- Seanad: Order of Business. (22 Feb 2006)
John Dardis: I have no problem with the revision of history, but this person was being used by Nazis. Senators Ryan, Finucane, Ormonde, Hanafin and others referred to road safety. I know that Senator Ryan has repeatedly raised some issues relating to trucks. Anyone who travels on dual carriageways in rainy weather is quite frightened by the speed of large trucks. There was a serious accident on the Naas...

John Dardis: We should be pleased that they are paid well for working in good conditions. There are difficulties in manufacturing and agriculture, but they are the only two sectors in which the numbers of employees have decreased. There were record levels of job creation in 2005. Senator Quinn mentioned high added value, which is central to this debate. We have to change. There will be more job losses if...
- Seanad: Order of Business. (22 Feb 2006)
John Dardis: I strongly support what Senators Mansergh, Mooney and John Paul Phelan have said about the manner in which a very committed and active Green Party councillor was targeted. It is regrettable that something like this happened. The House is supporting her efforts to resist the type of people who conduct themselves in this manner. Senator Ulick Burke referred to rent increases. This evening...

John Dardis: It is a gross untruth to suggest that the Tánaiste, any member of the Government or any Member on either side of this House does not want to do the very best for the elderly and to ensure their needs are met. It is worth recording that the genesis of the Bill regarding nursing home charges came after successive Administrations ignored the explicit advice they received on this matter. It was...

- Seanad: Social Partnership: Statements. (7 Feb 2006)
John Dardis: I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Killeen, to the House and I welcome the fact that the Leader of the House has organised time for these statements, which I believe are important. The argument, made both here and elsewhere, that the social partnership agreements diminish the powers of the Oireachtas and thus contain a certain undemocratic aspect have been dealt with effectively by...
