Select Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Estimates for Public Services 2024
Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (Revised) (31 Jan 2024)

Michael Ring: ...before. There is an extra burden now from the red tape, not that Brussels is great at it. I was glad to see French farmers out. Maybe it is time Irish farmers came out because they are all destroyed with red tape. They are not able to farm. It is red tape, filling in forms, trying to keep to regulations and everyone on top of them trying to make them make a mistake. I see it with...

Local Government (Mayor of Limerick) Bill 2023: Second Stage (Resumed) (20 Sep 2023)

Michael Ring: Go away, Sinn Féin. You have destroyed the country. Liz Truss-----

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....

Select Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Animal Health and Welfare (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2021: Committee Stage (15 Dec 2021)

Michael Ring: ...worked hard on trying to get the licences approved. My point is simple. If the Minister and his officials are bringing this scheme in and they are serious about it, they should not let it be destroyed before it starts by virtue of the way they draw it up. That is the only thing I ask.

Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Departmental Schemes (14 Oct 2021)

Michael Ring: ...scheme especially for upgrades and for putting security cameras into some of these playgrounds. Security cameras are vital now because, as I have said, there are people out there who just want to destroy public property. I do not know what is wrong with them. When the pandemic was on, these playgrounds really came into their own for children and their parents. I compliment the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Regulation on Veterinary Medicinal Products: Discussion (12 Nov 2020)

Michael Ring: ...that it wanted small abattoirs closed, and it succeeded. The Department paid the local authorities to have vets. All it did was break the hearts of small employers in the country. The Department destroyed them. Every time a vet came in, it would cost them so much that they had to get out of business. What did we see last year? I am not a farmer. We have seen what the bigger...

Confidence in Taoiseach, the Attorney General and the Government: Motion (22 Sep 2015)

Michael Ring: ...a Republic, yet Deputy Martin's party handed our independence over to the troika. We will take every opportunity we get to tell people in every corner of the country what the Deputy's party did in destroying this country not once or twice but three times. Fianna Fáil will not be forgiven for what it did. People are sleeping rough because of the policies of a party that condemns the...

Seanad: Adjournment Matters: Sporting Organisations (2 Dec 2014)

Michael Ring: ...one, is playing with Everton. Let me tell Members what I have seen happen to clubs in the Premiership, the investors came in and invested money, but they sold off the grounds and the fan base and destroyed the clubs. Some of these clubs in Britain were taken over by multimillionaires with multinational companies who had no real interest in football and for whom it was a part-time...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Forthcoming European Council: Discussion with Minister of State (8 May 2013)

Michael Ring: ...debate taking place in Europe on this issue and an international convention recently discussed it. If we do not take action against doping, match fixing and other types of corruption, they will destroy the entire edifice of sport. It is in everybody's interest that we seek to address them. Deputy John O'Mahony spoke about what can be done at international level in regard to doping. It...

Seanad: Adjournment Matters: Road Network (20 Nov 2012)

Michael Ring: ...Senator and I are from rural constituencies. The big issue for everybody is that of road maintenance. We need to ensure sufficient funding is available for this task because there is no point in destroying the good roads we have. We must maintain them and ensure people have proper roads on which to drive.

National Minimum Wage: Motion (14 Dec 2010)

Michael Ring: ...regulation stipulating that empty bottles must be disposed of in bags and buried for Deputy John Gormley and the Green Party. The sooner we get rid of this Government, the better because it has destroyed business and the country generally. The sooner the Government leaves office, the better because this green energy campaign is costing jobs and money in rural Ireland.

Fuel Poverty: Motion (13 Oct 2010)

Michael Ring: ...Party for bringing this motion before the Dáil. As a colleague of mine from Mayo, I am surprised at the Minister of State, Deputy Dara Calleary. The Green Party element of the Government is destroying rural Ireland and is having a serious effect, particularly on elderly people. First we had the carbon tax, followed by the PSO levy. The Fianna Fáil Party, particularly its rural...

Flood Relief (6 Oct 2010)

Michael Ring: ...I believe another report went to the National Parks and Wildlife Service today. What is going on is wrong. There were very serious floods in December 2006 and in January 2007, people's homes were destroyed and families had to relocate. We are coming into the winter and people are genuinely worried that this flooding problem cannot be resolved. I am not looking for money or for the OPW to...

Irish Language (1 Jul 2010)

Michael Ring: ...to signs being bilingual, with the place name in Irish the bigger of the two, I do not mind. This matter needs to be addressed. We are making a fool of ourselves and the countryside is being destroyed with people painting over signs displayed in Irish and this is causing problems for tourists and tourism in Gaeltacht areas. A man, a fluent Irish speaker, told me he is losing business as...

Sea Fisheries and Maritime Jurisdiction (Fixed Penalty Notice) (Amendment) Bill 2009: Second Stage (Resumed) (12 May 2010)

Michael Ring: .... I wish to put on record certain matters relating to the west. Fishing was a very lively industry at one time. However, now it is a tourism attraction because the Fianna Fáil Government has destroyed the industry. It has sold it down the drain to Europe over the years. It is outrageous that there are Spanish boats coming into our areas, taking our fish out of the country and making...

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...

Banking System: Motion (30 Mar 2010)

Michael Ring: ...are paying for Seanie FitzPatrick and the other guys in Anglo Irish Bank. They were every bit as bad in AIB. Tonight, however, a Deputy claimed we have a wonderful banking system. They destroyed the economy and the country and have put us back 100 years. I do not hear any outrage from the Taoiseach or the Green Party at the destruction of our economy or at bailing them out again even...

Social Welfare and Pensions (No. 2) Bill 2009: Second Stage (Resumed) (10 Dec 2009)

Michael Ring: ...people for the way they have left the country. They should have apologised to those on social welfare, the public service and to the people. They have never once admitted that Fianna Fáil has destroyed the country. The weak, the sick and the public service are paying for this. I am glad to see that officials from the Department of Social and Family Affairs are here tonight with the...

Financial Resolution No. 2: Excise (Mineral Oil) (9 Dec 2009)

Michael Ring: The Green Party is banging on about climate change. The US is destroying the world.

Financial Resolution No. 2: Excise (Mineral Oil) (9 Dec 2009)

Michael Ring: ...attack on the poor, the weak and the sick in society. Of course the Green Party Ministers want to save the world. They should save Ireland first and then they can save the world because they are destroying the country. They have it in the state it is in. The Ministers should go to the countries that are causing the problem. America and China would cause more trouble in five minutes...
