Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Irish Coast Guard: Discussion (18 Nov 2021)

...HR people. This required this type of thing. We brought another company in. We have been working with them with the team to try and mend the ways. Up until recently, we offered a mediator. We are where we are. Mr. Mulvey is in there now. HR issues are very sensitive.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: National Broadband Plan: Discussion (Resumed) (19 Jun 2019)

Kate O'Connell: ...poles and cables attached to them and the ground around them, as such, but that is gone now and we cannot reverse that. I know it is regrettable as we could do with them to attach these cables but we are where we are today. This is a vital infrastructure just like electricity but it is not really comparable to Eircom because what we are dealing with here is the infrastructure as a cable...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: General Scheme of the Marine Protected Areas Bill 2023: Discussion (Resumed) (2 Feb 2023)

Mr. Denis Devane: Yes, but we are where we are, and in the position we are, and we need to move forward within the next decade because runaway climate change is occurring. Without moving forward right now, or without currently using this dual process, we need to get to our 2030 targets and we must keep going.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (21 Oct 2020)

Micheál Martin: We are where we are in terms of the recruitment processes. There will be close to 800 people recruited for contact tracing. Testing and contact tracing are connected. We are testing more than we ever tested.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Electronic Health Records: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)

Mr. Fran Thompson: In an ideal world we would have been allowed to proceed. It is not us that is linking them. In an ideal world we would have been allowed to proceed but we are not and we are where we are as a result.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Heads of Protection of Life during Pregnancy Bill 2013: Public Hearings (17 May 2013)

Eamonn Maloney: ...uncomfortable with the idea of legislators - that is, people like myself - interfering in that relationship between a woman and her doctor in pregnancy and childbirth. To use that awful phrase, "We are where we are." We are dealing with a Bill which is extremely restrictive and deals with only one item - namely, pregnant women whose lives are at risk by suicide. We are not dealing with...

Seanad: Water Services (Amendment) Bill 2011: Committee Stage (Resumed) (23 Nov 2011) See 1 other result from this debate

Phil Hogan: We are where we are in regard to the European Court of Justice judgment and that is why we are here. Perhaps Senators can offer me a different way to resolve these issues without having an inspection and monitoring system for septic tanks. I will clarify this point for Senator Ó Domhnaill. What we are dealing with, specifically, are individual houses with septic tanks. We are not dealing...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Time to Go Report: Discussion with NYCI (1 Oct 2013)

Damien English: Through no fault of our own and for whatever reason we are where we are. We need to accept that there will be a shortage of jobs for a couple of years. It should be okay to discuss emigration and support to emigrants. As I have mentioned previously at committees, we need to look to Europe. There are gaps in the market across Europe where jobs are available. There are even places in...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Priority Questions: Postal Services (21 Mar 2017)

Brian Stanley: ...been hearing talk about what should be done to broaden the number of services for years. Previous Governments of all hues have not acted decisively. We would not be where we are now if they had. We are where we are and we need to move on from that. When are services for motor tax, business rates, Government services and banking opportunities going to be rolled out? The Kerr report...

Treaty on Stability, Co-ordination and Governance in the Economic and Monetary Union: Statements (29 Feb 2012)

Catherine Murphy: ...economic situation would cause us to be refused. I use the term, "bailout" advisedly but even after this bailout we will have a debt to GDP ratio of somewhere close to 120%. It is not a case of, "we are where we are", rather we must look at how we got here. It is clear there was major political, regulatory and domestic financial failings but I ask if those failings could have occurred if...

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Regulation and Funding Issues Facing Workers in the Early Years Sector: Discussion (5 Oct 2021)

Ruairi Ó Murchú: ...accepted that. That is why this got kicked down the road for two years. I will not get into the ins and outs of which Minister then kicked it into action just before the last general election. We are where we are. In fairness, the Minister, Deputy O'Gorman, has dealt with me on the issue. A number of providers in my constituency are impacted by it, whether that is the service in...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance and Funding of Football Association of Ireland: Discussion (18 Dec 2019)

Brendan Griffin: ...to work with those people and do our best to move this forward and achieve progress. Earlier we discussed the process of appointing the independent directors, which should have started earlier. We are where we are. As the Minister, Deputy Ross, said earlier, we want to meet those people the day they are appointed and get stuck in. Unfortunately, we are not at that point yet, but we...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Update on CAP and CFP: Discussion with Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine (7 May 2013)

Simon Coveney: ...of the European Union boarfish quota, which is a new quota stock. When negotiating access to quota in recent years, we have done very well in that area. We can go through the argument as to why we are where we are when we look to the time Ireland became a member of the EU. I read in the fishing media each week that people are talking about the need to actually change quota and so on. I...

Confidence in Minister for Health and Children: Motion (27 Nov 2007)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Resourcing of Personal Assistance Services: Discussion (8 Jul 2021)

...for a project that essentially will engage with 180 individuals through three different variants of a personalised budget. That said, as mentioned by Deputy Wynne, there have been attempts here before. We are where we are and there has been a lot of effort put into getting us to where we are in terms of the task force. I do not think we should allow a loss of momentum in terms of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Delays at Dublin Airport: Discussion (1 Jun 2022)

Ruairi Ó Murchú: Either way, it is the other one. We are where we are. DAA has looked at Cork Airport from a point of view of human resources. Where else has it looked? If it is completely under pressure and stretched, has it had a conversation with the Government about the possibility of bringing people in? Are there any suitable people within State services? There is much talk of bringing in the Army....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Women's Shelters and Domestic Abuse Refuges: Discussion (3 Nov 2021)

...be increasing our outreach services across Monaghan, Cavan, Navan, Trim and Dundalk between now and February because there was so much suicidal ideation in January of last year after Christmas. We are where we are, and we can only go forward, but it is important to start giving confidence and encouragement to male victims to seek help and start the conversation. We will work on a...

Public Accounts Committee: National Asset Management Agency: Financial Statements 2016 and 2017
Comptroller and Auditor General Special Report No. 102: National Asset Management Agency Second Progress Report (20 Sep 2018)

...is said that perhaps we should have done other things with the loans, but the fact that NAMA was set up and had a very focused remit, reflected throughout the Act, has comprised much of the reason we are where we are today, with a successful outcome, rather than where we could have been. I know that is based on hindsight but-----

Seanad: Report of Joint Committee on the Constitutional Amendment on Children: Statements (24 Feb 2010)

Dan Boyle: ...we signed up to 20 years ago. We cannot take pride in the fact that it has taken us two decades to arrive at our current position. However, as we say in all good political and economic debates, we are where we are. We have to address this issue because it can no longer be put on the long finger. The commitment shown by the committee, the Minister of State and the original and revised...

Select Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Renewable Energy Directive: Motions (15 Dec 2020)

Christopher O'Sullivan: I thank the Minister for bringing this to us today. To say it is not ideal is a bit of an understatement. We are where we are, however. If anything, this agreement underlines and further emphasises the need for immediate action in respect of our goals regarding the reduction of emissions and meeting our targets. The figure of €50 million is one we could use here in our economy and...
