Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (12 Jul 2022)

Regina Doherty: There is certainly a lot to respond to. I thank Senator McGreehan for acknowledging the Minister for Foreign Affairs' work and the memo brought to Cabinet this morning, as others also did.

I read the story that...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (12 Jul 2022)

Regina Doherty: I thank Senator Gavan for his kind comments. I thank him personally and all the other Members of the House. I genuinely laughed when I heard him say that we finally have a left-right divide in this country. I know there are some incredibly decent left-leaning people in his party, but to call Sinn Féin a left-leaning party stretches incredulity to the limit-----

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (12 Jul 2022)

Regina Doherty: -----particularly given that one of Sinn Féin's leading Members, Deputy Ó Broin, has unashamedly called Sinn Féin a populist party. Those are his words not mine. Anyway, I thank Senator Gavan for his good wishes. The Defence Forces were brought up by Senator Conway who was also looking for clarity on CLÁR funding. He is looking for a debate in September on the ongoing...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (12 Jul 2022)

Regina Doherty: No child should be left waiting years for therapy and support from a trauma that they are suffering from arising from a sexual assault, sexual abuse or any sort of domestic violence.

I hope I speak on behalf of all of us to look for increased funding for CARI, the sole agency in the...

Seanad: Report of the Joint Committee on Key Issues Affecting the Traveller Community: Motion (12 Jul 2022)

Regina Doherty: I am sorry; I am nearly having a heart attack. A lot of the time, we talk about politics being all about the personal. No one could deny that since Senator Flynn came to the House two years ago she has worn her heart on her sleeve with regard to the very personal impacts society has imposed on her community. I thank her for that and for this report and its recommendations. This is not the...

Seanad: Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: Committee Stage (Resumed) (14 Jul 2022)

Regina Doherty: The reason we adjourned the debate on this Bill a number of weeks ago was to allow clarification of a point of order that was raised.

Seanad: Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: Committee Stage (Resumed) (14 Jul 2022)
