Seanad: Transport and Sport: Statements (20 Nov 2019)

Kieran O'Donnell: ...look at the need for regional balance to take the pressure off Dublin and redirect traffic to areas from where there is access to, say, Shannon Airport. To follow up on the point made by Senator Buttimer about transportation, it is critical that there be proper transportation models in cities. There is one under preparation for the Limerick-Shannon link. It is the first time this has...

Seanad: Order of Business (20 Dec 2018)

Kieran O'Donnell: ...that point a year ago and was laughed at. It is the only common-sense solution to this. We do not need Britain to leave the EU. I hope common sense prevails. I wish the Leader well. It has been an eventful year for Senator Buttimer. We need, as a Chamber, to set aside a day or two for a specific debate on climate change. We should bring in our own witnesses, Ministers included,...

Seanad: Order of Business (20 Jul 2017)

Kieran O'Donnell: I commend the Cathaoirleach and staff on how well the Seanad is run. I also commend the Leader, Senator Buttimer.

We all agree that a significant proportion of Garda time in our areas involves dealing with anti-social behaviour in estates and other locations. It is not...

Seanad: Order of Business (4 Jul 2017)

Kieran O'Donnell: I thought Senator Coghlan was Killarney's answer to Bord Fáilte. I extend my congratulations to our Leader, Senator Buttimer, on his engagement and wish him well.

Seanad: Order of Business (15 Jun 2016)

Kieran O'Donnell: I congratulate the Cathaoirleach and the Leader of the House, Senator Buttimer, on his appointment. Reference was made to Seanad reform. I think Senator Ó Céidigh spoke about how this Chamber is very diverse in terms of Members' array of talents. Seanad reform is key but the items the House deals with are more fundamental than that. This week is national carers' week. Senator...

Report of the Expert Group on the Judgment in the A, B and C v. Ireland Case: Statements (Resumed) (7 Dec 2012)

This is vital. People have come a long way and there is broad agreement on...

Programme for Government: Motion (15 Mar 2011)

Kieran O'Donnell: I wish to share my time with Deputies Buttimer and Donohoe. I rise to endorse and support the programme for Government. In the limited time I have, I will discuss three main areas. If we do not deal with the banking crisis, we cannot move forward as an economy. I remember when the bank guarantee scheme was introduced by the then Government in September 2008. It was introduced on the...
