016)
Grace O'Sullivan: I wish to follow on from Senator Conway-Walsh's remarks. It is shocking what we are seeing in the Dáil Chamber today. The fight is causing greater uncertainty as we go into the Christmas period. I read this morning that people who are homeless are being exposed to violence, drug taking, mould, damp, bed bugs, scabies, blood-stained mattresses, rats and abuse. It is disgraceful that...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government: Quarterly Progress Report Strategy for Rented Sector: Department of Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government (18 Jan 2017)
Grace O'Sullivan: Action No. 1.19 stated the Government would work "with the Central Bank to ensure that the Code of Conduct on Mortgage Arrears provides a strong consumer protection framework". Has there been any progress on this? Will the code of conduct be voluntary or will there be some mandatory mechanism? Action No. 1.20 stated "We will request the Central Bank to conduct an assessment on existing...
