Seanad: Order of Business (7 Jul 2016)

Paul Coghlan: It seems strange that five cattle had to be destroyed in the manner they were. However, contrary to what Senator Ó Clochartaigh stated, it was to prevent these cattle from entering the food chain; it had nothing to do with repossession. We all have our views on repossessions.

John McGuinness: ...OPW spent some flood protection money on it. I understand that some money was given to the business-owner to assist with flood protection. The flooding that occurred before the last major flood destroyed the house again and put the man out of business. He spent his money, restored the premises and got on with it, but the same thing happened again. Is there any relief for someone like...

Seanad: Dog Breeding Establishments Bill 2009: Second Stage (26 Jan 2010)

Niall Ó Brolcháin: There is a suggestion that this will destroy the whole rural way of life for generations. The suggestion that this Bill, which is straightforward animal welfare legislation, will destroy a way of life or a rural culture is a gross exaggeration. I cannot understand from where this is coming. I do not see the logic in it other that there is some ulterior motive which is not being expressed...

Mick Wallace: ..., accountability and a meaningful archival record." I take it that "thin out" is another word for shredding. It needs to be looked at.

Richard Boyd Barrett: ...Very worryingly, Commandant Daire Roache explained that this is "part of a program that is for partner nations within NATO." Every week, we see further evidence that this Government is trying to destroy what is left of our neutrality and bring us in with NATO by stealth. How on earth can anyone look at this report and see anything other than the Irish Government pushing into a military...

Richard Boyd Barrett: ...the land is not absorbing carbon, what is left is the ocean. Some 50% to 60% of oxygen is produced by the ocean and through carbon absorption by the ocean forests and plankton.

We are faced with the reality that it was not just one person who set out...

Seanad Public Consultation Committee: Other Voices on the Constitutional Future of the Island of Ireland: Unionist Community (14 Oct 2022)

...thing that he did not say. He said that unionism could cause a major problem within a reunified Ireland but one of the biggest problems for me is that the extremist nationalism that has tried to destroy Northern Ireland for the last 100 years would not sit comfortably in this country either without the changing of symbolism and so on. It might not just be a problem within unionism. Some...
