Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (16 Nov 2021)

Regina Doherty: ...directly elected mayor. I am excited about this and not just because I hope that Limerick is going to get a well resourced and powerful person to look after the city, but it will give confidence to people in Dublin, Cork, Galway and Kilkenny to make sure that they do the same. We need to see autonomy within those cities and people being able to make revenue-raising and revenue-spending...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (4 Nov 2021)

Regina Doherty: ...that she got on the dance floor and that she had not been spiked with a needle. It was only when she went to the accident and emergency department and the genito-urinary medicine, GUM, unit in Cork University Hospital, CUH, that she received toxicology reports. That young lady will now be on hepatitis and PrEP medication for three months arising from the incident she experienced. This...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (20 Oct 2021)

Regina Doherty: ...Martin Conway, Barry Ward and Jerry Buttimer asked for a debate on antisocial behaviour. When we started this conversation a couple of months ago we spoke about big cities like Dublin, Limerick and Cork but it is not a problem just in big cities any more. I live in a relatively small town and there is a gang of 15-year-olds and 16-year-olds going around beating up 12-year-olds and...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (5 Oct 2021)

Regina Doherty: ...a change. From Senator Maria Byrne's perspective, I also want to acknowledge the concern around what seems to be the downgrading of the N20 and M20. That needs explanation.If the expected plans for the Limerick-Cork project have changed, they need to be brought to the attention of all the people who will be affected by that. I will convey that message to the Minister for the Senator....

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (5 Oct 2021)

Regina Doherty: Senator Lombard spoke of being star struck when he was walking around west Cork by all the famous people who were there. He was right in stating support for the film industry needs to be highlighted in the budget that will be presented next Tuesday. Senator Carrigy also mentioned this issue. Those in the industry have had a devastating number of years. They provide every section of...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (18 May 2021)

Regina Doherty: ...message it sends out to the 150,000-odd families is not the message the Government wants to give, so it must be on the agenda next week. The Senator also sought a debate on antisocial behaviour in Cork city but it is not just about Cork city. We are encouraging everyone to have an outdoor summer for all the right reasons, but along with that come some negative connotations. I refer not...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (10 May 2021)

Regina Doherty: ...months ahead. Senator Currie is also correct. We have seen over the past number of weeks some instances, for example, Malahide over the weekend, Howth the previous weekend, as well as Dalkey and Cork, and how the return to a sense of new normal is causing frustration for some towns and villages. This will not be without difficulties and will involve a new policing plan to ensure that we...

Seanad: European Digital Green Certificate: Statements (7 May 2021)

Regina Doherty: ...about aeroplanes and big multinational corporate companies. We are talking about people who live where the Minister of State and I live. We are talking about people who live in Dublin, Shannon, Limerick and Cork and across the breadth of the country. These are the people who serve us when we get on the plane and the ground crew. They are not earning massive bucks. We are also speaking...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (29 Mar 2021)

Regina Doherty: ...careers. We have attempted to redistribute public services in recent years through decentralisation, somewhat unsuccessfully. This does not mean we will have a pocket in Sligo, Roscommon, Cork, Galway or north County Dublin, which I represent. It means we can have all services at all levels with all opportunities in rural Ireland. I welcome the announcement to be made later today and I...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 Mar 2021)

Regina Doherty: ...has requested a debate with the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage and I will put that request in for him today. I have no doubt that in the minds of the people who live in Cork, and also of the rest of us because of the contributions people from Cork make about their much-loved city, it will not be allowed to become anywhere close to being second best in Ireland....

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (5 Mar 2021)

Regina Doherty: ...hear of the passing of Eoin. We extend our condolences to his wife and children. I could not agree more with Senator Lombard that there is absolutely no need for a public protest to take place in Cork. I note the irony of the call on the Minister by the Irish Council for Civil Liberties yesterday to look for safe guidelines regarding how public protests can be conducted under a level 5...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (26 Feb 2021)

Regina Doherty: ...Privileges and Oversight. For what it is worth, and Senator Buttimer raised this also, it is an enormous achievement for Larry McCarthy, who hails from New York and is originally from Cork, to be in this very important position, particularly at a time of such difficulty for the GAA. We have seen the announcement of its figures, as we will probably see from lots of organisations and...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (1 Feb 2021)

Regina Doherty: ...afternoon but we probably need a separate debate on it when we have all of the details. I would also love to see the outcomes of the pilot scheme that was run by the former Minister of exactly this scheme in Cork a number of years ago. It indicates whether this is going to work or shows the pitfalls or the pros and cons of how the pilot actually went so we can all learn, when we are...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (3 Dec 2020)

Regina Doherty: ...by phone. If not, I will communicate with her in writing. Senator Currie raised the admissions policies that have been changed by some of our Dublin schools and, probably, some our city schools in Cork and Galway. She alluded to the fact that she could not understand the logic to it. I think that is because there is no logic to it. It makes no sense for a parent to send a...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (10 Nov 2020)

Regina Doherty: I have no skin in the game between Cork or Kerry but it gave great joy in our house and it was something to shout out at on the telly at the weekend. Sport is definitely something to be welcomed. A number of colleagues asked for debates and I will put in requests immediately. A number of them are tied together and that might be significant with regard to maybe having a day-long debate on...
