Lucinda Creighton: ..., notwithstanding the contents of this worthy Bill. That is a matter of grave concern.

That is something the Minister must address urgently. A decade...

Water Services Bill 2014: Second Stage (Resumed) (5 Dec 2014)

Lucinda Creighton: ...combined support for the Government parties in a poll yesterday morning was 25%.

I can assure the House that I do not relish the rise of Sinn Féin as I believe Sinn Féin economics would bankrupt and destroy the country, but I believe the Government has no one to...

Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Select Sub-Committee on Public Expenditure and Reform: Oireachtas (Ministerial and Parliamentary Offices) (Amendment) Bill 2013: Committee Stage (27 Feb 2014)

Lucinda Creighton: ...a senior Cabinet colleague of the Minister, sadly from my party rather than the Labour Party, was threatening that the resources available to my party - I am still a member - would be used to destroy me in my constituency and my colleagues in theirs around this republic.

Lucinda Creighton: ...accept a financial transactions tax that will apply only to eurozone countries because our financial services sector is interconnected with the City of London and the United Kingdom and we would destroy our financial services sector in Dublin and elsewhere if we were to accept a financial transactions tax that would not apply in the United Kingdom. That is non-negotiable; it is a red line...

Seanad: Recent Developments in Eurozone and European Council: Statements (16 Dec 2011)

Lucinda Creighton: ...and everybody jumps on a bandwagon. Not so long ago I received e-mails from people all over the European Union and Ireland asking for a tax on financial services because they were the people who destroyed our economy and rode roughshod over Irish citizens, and that it was more than reasonable that we demand they pay 0.01% tax on certain financial transactions. Since Mr. Cameron took his...

It is impossible to understand the twisted mindset of those people, who were in positions of enormous power and who had considerable influence, and who could destroy, wilfully and knowingly, the innocence of so many young people. It is extraordinary. Apart from the perpetrators and abusers, what of the eminent bishops and other members of the church...

Public Appointments Transparency Bill 2009: Second Stage (Resumed) (23 Sep 2009)

Lucinda Creighton: ...Deputy English asked, what are Members doing here? We are here to serve the people and to make politics relevant and accountable to them. Citizens are fed up with the creeping cronyism that has destroyed public life and destroyed people's confidence in the political system. We all suffer as a result of this.
