Seanad: Fishing Industry: Motion. (8 Dec 2004)

Paul Coghlan: ...it did. Is there evidence of a similar line taken with regard to fisheries offences in other EU countries? Is the Irish situation unique? I am concerned about the handling of this situation and the cloud it has thrown over the whole fishing industry. It is a proud and decent community and I had the privilege of knowing many members during the eight years I was a member of the Dingle...

...sectors, including health, education, transport, energy, financial services, banking and Internet infrastructure. For those seven sectors, what we are obliged to do, along with one other national competent authority, is to identify which entities we regard as being important.

Seán Sherlock: ...whether more Irish SMEs have taken up this opportunity and whether pre-existing Irish companies and SMEs have been crowded out by virtue of the fact that they lack the economies of scale required to compete for business?

Seanad: Commencement Matters: Proposed Legislation (12 Jul 2018)

Fintan Warfield: ...against individuals who specifically target minorities on the basis of racism, homophobia, ableism or other bigoted biases. As a result, we have no data for such incidents, which means that we have no competence in knowing how widespread these issues are. We might get a shock, although I hope not, when we do start to collate such data. I am aware that the Irish Council for Civil...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of Companies (Corporate Enforcement Authority) Bill 2018 (Resumed): Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment (29 Jan 2021)

Leo Varadkar: ...the really big bucks. Potentially, they can command those really big bucks from people who may be breaching these company laws. Quite frankly, it is always a problem with the public service that we are competing with a private sector that can pay really well. When we start paying people in the public service really well, we get understandable criticism from people who are on more modest...

Seanad: Aviation Action Plan: Statements. (31 May 2005)

Michael Finucane: ...as an organisation to promote industrial development in the mid-west region. For a long time, it has acted as a catalyst for industrial development and as a stimulant to tourism in the region. A cloud of uncertainty hangs over this organisation. I have often been critical of it but ultimately praise its work. Recently, the Tánaiste stated that the Shannon free zone would have to bankroll...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Investment Funds: Discussion (1 Mar 2023)

...big practical differences between dealing with a mainstream bank and dealing with a vulture fund. This is human stuff. It is basic humanity. These are people who do and do not have the capability and competency to deal with financial matters in general. These are people who have the capacity and intelligence to be a senior lawyer, politician, or anything in the country, but when it...

Mary Hanafin: ...rate. Furthermore, the exceptional weather conditions in the early part of the year and the closure of airports, particularly in Britain and Ireland, in April and May due to the volcanic ash cloud meant that the early months of this year were particularly difficult in terms of visitors from Great Britain. In fact, the most recent statistics, for June 2010, show that, while numbers from...

Topical Issue Debate: Home Care Packages (8 Apr 2014)

Robert Troy: ...would be interesting to note the figures. I am not speaking about large chain operators. I am speaking about small service providers such as Waddlers and Toddlers in Rathowen in County Westmeath or On Cloud 9 in Mullingar, where the owner operator is in charge. I could give a range of other examples from my constituency and I am sure such services also exist in the Minister's...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: WorldSkills Competition 2019: Discussion (24 Sep 2019)

Mr. Ray English: I would like to make a couple of points. We recognise as champions the 17 people who went to Kazan this year and indeed all of those who competed in the competition in previous years. WorldSkills has also recognised them by giving them special pins to mark their achievements as competitors and champions. We do not make enough use of that when they are back here. Why are...

Greyhound Industry (Doping Regulation) Bill 2006: Second Stage (Resumed). (8 Jun 2006)

Paul Gogarty: .... God help us if any report on sexual offences is treated in the same way. I agree with the sentiments of this Bill and will support its attempt to regulate the greyhound industry.

Much concern has been expressed about the health and safety of the greyhounds but only a handful...

Mary Mitchell O'Connor: ...12.5% corporation tax. We are a country that makes real goods and provides real services — whether medical devices, pharma products, infant milk powder, microchips or FinTech products. We compete with other countries for foreign direct investment. Let no one be so naive as to think that potential FDI companies come here for our smiling Irish eyes or turf fires. It is a...

Greyhound Racing Bill 2018: Second Stage (6 Feb 2019)

Willie Penrose: ...the Bill. If the industry does not take it on board, it will be in the last chance saloon. It is an important opportunity for the industry to put an appropriate regime in place and to remove any cloud that hangs over it. As Deputy O'Keeffe has said, it is an important rural industry that is spread right throughout the regions. People were taken aback that virtually no sanctions were in...

Michelle Mulherin: ...that we vigorously pursue the implementation of the national broadband plan to deliver high-speed broadband throughout our entire country otherwise rural areas, in particular, will not be able to compete for investment in jobs in this mushrooming sector and people and families in rural areas will not be able to enjoy the benefits this 21st century technology can bring to our daily lives...

Seanad: Commencement Matters: Irish Prison Service (13 Jul 2016)

Maire Devine: ...the prisoner. She vividly remembers the scene in the cell and says that were a similar incident to arise again, one nurse simply could not cope with the pressures. We need two nurses for competent cardiopulmonary resuscitation, CPR. A great deal of CPR is administered in the prison following overdose and attempted suicide. In some cases there are completed suicides. The nurses'...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Education (Amendment) Bill 2015 and Education (Parent and Student Charter) Bill 2016: Discussion (Resumed) (30 May 2017)

Jim Daly: ...on the part of the Department. The Department is not just hesitant about this but has objected outright. I resent the fact that the Department has insisted on putting the two Bills side by side, as if they are competing with each other. It is clouding the judgment and the debate by insisting that the two Bills are given pre-legislative scrutiny together.
