Toll Charge Increases: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (29 Nov 2022)

Mattie McGrath: ...we decommissioned the NRA. I said for years we decommissioned the IRA and could not stand down the NRA. Its representatives are impossible and arrogance oozes out of them. I meet TII representatives if I can meet them. You would meet the Pope a lot more easily. I have met the Pope three times. The disdain you get from them. They put up signs outside Showerings, or Bulmers, in...

Joe O'Reilly: I welcome the young people from Pope John Paul II School in Malahide. I welcome their participation in our democratic system.

Creeslough, County Donegal: Statements (8 Nov 2022)

Eamon Ryan: ...'s Church. Fr. Seamus Murphy stood in as substitute for Fr. John Joe Duffy who, not surprisingly, had Covid because in the previous weeks he had so much contact, literally in touch in every way. Pope Francis described the role of the priest as like someone in a field hospital. Fr. Duffy helped people of the community through a very difficult time. Through Fr. Duffy, I was lucky to...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (15 Sep 2022)

Rónán Mullen: ...honest. We need the kind of courage that can withstand the subtle corruption of the cynics so that we can show the world that we are not afraid of the future. That quotation did not come from Pope Francis or Jordan Peterson or any of the other great philosophers of our time. It came from Queen Elizabeth II’s Christmas message in 1957. It struck me how remarkably fresh those...

Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund: Motion (12 Jul 2022)

Michael Collins: ...at sea by coastguard vessels supported by EU surveillance and forcibly returned to Libya, a failed state. They are often locked up in detention centres that have been compared to concentration camps by Pope Francis among others. Politicians and officials who hold the levers of power know what is happening. They know it is horrific but are unwilling to act. I have spoken before about...

Jennifer Murnane O'Connor: ...as urgent. Last week, she came to me saying she was so disappointed because this passport was urgent as this family was picked from the Kildare and Leighlin diocese for an audience with the Pope during the World Meeting of Families 2022. This is a family that is representing Ireland. I did everything on Friday to get the passport. I contacted the Taoiseach's office and the office of...

Regina Doherty: The ambassador is very welcome. I thank him for being with us to celebrate Croatia's day of independence. The young people in the Gallery are pupils and teachers from Pope John Paul II National School in Malahide. They are very welcome. It is lovely to see young faces all around Leinster House these days. The Order of Business is No. 1, motion regarding the extension of period of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Architects of the Good Friday Agreement: Mr. Tim O'Connor (26 May 2022)

...;George, we need you back”. He came back in early September 1999. He spent about two and a half months working there, but this was different. When he was chair of the talks, he had a big team around him, including Martha Pope and a whole bunch of people and staffers who were working with him. He came this time on his own. A number of officials of the Irish and British...

Finance (Covid-19 and Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2022: From the Seanad (25 May 2022)

Pearse Doherty: .... As we see real-time prices in May, the price is obviously increasing again. It is clear that Dublin hotels have bounced back from the pandemic, with prices bouncing back even higher, as has been described by Conor Pope in The Irish Times. High hotel room prices have a serious impact on domestic tourists, those who need to come to the city for hospital appointments and others. It also...

National Maternity Hospital: Statements (12 May 2022)

Paul McAuliffe: ...in the national maternity hospital. If there are Members who believe there are ways for the landlord to do that and that therefore freehold is important, I ask them to plot that out. How do the Pope, the cardinals or the heads of the religious order practically limit the services? I invite them to show me the conditions in the lease that allow them to do that. They are not there and,...

Emer Currie: ...is a much-loved amenity and natural asset. It is not just for the people of Dublin 15 and west Dublin, whom I work for, but for the whole country. People came to the park for the visit of the Pope in 1979, which was my first visit. They come to visit Jinpa, the red panda, in Dublin Zoo. They come to play GAA or cricket, which is the fastest growing sport in west Dublin. They use it...

Seanad: Situation in Ukraine: Statements (1 Mar 2022)

Vincent P Martin: .... The EU should not face paralysis by always having to act together. One country can go ahead and still be in unison. Poland did not wait for FIFA or UEFA to say it would not play that team. Pope Francis and the Holy See took an amazing position by expressing concern over the war in Ukraine. It was an extraordinary papal gesture that has no recent precedent. I am sure the...

Report of the Commission on the Defence Forces: Statements (16 Feb 2022) See 1 other result from this debate

Mattie McGrath: ...or proper food parcels. It is despicable the way they are treated. They are treated like fourth- or fifth-class citizens. We saw that when President Trump and different people came, such as when his Holiness the Pope came to Ireland. It is shocking we would treat the defenders of our nation, flag and sovereignty like that. The disrespect we have for Army personnel is shocking and must...

Dignity and Equality Issues in the Defence Forces: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (8 Feb 2022)

Gary Gannon: ...families and find it difficult to pay their rent. Some of them are putting off having families because they cannot afford to do so. They talk about the conditions. I remember that a couple of years ago, when the Pope visited, armed personnel were asked to sleep on the ground. Then we go further into this and find that not only do the conditions they speak of exist but the conditions of...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (27 Jan 2022)

Rónán Mullen: ..., including the hashtag of the repeal campaign at the time of the referendum.Let us suppose there was a pattern of tweets showing a preferred view on abortion, maybe disagreeing with the intervention of Pope Francis on the subject, agreeing with former President McAleese's criticism of the Catholic Church on the subject or joining in an online conversation criticising illegal "No" campaign...

Cost of Living: Motion [Private Members] (26 Jan 2022)

Gerald Nash: ...up 6.4% in a year. Rents were up 8.3% on an annual basis in the last quarter of 2021, according to the Residential Tenancies Board. Motorists are having to spend on average an additional €500 per year to keep their car on the road. On energy costs, the Central Statistics Office, CSO, says consumers were paying 53% more in December 2021 than they were at the same point in the year...

Seanad: Forestry Licensing: Statements (11 Nov 2021)

Róisín Garvey: ...bosom snow has lain; Who intimately lives with rain. Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree. That is by the great poet Joyce Kilmer. It brought to mind interesting lines from the Pope. I met the Bishop of Ferns last week. We were talking about the fact that even the Pope is now asking bishops to tell their priests to give sermons on the importance of taking...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (29 Sep 2021)

Rónán Mullen: ...about a willingness to be open to the perspectives, stories, memories and pains of the stranger. All I am saying is that I am confused. It would take a wise man to figure all of this out or, as Pope Francis would term it, a saggio. The idea of a saggiois reflected in the Irish language in the word "saoi".We know nach mbíonn saoi gan locht. It will be interesting to see if the...
