Regina Doherty: It was an honour to unveil the piece of beautiful art and to accept on it on behalf of all here this morning.

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 Mar 2021)

Regina Doherty: A wide variety of topics was raised by colleagues. I accept the amendment to the Order of Business; to take No. 7 before No. 1.

I have no doubt that in the minds of the people who live in Cork, and also of the rest of us because of the...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (5 Mar 2021)

Regina Doherty: I add my condolences to Senator McGahon's very timely tribute. It is very sad to hear of the passing of Eoin. We extend our condolences to his wife and children. I could not agree more with Senator Lombard that there is absolutely no need for a public protest to take place in Cork. I note the irony of the call on the Minister by the Irish Council for Civil Liberties yesterday to look for...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (5 Mar 2021)

Regina Doherty: We are all well aware of the reasons behind the extension this week and it has nothing to do with Northern Ireland. That means it is even more disingenuous to see the response from some of our politicians from Northern Ireland.

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (26 Feb 2021)

Regina Doherty: A number of colleagues raised the same issues, so if I respond to one Member, I ask Members to assume that I am responding to all who raised the same issues. Senator McGahon raised the issue of urban regeneration funding.
