Immigration: Motion [Private Members] (6 Dec 2023)

Holly Cairns: This motion is a disgrace. It involves point after point of dog whistles. I do not believe that the Rural Independent Group does not know exactly what it is doing here. They all know well that they are pandering to the far right, stoking up divisions and spreading fear and complete misinformation. In doing so, they are putting a target on the backs of migrants and asylum seekers for the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Planning for Inclusive Communities: Discussion (6 Dec 2023)

Mr. David Doyle: It is like the tail wagging the dog when the disability authorities come to our organisations asking whether we can build a house first, or do three houses every year for the next three years, on the basis that the money will be got for us through the CAS. The agencies are willing. We will do the work but someone needs to take the lead. That is why I referred to one...

Renters: Motion [Private Members] (5 Dec 2023)

Sorca Clarke: ...are going to solve it. As I stand here today, there are 43 properties to rent in the two counties that make up my constituency. That is all. One three-bedroom property will set you back €2,800 a month. The dogs in the street see what is happening. The Minister claims he can see it too but, instead of listening to concerns from various different sources, he is blindly following...

Confidence in the Minister for Justice: Motion (5 Dec 2023) See 1 other result from this debate

Micheál Martin: ...to raise any issue she wants. If she thinks something dangerous is imminent, she can stand here and demand action with the certainty it will receive widespread coverage. Yet in spite of her claim the dogs in the street knew a riot was about to happen, the Dáil record shows that in the past three months, during Leaders' Questions, she never once raised the violence she now says was...

Estimates for Public Services 2023: Programme for Government (5 Dec 2023)

Peadar Tóibín: .... One related to puppy farms and the second to the stealing of pets from families. The reason we did so is because the entire animal welfare space in this country is in a bad place; so much so, that dog charities are currently at breaking point. The responsibility for animal welfare is split between four different Departments currently and puppy farms are churning out 30,000 puppies on...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (5 Dec 2023) See 1 other result from this debate

Martin Conway: I was concerned yesterday to hear that a survey from Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind seems to show an increase in guide dog users being refused entrance to pubs, restaurants and, which is even more concerning, medical facilities. It is the law that somebody who uses a guide dog must have access to all public and private buildings. Unfortunately, that seems to be an issue. I ask the Leader...

Written Answers — Department of Finance: Tax Code (5 Dec 2023)

Michael McGrath: ...been able to apply such a zero-rate to the supply of oral medicines for farm animals. This measure has always excluded medicines which are packaged, sold or otherwise designated for the use of dogs, cats, cage birds or domestic pets which remains liable at the standard rate. With the aforementioned Annex III amendments, which now allow for a zero-rate for animal medicines, we have...

Planning and Development Bill 2023: Second Stage (30 Nov 2023) See 1 other result from this debate

Richard Boyd Barrett: ...the output of housing is because of speculation, land banking, etc. IGEES speculates that the property people are speculating and that the evidence would suggest that may well be the case. To be honest, the dogs in the street know that is true. We can all see examples of it in our own areas where they have the planning permission, they have the SDZ and the whole bleedin' lot but it...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Climate Action Plan Review: Discussion (Resumed) (30 Nov 2023)

Richard Bruton: ...pretty withering in saying some of the things the Minister has already touched on. We really need the spatial planning guidelines and the guidelines on onshore wind. I know planning delays have dogged many of our ambitions. There is also the regulatory treatment of battery storage. Those are things we should be able to move along. Quite surprisingly, the CCAC talked about how other...

Horse and Greyhound Racing Fund Regulations 2023: Motion (29 Nov 2023) See 7 other results from this debate

Michael Collins: .... I welcome this motion. It is high time people who object go to see the industry for themselves in Church Cross, for example. I rang up one day and turned up in the yard within five minutes to see how dogs are treated with the most humane, loving and caring treatment on a farm in Church Cross. People should wake up, go down to see that and stop criticising and pointing fingers. It...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (29 Nov 2023) See 1 other result from this debate

Mick Barry: ...an important point. It is significant that while the Government is talking about putting on the agenda facial recognition technology, water cannon, stronger pepper spray, more riot police and more dogs - in other words more State repression - it is failing to deal with the social crisis in society. It is failing to deal with the issue of asylum seekers that I have raised and is failing...

Paul Daly: ...these sports get through this funding, as opposed to other sporting bodies or sectors. I compliment the Minister and welcome the advancements and improvements that have been made in horse and dog welfare in recent years. As a small racetrack, Kilbeggan Racecourse received mandatory instruction on the developments and improvements we had to make to meet the demands of horse and animal...

Seanad: Recent Violence in Dublin City Centre: Motion (29 Nov 2023) See 1 other result from this debate

Marie Sherlock: ...here want to be proud of our city. It is our capital city, yet when I talk to people on their doorsteps and on the streets in our communities there is an overwhelming sense that Dublin has gone to the dogs, the city centre has gone to the dogs and there is no respect or pride in our main street, O’Connell Street. There is a feeling of being unsafe. People are afraid to walk...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Governance Issues: Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board (Resumed) (29 Nov 2023)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Policing Matters: Discussion (Resumed) (29 Nov 2023)

...the number of trained and equipped public order gardaí had grown to 250. This was ten-fold our original deployment and our largest ever public order deployment. They, together with 150 of their colleagues, supported by the dog unit, the mounted unit and air support unit, started to address the riotous groups in front of them. While the intense violence was shocking and...

Heather Humphreys: ...coming through Templemore is bigger than the last one. We want to see more gardaí on our streets. Crime in our society is changing. Whether through the use of bodycams, facial recognition technology, dog units or water cannons, this Government will act and give the Garda the tools it needs to do its job and keep our streets safe. Let us be clear tonight: where force is needed,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Local and European Elections 2024 and Subsequent General Election: Discussion (28 Nov 2023)

Steven Matthews: There is the obvious messaging that is very easy for people to pick up on and there is the more nuanced messaging or the dog whistle, as it is referred to, because it is only audible for certain people or certain cohorts. We need to follow up on that and chase that down because that might not be apparent. Some of those messages are not very clear as to the direction they are going but they...
