Regina Doherty: Hear, hear.

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (20 Oct 2022)

Regina Doherty: I thank the Cathaoirleach and colleagues. Senator Conway wants two debates. One is specific to a small number of Members but it is extremely important because all the Members from his area have raised on numerous occasions the funding for the transfer of the heritage sites to the county council. Clearly, there is no response that is satisfactory to the Members, so I will see if I can...

Regina Doherty: I welcome some guests in the Gallery. The couple who originally came to me many years ago with this issue, Caroline and Martin Smith, are here.

Seanad: Civil Registration (Amendment) (Certificate of Life) Bill 2022: Second Stage (20 Oct 2022)

Regina Doherty: I thank the Acting Chairperson and the Minister of State, Deputy Peter Burke, for coming to the Chamber today and for his interventions in the Minister's speech. The bizarre nature of the response would probably be okay if this was the first time that the Department and its officials had ever had any sight of this. I spent a privileged four years in the Department and there are very large...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (18 Oct 2022)

Regina Doherty: In response to Senator Dolan, it is a really exciting time when one gets such wonderful new educational institutions such as our technological universities. It will be wonderful to watch them grow and develop from their inception. It is really exciting for the areas that have them so I thank the Senator for raising that issue and for acknowledging the €1,000 rebate that will be...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (13 Oct 2022)

Regina Doherty: Today and this week mark baby loss awareness week and it is now in its 20th year. It is a wonderful opportunity to bring people together as a community in a safe and supportive space to support anybody who has been touched by pregnancy and baby loss and to allow people to share their experiences, feel connected and share each others' grief. It is probably a little known fact that one in...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (12 Oct 2022)

Seanad: Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: Committee Stage (Resumed) (12 Oct 2022)

Regina Doherty: I do not mind amendments Nos. a4a and b4a being grouped together. I am wondering why amendment No. b4a is not two amendments as opposed to one because there are two distinct and separate items in it.

Seanad: Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: Committee Stage (Resumed) (12 Oct 2022)

Regina Doherty: My amendment No. b4ais more in line with what is being sought by licenceholders and those responsible for the industry. While I do not disagree with the Minister of State's statement that she engaged, much of the engagement in the Oireachtas for many months was to try to persuade all of us that what was being asked for on behalf of the industry was not necessary in the first place. It is...
