Mortgage Interest Relief Scheme: Motion [Private Members] (8 Feb 2023)

Mattie McGrath: ...our people. These are the working people who had the vision and courage to take out mortgages and to house themselves. They did not run or look to the State for housing.

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 Feb 2023)

Ollie Crowe: ....These crimes are some of the most sickening and vile anyone can carry out. They have an enormous impact in the context of victims' lives. The victim to whom I refer is a young lady who had her adulthood destroyed. It is entirely unacceptable that the sick criminals who carry out these acts will most likely serve five or six years in jail before being released. We need a serious debate...

Réada Cronin: ...they have created. I have grave concerns, as do many of my colleagues, that some eejit of a young fella, riled up by the hard men with their incendiary talk of rape and burning people out of their homes, will destroy the lives of other people as well as his own. Our young, impressionable people, no matter how old they are or how tough they think they are, need protection from these...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: General Scheme of the Marine Protected Areas Bill 2023: Discussion (Resumed) (2 Feb 2023)

.... If we want any enforcement of that, we find the NPWS has no ability do so. There was an incident in County Mayo not long ago where a dredger went into a special area of conservation, SAC, and destroyed the feature for which the SAC was designated. The NPWS had no power to do anything about it. Nothing happened. There is no restoration plan or sanction for the person who did it....

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: .... With that in mind, in a moment I will ask Members to stand for a minute's silence, a pause for peace, if you like, to show solidarity with those innocent persons whose lives have been damaged or destroyed by war, and to support the cause of worldwide peace. Before we stand, I understand the Taoiseach wishes to say a few words.

Council Development Levies: Motion [Private Members] (1 Feb 2023)

Pádraig Mac Lochlainn: ...Fáil and Fine Gael Governments over many years. The intention was basically to divide and conquer citizens and to take away the empathy and solidarity for those families whose lives had been destroyed.

Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: Motion [Private Members]: Middle East (31 Jan 2023)

John Brady: ...the ground, but this has not just come about since the start of the year. It has been a systematic approach by successive Israeli Governments to displace Palestinians from their land, demolish and destroy their homes and disperse them into fragments of their land. We need to beyond the rhetoric of concern. We need definitive action from the international community, the EU and, in this...

Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: Motion [Private Members] (31 Jan 2023)

Dessie Ellis: .... The consequences of the failure to provide care to over 100 children and the failure to follow up on care for another 140 do not bear thinking about. These failures have the real possibility of destroying lives and creating obstacles to the future potential of these children, as well as negatively impacting on their employment prospects. These vulnerable children have become even more...

Brian Leddin: .... I spoke about the sabre-rattling of Putin and his regime. I just could not foresee a situation where the tanks would roll across the border and the missiles would fly through the air and start destroying Ukrainian cities and killing innocent civilians.

Peadar Tóibín: ...real investment into these issues. The asylum application process also needs to be speeded up. It should not take more than six months.

Richard Boyd Barrett: ...as a commercial outfit doing forestry in a way that is damaging biodiversity and instead starts to operate for the common and environmental good. The truth is that the Irish forestry model is destroying biodiversity. That is the actuality of the situation. That will be exacerbated by the Gresham House deal or any other such similar deals. I ask the Taoiseach to reconsider the...
