Seanad: Address to Seanad Éireann by Mr. Bertie Ahern, Former Taoiseach (23 May 2023)

...move bananas and oranges around the place safely and to deal with the business end of that, I am not too sure what that has to do with strengthening the Union. I am all on for moving oranges and apples around safely but the Good Friday Agreement is the unity bit. We have to keep making that point. I am hopeful and I wish that these things would happen in the next few weeks but maybe we...

Central Statistics Office Sexual Violence Survey 2022: Statements (Resumed) (17 May 2023)

Mattie McGrath: ...abuse. She was subjected to all kinds of threats and abuse and coercive control by a member of An Garda Síochána and got no support. I support gardaí in what they do around the country but there are bad apples. I met another woman recently from Rathfarnham in Dublin. There is an appalling list-----

Central Statistics Office Sexual Violence Survey 2022: Statements (17 May 2023)

Holly Cairns: ...and how the State supports survivors and pursues perpetrators. We need to have a candid and honest conversation about rape, sexual assault and harassment in Ireland. The narrative of a few bad apples just does not stand up to any kind of scrutiny any more. This is a massive cultural and societal issue and needs to be understood and treated as such. It is about our justice system,...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Fire Stations (9 May 2023)

Thomas Gould: ...are on-call firefighters. In 2023 in the town of Ballincollig, which is now part of Cork city, those people do not work in the village like they did in the old days. They could be working for Apple in Ringaskiddy or in Little Island. This model does not work. We want Cork City Council to put what it has to offer on the table and engage with the workers. I gave a figure. The existing...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Special Educational Needs (9 May 2023)

Patrick O'Donovan: ...parts of the country. If you compare flat territory that does not have peninsulas, mountains or water to places with lush green fields and roads laid out in straight lines, you may as well be comparing apples with pineapples. They are two totally different things. The Senator is right about the terrain and the geographical impediment. As a teacher, I probably know this better than...

Seanad: Courts and Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2022: Second Stage (27 Apr 2023)

Sharon Keogan: ...people from the trans community is constructed. It is important that when that prison is built, it is made all-inclusive. There is no reason for it not to be built. The money is there. The Apple tax will probably come to us in June. The European Court of Justice will be deciding that at the end of May. That is probably €17 billion, approximately, that will be coming back into...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Rights-Based Approach and Disability Legislation: Discussion (27 Apr 2023)

...is primarily from a perspective of due diligence. The optional protocol is a little different from other binding international treaties because we are talking about rights. I do not want to compare apples and oranges but, if I may use a loose example, if Ireland were looking at entering a binding international treaty on trade, it would be expected that we would scope out fully all the...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (26 Apr 2023)

Leo Varadkar: ...with her that strong regions benefit the entire country. However, as I often say and as is often said to me, GDP is not everything. GDP must come with a very big health warning. The presence of Apple alone throws the numbers for GDP in the south-west region while the presence of Microsoft alone throws the numbers dramatically for the eastern region. When I talk to people as I am sure...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (26 Apr 2023)

Sharon Keogan: ...like Portugal and Italy. Some countries offer tax incentives to digital nomads to live in certain areas. Could the Government look at something similar? The European Court of Justice case on Apple's tax bill is due for hearing at the end of May. With interest, this could be approximately €16 billion due to the Exchequer. At a time when the Government will be giving tax breaks...

Seanad: Report of the Independent Review Group on Dignity and Equality Issues in the Defence Forces: Statements (25 Apr 2023) See 1 other result from this debate

Barry Ward: ...I have engaged with members of the Defence Forces in Ireland or abroad, I am reassured that they are people of enormous quality, skill, integrity and dedication, which is not to say that like any other organisation, there are not bad apples in the barrel. Of course there are. That is true as much of these Houses as it is of the Defence Forces or any company, body, profession or whatever...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Housing for All: Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (Resumed) (25 Apr 2023)

Darragh O'Brien: ...question. Regarding the cost of construction and how to get costs out of construction, as Deputy Flaherty mentioned earlier, we build much better now than we did in 2008. It is like comparing apples with oranges. The quality of the homes being produced now is more expensive. Fundamentally they are more expensive because of what we are delivering by way of a product. We have to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: The Future of STEM in Irish Education: Discussion (Resumed) (18 Apr 2023) See 1 other result from this debate

Dr. Ann Marcus-Quinn: Absolutely. It should not be about the placement of a brand within a school. It is worrying when we see schools announcing themselves as a Google school, an Apple school or whatever. We never heard teachers announcing themselves as a Folens or Macmillan teacher. I do not see how there is any real difference there. There is certainly scope to have a better...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (30 Mar 2023)

Gerard Craughwell: ...standing here, wearing proudly my remembrance of being a member of the Defence Forces. Thousands of men and women have served this country with distinction and honour. We have a number of rotten apples who destroyed the reputation of those men and those women. I have had colleagues and friends contact me over the last few days who are devastated, their good names and reputations...

Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2021
Vote 42 - Rural and Community Development
Report of the Accounts of the Public Services 2021
Chapter 6: Central Government Funding of Local Authorities (30 Mar 2023)

...nestled within an interagency and cross-departmental change management project to align those definitions and requirements because otherwise, even adding the data together is a matter of tallying apples and oranges.

Seanad: Environmental Protection Agency (Emergency Electricity Generation) (Amendment) Bill 2023: Committee and Remaining Stages (9 Mar 2023) See 1 other result from this debate

Michael McDowell: ...Ryan, was a member of that committee. It struck me at the time that he was not sufficiently vocal on that matter and did not support the positions I was taking. He seemed to be very happy that Apple would come and all the rest of it. He seemed to be relaxed about these developments. He now knows we are in a different situation. The Minister, Deputy Ryan, consistently argues that...

Written Answers — Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Horticulture Sector (9 Mar 2023)

Charlie McConalogue: ...most impacted by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The sub-sectors at most risk and included under the Scheme were commercial growers in the glasshouse high-wire crops, field vegetable, mushroom and apple sectors. HEPS provided €2.8 million in support under the Temporary Crisis Framework for State Aid measures ensuring the short-term security and thus the long-term viability of these...

International Women's Day: Statements (8 Mar 2023)

Richard O'Donoghue: ...the women who had to move into the sitting room to look after their husbands and to care for them at home so as not to have them go to a nursing home. I salute the women who bake the scones and the apple tarts when there is a bereavement in our parishes, in our families, in our areas, in our communities, who go above and beyond to take care of all of the people at a time of need. I also...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: General Scheme of the Planning and Development Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed) (7 Mar 2023)

...earlier, the national planning framework, which I do not have to remind the committee did not go to the Dáil, is there and the national policy objectives are very good. It is like American motherhood and apple pie. They are certainly good but they are not carried out in reality on the ground. I could cite particular ones but there is no point in doing that. The issue is that...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Working Group on Disinformation (1 Mar 2023)

Rónán Mullen: I thank the Minister of State for his response. I am all in favour of the apple pie as well, but it is the little bit of poison in it that would worry me. We must remember that the present day distrust that cuts across society is not just because of the cranks and opportunists, although they are there; it is also about the elites who are blinded by elitist globalist ideals who consistently...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (23 Feb 2023)

Micheál Martin: ...and I am sharing these issues with the Oireachtas now because it has to go beyond the catch cry of "you are the uncaring Government that wants to do x, y and z and we are the people who are for apple pie" etc.. There is a real issue here. We could make things much worse is the point I am trying to make. We want to build up supply and we are doing it. We are up to 30,000 because of last...
