Seanad: Parole Bill 2016: Committee and Remaining Stages (11 Jul 2019)

Marie Louise O'Donnell: ...dealing with farmers yesterday. I have also seen it both generally and in the areas of health and housing, but it has now come to my door. I am a patron of AdVIC, and I have spent years dealing with people who have been destroyed forever by what has happened to them, but we are now coming up with legislation for offenders. I have hundreds of files about this. I want to see the same...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (18 Jun 2019)

Marie Louise O'Donnell: ...We need to think about the destruction of the natural environment and about how dependent we are on the natural environment. The recent documentary drama on Chernobyl showed what we are capable of destroying within ourselves as technology advances. The Government should think about establishing a Department where this issue could be taken extremely seriously. To give a simple example,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Threats to Native Bee Population: Discussion (12 Jun 2019)

Marie Louise O'Donnell: We are destroying our environment. I refer to plastic in the sea and the effluent recently affecting south Dublin where people cannot swim because all the poo is going into the sea, etc. Would I be crazy to say that we need a single Department for the natural environment because of the destruction that would encompass what the witnesses are talking about?

Seanad: Master Plan for the City of Dublin: Motion (24 Jun 2015)

Marie Louise O'Donnell: ...done to a city. One must plough through complete awfulness to get to the heart of Galway. Instead of extending its heart outwards, Galway closed it down to an industrialised entrance. We have completely destroyed our cities, towns and villages. The Senator spoke about what is exceptional to us. What is exceptional to us is the big hammer we took to Georgian Dublin and its...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: General Scheme of Retention of Records Bill 2015: Discussion (15 Apr 2015)

Marie Louise O'Donnell: ...they gave these testimonies confidentially. Is that not the point? If they are confidential then they should remain so. Whether people thought that meant they would be held in an archive or destroyed I do not know. I understand the need for preservation but I understood that the testimonies were made in good faith and confidentially. Perhaps I am wrong. I am not too sure the people...

Seanad: Free Speech, Homophobia and the role of the State Broadcaster: Motion [Private Members] (18 Feb 2014)

Marie Louise O'Donnell: ..., behind all of that, profanity and illiteracy. However, we want a country in which this banker can say what he said, in which he has the freedom to say it because he will - certainly by me - be destroyed by his own speech, his own prejudice and his own lack of thought. My answer would be to take my money out of his bank. He will destroy himself in the process. By his own beauty and...

Seanad: National Lottery Bill 2012: Second Stage (24 Apr 2013)

Marie Louise O'Donnell: ...private gaming consortium? I find it ironic that in the anniversary of the 1913 Lock-out a Labour Party Minister is allying himself more with the descendants of William Martin Murphy than with those of Jim Larkin. The Minister is about to destroy a lottery licence owned by the people, operated by a State agency for the Irish people, for Ireland's public good and replace it with a private...

Seanad: Child Abuse: Motion (29 Feb 2012)

Marie Louise O'Donnell: I second the motion. I thank the Minister for coming to the House. Images of children on the web being abused or in the act of abuse are real, plentiful and profoundly evil. They harm and destroy the children concerned for life. According to Interpol, 4% of these children are under two years, 20% are between three and six years, 45% are between seven and ten, and 30% are between 11 and 15...
