Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (21 Sep 2017)

Seán Fleming: ...are some outstanding, and the specific legal reason that is preventing completion. It may have to do with title and trusts and some of the religious institutions saying that they have to go to the Pope to get some of this signed off. I have heard that we are down to that type of argument. Let us crystalise this and get to the end of it. We will ask for that information.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Organ Harvesting in China: Discussion (6 Jul 2017) See 1 other result from this debate

...Vatican itself, Beijing pushed the line that Chinese harvesting of prisoner organs is pretty much over and done with. Neither attempt persuaded the conference, the press or, at the Vatican conference, the Pope, because he did not address the conference as he was scheduled to do. David Matas, David Kilgour and I see no reform. Instead, we see an $8 billion to $9 billion Chinese...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Preserving Ireland's Natural Heritage: Discussion (5 Jul 2017) See 1 other result from this debate

...cross-Border co-operation on nature protection, and particularly the cross-Border habitats, which are designated under EU directives, are not endangered. I would like to conclude by quoting from Pope Francis' encyclical, Laudato Si', Praise To, which refers to our common home and gives a very strong message on the need to stabilise our climate and our common home, and to cherish each...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Referendum Campaigns (4 Jul 2017)

Joan Burton: ...commit to holding the referendum shortly after March and perhaps before the middle of June 2018. It is appropriate for it to be held then because it should not become embroiled in the visit of the Pope to Ireland towards the end of the summer. We want a respectful debate. It is a very difficult personal issue for huge numbers of people. The people who campaign on the "ultra" sides of...

European Council: Statements (28 Jun 2017)

Maureen O'Sullivan: ...change. It is also caused by conflict, land grabs and displacement. It is a crisis that is receiving very little attention. The appeals for funding have been underfunded. I am struck by a quote from Pope Francis, who said, "Today we cannot be satisfied with simply being aware of the problems faced" The EU is a major contributor to aid and the question is whether it is going to the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Fossil Fuel Divestment Bill 2016: Discussion (27 Jun 2017)

...is complex and must be managed. We recognise that. However, moral leadership that can unlock new ambition and progress is absolutely essential. In his seminal encyclical, Laudato si' - On Care For Our Common Home, Pope Francis states:Hope would have us recognize that there is always a way out, that we can always redirect our steps, that we can always do something to solve our problems....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: Engagement with MEPs (24 May 2017)

...them out rather than keep them safe. The support the Parliament has given to Frontex in this area and the role the latter has played are alarming and shocking. The Mediterranean has, to quote Pope Francis, turned into a "floating cemetery". It is Europe's sinking shame. Shame on all of us who witness it but do nothing about it. Senator Coghlan spoke about the negotiations. The...

Manchester Arena Bombing: Expressions of Sympathy (23 May 2017)

Eamon Ryan: ...people home. In Britain's recent history, its strongest identity in response to bombing is in the spirit of the Blitz. This attack has all the hallmarks of an ISIS attack. We met the Coptic Pope recently. It is remarkably similar to the attack in the Coptic cathedral in Egypt. The same numbers of people were killed and the same mechanism was used. There was the same targeting of...

Seanad: Public Service Broadcasting: Statements (23 May 2017)

Terry Leyden: ...of the 1916 Rising, which was extremely good. Since RTE covered the visit of President John F. Kennedy to Ireland in 1963, its outside broadcasting production has been exemplary. Next year the Pope is coming to Ireland and RTE will have another opportunity to show how good it is at covering such events. The Minister has responsibility for RTE. I know his heart is in the right place and...

Seanad: Order of Business (16 May 2017) See 1 other result from this debate

John Dolan: I am very pleased to mention that this Thursday, 18 May, the pontiff will hold an audience for people and their families with Huntington's disease from around the world. Pope Francis has a particular interest in this disease because a lot of people in certain countries in South America are affected by it. The huntingtin gene was identified by a Galway-born doctor Professor Michael Conneally...

Brexit: Statements (4 Apr 2017)

Micheál Martin: ...they issued was full of pious aspirations but very little substance and it is far from clear that there is a shared concept of what the Union's priorities should be. In his speech to the leaders, Pope Francis took a very reflective and important look at the founding ideals of the Union and its current troubles. He criticised what he termed "today's lapse of memory" which he described as...

Ceisteanna - Questions: EU Issues (4 Apr 2017)

Enda Kenny: ...the European Council meeting in Brussels. The date of the next meeting of the Cabinet committee has not yet been confirmed. I attended the Rome Summit on 25 March, as well as an audience with Pope Francis in the Vatican the previous evening. On the morning of 25 March, the 27 EU Heads of State and Government met without the UK in the room where the Treaty of Rome had been signed in...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Government-Church Dialogue (28 Mar 2017) See 5 other results from this debate

Joan Burton: I understand that Pope Francis's visit to Ireland is in the context of families. Obviously, the children and adults who were in various institutions and were the subject of the redress that we are speaking about are all parts of families. For a long period, many of those families were not recognised. There are broadly recognised now. While I understand that the Taoiseach cannot, nor...

Seanad: Commission of Investigation Announcement on Tuam Mother and Baby Home: Statements (9 Mar 2017)

Alice-Mary Higgins: ..., even the records of where their loved ones are buried. Ms Marie Collins has had to resign from the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors at the Vatican because she recognises that the Pope, while he acts in good faith, approves measures which meet obstruction in the Vatican, a vast centre of wealth. Very modern and complex company structures are put in place to hide and...

US Executive Order on Immigration: Statements (15 Feb 2017)

Mattie McGrath: ...but, nonetheless, as Taoiseach of the country he has to go, and I wish him well in that. I know he will do his best, once he puts away his phone. I hope he will not text the way he did in front of the Pope, but sin scéal eile. The persecution of Christians throughout the world is unbelievable. I have tried to debate that issue in this Chamber. His Holiness, the Pope, asked me...

Clarification of Statements made by the Taoiseach and Ministers: Statements (14 Feb 2017)

Enda Kenny: ...of Church and State, with particular reference to sexual abuse over the years. I referred to the latter in a speech delivered in respect of the Cloyne issue. Only last year, when I had an opportunity to speak to Pope Francis, I brought to his attention another case of sexual abuse. I believe the central and fundamental issue here is that there is a claim and allegation that a...

Seanad: Order of Business (31 Jan 2017)

Billy Lawless: ...living in the United States or the 34 million people in the US who claim Irish ancestry. I call on the Trump Administration to rescind the executive order. I call on it to follow the words of Pope Francis who has admonished us to welcome the stranger and those fleeing suffering or persecution. In this climate, the 50,000 undocumented Irish in the United States are watching closely with...

Aidan Davitt: I call on the Government and our Leader, in conjunction with the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, to liaise with the archbishops, Eamon Martin and Diarmuid Martin, on the proposed visit of Pope Francis to Ireland. It would be an ideal opportunity to address the joint Houses of the Oireachtas. He has a natural connection to Dublin as he lived here for over three months and this would...
