Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Disability Support Services (1 Dec 2020)

Anne Rabbitte: ...Deputy is right in everything she said. I will not contradict one bit of it. I will talk about the MRC for one moment, however.

I was at the Bridge House and the Millennium House, I think, and I was out to the MRC building itself. On...

Promoting Cycling: Motion [Private Members] (19 Dec 2018)

Anne Rabbitte: I also thank Deputy Troy for bringing forward this motion. I was delighted to hear the Minister of State's response because I was wilting during the response from the Minister. He just went on and on, whereas the Minister of State had passion. He clearly gets the issue, and understands what we in rural Ireland are seeking to do in the context of greenways. As a rural Deputy from Galway, I...

Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill: Report Stage (Resumed) (2 May 2018)

Anne Rabbitte: I will not endorse any form of filibustering and I will only take a few minutes. It is my first time to address this Bill and I will only speak to one point in support of Deputy Robert Troy's comments this evening and over the past number of months.

Anne Rabbitte: ...not be supporting the repeal of the Eighth Amendment. I will not be supporting the 12 weeks. That is not something I am comfortable with in my conscience for all the reasons my colleague, Deputy Troy, has outlined here.

Anne Rabbitte: I compliment Deputy Troy on bringing this motion before us this evening. In the one minute available to me, I will give the Minister a synopsis of my life as a rural Deputy in east Galway.

When I...

Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Second Stage (Resumed) (29 Jun 2017)

Anne Rabbitte: ...never in my life seen as few speakers from the other side of the House. Either they do not understand it or they do not support it. Either way it is apparent to me that this is the Shane Ross Bill - earlier Deputy Troy said we should rename the Bill. I do not mean to be flippant but it is very apparent that there is very little support for the Bill coming from the other side of the...

Anne Rabbitte: I thank Deputy Robert Troy for bringing the motion to the House. Earlier the Minister said there was a difference between himself and Deputy Troy and that they did not share the same road to a solution. I agree with him. Deputy Troy is standing up for rural Ireland. He is standing up for the staff of Bus Éireann, the towns, the young and the old. He is standing up to create...

Anne Rabbitte: ...for children and youth affairs for the Fianna Fáil Party I have been inundated, week in and week out with commentary on Oberstown.

A number of different children escaped and there was a report of a...
