Joan Collins: ...year has been a failure. By the Government's own standards it has been failure. How ironic that statements are now coming from hotels that they will have to move out homeless families when the Pope comes over. No room at the inn in our so-called republic. According to the ISPCC, one in three homeless people are children. There has been a 287% rise in child homelessness in the past...

Brendan Howlin: ...the park, corralling and all the other required elements? The event on 26 August involves engagement with civic groups. It is a long event, from noon to 3 p.m., and it will involve a speech by Pope Francis. The Taoiseach has the programme but he does not control it. Will there be formal engagement between the groups and the Pontiff? Will there be an exchange of views or do we have any...

Victor Boyhan: ...the 31 local authorities. Once the second round is unveiled in the coming days, it might be a good time to have the Minister explain the situation in the House. Listening to the commentary about Pope Francis's visit to Ireland, I have been disturbed by a small, but intolerant, group of people who have some difficulty with someone as superior as the Pope, who represents people.I respect...

Seanad: Order of Business (20 Jun 2018)

Catherine Ardagh: ...in Dublin. Some 110 people sleep rough each night. The idea of homeless families having to leave emergency accommodation goes very much against the spirit of Christianity and what the Pope is trying to achieve.

Apology for Persons Convicted of Consensual Same-Sex Sexual Acts: Motion (19 Jun 2018)

Mattie McGrath: ...on this motion. I support the idea of a State apology for past wrongs committed in its name. The State has many things to apologise for. Perhaps the Taoiseach is trying to emulate the late Pope, St. John Paul the Great, who in 2000 made an international plea for forgiveness for the wrongs committed in the name of the church. It seems the State is almost 20 years behind the church on...

Mattie McGrath: ...another case in Dungarvan, two young men's lives were taken at sea without a proper investigation. I have a meeting with the chief superintendent in Waterford next Monday morning but it is like trying to get a meeting with the Pope. There are always barriers in front of people who seek justice. No police force can police a country without the support of the public. I give them that...

Seanad: Order of Business (23 May 2018)

David Norris: The Minister was excellent on RTÉ television last night. Well done to the Minister.

Seanad: Order of Business (22 May 2018)

David Norris: ...that the Archbishop of Adelaide has been convicted of covering up child abuse. He is the highest ranking member of the church to be so convicted. The entire hierarchy of Chile has offered the Pope its resignation on this matter. This is a good Pope. He is a Christ-like man. I think he is absolutely wonderful. That is why I initiated the invitation to him from this House. He learns...
