Seanad: Order of Business (16 Oct 2012)

Ned O'Sullivan: I am making an important point. I will not let you down, a Chathaoirligh. The Government is also threatening to abolish the Seanad. What does the Government have against the people that it wants to take away their voice? I served in local government at county and town level for 22 years. Unless one has been a town councillor one does not know the importance of such a role and function,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Socioeconomic Context: Dr. Caitriona Henchion and Mr. Niall Behan, Irish Family Planning Association (15 Nov 2017)

Ned O'Sullivan: ...I find useful. When a woman presents to Dr. Henchion with the intention of having an abortion, is that a matter between the Irish Family Planning Association, IFPA, and the woman in question or does she encourage or seek the engagement and-or involvement of the father of the unborn child in the first instance? Does she seek his counsel or advice? Does he have a role in this decision or...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Engagement with Ireland's Future (1 Jun 2021)

Ned O'Sullivan: ...position? It seems to have been a little rushed if the group was originally just a neutral forum. Suddenly, it is not a neutral forum but a lobby group for a united Ireland and a border poll. Does Ireland's Future have credibility at this stage to put itself forward as a vehicle to encourage unionist, loyalist and other points of view through its auspices? I respect the answer Mr....

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (25 Oct 2022)

Ned O'Sullivan: The Deputy Leader does not need me to extol the praises of greenways, coming, as she does, from Mayo where they were ahead of the posse. I welcome the new north Kerry greenway, which will be opened by the Minister of State, Deputy Naughton, on Friday. It is something we in north Kerry are particularly pleased with. I want to acknowledge that and pay tribute to the many people who made this...

Seanad: State Airports (Shannon Group) Bill 2014: Committee Stage (27 May 2014)

Ned O'Sullivan: We are opposing this section on the grounds that it is unfair, in the main, to the future of Cork Airport. It does not in any way answer the major uncertainty hanging over the future of the Cork facility. As it is so vague, it has added to the anxieties that the business community and the people of the south west have about the future of their airport. It seems as if continuing to have the...

Seanad: An Bille um an Dara Leasú is Tríocha ar an mBunreacht (Deireadh a Chur le Seanad Éireann) 2013: Céim an Choiste - Thirty-second Amendment of the Constitution (Abolition of Seanad Éireann) Bill 2013: Committee Stage (10 Jul 2013)

Ned O'Sullivan: While the Taoiseach often does what is right, his judgment on this matter is off as everybody in this House and in Government, including Cabinet Ministers, knows.
