Paul Gavan: ...devastation caused to that sector by Government cutbacks, particularly the first Fine Gael-Labour Government. Those cutbacks have never really been restored. We saw vital community programmes completely destroyed, we saw some of the best people in those communities lose their jobs and the level of community intervention has never recovered from those cutbacks of over ten years ago. I...

Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (Revised) (31 Jan 2024)

Michael Ring: ...before. There is an extra burden now from the red tape, not that Brussels is great at it. I was glad to see French farmers out. Maybe it is time Irish farmers came out because they are all destroyed with red tape. They are not able to farm. It is red tape, filling in forms, trying to keep to regulations and everyone on top of them trying to make them make a mistake. I see it with...

David Stanton: ...country, in particular. As the Minister knows, that flooding was devastating. He visited the place. The water was three feet high on the walls of businesses and homes. Everything was ruined, destroyed and had to be thrown out onto skips. The work of lifetimes was destroyed. I thank the Minister for helping those people. I also acknowledge the fact that this week, I think, he looked...

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Revised) (31 Jan 2024)

Bernard Durkan: ...that traffic go back and forth on that avenue and emerge onto Main Street in Celbridge in the present day is just rubbish. It just does not add up. It would be strongly objected to. It would destroy the town and embitter the people against what is being done to them. They have a right to live in the town and enjoy Castletown House, just as much as people from all over the country do....

Vote 38 - Health (Revised) (31 Jan 2024)

Stephen Donnelly: ...While we must provide healthcare services for those with eating disorders, we also need to take more action regarding smartphones and social media. I have met parents whose children’s lives have been destroyed by eating disorders in the most serious of ways. When I asked them what kicked it off, they held up their phones and said, “This is what got them.” At a BT...

Mary Lou McDonald: ...is on the line in Gaza. With every Palestinian killed in Israel's genocidal war, with every innocent Gaza child whose beautiful life is horrifically extinguished, with every family wiped out, home destroyed and hospital decimated, and with every refugee camp bombed, the humanity of the world slips further into the darkness. Ireland must now confront that darkness. Ireland must confront...

Micheál Martin: ...period 2024 to 2027. If agreed, this package will allow Ukraine to continue to pay wages and pensions, maintain essential public services, ensure macroeconomic stability and restore critical infrastructure destroyed by Russia. An agreement unfortunately could not be reached at the December European Council due to the decision of Hungary to use its veto. I am deeply disappointed by this...

Gino Kenny: .... This is ongoing. However, there must be accountability. One of the schools mentioned by the Tánaiste, in a village called Khirbet Zanuta, was funded by Irish Aid and was completely destroyed. There must be accountability not only for settler violence but also for violence by the Israeli state. There must be sanctions. I ask the Tánaiste to consider the Control of Economic...

Catherine Connolly: ...in giving any amount of money, and yet when it comes to the people of Palestine, the Government stands up here and says that it is giving money to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, UNRWA, and that we have given money here and there, while the country is being destroyed. We are allowing that to happen, a Cheann Comhairle. What do we do with her friends, the US? We allow them to...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (24 Jan 2024)

Paul Murphy: The housing and homelessness crisis is spiralling even further out of control. It is destroying the lives of thousands of families and children across the State. In South Dublin County Council, 1,452 people were registered as homeless in November, including 653 children. All three homeless hubs in Tallaght are now permanently full. We do not just have a social housing list anymore, we...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Disability Services (24 Jan 2024)

Eugene Murphy: ...at this day and age. Dáithí will be six years old in March, in a few weeks. His parents say that watching him make an effort to talk to his parents, siblings and grandparents is soul-destroying. He gets upset, annoyed and anxious - I have witnessed this in other cases as well - when he is not able to express and tell them what he wants. Parents know the situation here. If...

The pitch was destroyed; it will not be possible to use it. It is not the first time vandalism has taken place on the pitch. In this instance Dublin City Council took down the gate. There was negligence...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Capital Projects and Operations: Iarnród Éireann (24 Jan 2024)

Steven Matthews: ...2:1 spend must be maintained. That has to be a priority. Companies like Irish Rail need that certainty in budgets and support from government policy for those projects. Stop-start policy changes destroy those long-term ambitions. I have three questions. One is on freight and another is on staff capacity. Our colleagues from bus services were in recently and talked about driver...

David Stanton: ..., and Midleton in particular. The images from the town on the television screen were really frightening. There was water 3 ft or 4 ft high in houses, homes and businesses and cars and roads were destroyed. I acknowledge the Minister of State visited and saw for himself the damage that was done. For many years now, we have been promised a flood relief scheme not only for Midleton, but...
