Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) (No. 2) Bill 2022: Committee and Remaining Stages (6 Jul 2022)

David Cullinane: ...summer recess. That happens every year and we have these omnibus Bills that are a mix and match of all sorts of different issues. It is not the best way to progress legislation but there we have it. We are where we are. There is a significant part of amendment No. 6 with which I do not agree. I am disappointed to see that it has been included. That is subsection (6) of section...

Public Accounts Committee: HEA Financial Statements 2017 (18 Oct 2018)

David Cullinane: ...being done and their nature and powers. The Cathaoirleach may remember that there was a lot of them and we had these concerns. In fact we raised concern about legalities on the Waterford one. We are where we are with it, in many respects. We are definitely going to have to come back to this once the advice comes back. The issues at Waterford IT are very real. There is a huge amount...

Public Accounts Committee: Caranua Financial Statements 2014 and 2015 (13 Apr 2017)

David Cullinane: I do not doubt that is Ms Higgins's intention but the phrase "we are where we are" refers to a situation where the overall cost here is €1.5 billion of the overall cost of dealing with abuse.

Public Accounts Committee: Caranua Financial Statements 2014 and 2015 (13 Apr 2017)

David Cullinane: We dealt earlier with the contributions we are getting from the religious congregations, which is quite a small amount. Again, I do not accept the argument that we are where we are. Why do we always end up in that space? We get the forecasting wrong. We did not anticipate the level of activities there would be when the organisation was set up. The same problems keep recurring. People...

David Cullinane: I should have taken the five minutes earlier and come in a second time, but we are where we are. My first question is to Ms Rooney. She talked about revenue and cost controls, both operational and capital. Are domestic water meters operational or capital costs?

Seanad: Matter raised under Standing Order 30 (8 Nov 2012)

David Cullinane: ...Féin warned against this and asked that the 50:50 rule be upheld and that the situation be avoided whereby the State could find itself in court and be subject to such court judgments. However, we are where we are in this regard. I sincerely hope and firmly believe that this court judgment will not in any way take away from people's views that this constitutes an important advance for...

Seanad: Electoral (Amendment)(Political Funding) Bill 2011: Committee Stage (15 Feb 2012)

David Cullinane: ...context of this debate and it would be foolish for us not to do so. That is not to say that Senators in Fianna Fáil or members of that party do not want to have a changed system in the future but we are where we are because of abuses in the system which came from a certain political party. Therefore, I support a ban on corporate donations. As Senator Mac Conghail said, some people may...

Seanad: Long-Term Illness Scheme (2 Feb 2012)

David Cullinane: ...should not penalise people for this condition, especially in the current climate. If we had proper universal health care in the State, the call I am making today would not be so relevant. However, we are where we are with the health service and this issue remains one that must be examined by the Minister. I ask that the illness be included in the list covered by the long-term illness...
