Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Safety: Discussion (27 Sep 2023)

Mr. Michael Rowland: The Deputy asked about our influence, especially in respect of active travel. We are very supportive of it. The road safety strategy is a safe system approach. One of the tenets of that strategy is safe and healthy modes of travel. We encourage that. We participate in other national committees, including the most recent committee on the reduction of speeds, and the...

Seanad: Pharmacy Bill 2007: Committee and Remaining Stages (22 Mar 2007)

Brendan Ryan: ...a person must satisfy the council that he or she is fit to be a registered pharmacist. That condition is additional to the requirements on qualifications. Does the council have to observe the tenets of the Equal Status Act 2000 in its determination of whether a person is fit to practise? I am simply trying to understand the meaning of this provision. The Irish Blood Transfusion Service...

Seanad: An Bille um an Séú Leasú is Fiche ar an mBunreacht, 2002: An Dara Céim. Twenty-sixth Amendment of the Constitution Bill, 2002: Second Stage. (12 Sep 2002)

It is crucially important – and this has been repeatedly said – that the substance, implications and tenets of the treaty are spelt out in the clearest and most easily digestible language. This did not happen on the last occasion. If it does not happen on this occasion a negative result is on the cards. "When in doubt leave it out" is an understandable tendency which may cause many to...

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Legislative Framework Underpinning the State's Response (9 Sep 2020)

Matt Shanahan: My thanks to our guests today. I will go back to the point raised some moments ago on the powers of gardaí. The main tenet coming across from the submissions is that we must have robust constitutional oversight, albeit some of the recommendations were probably not well understood early on. The issue of house parties occupied a good portion of time in the national media yesterday,...

Seanad: Succession (Amendment) Bill 2015: Second Stage (11 Mar 2015)

Mary White: ...help this family in trouble. They have suffered so much. As stated in the explanatory memorandum, the assertion that a person should not be allowed to profit from his or her crime is a well-known tenet of criminal justice.It is a principle which ought to be more prominently reflected in statute law and honoured in common law. It is a pity this Bill cannot be accepted but I understand...

Written Answers — Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport: Taxi Regulations (9 Nov 2023)

Eamon Ryan: ...the SPSV industry. Dispatch operators are regulated in Ireland by the NTA. They are permitted to provide bookings to SPSV licenced drivers using SPSV licensed vehicles, only.

Defence (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2006 [Seanad]: Report and Final Stages (3 Apr 2007)

Joe Costello: ...whose behalf is the DPP prosecuting, other than on his own behalf? It appears that is a weakness in the legislation, considering that it is supposed to embody, in so far as possible, the existing tenets of civil jurisdiction and the civil administration of justice. It seems this is a significant departure in regard to court martial when we are trying to make them as close as possible in...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (24 Nov 2020)

Róisín Shortall: ...that she comes in here under the normal parliamentary questions rota. The Taoiseach knows in his heart that is wrong and he would not accept that if he was on the Opposition benches. A basic tenet of our parliamentary democracy is that there is accountability by Government to the House. The Taoiseach is denying us that accountability by protecting the Minister, Deputy McEntee. It is...

Seanad: Order of Business (26 Mar 2009)

David Norris: This is the central mystery and tenet of the Christian religion. It is not only Roman Catholics who are offended, I am offended. It is blasphemous, but there should not be criminal laws for blasphemy. However, one should express the fact that young people are being demeaned for commercial purposes. The Islamic faith regards Jesus Christ as one of the principal prophets, and to mock the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Climate Change Issues specific to Agriculture, Food and the Marine Sectors: Discussion (Resumed) (6 Mar 2018)

Mr. Conor Mulvihill: There is a realisation in terms of where we stand. It is a bit like veganism; each to their own on the organic piece. No one size fits all. Based on the tenets the various witnesses today have espoused it is clear that most of us are working in the right direction. The Dairy Sustainability Ireland initiative is the first involving every individual dairy company, all...

Seanad: Personal Injuries Assessment Board Bill 2003: Second Stage. (20 Nov 2003)

.... For some time past, efforts have been made by the Irish Insurance Federation to point out that one is only entitled to compensation if somebody else is at fault. That, of course, has been a basic tenet of our law for quite some time. Perhaps there is some merit in moving to a situation of accepting no-fault liability, whether in regard to traffic accidents or particular types of claims....

Written Answers — Capitation Grants: Capitation Grants (10 Feb 2009)

Batt O'Keeffe: ...of last year. In the event of the receipt of a request for additional grant aid for the project from the school authority, this will be assessed.

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Military Neutrality (23 Jan 2024)

Matt Carthy: ...oversight? As I have said repeatedly and will reiterate, there is no democratic mandate for this. The Tánaiste's party's own manifesto set out clearly the protection of the triple lock as a core tenet of enshrining our neutrality, and the programme for Government did likewise. Will he give a commitment in respect of Dáil oversight that no guillotine will be applied and that...

Seanad: Civil Partnership and Certain Rights and Obligations of Cohabitants Bill 2009: Committee Stage (Resumed) (7 Jul 2010)

Jerry Buttimer: ...import of the Bill and Senators Walsh and Hanafin spoke about the crux of their opposition to the Bill. Herein lies the crux as I understand from them. The Bill is about civil partnership and the tenet of it is civil status. That is what the Bill is about. It is about creating a civil partnership and recognising that partnership. I have a profound difficulty with the amendments. I...

Seanad: Planning and Development Bill 2020: Committee Stage (30 Nov 2020)

Malcolm Noonan: I thank Senator Boyhan. His point is excellent. The participation of young people, including children, is a fundamental tenet of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. It is vital that local authorities and all other public bodies learn as they go and ensure they include robust structures for engagement with marginalised groups, minorities, the Traveller community and young people,...

Seanad: Criminal Justice (Withholding of Information on Offences Against Children and Vulnerable Persons) Bill 2012: Committee Stage (Resumed) (12 Jun 2012)

Alan Shatter: Yes, but not in the context of civil law, the role of the State and legislation. The Catholic Church is entitled to have its own canon law and the Jewish religion is entitled to have its own tenets. All of the Muslim and various Protestant faiths have different tenets and principles but when it comes to civil law, the State is agnostic of those. The State's position is to enact laws in the...

Seanad: Research and Innovation Bill 2024: Committee Stage (Resumed) (30 Apr 2024)

Aisling Dolan: It has been noted by the Minister of State that this is very clearly outlined in the Universities Act 1997 and, of course, with all universities that is a key tenet. Regarding funding that is coming under this agency, it will fund across all disciplines and will be based on excellence. The very first line talks about the maintenance of excellence in the standard and quality of research and...

Other Questions: Special Education Review (8 Jul 2014)

Ciarán Cannon: ...is set to increase next year. Within the finite resources available to us, we have, as best we can, protected special needs education within the overall education budget, which has been a central tenet of the work of the Minister, Deputy Ruairí Quinn, in the past three years. To reply to Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett's question, if the INTO has a concern that, without lifting the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Employee Experiences of Technological Surveillance in the Financial Services Sector: Discussion (24 May 2023)

...it has to. The mood music has changed. The President and the President of the United States are publicly saying that the recognition of workers, and trade union and collective bargaining, are key tenets of a civil society. There is not an option of adopting a minimalist approach. We have to adopt an approach that actually goes for the 80% target for collective bargaining. We would...
