Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality: Recommendations of the Report of the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed) (12 Oct 2022)

Regina Doherty: I thank the Taoiseach for coming today and I apologise for not being here earlier. I was on the Order of Business in the Seanad. I acknowledge the amount of work that this Government and the previous Government have already done to address what we have been talking about for what feels like generations. Eaten bread is soon forgotten, as they say, and we are concentrating on all of the...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (20 Oct 2022)

Regina Doherty: I will do that.

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (20 Oct 2022)

Regina Doherty: Hear, hear.

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (20 Oct 2022)

Regina Doherty: I thank the Cathaoirleach and colleagues. Senator Conway wants two debates. One is specific to a small number of Members but it is extremely important because all the Members from his area have raised on numerous occasions the funding for the transfer of the heritage sites to the county council. Clearly, there is no response that is satisfactory to the Members, so I will see if I can...

Seanad: Sitting Arrangements: Motion (20 Oct 2022)

Seanad: Civil Registration (Amendment) (Certificate of Life) Bill 2022: Second Stage (20 Oct 2022)

Regina Doherty: I welcome some guests in the Gallery. The couple who originally came to me many years ago with this issue, Caroline and Martin Smith, are here. It has taken us this long to get a resolution. They are very welcome today. They are accompanied by Anne-Marie Murtagh, Sarah Behan, Georgina Culshaw and Mary Halford. They are all very welcome and I am glad they are here today. I am introducing...

Seanad: Civil Registration (Amendment) (Certificate of Life) Bill 2022: Second Stage (20 Oct 2022)

Regina Doherty: I thank the Acting Chairperson and the Minister of State, Deputy Peter Burke, for coming to the Chamber today and for his interventions in the Minister's speech. The bizarre nature of the response would probably be okay if this was the first time that the Department and its officials had ever had any sight of this. I spent a privileged four years in the Department and there are very large...

Regina Doherty: Next Tuesday.

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (26 Oct 2022)

Regina Doherty: I also welcome Ambassador Nader on his return visit to Ireland. My son did an Erasmus programme in Austria a number of years ago and was made very welcome. I hope the ambassador is also receiving a warm welcome here. I also draw my colleagues' attention to the presence of Mr. Conor Dolphin in the Visitors Gallery. He is from Galway to do intern work with us and is very welcome. The Order...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (26 Oct 2022)

Regina Doherty: I join you, a Leas-Chathaoirligh, in those congratulations. It is lovely when somebody else, not just your own, recognises your brilliance. I wish the Cathaoirleach congratulations and continued success. Senators Dolan, Carrigy, Ahearn and Lombard have looked for probably two debates. One is about special schools and their locations and, particularly, the length of the journeys some of...

Seanad: Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: Report and Final Stages (9 Nov 2022)

Regina Doherty: I have a request on the grouping.

Seanad: Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: Report and Final Stages (9 Nov 2022)

Regina Doherty: I am asking for something before I say it is not agreed. The proposed groupings are amendments Nos. 1 and 2; 3 and 4; 5 to 7, inclusive, - all of which are fine; and 9 to 15, inclusive. Grouping amendments Nos. 9 to 15, inclusive, does not sit right and I propose that they be grouped as amendments Nos. 9 and 10,-----

Seanad: Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: Report and Final Stages (9 Nov 2022)

Regina Doherty: Yes.

Seanad: Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: Report and Final Stages (9 Nov 2022)

Regina Doherty: If the answer to the question Senator Craughwell has asked is in the affirmative, I would like to know why the change is being made. Why is it being made now on Report Stage given that we have been talking about this Bill for nearly two years? Why at such a late stage would we make such a drastic realignment of regulatory authority by the IAA of our search and rescue services?
