Seanad: Development of Rugby: Motion. (29 Jan 2003)

Ulick Burke: —and Ciaran Fitzgerald, who captained Ireland. They all came up through the ranks and represented Connacht. If this IRFU proposal goes through, it will end the aspirations of many young people now involved at youth and school level who want, first and foremost, to represent their province and later their country. That parallels the aspiration of people who play Gaelic football or hurling to...

Seanad: Adjournment Matters. - Job Losses. (29 Jan 2003)

Ulick Burke: I welcome the Minister of State. Few towns have suffered so badly in recent employment history as Ballinasloe. It is regrettable that as far back as two and a half years ago the Tánaiste established a task force representative of all the agencies and said Ballinasloe would become an industrial development priority for the future. Two and a half years on, no commitment from any Government...

Seanad: Order of Business. (19 Dec 2002)

Ulick Burke: I endorse the requests of Senators O'Toole and Kitt regarding the denial to 906 students of their junior certificates. Will the Leader impress upon the Minister the fact that, for many of the students concerned, this would be the only certification available to them? They are now officially classed as failures among their peer group. Will the Leader ask the Minister to forward the...

Seanad: Immigration Bill, 2002: Committee Stage (Resumed). (19 Dec 2002)

Ulick Burke: Perhaps I could beg the indulgence of the Leas-Chathaoirleach on this question to the Minister of State. It is entirely inappropriate for the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform to discriminate against legitimate students wishing to enter the country by denying them visa access. They come here through a proper internationally recognised agency and have free access to Dublin...
