What kind of a cabal of a country are we running? That is all I can call it.

Regina Doherty: I would like to say thanks to the Minister but what she has read out is not acceptable, not to me and not to this Seanad. Shane O'Farrell was killed when he was out on his bike.

John McGahon: What I want to discuss today may be more appropriate for a Commencement debate, but I will have to submit that request after the budget is finished.

Róisín Garvey: I am thankful for this good opportunity to talk about the circular economy. It is a very interesting subject. The circular economy concept deals with everything.

Gas (Amendment) Bill 2023: Second Stage (Resumed) (27 Sep 2023)

Mattie McGrath: If you are fracking gas, you need to have water to keep things cool. It is all part of the construct that was set up and the separation of duties.
