Seanad: Public Health (Alcohol) Bill 2015: Committee Stage (Resumed) (8 Nov 2017)

Simon Harris: ...'s view on this than others. I do not want too much collegiality and consensus breaking out here. I do not see the difficulty. I do not buy into the idea that the tourist experience would be destroyed by a premises that is advertising having to put in some factual warnings about alcohol. Quite a good bit of domestic tourism goes on. People might want to take their families out for the...

Seanad: Order of Business (27 Jan 2015)

James Heffernan: ...involved have no place in modern, civilised Ireland. They are animals. They are callous, murdering, sadistic animals who need to be put out of business. As Senator Mary Moran said, they are destroying people's lives. When I met the Donohoe family, it struck me that their lives had been destroyed, but it is not only their lives which have been destroyed. Adrian Donohoe was the coach of...

Energy Charter Treaty: Statements (9 Nov 2023)

Joan Collins: ...and profits. Most of that growth and those profits go to an increasingly small elite of billionaires at the top of society. Why are we not stopping to think? Why do we allow the economic system, which is destroying our planet, which caused the 2008 banking collapse and enforced austerity on all of us and which daily immiserates billions in the global south and fails to even produce a...

Flood Relief: Statements. (24 Nov 2009)

Simon Coveney: Does the Government plan to put a fund aside for infrastructure that has been destroyed as a result of increased water flow? I know, for example, that at least two bridges in County Cork have been entirely destroyed. Will the local authority have to find the funding to pay for those or will national funding be provided? In light of the volume of rainfall we had recently, will the...

Committee on Health and Children: Select Sub-Committee on Health: Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill 2013: Committee Stage (Resumed) (3 Jul 2013)

James Reilly: This area is fraught and I understand what people have said and I accept their concerns. It is, as people have pointed out, the only place where we actually refer to intentionally destroying unborn human life. That phrase is not used anywhere else in this Bill. The issue of avoidance of doubt was to not have any chilling effect from the point of view of doctors, which Deputy Boyd Barrett...

Seanad: Ban on Dumping New Products Bill 2022: Second Stage (5 Jul 2023)

Fintan Warfield: ...daily activities. This is truly shocking in 2023, when Ireland is considered one of the wealthiest countries in the world. Yet, every year, millions of items of clothing are unsold, disregarded or destroyed. This is as well as the waste associated with mining raw materials and the energy and labour that go into manufacturing the clothes, only for them to go in the bin without delivering...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Eradication of Bovine Tuberculosis: Discussion (Resumed) (16 Nov 2022)

Michael Ring: ...culls. If but one animal is reacting, the whole herd must be taken away. To me, it never made sense. The whole herd should have been tested but there was no need to take them all away and destroy them. Despite what occurs, the authorities will not destroy the badger or deer. They will not destroy what is causing a problem. This will cost about €1 billion between now and 2030....

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (17 Apr 2024)

Gerard Craughwell: ...Forces having been commissioned into the State. It is absolutely diabolical, however, that within ten years most of them will have left the Defence Forces because of the 2013 pension, which has destroyed public service. The 2013 pension was brought in by civil servants who had well-heeled pensions themselves and were well looked after by the State. They destroyed public service in this...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Cabinet Committee Meetings (19 Nov 2013)

Joe Higgins: ...to the cesspool of the markets or relying on the neoliberals of the EU and ECB is not the way forward for the economy and the people and it is a question of repudiating this massive debt that is destroying the economy and provoking the horrific austerity the Government is imposing, which will continue for years to come to destroy the livelihoods of our people and the future of young...

Flood Relief. (31 Mar 2010)

Michael Ring: ...are now waiting for clearance from the National Parks and Wildlife Service. I want the Minister of State to understand this. There is a family in that area whose house has been flooded. The water destroyed their home, and it nearly happened again in November and December last when there were serious floods in this country. People in the cities may not realise, even though they...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Humanitarian Assistance for Household Flooding: Discussion (13 Jan 2016)

Marie Moloney: ...Moreover, the information leaflet issued by the Department before Christmas containing contact numbers was helpful. I sympathise with those affected by this flooding. It is disastrous and soul destroying for a person when his or her house is destroyed. In fairness, communities, neighbours and businesses have rowed in to help, and everyone thinks there is a great sense of community in...

Fergal Browne: ...Bill. Over Easter, a group of Travellers or commercial traders arrived in Carlow town and caused chaos. We are now entering that season again. People were locked into pubs in Carlow, taxis were destroyed and Garda vehicles were set upon and destroyed. The Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform should come into the House to outline what steps he can take because this is a disgrace. I...

Annie Hoey: ...committed in or outside the State with the intent of seriously intimidating a population, unduly compelling a Government or international organisation to perform or abstain from performing any act, or seriously destabilising or destroying the fundamental political, economic or social structures of a state or an international organisation. As I said, that is directly from our Irish...

Seanad: Order of Business (25 Oct 2017)

Pádraig Mac Lochlainn: ...two months ago. The Cockhill Celtic Football Club, which is a very senior football and community organisation in my part of the world, was devastated by the floods. Two of its pitches were destroyed along with all kinds of amenities and the damage to the tune of hundreds of thousands of euro was done. Even though the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport and the Chief Whip were on...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Quantitative Easing: Discussion (8 Jul 2015)

...One has the demographic effect in addition to the other effects of the sectoral stagnation. Ireland is a great example and laboratory of that. We have in addition to it the wealth effect. By destroying vast amounts of paper wealth, imaginary wealth we used to hold in our homes, we destroyed the security of the entire generation in terms of their pensions. As a result of that, what...

Select Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade: EU Framework Agreement: Motion (16 Dec 2015)

Olivia Mitchell: ...of society saying that these are unfair to undeveloped countries that lack our sophistication in negotiations and that large countries, such as the EU and the United States, flood markets and destroy indigenous sectors. There is a good economic answer to such assertions, that they should not be doing that and they should maybe play to their strengths, but it does take a big toll in terms...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Tendering of the Social Inclusion and Community Activation Programme: Discussion (28 Jan 2015)

Pádraig Mac Lochlainn: ...involved directly elected people from the community and a bottom-up approach. The model across Ireland is something we have been very proud of and it was held up as a template but it is now being destroyed using the very people who held it up as a template. It is the words of the witnesses, who are on the front line, that the work they have done could potentially be destroyed. That is...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (18 Feb 2021)

Michael Collins: ...sewage is entering some properties on the New Road area in Bandon in recent weeks, especially over the past weekend. I have spoken to residents who are to say the least angry to have their homes destroyed by sewage. It looks like pipes laid are the wrong size and urgent works are required to remedy this mess. There is likely that the untreated raw sewage will also enter the Bridewell...
