Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (22 Feb 2022)

Regina Doherty: I join the Cathaoirleach in expressing my sympathy on the loss of Christopher Stalford. When I heard the news at the weekend, I genuinely realised how fragile life is. A 39 year old gentleman with an incredibly promising political future ahead of him has died. We all have no doubt he would have been leadership material in probably the not too distant future. It is an awful tragedy. On my...

Regina Doherty: I join with the Cathaoirleach in extending a very warm welcome to the ambassador and I wish her a very happy Estonia day. Before I outline the Order of Business, I must say this is one of the most surreal of times, and I am half a century old. It is incredible that we are watching in real-time, potentially, the destruction of tens if not hundreds of thousands of people's lives in an action...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (24 Feb 2022)

Regina Doherty: I actually had a request in with the Minister with regard to the employment opportunities and potentially, perhaps, the lack of supply of workers for the construction versus the retrofitting of houses. As soon as I have a date, I will come back to Senator Burke on that. I acknowledge Senator Currie’s discussion on the British-Irish Parliament Assembly. I wish all of our colleagues...

The Senator said it better than I can when he said that this issue has gone on for...

Senator Seery Kearney is...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (3 Mar 2022)

Regina Doherty: I thank the Leas-Chathaoirleach and Senator Carrigy. I will pass on his comments to the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine today because I fear that in order for us to be effective in our sanctions against Putin and Russia it will certainly have an impact on the economies of all the European countries and indeed the western world. How to plan for that is what the Senator is...
