Mick Barry: ..., this is happening by stealth and some of the results are shocking.

Matt Shanahan: ...for Ireland to continue to adopt until we will see how this plays out. I will go back to the issue of the opportunities for exporters to Canada. As I said, it seems that we are not really tapping the market, although it is great to see that exports have climbed quite dramatically over the last decade.

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (15 Nov 2023)

Sharon Keogan: ...issue is mind-boggling. It apparently made zero connection between unlimited inward immigration and eventually having nowhere to put people, which saw it then trying frantically to turn off the tap. Everyone else made this connection; just not the Government. I would love for any Minister to tell us how that happened. I know we will not get an apology and we will never get ownership,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Future Licences and Contracts to Connect Data Centres to the Gas Network: Discussion (15 Nov 2023)

.... It might take two or three years to come in but that would be more automatic.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (14 Nov 2023)

Paul Murphy: ...people in Limerick, however, it might as well be the Dark Ages because they have no clean drinking water in their homes. For over five months, they have been told that the water coming from their taps is not safe to drink because of the pollution of our rivers and the underfunding of our treatment plants.

You do not want somebody taking...

Pearse Doherty: ...is what Robert Watt and Bernard Gloster have said. What is driving this is need and inflation. We can point out what is being provided but if you do that then you have to close the doors, turn off the tap and say we can do no more. Patients will suffer and people will die if timely and appropriate healthcare are not provided in a reasonable time. I will leave it at that.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Mapping Diversity, Negotiating Differences: Constitutional Discussions on a Shared Island: Discussion (9 Nov 2023)

...in the post-Brexit moment when the discussion about the future seemed to grow legs and become heightened. It seemed there were voices and viewpoints that were crowded out and once we began to tap into this there was a feeling on the part of people that should this discussion go ahead and should there be a process of discussion, that it needs to proceed with caution.
