Healthcare Provision in Rural Communities: Motion [Private Members] (21 Feb 2024)

Mattie McGrath: ...the country. Everywhere you go, in every town and village, there is a huge explosion in population and no services for them - GPs, hospitals, dentists, schools, etc. It puts more pressure on. The Government has a will to destroy the public services we have out there for the public and to deny our people public services they are entitled to, such as basic fundamental healthcare. These...

Seanad: Situation in Palestine: Motion (21 Feb 2024) See 3 other results from this debate

Frances Black: ...due to bombardment, invasion by Israeli soldiers and a lack of fuel. Bodies are piling up that cannot be buried. People are having to endure surgical procedures without anaesthetic. Israel has destroyed every university in Gaza. It is important to highlight all of these horrific issues. Leading academics, artists and journalists are being murdered at an even higher rate than other...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Compliance with the Nitrates Directive and Implications for Ireland: Discussion (Resumed) (21 Feb 2024)

...must be remembered in this. This is their way of life and if they choose to diversify, they should be given as many options as possible. No farmer goes out saying it is his or her intention to destroy the environment tomorrow. No farmer does that. I am from a dairy farming background and that did not happen. By the same token, from that dairy background my father told us to stay away...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Safeguarding: Safeguarding Ireland (21 Feb 2024)

Erin McGreehan: It is soul-destroying, as I am sure the witnesses will agree. Hopefully, they did not think I was suggesting that Safeguarding Ireland was the HSE or was established by the HSE. The HSE and HIQA are potentially breaking the law here, and we are all sitting with it. I find that very depressing and concerning given that we have legislation, although we need more legislation and I am one of...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (21 Feb 2024)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...context is totally lost, although it might be quaint in itself. It is still very valuable historically, obviously. The same can be said of structures here. Thankfully, not all of them have been destroyed. I remember campaigning many moons ago to save Frescati House, Blackrock. Next to it was a supermarket or shopping mall that bore absolutely no relation to it. The house was...

James Browne: ...in Ukraine so that justice is served to the victims of this conflict and families that were torn apart can be reunited once more. As Putin prosecutes his war of choice, with indiscriminate bombing destroying civilian infrastructure across Ukraine, the need to support early recovery and longer term reconstruction efforts is clear. Although the ongoing destruction of Ukraine by Russia...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Animal Breeding (20 Feb 2024)

Annie Hoey: ...have seen the cruelty and neglect on puppy farms. Dogs Trust has said: "Many mums are so distressed and down shut down when they enter our care that they don't bark or make a sound". It is soul destroying. It is very positive there is a review on this. I am just wondering if there is any idea of the timeline as to how long this might take.

Seanad: Situation in the Middle East: Statements (20 Feb 2024) See 1 other result from this debate

Micheál Martin: ...in Gaza after 7 October. Journalists and other media workers who cover conflicts are courageous. In the face of grave risks to their lives, they bring us the truth, and this must never be targeted. This war has destroyed so much. UNICEF estimates that at least 17,000 children are now unaccompanied or separated from their parents in Gaza. This unspeakable situation has led to a terrible...

Seanad: Situation in the Middle East: Statements (Resumed) (20 Feb 2024)

Fintan Warfield: ...of Gaza, some 2 million people. A total of 28,000 Palestinians have been killed, 68,000 Palestinians have been injured and 210 Israeli soldiers have been killed. In addition, the Israelis have destroyed homes, hospitals, schools and mosques. Israel has deprived people of food, water and electricity. The deaths and injuries and the systematic destruction of Gazan society are not, in the...

Victor Boyhan: ...clearly stated its objective to promote wind energy and associated infrastructure and investment, and to protect that infrastructure and investment. Our Bill seeks to do exactly that. Let us not destroy the capability to provide green energy - a Green Minister of State advocating green energy. I have so far not seen any Green Senators in this House for this important debate. Let us not...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: General Scheme of the Defence (Amendment) Bill 2023: Discussion (20 Feb 2024)

...organisation. In an organisation such as the Defence Forces, morale and esprit de corpsare necessary. I am referring to the values associated with membership of a military organisation. You can destroy the organisation very easily by not taking our members' views into account at an early stage. Many commissions and bodies have examined the Defence Forces over recent years. People are...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Antisocial Behaviour (15 Feb 2024)

Gary Gannon: ...FC and Belvedere Youth Club are all football teams which have done incredible work over the years in providing outlets for young people who might otherwise be at risk. Their pitches have been destroyed. This issue has captured a lot of attention over the past couple of months. It was initially caused by a car driving through Fairview Park. We then had a couple of different motorbikes...

Richard Boyd Barrett: ...that we cannot displace one industry with another. Where there is an industry and where people are making their livelihood and living in a particular area it is prohibited to displace them and destroy their industry and livelihood in order to make way for another industry. That is precisely what they see as coming down the line as the private corporations - they are all private...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Homeless Accommodation (15 Feb 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: ...out of emergency accommodation into long term housing. Consistent increases in the overall homelessness numbers over the past five years despite regular announcements of plans and strategies have destroyed confidence in the ability of the political system to deliver. Those are not my words. Those are the Minister's words in 2018. It is not the case that more than 40% of people in...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Rural Schemes (15 Feb 2024)

Martin Conway: ...Clare, right along the Wild Atlantic Way and the N67 stretch, probably well over 100 roads service some 1,000 individuals, and certainly hundreds of homes. Those roads are in an appalling state and people's cars are being destroyed and damaged on a regular basis. In one scenario brought to my attention recently, a car was written off. People could potentially be hurt when they are out...

Erin McGreehan: ...economies? Will the Department ask shop owners or bistro and cafe owners how the closing of the hotel will impact ancillary businesses? The Four Seasons hotel in Carlingford had to close because it was destroyed during the floods. This had a huge impact in Carlingford given that weddings and events were gone as were the people who just came on holiday and would eat out in the surrounding...

Paul McAuliffe: One would imagine that if somebody was deliberately destroying their passport with the intention of claiming asylum under a new application name or for whatever reason, that is the next step. They will claim asylum. Of the 5,800 who were refused leave to land, how many went on to claim asylum?

Written Answers — Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade: Foreign Conflicts (15 Feb 2024)

Paul Murphy: 155. To ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade if on a visit to the West Bank, he asked to see a village that had been destroyed and ethnically cleansed by settlers; if so, if the IDF refused to allow it; if this is correct, the reason he did not make a public statement in relation to the matter (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (14 Feb 2024)

Lynn Boylan: ...the death of six-year-old Hind Rajab to Hamas. She spoke about the two paramedics who went to rescue a six-year-old child who called for help after she had just witnessed her entire family being destroyed by the IOF. The paramedics who went to rescue her were slaughtered with Hind. Nobody can defend that. We saw the Israeli ambassador on our TV screens trying to link it to Hamas. It...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Compliance with the Nitrates Directive and Implications for Ireland: Discussion (14 Feb 2024)

...not. This is critical from our perspective. We have a hugely innovative modern dairy sector, which is globally recognised and we are in serious danger from a generational renewal point of view of destroying that sector unless we cop ourselves on.
