Domestic, Sexual and Gender-Based Violence: Statements (10 Jul 2025) See 4 other results from this debate

Jim O'Callaghan: ...out there. Deputy Carthy referred to the refuge spaces in his constituency and the civil legal aid scheme that needed to be supported in order to ensure that women could have the expertise to facilitate them in getting barring orders. As I said before, it is my intention to improve the civil legal aid scheme and I hope to be able to publish the reports I have received in respect of it...

Transparency for Supermarket Profits: Motion [Private Members] (9 Jul 2025)

Conor Sheehan: I have the humble Snack bar in my hand. Its price has doubled. People used to be able to get 12 of them for €1 a decade ago. The price is now €5. It is not the farmers in Africa who grow the cocoa who are benefiting from this. Supermarkets should have to tell people if they are paying more for less. Supermarkets are gouging people. They must be forced to publish their...

Seanad: Defamation (Amendment) Bill 2024: Second Stage (9 Jul 2025)

Nicole Ryan: ...of our legal system. As others have said, this would leave Ireland a complete outlier among common law jurisdictions. The move is not backed by the legal community. The Law Society, the Bar of Ireland and the Judiciary have all expressed concerns about this shift. The Government's pre-legislative scrutiny report urged against this step, yet we are now being asked to accept a Bill that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade: General Scheme of Israeli Settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (Prohibition of Importation of Goods) Bill 2025: Discussion (Resumed) (9 Jul 2025)

...be interpreted strictly and applied proportionately. The case law on public policy exceptions mainly comes on the basis of intra-EU trade restrictions, but the court has generally set and maintained a high bar for member states to be able to invoke that exception. For the purposes at hand, we will say that the public policy exception is to be understood on an intra-EU basis and an...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport: Unmanned Aircraft Systems: Discussion (9 Jul 2025) See 1 other result from this debate

Ruth Coppinger: ...that correct? The other issue is that there are no residents even represented here today. Professor McCarthy said there should be societal acceptance. Would he not agree that we need a higher bar than that assent and approval of the airspace over our houses and back gardens suddenly being invaded by drones? I ask Professor McCarthy to be very brief because I have another question.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Humanitarian Access (8 Jul 2025)

Seán Crowe: ...West Bank and seize hundreds of acres of land for their settlers to take over. My concern is that it will be too late to seek support for a two-state solution when there are no Palestinians left, bar those filling the graveyards or dying in their thousands on the sides of the roads. Children are being wiped out by a murderous Israeli military which is hell-bent on clearing Gaza of every...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (8 Jul 2025)

Micheál Martin: ...feature of Irish society for quite a while. Then we end up with judicial reviews. The new planning legislation seeks to streamline the practice of judicial reviews but it was opposed by everyone in the House bar those on the Government side in the last Dáil. There is no point in coming in here and asking me what will be done at the highest level. We all agree in here that there...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 Jul 2025)

Jennifer Whitmore: I welcome our visitors to the Gallery. The European Commission has just raised the bar for Irish farmers when it comes to compliance with the nitrates directive. The intervention by Europe is welcome because successive Governments have failed to protect our river bodies.

Committee on Public Petitions and the Ombudsmen: Petition on Pensions and Social Security Legislation (8 Jul 2025)

.... It would also, in my view, be more honourable to the intent of the legislation because if I were to recommend the window be changed to 48 months, 56 months, or whatever length of time, it is possible I would be proposing setting a bar that one or two individuals out there could not get over. By deleting those four words and inserting the word “following”, which would make...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport: General Scheme of the Broadcasting (Amendment) Bill: Discussion (Resumed) (8 Jul 2025)

...out quality programming and to invest in the best commentators, analysts and production companies in Ireland. I mentioned the 70 people we currently employ. The challenge is maintaining that high bar we set ourselves in the years to come. As a starter, for us to end year 1 with the volume and the additionality of games GAA+ has offered has been well received from our members. It has...

Committee on Children and Equality: General Scheme of the Equality (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: Discussion (8 Jul 2025)

...Act and the abolition of differential pay rates for disabled people are very welcome. The extension of the time limit relating to the Maternity Protection Act is very important for women who would have found themselves barred from taking a claim upon returning from their maternity leave. The implementation of aspects of the pay transparency directive is also welcome, although it does...

Ministers and Secretaries (Attorney General) Bill 2023: Second Stage [Private Members] (3 Jul 2025)

Emer Higgins: ...Attorney General. The Bill seeks to introduce a number of inflexible provisions seeking to unnecessarily regulate matters relating to the Attorney General’s remuneration, private practice and practice at the Bar, many of which are already addressed appropriately in a non-statutory manner. Since this Bill was originally put on the Order Paper, the Government has approved the...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Pigmeat Sector (3 Jul 2025)

Paul Murphy: ...had a chance to watch it. I encourage him to do so. Sick and dying pigs with open wounds and weeping open sores were left to suffer and die in filthy conditions. "Enrichment" was just a metal bar and the pigs were clearly starved of any real enrichment. Pigs had their tails painfully docked or cut off right up to the root, although tail-docking is supposed to be banned, other than...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Legal Aid (3 Jul 2025) See 1 other result from this debate

Matt Carthy: As the Minister may recall, my interest in this matter comes from several different angles but particularly as a result of work I have done with women, predominantly, who have sought protection or barring orders and have tried to secure legal representation under the civil legal aid entitlements but cannot get legal representation. The Minister told me this would be considered in the context...

Cathal Byrne: ...with the three principles of being fair, fast and firm. I acknowledge the right of many people who have concerns about the immigration system in the country. It is a conversation being had in bars, in the street, at GAA matches, in the workforce and in so many communities across the country. We should move from the emergency system we have seen in recent years, where individuals with...
