Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (21 Oct 2021)

Regina Doherty: In response to the issue Senator Daly describes, it is probably far greater than that. I know people of a certain age look at the numbers coming up on their phone and they think, "not again" and just ignore it. However, I also know from experience that as we get older – we all have parents and older people that we represent – people worry an awful lot more about things that...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (21 Oct 2021)

Regina Doherty: Maybe the Senator is right. After the recess, I will see how we can have a debate on how best we can formulate a policy or programme in schools and homes to support families and children in order to ensure that tragedies such as that involving Eden do not happen again. I thank Senator Keogan for raising the matter.

The mass arranged by the Ceann Comhairle for the late Sir David Amess following his tragic death is tomorrow, Thursday, 21 October at 12.45 p.m. at St. Teresa's Church on Clarendon Street. I am sure people will want to pay their respects. Senator McGahon spoke this morning about the need for an online safety commission and regulator of all our online...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (20 Oct 2021)

Regina Doherty: I thank Senator Boyhan. I do not know how I missed it. There is a request in because Senator Boyhan wanted to table amendments to legislation a number of weeks ago. I have written to the Minister but he has not come back to me. I will ring the office again today. We keep coming back to the same mantra again that things are important and yet they slip and slip. We certainly do need to...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (14 Oct 2021)

Regina Doherty: It is funny that the Cathaoirleach is congratulating a woman on being able to drive a tractor because the vast majority of women on farms in rural Ireland know well how to drive tractors. They drive them on a weekly or daily basis. Senator Dolan, along with Senator Tim Lombard and the Minister of State, Senator Hackett, mentioned that International Day of Rural Women will be celebrated this...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (14 Oct 2021)

Regina Doherty: This message and this issue are not going to go away until the leaders of our 19 maternity hospitals, the CEOs of our hospital groups and the heads of midwifery stand up and say, "Enough is enough: this is wrong." To that end, I will arrange a meeting for the female caucus members again to meet with the 19 heads of midwifery of our 19 hospitals to see what they have to say about the...

Seanad: Peat Harvesting: Statements (13 Oct 2021)

Regina Doherty: I thank the Minister of State for being present today for what is an important debate. There is near unanimity in the Chamber. More importantly, at the outset, the Minister of State said he supports an exemption for peat extraction from the planning process because I know he gets just how important this is to the horticultural sector, including fruit and vegetable farmers, mushroom growers...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (12 Oct 2021)

Regina Doherty: I add my condolences to that. Many of us of a certain age had the Sunday ritual that after Mass, we came home and the old record player was put on. Certain LPs were played and the Chieftains was one of the big ones in our house along with the Dubliners. Sometimes when these things happen so suddenly it is hard to even take it in but he will be sadly missed by every household in Ireland....

Seanad: Gnó an tSeanaid - Business of Seanad (7 Oct 2021)

Regina Doherty: I concur with the Cathaoirleach. When I heard the news about Mr. Burke's passing yesterday, it was like someone in my extended family had passed away. That is how sad I felt. When I first became a Member of the Oireachtas in 2011, it would not have been possible to meet a nicer person. Mr. Burke was engaging, warm and friendly. What is so sad about his passing yesterday is that it...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (7 Oct 2021)

Regina Doherty: I thank my colleagues. James Cawley is a person I know well. It is a long time since I have seen him so I want to send him our best regards. I acknowledge the asks. If there was ever an organisation that amplifies the "nothing about us without us" ethos, it is certainly something for Mr. Cawley's organisation to be credited with. I know Senator Carrigy raised the cost of fuel and VAT...
