Michael McGrath: ...point was that the mechanism for waiving the money, or actually gifting it back to the Exchequer, is through the Taxes Consolidation Act; it is anchored in taxation legislation. It is a fundamental tenet of our tax system that people do have a right to privacy, so I do not have a right to know how much an individual is gifting back every year. People can make a voluntary declaration if...

Seanad: National Task Force on Medical Staffing: Statements. (22 Oct 2003)

...been overtaken by modern life. It should be remembered that while the diagnostic, curative, consultancy and operational requirements of patients can vary, they do not vary in respect of one central tenet – all patients require the best possible treatment. All consumers of the Department of Health and Children's medical services want the best treatment, regardless of where it is received.

Seanad: Veterinary Practice Bill 2004: Second Stage. (4 Nov 2004) See 1 other result from this debate

Joe O'Toole: ...him or her and to test the evidence. If not, the practitioner will go to the High Court afterwards and the case will be lost. The Attorney General should examine that point. I am talking about the tenets of natural justice with which I am familiar. In all such situations a High Court judge will ask what is the nature of the domestic hearing or system that was used. Was it fair, judicially...

Written Answers — Schools Building Projects: Schools Building Projects (8 Jul 2008)

Batt O'Keeffe: ...projects. The scheme is not intended to leave schools with significant fundraising needs but for the school to tailor the scope of capital works commissioned to the available funding. A central tenet of the scheme is that the schools, granted discretion and funding, must equally accept responsibility for prioritisation, adherence to statutory regulations, control of costs and ensuring...

Seanad: Order of Business (28 Mar 2007)

Mary O'Rourke: ...great sympathy, namely, the cases piling up against the Department of Education and Science. If what we read is correct, the Department seems determined to fight each one. It has always been a tenet of Departments to fight such cases whenever and from wherever they arise, but many of the cases to which the Senator referred involve great heartbreak for parents and carers. A more prudent...

International Protection Bill 2015 [Seanad]: Committee Stage (Resumed) and Remaining Stages (16 Dec 2015)

Thomas Pringle: I support these amendments. It is hard to figure out why amendments such as these have to be tabled. The tenet of the Bill appears to be that if a marriage breaks down or ceases to exist after family reunification, those who have come here to be reunited with family will lose their rights to residency. This is bizarre. It is supposed to be a humanitarian system which is concerned with...

Pre-European Council Meeting: Statements (20 Oct 2021)

Michael McNamara: ...promulgated and we have no idea when they will be promulgated. It will probably be some time on 22 October, after they have theoretically come into effect. That is not rule of law. One of the central tenets of rule of law is that people can ascertain what the law is and behave accordingly. That needs to be addressed. The second issue I will raise relates to the challenges brought...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Pre-legislative Scrutiny of the General Scheme of the Certain Institutional Burials (Authorised Interventions) Bill (Resumed) (18 May 2021)

Roderic O'Gorman: ...in regard to property are a set of rights as well. The extent to which we value them is questionable but they are protected and have to be assessed in a decision on any intervention. The clear tenet of this legislation is such that where we have identified a burial site that meets a manifestly inappropriate standard, we wish to address that. When a law is passed, it has to have a...

Seanad: Health Insurance (Amendment) Bill 2023: Second and Subsequent Stages (6 Dec 2023)

Lorraine Clifford-Lee: ...Gníomhach. I thank the Minister of State for coming in and outlining the Bill. As she said, it is a technical Bill that we debate annually. The community rating, which is a central tenet of private health insurance in Ireland, is important. It is great she has outlined the various changes to support the community rating system we operate. It is in direct contrast to other...

Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) (29 Nov 2018)

Brendan Smith: I support the amendment also. Quite rightly, we hear in the House and at every committee people advocating strongly for support for the most vulnerable in society. It is a basic tenet which we should all support. There is no one more vulnerable than the baby catered for in this particular amendment. The protection offered if this amendment were accepted would provide support to infants...

Written Answers — Department of Finance: Tax Code (19 Jul 2016)

Michael Noonan: ...the Oireachtas for the continued phasing out of the USC as part of a medium term income tax reform plan. Such a plan, if approved by the Oireachtas would effectively reduce the income tax burden on individuals, which is a central tenet of the pre-Budget submission made by the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation. As the Deputy will be aware, it is a long standing...

Written Answers — Department of Education and Skills: Third Level Education Reform (9 Apr 2014)

Ruairi Quinn: The broad tenets of higher education policy in Ireland were set out in the National Strategy for Higher Education published January 2011. I am implementing a wide ranging reform programme in higher education based in part on the NSHE which will enhance the quality of research, teaching and engagement in the system, modernise governance and accountability of institutions and a restructuring...

Seanad: Order of Business (Resumed) (1 Dec 2009)

Jim Walsh: ...everywhere, who are appalled by it. This underlines the need for the State to have robust and effective measures in place. In that regard, as a Christian and a Catholic, I believe in the whole tenet of penance and atonement. In such a capacity, I find myself in agreement with Senator Bacik about people in high places taking responsibility for either actions or inaction. However, as a...

Seanad: Water Services Bill 2014: Second Stage (Resumed) (18 Dec 2014)

John Gilroy: This is a basic tenet of the left wing. We do not load tax after tax on work. That is nonsense. The Anti-Austerity Alliance, Sinn Féin and the People Before Profit Alliance all say water services should be paid for out of general taxation. If we remove as many costs from the Exchequer as we can, we will be in a position to do something about reducing and, ultimately, eliminating the...

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Business of Committee (1 Dec 2016)

Jack Chambers: ...per the tripartite separation of powers, one of which is the courts, provided for in our Constitution. A determination has been made by the Supreme Court which is extremely relevant to the central tenet of what the Minister of State proposes today. Regarding Deputy Brophy's point, the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality spoke yesterday morning about a two-way process...

Written Answers — Overseas Missions: Overseas Missions (27 Feb 2008)

Willie O'Dea: ...personnel to support peacekeeping operations throughout the world. This year marks the fiftieth anniversary of Ireland's first participation in a United Nations peacekeeping mission. A central tenet of Irish foreign policy is support for the multilateral system of collective security represented by the United Nations. In this regard, Ireland has worked to uphold the primary role of the...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (1 Feb 2022)

Micheál Martin: ...of women who raise issues and who are then not considered for promotional opportunities and so on. Essentially, because they raise issues, they effectively get punished. That was the basic tenet of the presentation. The review currently being decided on by Government is independent with a judge independent of the political system.

Other Questions: Irish Language (24 Sep 2015)

Terence Flanagan: ...in order to ensure that Irish becomes more than an official language in name only and operates as an official language. As the Minister of State knows, jobs and job creation have been central tenets of the Government's record. It is, therefore, disappointing that when it knew this was coming down the track more emphasis was not placed on the issue. The Minister of State is not long...

Topical Issue Debate: School Textbooks Rental Scheme (19 Feb 2014)

Dominic Hannigan: ...the Minister of State for his honesty and his response. I agree with him that this is a very good scheme but I also agree that the way it is applied is unfair. I am very disappointed with the tenet of the response. We are all in politics because we believe it to be in the interests of people to work on their behalf. Politics is the art of the possible and if the Department says its own...
