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. Repossession should obviously only be used be a last resort when all other avenues have been explored. In...

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Revised) (15 Feb 2018)

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...

Other Questions: Freedom of Information Legislation (14 Dec 2017)

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. Currently, it is only an offence under the FOI Act to destroy a record after a request has been received in relation to that record. We have a situation, for example, where NAMA can destroy all the emails of staff 12 months after they have left and it...

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...

Disclosures Tribunal: Motion [Private Members] (29 Nov 2017)

Peadar Tóibín: ...McCabe. That falsehood was that he was a paedophile. Furthermore, elements of the State sought to base an entire legal strategy around this falsehood. They codified a lie as a legal strategy to destroy a man who was asking honourable and decent questions. The manner in which they did so was calculated and cold. We are faced with the reality that it was not just one person who set out...

...interest, FEMPI, cuts that all healthcare workers suffered. It is an extra 30% cut that was targeted - and politically targeted - at consultants.

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...

Topical Issue Debate: Motor Fuels Issues (18 Sep 2014)

John O'Mahony: ...and in the Mayo constituency. It involves mixing kerosene into petrol. Kerosene costs 80 cent per litre and petrol is €1.55 per litre and doing this increases the amount of petrol but it destroys the engines of cars more quickly than laundered diesel was doing some years ago. It has reached epidemic proportions in my constituency over the past number of weeks, as unsuspecting...

Post Office Network: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (26 Feb 2014)

Luke Flanagan: Eventually it will privatiseand destroy it like it has destroyed everything else.
