Marc Ó Cathasaigh: One of the things that have driven me mad for years, particularly at this time of the year, is to walk past apple trees laden down with apples only to find New Zealand apples on the shelves of our supermarkets.

...she ran away from me. She knew she should have purchased the unpackaged oranges, but it was more convenient to just grab the packaged ones. It is very convenient to just grab a bag of onions or apples. We need to make reuse and refill convenient. I have given this a great deal of thought.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Defence Forces (30 Sep 2021)

Mick Barry: Retired company quartermaster sergeant Karina Molloy says "it is absolutely systemic". It is not a case of a few bad apples, but systemic.

...of this. However, what members of the public do understand, because they are using the technology, is the concept of downloading a Ryanair or Aer Lingus boarding pass, and putting it on their Apple, Android, or whatever other phone wallet.

Patrick O'Donovan: ...Cork area would like this to be put on the record of the House.
