Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade: Syrian Conflict: Discussion with Minister of State at Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (16 Oct 2013)

Joe Costello: ...long the Israelis knew it was there or what function it was going to serve. What is life like in Gaza? I would have thought that life was worse when I was there after Operation Cast Lead, which destroyed so many buildings. At one factory, one could see where the tyres of the tanks had destroyed the equipment after the factory had been blown up. They also made sure that all the...

Written Answers — Department of Health: National Newborn Screening Programme (12 Mar 2013)

James Reilly: ...the mother to have her new born child screened, retention of the newborn screening card for ten years and the retention of information on those cards for twenty five years. It was also agreed to destroy existing cards that are older than ten years. It must be remembered that there is no written consent from parents for the retention or use of these newborn screening cards taken between...

National Asset Management Agency Bill 2009: Second Stage (16 Sep 2009)

Richard Bruton: Once one decides to pay hope value instead of market value, one destroys the concept of fairness. It implies that taxpayers are being forced to pay more for what they are getting than what they ought to pay. That approach destroys the concept of fairness. There is plenty of international evidence to show that the state is not good at running asset recovery. When political objectives are...

Public Accounts Committee: Comptroller and Auditor General Special Report No. 89
Internal Control in County Cork Vocational Education Committee (9 Jul 2015)

John McGuinness: Thank God for that. Otherwise, it would have still gone on. That is the issue at stake. Right through all of this, I see individuals and families being destroyed and reputations being destroyed, supported by State money, because that is what was going on. People were reaching out for the legal eagles to delay the process. Not only that, but we find that someone has been highlighting the...

Seanad: Work Life Balance and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2022: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (1 Mar 2023)

Roderic O'Gorman: ...an amendment to take account of the position outlined by Senator Higgins. It was very much the view that the requirements of the general data protection regulation, GDPR, mean an employer must destroy records when it no longer has a legal basis for holding them. That is now the position under EU and domestic law. We believe that is the position that will apply under this legislation....

Wildlife (Amendment) Bill 2010: Second Stage (Resumed) (29 Jun 2010)

Pádraic McCormack: .... In his address the Minister referred to domestic deer. If he were really serious about wildlife, in which I am as interested as he is, he would take steps to eliminate the escaped mink that are destroying every aspect of wildlife throughout the country. The poor old deer never destroyed anything but I do not know why the Minister wants to protect them to the exclusion of protecting...

Seanad: Immigration Bill, 2002: Committee Stage (Resumed). (19 Dec 2002) See 1 other result from this debate

...could lawfully enter the State? What happens to somebody with a genuine case who is undocumented? Let us not pretend that all asylum seekers carry documents because they do not. Sometimes they destroy their documents, either to test or break the law. Many of the people who streamed out of Kosovo during the war had no ID cards because they had been destroyed by the Serbian army to make...

Leaders' Questions (19 Nov 2015)

Thomas Pringle: As I speak, these vessels are destroying the livelihood of an Irish fisherman from County Donegal, who depends on the gear he has at sea to try to feed his family and keep his vessel going. It would be a simple matter for the Government to tell the Naval Service to intervene with that vessel and to stop it from destroying the livelihoods of Irish fishermen. This is happening as I speak....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Firearms Licences: Working Group on the Review of Firearms Licensing (17 Dec 2014)

Mr. Fergus Healy: We have an arrangement with a company to destroy them. A significant number of guns have been handed in by people who no longer want to license them. In some cases families have guns belonging to deceased relatives and family heirlooms. There is a provision whereby these guns can be decommissioned, and a superintendent can issue an authorisation to deal with them. The...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Farm Costs (15 Feb 2022)

Mattie McGrath: ...to farmers. The chairman of the agriculture committee is sitting behind the Minister of State. He knows this. The Green Party is codding Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael. It is shocking. It is destroying agriculture, and destroying Ireland for that matter. We will take decades to recover. Credit unions are trying to bail out farmers and give them loans to buy the fertiliser but what...

Seanad: Circular Economy, Waste Management (Amendment) and Minerals Development (Amendment) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (30 Jun 2022)

Ossian Smyth: It is a shocking practice where a commercial company, retailer or Internet retailer takes perfectly good consumer goods from a shelf and puts them straight into landfill or destroy them because they have calculated that they will get a better return on investment or a higher profit by actually destroying working consumer goods. The EU has agreed a general approach to that and an anti-dumping...

Seanad: Report on Dublin and Monaghan Bombings: Motion. - Defamation: Statements. (10 Dec 2003) See 3 other results from this debate

...crimes often have, as a matter of practice, their names, addresses and occupations printed in newspapers and they may be found not guilty. What happens then? That man or woman's reputation is destroyed forever. It should not be legal to print the name of an accused person until he or she is convicted because the printing of the name is part of the punishment. The argument is that it should...

Mary Coughlan: ...information technology equipment is disposed of in the following ways. Non-reusable equipment is sent for destruction by shredding and crushing with hard drives being removed and individually destroyed.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: State Examinations Commission: Engagement with Chair-Designate. (24 Jun 2015)

Billy Timmins: ...the opportunity to look at it. Only a certain percentage look for a re-check. After the re-check it is sent back up to the Department and even if a student does not ask for a recheck it is destroyed somewhere in the Department. I cannot see the worry about it being destroyed in transit as it has been transported up and down already. If a grade A student, who will not look for a...

Written Answers — Garda Complaints Procedures: Garda Complaints Procedures (22 Apr 2009)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...Justice, Equality and Law Reform if his attention has been drawn to the fact that all files relating to complaints deemed finalised by the Garda Complaints Board up to and including 2005 have been destroyed; the considerations that preceded the decision by the Garda Complaints Board to destroy all the files; if the statutes of limitations, the fact that related cases remain sub judice and...

Written Answers — Magdalene Laundries: Magdalene Laundries (19 Jan 2010)

Dermot Ahern: ...to St. Mary Magdalen Asylum, Sean McDermott Street, Dublin and I will be happy to allow access to them in the normal way.

Seanad: Order of Business (26 Mar 2013)

Ivana Bacik: .... Senator Norris and others have spoken eloquently on this matter in the past week or so. I wish to express my great relief that the Minister for Health, Deputy Reilly, has ordered the HSE not to destroy the Guthrie card records, or newborn heel-prick blood samples, a matter that other Senators and I raised in this House in recent weeks. On the basis of data protection concerns, the HSE...

Michael McDowell: ...herbal cannabis are stored in secure conditions at Garda headquarters in the Phoenix Park. When no longer required as evidence or in the event of no prosecution, all high volume drug seizures are destroyed under the supervision of the Garda technical bureau. Smaller seizures of drugs are destroyed at district level, under the supervision of an inspector.

Seanad: Order of Business (7 Jul 2016)

Paul Coghlan: It seems strange that five cattle had to be destroyed in the manner they were. However, contrary to what Senator Ó Clochartaigh stated, it was to prevent these cattle from entering the food chain; it had nothing to do with repossession. We all have our views on repossessions. Repossession should obviously only be used be a last resort when all other avenues have been explored. In...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (2 Dec 2020)

Matt Carthy: ...tactic on the part of Government. This week we learned that deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon surged in the past year. Over the past 12 months a total of 11,000 sq. km of forest have been destroyed. Most of this forest is destroyed to make way for beef ranches. That beef is expected to supplement or remove Irish beef from supermarket shelves across Europe if the EU Mercosur...
