Pre-European Council Meeting: Statements (20 Mar 2024)

Seán Haughey: ...this in due course and have a discussion about it. What will Ireland's role be on these issues? What about the prospects for a peace deal in Ukraine?

Such a deal would have to include...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: European Elections 2024, Voting Rights and Combatting Disinformation: Discussion (21 Feb 2024)

..., something that has not come up yet - the Senator touched on it - is the issue of deepfakes and artificial intelligence. People are more conscious now, ever since they saw the picture of the Pope in a puffer jacket. That was a moment where the penny dropped that all of these things are possible now. Since, we have seen Arnold Schwarzenegger singing Whitney Houston songs and all sorts....

Seanad: Death of Former Taoiseach: Expressions of Sympathy (7 Feb 2024)

Tim Lombard: ...five weeks later, he was Taoiseach because of things that happened nationally and the change in the local figures. He was a grounded man. He had many things going for him. He could talk to the Pope and the farmer in the street at the same time. He had the ability to go full circle, which is unique in politics. It is a really good characteristic of any individual. From my first...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Concerns for Sourcing Winter Animal Feed in Shannon Callows Area: Discussion (8 Nov 2023)

Seán Canney: ...progress was made, but we never got to a stage where we were going to produce legislation. For me as a Minister of State to meet the ESB, it was like trying to meet the man above, not even the Pope, because the ESB had its own agenda and it had to go through so many channels before I could sit down and ask what the hell was going on. We have created a monster in this country and we have...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Citizens Assembly Report on Biodiversity Loss: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2023)

...environment. The rights of nature radiate through Ecuador's constitution, complementing and helping to protect the human right to a healthy environment. This builds on a growing understanding, as Pope Francis stated in his 2015 speech at the UN that, "Any harm done to the environment ... is harm done to humanity." He called on all nations to protect the environment and explained that a...

...2022, OpenAI released the open source generative AI tool, ChatGPT, where GPT stands for generative pre-trained transformer. On 27 and 28 March 2023, deep fakes of Donald Trump being arrested and Pope Francis in a white puffer jacket went viral.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Assisted Dying and the Constitution: Discussion (20 Jun 2023)

Rónán Mullen: ...a determination, as far as I know. We will come back to that, if necessary. On the subject of liberal and conservative, I was intrigued by Deputy Lahart's engagement with Dr. Hickey. I think it was Pope John XXIII who said that he was glad he was not a liberal in his youth so that he was not then a conservative in his old age. Maybe there is a surprise in all of us. More...

Agriculture and Food Supply Chain Bill 2022: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (10 May 2023)

Michael McNamara: Very good. On the matter of indulgences - I am hoping not to turn you into a medieval pope, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle, given the number you are giving out tonight - I wish to respond to my constituency colleague. I also declare that I am a farmer, as I did on the previous night. I am a beef finisher. I wish the Deputy every success as an organic farmer. I envy him because I would very...

Support for Household Energy Bills: Motion [Private Members] (3 May 2023)

Richard Boyd Barrett: I just want to give the House a laugh, albeit a grim laugh, by reading from The Irish Timesfrom 2011. Mr. Conor Pope wrote an article at that time when it was announced that the Government was going to deregulate the electricity market. It is a real exercise in the ideological blindness and stupidity of people who believe in the efficiency of markets. In all seriousness, the ESB, the...

Seanad: Reykjavik Summit of the Council of Europe: Statements (3 May 2023)

Rónán Mullen: ...naming or establishing those claims as rights and not listening to some of the people who would be most affected. On a European level, we have become involved in a form of cultural colonialism or what Pope Francis has called "ideological colonisation", where we seek to impose some western and far from universal values on eastern, independent democratic nations and, indeed, nations in what...

Credit Union (Amendment) Bill 2022 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed) (1 Mar 2023)

Michael Healy-Rae: ..., but they were real managers. Now we have people who are called managers but everything has to be referred to Dublin. Someone could be as solid as the Rock of Gibraltar and as genuine as the Pope in Rome but be refused a loan from one of the main pillar banks. I call them main pillar banks but I should call them mean pillar banks because that is what they are when it comes to giving...

Malcolm Byrne: ...Affairs of the Royal Irish Academy's EU50 exhibition. It shows how far Ireland has come. A debate in this Chamber on the future of the EU would be welcome. I welcome the statement yesterday by Pope Francis in which he called for an end to anti-gay laws globally. He made very clear that the Catholic Church does not regard homosexuality as a crime and that those who are LGBTQ+ should be...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Architects of the Good Friday Agreement (Resumed): Mr. Wally Kirwan, H.E. Dr. Eamonn McKee and Dr. Martin Mansergh (19 Jan 2023)

...that George Mitchell, the chairman, was often pressed regarding why he did not override or exclude Sinn Féin, the loyalists or unionists on this or that particular issue. His assistant, Martha Pope, used to always say the former Senator liked to have his ducks lined up in a row. The temptation to press the override button should be resisted. If we start to unravel in one corner, we...

...island of Ireland. We have copies of that report for distribution. Our engagement with human trafficking research arises from our involvement with the Santa Marta Group. This is an initiative of Pope Francis to help address human trafficking throughout civil society using improved information and information exchange. The hidden nature of human trafficking means we are dealing with an...
