Seanad: Climate Action and Low Carbon Development Act 2015: Statements (29 Nov 2017)

Shane Ross: ...another heading. I have had two significant meetings with rural transport interests, one of which took place last Monday. This is important to the preservation of rural society in order that it is not destroyed or damaged by other legislation. However, those interests must recognise that if we increase rural transport, they must make sure that we do not significantly increase emissions...

Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill 2017: Second Stage (14 Nov 2017)

Shane Ross: ...alcohol limit. There is no requirement to prove impairment. One of the big controversies in 2010 was that the alcohol limit was being lowered. We were told this was excessive and that it would destroy social life in the country. It was not and it has not. On the contrary, lower alcohol limits have contributed to saving lives and have helped to impress on people the dangers of drinking...

Other Questions: Airport Development Projects (14 Jun 2016)

Shane Ross: ...and the effect it will have on the residents of the area is something I will raise as a priority. I said in my earlier response that I do not regard it as the right of a State monopoly simply to destroy or damage the lives of individual citizens or groups of individual citizens because it is more powerful. It is only fair that, as the argument is weighted very strongly in favour of the...

Corporate Tax Policy: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (7 Oct 2015)

Shane Ross: ...type of culture from which it would be difficult to disengage. We had to accept them and, indeed, I suppose an indication of that was that when multinationals did withdraw, whole communities were destroyed. Employment in towns and villages was decimated and they left a hole which in certain instances has never been filled. They are here to stay under certain circumstances and...

National Treasury Management Agency (Amendment) Bill 2014: Second Stage (Resumed) (29 May 2014)

Shane Ross: ...with which few people disagreed at the time. He did not take in the capacity of his successors, when faced with the first possible emergency, huge political embarrassment and a national crisis, to destroy the idea.

Pensions and Retirement Lump Sums: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (7 Nov 2012)

Shane Ross: ...there is a perception that Members are feathering their own nests. It is as much the Minister's responsibility as it is that of Members to spike this perception. I ask the Minister not to interrupt or to destroy ideas of this sort. He should not set up a body of quangos to revert with a similar position. I ask the Minister to treat all Members equally. I ask him to propose that...

Personal Insolvency Bill 2012: Second Stage (Resumed) (18 Jul 2012)

Shane Ross: They could opt not to accept this. At this stage, the borrower will take the option which the Government has handed him or her, which is to destroy himself or herself in the process. That is the ultimate weapon the borrower has. The Bill is disappointing. I congratulate the Minister and the Government on the intent behind the Bill. They genuinely would like to sort out the problem. The...

I ask the Minister of State to think again about what is happening as a result of...

Recent Developments in the Eurozone: Statements (5 Oct 2011)

Shane Ross: ...suggest the economy will achieve growth this year and next year, Irish growth is threatened with destruction. As an IMF spokesman stated today, the Irish recovery, for what its worth, will be destroyed if there is another contraction in Europe. Such a contraction is taking place. Let us not congratulate ourselves because we are at the mercy of growth elsewhere. I read in the Financial...

Seanad: Strategic Development Zones (15 Oct 2009)

Shane Ross: ...On environmental grounds, it would be a very dangerous step to permit this last remaining valley, which has great historical significance, to be developed or, as it appears to some people's minds, destroyed in some bolt for development which is no longer necessary.

Seanad: Order of Business (24 Mar 2009)

Shane Ross: ...talks go on with the social partners before and after budgets, whether they are open or secret, and there is huge influence.

Seanad: Primary School Funding: Motion (8 Oct 2008)

Shane Ross: ...that there can be any justification for cuts of any sort next week. I met a group of primary teachers here not long ago.
