Gambling Regulation Bill 2022: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (1 May 2024)

Michael Ring: I agree in principle with the Minister of State's Bill because we know we have a problem with gambling in the country. However, as all the previous Deputies have said, the proposal in the Bill is wrong. It is not going to work. I ask the Minister of State not to ask us to vote for the legislation tonight if there is something wrong with it. It is fine for the officials but these voluntary...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Primary Care Centres (1 May 2024)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Horse Welfare Concerns and Compliance with Legislation: County and City Management Association (1 May 2024)

Michael Ring: I will be very brief. I welcome Mr. Condon. I was a long-time member of Mayo County Council and he is a long-time official there. You will not get a better official than him.

Michael Ring: My other question is on whether the same legislation will cover this. As Mr. Condon knows, because he and I have suffered this over the years, we get many complaints about sheep coming down from commonage onto main roads. Is there any legislation in that regard? Does existing legislation cover that situation?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Horse Welfare Concerns and Compliance with Legislation: County and City Management Association (1 May 2024)
