Other Questions: Foreign Policy (24 Nov 2015)

Mick Wallace: Shannon has been used as a US military air base to facilitate its military intervention in those countries, and it has destroyed them. Over 2 million citizens have been killed, and we are part of it. The Government is content to let this go on. What has this got to do with keeping peace? The Minister states that we are good at peacekeeping. We are not keeping much peace by allowing...

Seanad: Order of Business (13 Mar 2013)

Martin Conway: His latest contribution in terms of planning is apt because my county, no more than the Cathaoirleach's, has been destroyed. A county on the coast of this country with panoramic landscape has been destroyed by very badly developed and planned properties, particularly in the seaside areas. All we can do is learn from this and try to ensure that in future we do right and protect the fabric of...

Seanad: Adjournment Matters: Forestry Sector (16 Apr 2014)

Tom Shehan: I have been contacted by many private forest owners whose plantations were destroyed in the storms earlier in the year and who are not in a position to replant them. It is unfortunate that the Minister of State with responsibility for this area, Deputy Tom Hayes, cannot attend the House this evening. I am aware he had a prior engagement in Tipperary. If grants were made available for...

Post-European Council Meeting: Statements (18 Apr 2023)

Chris Andrews: ...and that they cannot keep stealing Palestinian land? When are we going to tell them that they cannot keep setting up illegal settlements? When are we going to tell them that they have to stop destroying the hopes and prospects for a peace solution? When are we going to tell them that they have to stop shooting children, destroying farms and administrative detention? When are we going...

Hospitals and schools have been flattened and 70% of housing accommodation has been destroyed. There is a lack of food, water and medicine. Israel is destroying Gaza's food system intentionally and imposing a high rate of disease, prolonged malnutrition, dehydration and...

Written Answers — Drug Seizures: Drug Seizures (12 Feb 2008)

Brian Lenihan Jnr: I am informed by the Garda Authorities that drugs coming into their possession in the course of investigations are destroyed upon the determination of court proceedings.

Seanad: Order of Business (16 Dec 2008)

David Norris: I wish to move an amendment to the Order of Business that we take No. 28, motion 31, "That Seanad Éireann condemns utterly the disgraceful action of the Government in destroying the Combat Poverty Agency [which we are doing today by the way] and the Equality Agency and the gutting of the Irish Human Rights Commission and calls on the Government to rescind these decisions." It is a shameful...

Seanad: Betting (Amendment) Bill 2013: Committee Stage (11 Feb 2015)

Sean Barrett: ...has raised very important points, which also were mentioned by Senators Michael D'Arcy and Cummins. This is an appalling addiction and whereas cigarettes and alcohol take a long time, this can destroy a family immediately. I thank Members opposite for the points they have made but between now and Report Stage, would it be possible to provide for a rule that one cannot spend more than a...

Seanad: Public Health (Alcohol) Bill 2015: Committee Stage (Resumed) (8 Nov 2017)

Simon Harris: ...'s view on this than others. I do not want too much collegiality and consensus breaking out here. I do not see the difficulty. I do not buy into the idea that the tourist experience would be destroyed by a premises that is advertising having to put in some factual warnings about alcohol. Quite a good bit of domestic tourism goes on. People might want to take their families out for the...

Seanad: Order of Business (27 Jan 2015)

James Heffernan: ...involved have no place in modern, civilised Ireland. They are animals. They are callous, murdering, sadistic animals who need to be put out of business. As Senator Mary Moran said, they are destroying people's lives. When I met the Donohoe family, it struck me that their lives had been destroyed, but it is not only their lives which have been destroyed. Adrian Donohoe was the coach of...

Energy Charter Treaty: Statements (9 Nov 2023)

Joan Collins: ...and profits. Most of that growth and those profits go to an increasingly small elite of billionaires at the top of society. Why are we not stopping to think? Why do we allow the economic system, which is destroying our planet, which caused the 2008 banking collapse and enforced austerity on all of us and which daily immiserates billions in the global south and fails to even produce a...

Flood Relief: Statements. (24 Nov 2009)

Simon Coveney: Does the Government plan to put a fund aside for infrastructure that has been destroyed as a result of increased water flow? I know, for example, that at least two bridges in County Cork have been entirely destroyed. Will the local authority have to find the funding to pay for those or will national funding be provided? In light of the volume of rainfall we had recently, will the...

Committee on Health and Children: Select Sub-Committee on Health: Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill 2013: Committee Stage (Resumed) (3 Jul 2013)

James Reilly: This area is fraught and I understand what people have said and I accept their concerns. It is, as people have pointed out, the only place where we actually refer to intentionally destroying unborn human life. That phrase is not used anywhere else in this Bill. The issue of avoidance of doubt was to not have any chilling effect from the point of view of doctors, which Deputy Boyd Barrett...

Seanad: Ban on Dumping New Products Bill 2022: Second Stage (5 Jul 2023)

Fintan Warfield: ...daily activities. This is truly shocking in 2023, when Ireland is considered one of the wealthiest countries in the world. Yet, every year, millions of items of clothing are unsold, disregarded or destroyed. This is as well as the waste associated with mining raw materials and the energy and labour that go into manufacturing the clothes, only for them to go in the bin without delivering...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Eradication of Bovine Tuberculosis: Discussion (Resumed) (16 Nov 2022)

Michael Ring: ...culls. If but one animal is reacting, the whole herd must be taken away. To me, it never made sense. The whole herd should have been tested but there was no need to take them all away and destroy them. Despite what occurs, the authorities will not destroy the badger or deer. They will not destroy what is causing a problem. This will cost about €1 billion between now and 2030....

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (17 Apr 2024)

Gerard Craughwell: ...Forces having been commissioned into the State. It is absolutely diabolical, however, that within ten years most of them will have left the Defence Forces because of the 2013 pension, which has destroyed public service. The 2013 pension was brought in by civil servants who had well-heeled pensions themselves and were well looked after by the State. They destroyed public service in this...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Cabinet Committee Meetings (19 Nov 2013)

Joe Higgins: ...to the cesspool of the markets or relying on the neoliberals of the EU and ECB is not the way forward for the economy and the people and it is a question of repudiating this massive debt that is destroying the economy and provoking the horrific austerity the Government is imposing, which will continue for years to come to destroy the livelihoods of our people and the future of young...

Flood Relief. (31 Mar 2010)

Michael Ring: ...are now waiting for clearance from the National Parks and Wildlife Service. I want the Minister of State to understand this. There is a family in that area whose house has been flooded. The water destroyed their home, and it nearly happened again in November and December last when there were serious floods in this country. People in the cities may not realise, even though they...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Humanitarian Assistance for Household Flooding: Discussion (13 Jan 2016)

Marie Moloney: ...Moreover, the information leaflet issued by the Department before Christmas containing contact numbers was helpful. I sympathise with those affected by this flooding. It is disastrous and soul destroying for a person when his or her house is destroyed. In fairness, communities, neighbours and businesses have rowed in to help, and everyone thinks there is a great sense of community in...

Fergal Browne: ...Bill. Over Easter, a group of Travellers or commercial traders arrived in Carlow town and caused chaos. We are now entering that season again. People were locked into pubs in Carlow, taxis were destroyed and Garda vehicles were set upon and destroyed. The Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform should come into the House to outline what steps he can take because this is a disgrace. I...
