Dessie Ellis: ...been severely curtailed for children with disabilities, especially those who have been internally displaced. Many institutions have also ended up in occupied territories and have been damaged or destroyed. How is development aid being used to support these people in these circumstances? The witnesses might give us some idea. The European disabilities fund has campaigned for a ban on...

Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: Motion [Private Members] (31 Jan 2023)

Dessie Ellis: .... The consequences of the failure to provide care to over 100 children and the failure to follow up on care for another 140 do not bear thinking about. These failures have the real possibility of destroying lives and creating obstacles to the future potential of these children, as well as negatively impacting on their employment prospects. These vulnerable children have become even more...

Dessie Ellis: ...disproportionate response of carrying out attacks on clearly identifiable civilian areas and complexes led to the deaths of at least 222 people, including 63 children.

Dessie Ellis: ...of the victim, in addition to other family members. It is not just a matter of the violence because living under the constant threat of violence is emotionally draining and stressful. Regular conflict at home destroys and destabilises families, and it can cause severe emotional harm to the children. The stress and anxiety of living in abusive relationships has caused many victims of...

Road Traffic (All Terrain Vehicle and Scrambler Motor-cycle) (Amendment) Bill 2019: Second Stage [Private Members] (8 May 2019)

Dessie Ellis: ...the Sinn Féin Bill was voted down, there have been further fatalities and injuries resulting from the illegal use of quads and scramblers. Any attempt to seize vehicles in such places will most likely result in legal challenges. In fact, if such a vehicle is seized, it will most likely not be destroyed and will be returned to the owner. We have no problem in further penalising...

Confidence in the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government: Motion [Private Members] (25 Sep 2018)

Dessie Ellis: ...have been promised but are still on the shelf. Behind all these failures and statistics are families and children facing an uncertain and dysfunctional future.

I come from social housing on a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Proposed MetroLink: Discussion (25 Apr 2018)

Dessie Ellis: ...when he started describing the plans for Na Fianna grounds and Home Farm FC's grounds. I said to him straight away, and he will remember this, "that is not going to happen, that is not going to work". I could not see any logic in it. I could not see any logic in destroying a whole community, which is what it would do, for six or seven years. If all that machinery and those works were to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Proposed MetroLink: Discussion (25 Apr 2018)

Dessie Ellis: ...outside of the Glasnevin area and north towards the M50, but will we weigh up the cost of moving a club and reinstating all of its facilities, including pitches? There is also the whole issue of destroying an entire community. That is the crucial issue at the end of the day.

Central Bank (Amendment) Bill 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (14 Feb 2018)

Dessie Ellis: ...they are strong-arming families. They are doing everything possible to prevent tracker mortgage holders getting proper redress and compensation. Through their lies and scams the banks have destroyed lives, families and communities. If the lies and scams of a person from Ballymun, Glasnevin, Finglas, Santry or Whitehall caused families to lose their homes, they would be down on them like...

Social Housing Policy: Motion [Private Members] (29 Sep 2015)

Dessie Ellis: ...housing Bill. However, we propose that the social and affordable housing provision be reinstated to the original level of 20%.

Aer Lingus Share Disposal: Motion (27 May 2015)

Dessie Ellis: ...do and the Labour Party will be punished by the people for it. Have they not yet realised that the spin is only working in Fine Gael's favour, while the Labour Party's subservience and silence are destroying it from the inside? This is the wrong deal for Ireland and Labour Party Members know it, but they do not have the courage to act on that knowledge. Fine Gael and IAG are as thick as...

Topical Issue Debate: Hospital Services (10 Feb 2015)

Dessie Ellis: ...done shortly after his tendons had been done. An assessment form was sent to him only a month ago and he still has no indication of when this procedure will be carried out. His quality of life has been destroyed, as well as his ability to work or even play with his children. I have a third case of a 79 year old woman who has been housebound because she needs a replacement knee. She...

Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (Supplementary) (9 Dec 2014)

Dessie Ellis: .... Will any of this address that point or does it apply to the maintenance of main roads, the paths and road surfaces? If any money is given to local authorities, we have issues with ramps that were destroyed over the past number of years. In the past, Dublin City Council got a stimulus to deal with it. Will any of this funding make its way to that end? Newlands Cross is an example of...

Misuse of Motor Vehicles (Public Spaces) Bill 2012: Second Stage [Private Members] (7 Mar 2014)

Dessie Ellis: ...our green areas and our public parks. They bring with them all of the same anti-social problems from the street coupled with greater potential for damage to public property. These vehicles tear up soil and destroy flower beds, pathways and other amenities. On YouTube one can find videos of the all too common and very dangerous practice of using the rear wheel of a dirt bike to spin a...

Bethany Home: Motion [Private Members] (10 Dec 2013)

Dessie Ellis: ...injustice was done and that the State had a direct involvement in the tragedies that befell the women and children. They were victims of an archaic system long since universally condemned for destroying the lives of so many of our citizens. The Minister of State knows that Bethany Home victims should have been included in the redress scheme. I rest my case.

Committee on Transport and Communications: Select Sub-Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: EU-Israel Aviation Agreement: Motion (29 May 2013)

Dessie Ellis: ...out strongly against these abuses and are fully aware of them, but we continually reward Israel with economic agreements and deals, unavailable to most states neighbouring the EU. In 2001 Israel destroyed Yasser Arafat International Airport in Gaza. The airport, run by the Palestinian Authority, opened in 1998 was bombed by the Israeli Army. The airport was built with funding from EU...

Private Members' Business. European Stability Mechanism: Motion (Resumed) (22 Mar 2012)

Dessie Ellis: ...the first and second Lisbon treaty referendums, respectively, we saw how over the top and how effective this can be. We were told that to vote "No" to these treaties was to vote to leave the EU, destroy our economy further, put everyone in the country on the dole and cast out onto a sea of uncertainty from which we would never return. We were warned that ATMs would shut down and cash...

ESB and Disposal of State Assets: Motion (20 Sep 2011)

Dessie Ellis: ...programme and accepted by the Labour Party in the programme for Government, are following almost to the letter the recommendations of Mr. Colm McCarthy. This is the man who drew up the plan to destroy the entire State, devastate communities and treat tens of thousands of people as if they were simply numbers in an accountancy exercise. He did all this for a rather tidy sum, given the...

Dublin-Monaghan Bombings: Motion (17 May 2011)

Dessie Ellis: ...co-operate in this matter. With regard to the investigation in this jurisdiction, the Barron report claimed that many of the documents relating to the Dublin and Monaghan bombings have been lost or destroyed. The inquiry was not able to see the security file on the Dublin bombings, for example, and there are no files on the UVF and UDA for 1974 and 1975, while there are files for all...

Bank Reorganisation: Statements (Resumed) (6 Apr 2011)

Dessie Ellis: ...that the protection racketeering branch of his company, Goldman Sachs, gets its pound of flesh. According to the Government we have a moral obligation to pay back these people, beggar ourselves and destroy our economy in the process. Who exactly are these noble bondholders, to whom we owe so much? There is a list on the Internet which provides the names of 80 of those who someone last...
