Accommodation for International Protection Applicants: Motion [Private Members] (21 Mar 2024)

Carol Nolan: ...social sabotage. This Government has no answers for one simple reason, it is because it does not ask the right questions and it does not listen. There is a huge disconnect. Our tourism industry is destroyed beyond repair, even though millions of euro were pumped into it. Towns like Drogheda and Roscrea now have no hotels. This is thanks to the Minister's reckless policy. Instead of...

Services for those Seeking Protection in Ireland: Statements (30 Jan 2024)

Carol Nolan: ...not being checked against a criminal database? I am concerned it is being checked against two databases that are not criminal databases. I am also concerned about our tourism industry being destroyed and the hotel beds gone out of the system. I have serious concerns and I will continue to raise them.

Immigration: Motion [Private Members] (6 Dec 2023)

Carol Nolan: ...mat to those fleeing here but, increasingly, this has resulted in this nation becoming a doormat for others to trample on with no regard for our laws or security. Just look at the thousands who arrived having destroyed their documentation. We can survive being a welcoming nation, but we cannot survive being taken for fools and having our generosity abused for another decade or more....

Nature Restoration Law and Irish Agriculture: Statements (31 May 2023)

Carol Nolan: ...not see more progress like that in this House. It seems that people have gone to the loony left and are afraid to call out and state the obvious facts. Do we want our economy and farmers' livelihoods destroyed? No, we do not.

Written Answers — Department of Justice and Equality: Travel Documents (9 May 2023)

Carol Nolan: 434. To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality the number of asylum applications for 2016 to 2022 where it has become apparent that the applicant has destroyed their travel or identity documents on arrival in Ireland; if, as a matter of Irish or international law, the destruction of travel or identity documents is a ground on which an application may be refused; and if he...

Housing and Evictions: Motion [Private Members] (21 Feb 2023)

Carol Nolan: ..., because young couples are locked out of the market. There should also be balance in terms of fairness for landlords and tenants because I am aware of landlords who have had their properties destroyed. There are good tenants and good landlords and bad tenants and bad landlords. That is an issue also. There needs to be balance and fairness.

Forestry Sector: Motion [Private Members] (24 Jan 2023)

Carol Nolan: It is time to put this Government out of its misery before it puts the forestry sector out of business. It has destroyed the country and it has absolutely sold out our sovereignty yet again.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (24 Jan 2023)

Carol Nolan: ...rescued. This clearly shows our animal welfare laws are not being obeyed and that we need a more robust regime to deal with animal welfare. We also saw the case of a sheep farmer who had 50 lambs destroyed by dogs in Moneygall in County Offaly. Will the Taoiseach commit the Government to setting up a regime that will be funded and will enforce the animal welfare laws to ensure people...

Energy Security: Statements (27 Oct 2022)

Carol Nolan: ...in the town for many years, which reluctantly closed its doors because of this situation. It is very serious and will have a detrimental effect on the local and national economies. It will destroy businesses and cripple ordinary families throughout the State. Something needs to be done. Has the Minister intervened with any of the electricity companies and, if so, will he brief us on...

Just Transition: Statements (18 May 2022)

Carol Nolan: My position on the so-called just transition has been clear since the process was announced. My major concern is that Government policy is destroying jobs by escalating a process that simply cannot and will not deliver what it promises without significant damage to local economies, particularly in Offaly and Laois. This is reckless of the Government, not least in the absence of alternatives...

Carbon Tax: Motion [Private Members] (27 Apr 2022)

Carol Nolan: ...highlighted the fact that according to an analysis conducted by the International Monetary Fund, IMF, the cost of implementing the Government's Bill will be €20 billion each year until 2030. This country will be destroyed economically. It will be ruined and there will be no recovery. I call on the Government to recognise that as a fact. That comes from the IMF, not the Rural...

National Driver Licence Service: Motion [Private Members] (2 Mar 2022)

Carol Nolan: ...that the card is illegal in terms of being required to access public services other than those of the Department of Social Protection. The Data Protection Commission has also ruled the State must destroy the 3.2 million personal records held on cardholders. Yet here we are with the NDLS overruling the Data Protection Commission. What is really going on? In this respect the NDLS has...

Written Answers — Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Agriculture Schemes (24 Feb 2022)

Carol Nolan: 460. To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if he will address concerns that farmers are having their entitlements cut when mountain fires destroy sections of their land; the reason they are unable to claim for the destroyed land when the cause of the fire was unrelated to any actions by the farmers; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10538/22]

Post-European Council Meeting: Statements (30 Jun 2021)

Carol Nolan: ...be standing up for its own people. In fact, it appears to be betraying every sector of society. We need only look at the fishermen, the farmers and the small businesses the Government has helped to destroy. In the context of the CAP reforms, what is on the table is totally unacceptable. It is causing much division in different sectors of agriculture. The Minister must step up to the...

Climate Action and Low Carbon Development (Amendment) Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages (16 Jun 2021)

Carol Nolan: ...with an ounce of common sense would see that the Minister is not in the real world, and more shame that Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael could allow this to happen to the people of rural Ireland. The Minister is destroying the midlands. Not a single job has been created. The Minister had no alternatives. The Minister would not even define what a "transition" meant and it is only...

Common Agricultural Policy: Statements (16 Jun 2021)

Carol Nolan: ...on a different planet. I cannot believe that Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil are supporting this lunacy. The Green Party obviously has a wish list but it must be reined in. What is being proposed could destroy the concept of the family farm. I support a CAP that is fair and that supports all sectors of agriculture. It cannot leave any sector behind. We know how important every sector...

Climate Action and Low Carbon Development (Amendment) Bill 2021: Second Stage (Resumed) (5 May 2021)

Carol Nolan: ...upon us. Has the Government seen the utter shambles the forestry sector is in and has been in for years? What is the solution? Is it to throw more farmers on the pile to clog up an already broken system while destroying their traditional way of life? This Bill will ensure transport is directly hit with a sector emissions ceiling. The implementation of various policy measures will have...

Civil Liability and Courts (Amendment) Bill 2021: Second Stage [Private Members] (25 Mar 2021)

Carol Nolan: .... I am tempted to say we have enough gangsters in the insurance sector without having chancers in the courtrooms too. The damage to small firms through insurance fraud is massive. It can wipe out a business financially and destroy the businessperson who has spent many hard years building the business up. Jonathan Hehir, CEO of insuremyshop.ie, said recently: Shops throughout [this]...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (21 Jan 2021)

Carol Nolan: ...on have to import horticultural peat product rather than produce it ourselves. There are echoes of the EU proposal from 2005 for the reform of the sugar industry. These were reforms that eventually destroyed the viability of sugar beet growing in Ireland and put 4,000 growers out of business. The problems now faced by the midlands are a direct result of the decision to escalate the...

Finance Bill 2020: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (3 Dec 2020)

Carol Nolan: .... There has to be personal responsibility. I believe the State needs to ease up in that regard. The Government is going much too far. The draconian measures that are in place are absolutely going to destroy rural Ireland. I come from a constituency where an unjust transition is taking place. There have been many job losses and farmers are struggling. Now the Government is trying to...
