Seanad: Situation in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories: Statements (19 Oct 2023)

Ned O'Sullivan: I have two minutes and I will not hang about. I commend the Tánaiste on the great work he is doing and the Government on its mature even-handed response to this crisis in the Middle East. The good image of Ireland on the international stage is under scrutiny. In that regard, we are not well served by gratuitous comment from some Irish public figures, whether they be in Europe,...

Seanad: The Political Situation in Northern Ireland: Statements (25 Oct 2023)

Ned O'Sullivan: I welcome the Minister of State. I will put a few brief points on record. The Good Friday Agreement was a watershed in the long and troubled history of our country. We have failed to deliver on the full potential of the Good Friday Agreement and that is highly regrettable and frustrating for those of us who invested heavily in a peaceful way forward and in new relations between...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (7 Nov 2023)

Ned O'Sullivan: If my information is correct, it would appear that a matter went to the Cabinet today regarding gas energy security and that the Government has agreed to move towards the installation of a gas storage facility. This is to be welcomed, even though it took an awfully long time for a very obvious measure to be put in place. Unfortunately, I hear the recommendation is that this gas facility be...

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Issues Facing the Early Childhood Sector: Discussion (Resumed) (14 Nov 2023)

Ned O'Sullivan: I will not detain everyone for too long. First, I must apologise for being late. The Seanad ran late and I did not have an opportunity to put my ear to the proceedings. Basically, what I wanted to know was covered in the question from Senator Clonan and answered very well by Ms Fleming. I would like to make an observation. We had a family retail business in a small town in Kerry for five...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (14 Nov 2023)

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (14 Nov 2023)

Ned O'Sullivan: I think so. There will be time to pay tribute to David. It is one of the greatest boasts of my life that I have shared a Chamber with him for 16 or 17 years, and we will have so much more to say about the great work he did. I was given an opportunity last evening to meet the family of little Emily Hand - her father and her sister - and some other people from Israel whose families have...

Seanad: Recent Violence in Dublin City Centre: Motion (29 Nov 2023)

Ned O'Sullivan: Like every other Member here I was absolutely shocked by the savage attack on a young child, her protectors and her carers in a very public place. I was horrified by it. It matters little to me whether the person who perpetrated the crime was Irish, non-Irish, English or whatever. That is not the important thing. The important point is that this crime happened and it has to be condemned...

Seanad: Recent Violence in Dublin City Centre: Motion (29 Nov 2023)

Ned O'Sullivan: This Minister has done extremely great work. No-one is talking about the crackdown on organised crime in this country or about the huge reduction in the level of violent deaths and assassinations, just to name one aspect. Our gardaí are doing a great job. There are people in the street and at home who depend on the Garda for reassurance. When things get fraught like this people - and...
