Automatic Enrolment Retirement Savings System Bill 2024: Second Stage (Resumed) (17 Apr 2024)

Catherine Connolly: ...man who I do not know but have met. I read all his stuff. He has met some TDs. He wrote to the Pensions Council. His submission deserved not greater respect but greater analysis than what happened. We had to table questions to get the report by Fitzgerald, commissioned by the Department, regarding this man's submission. He was not making the same arguments as I am today but he said...

Taoiseach a Ainmniú - Nomination of Taoiseach (9 Apr 2024)

Catherine Connolly: ...Party and it is an absolute privilege for Deputy Harris's family. I welcome his family here. He will not have my support based on the policies that his party and his colleagues have continued with for years. They talk about collateral damage. This was encapsulated lately for me by Professor John FitzGerald when he dealt with Germany saying we had a housing crisis by saying they were...

Kieran O'Donnell: ...and cost rental. It allows the flexibility to change the mix within that 20% if desired. The point I am trying to make in a roundabout way is that when regeneration happened in Limerick, John Fitzgerald was appointed to head up a review. He put forward that the one issue was the scale of the housing estates was too big. Regeneration has reduced the number of houses in these areas....

Seanad Public Consultation Committee: The Future of Local Democracy: Discussion (Resumed) (29 Feb 2024) See 7 other results from this debate

...may not be as vehement as Deputy Phelan on the issue of town councils, I agree with him. The municipal district level is about right for the delivery of local services. I respect what Mr. Brendan Fitzgerald said and I believe each municipal district was designed, insofar as possible, to have at least one centre of population and an area around it. It is a good model and councillors are...

The work is now starting, which is the most important thing, and to have that...

It does not exist anymore. There is a...

Neither did Jack Lynch, and neither for that matter did Liam Cosgrave, Charlie Haughey, Garret FitzGerald, Albert Reynolds, John Bruton, Bertie Ahern or Enda Kenny. However, the Taoiseach went, the first Taoiseach to go to the Munich Security Conference, mixing and mingling with the generals and admirals, the NATO heads and the representatives of imperialism at...

Marian Harkin: ...in those recommendations has found its way into the Bill, which is the move away from the title of officeholder to civil servant for coroners. That is a massive change.

As we all know, a civil servant...
