Health Bill 2006: Second Stage (24 Jan 2007)

Tony Dempsey: Déanaim comhghairdeachas leis an Aire Sláinte agus Leanaí agus na hAirí Stáit as ucht an Bille seo a chur os ár gcomhair. Roghnaíodh mar Theachta Dála mé ceithre bliana ó shin. Gach uile lá ó shin, léighim trácht sna nuachtáin agus cloisim daoine ag gearán ar an raidió agus teilifís. Go minic, bíonn cúis cheart acu gearán a dhéanamh faoi chúrsaí leighis sa tír....

Planning and Development (Strategic Infrastructure) Bill 2006 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed). (14 Jun 2006)

Tony Dempsey: Déanaim comhghairdeas leis an Aire as an mBille seo a thabhairt os ár gcomhair inniu. Tá sé an-tábhachtach, agus tá pleanáil an-tábhachtach don ghnáthdhuine, do mhuintir na tuaithe agus mhuintir na cathrach mar aon. I congratulate the Minister for bringing forward the Bill. Since I was elected to the House, planning has probably been the third most important issue I have come across,...

Residential Tenancies (Amendment) Bill 2006: Second Stage (Resumed). (5 Apr 2006)

Tony Dempsey: According to my watch, I should have been on time but perhaps Wexford and Dáil time are different. I wish to share time with Deputies Callanan, Wilkinson, Devins, Glennon, Kirk and Carthy. Tááthas orm labhairt ar rud chomh tábhachtach agus atá an Bille seo agus the amendments to it atá curtha ag an Aire. The Government is conscious of the new lifestyles evident around the country. In...

Sea-Fisheries and Maritime Jurisdiction Bill 2005: Second Stage (Resumed). (1 Dec 2005)

Tony Dempsey: I wish to share time with Deputy Kirk. Tá áthas orm seans a fháil labhairt ar an mBille seo, atá an-tábhachtach don cheantar i Loch Garman ina bhfuilim i mo chónaí agus ina rabhas ag múineadh le fada. I welcome the opportunity to speak briefly on this Bill which is important to the livelihoods of many of my constituents. I express my sympathy to the Meyler and Colfer families on the...

Sea-Fisheries and Maritime Jurisdiction Bill 2005: Second Stage (Resumed). (1 Dec 2005)

Tony Dempsey: The Green Party was not part of that. Sometimes the hand-wringing engaged in when in Opposition does not reflect the reality of the political scenario. We are lucky to have Deputy Gallagher as Minister of State at the Department of Communications, Marine and Natural Resources with special responsibility for the marine. Unlike me, bhí seisean páirteach i saol na n-iascairí agus bhí sé ina...

Irish Ferries: Motion (Resumed). (12 Oct 2005)

Tony Dempsey: Tá díoma orm go bhfuil muid ag plé ceiste comh deacair is atá an cheist seo. The seafaring industry nationally is worth in the order of €1.45 billion to the economy. Deputy Howlin and I have met Irish Ferries and members of the seafaring industry regularly in recent years. I do not need to stress the importance of Irish Ferries to Wexford and the importance of what Irish Ferries is...

I thank the Minister of State, Deputy Tim O'Malley, for his visit to St. Senan's Hospital in Enniscorthy last week, when he met experts in the field of suicide. I also thank him for his positive approach to try to address the causes of suicide. I compliment Deputy Neville on the hard work he has been doing in...

Garda Síochána Bill 2004 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed). (14 Apr 2005)

Tony Dempsey: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Teachta Mulcahy as ucht ama a roinnt liom. Tá áthas orm seans a fháil labhairt ar an mBille seo. Fadó, ní raibh baint ar bith le hobair na Gardaí leis an gnáth-dhuine. An lá atá inniu ann, áfach, toisc go bhfuil fás ar choireanna ar fud na tíre, tá dlúthbhaint le saol an ghnáth-dhuine ó lá go lá le hobair na nGardaí. When canvassing in the general...

Irish Language: Statements. (23 Mar 2005)

Tony Dempsey: Tá áthas orm seans a fháil labhairt ar cheist na Gaeilge. Tá sé tábhachtach smaoineamh inniu faoin íobairt a rinne ár sinsear nuair nach raibh cead acu Gaeilge a labhairt agus an tréan-iarracht a rinne siad ár dteanga binn a choimeád beo. Dúirt Pádraig Mac Piarais, "gan teanga, gan tír" agus é ag cur síos ar an dlúthbhaint idir aitheantas náisiúnta agus an teanga. Bímid ag...

Health Bill 2004: Second Stage (Resumed). (26 Nov 2004)

Tony Dempsey: Tá seanfhocal sa Ghaeilge a deir, "Is fearr an tsláinte ná an táinte", agus níl aon rud i saol an Rialtais nó i saol an ghnáthdhuine níos tábhachtaí ná sláinte an phobail agus na ndaoine. The English equivalent is "Health is wealth". The Irish version goes further in saying health is better than wealth. Most politicians subscribe to the latter because since joining this band of...
