Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Flood Relief (23 Nov 2023)

Pat Buckley: ...and all the areas throughout east Cork devastated by the recent events? I have been contacted by a community nurse who was trying to secure a bed for an elderly lady in need after her own bed was destroyed by flooding. This elderly couple already existed in the "system", so why is a community nurse forced to seek supports elsewhere from a crisis volunteer group? I have been tasked with...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (22 Nov 2023)

Chris Andrews: ...a stone's throw of Leinster House, there are many council-owned properties and flat complexes that are in unacceptable condition. Some of the complexes were built in the thirties and they are now destroyed with dampness and mould. They have been long designated for regeneration but the process could not be moving any slower. "Glacial" is the only word that could be used to describe the...

Palestine: Motion [Private Members] (22 Nov 2023) See 7 other results from this debate

Richard Boyd Barrett: ...week saying the Israelis should not give the Gazans water and that he wanted all of them to get lice. This is sick. We have TV presenters in Israel saying on national television they are going to destroy all the Palestinians, that they are going to come after Lebanon and come after anybody who even shows sympathy with the Palestinians in the West. There is a multitude of evidence from...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Agriculture Supports (22 Nov 2023)

Denis Naughten: ...ground is dire. Our farmers have lost approximately 7,000 acres of meadow and 7,000 acres of grazing land. This flood began on St. Patrick’s Day and continued well into the summer. It has not only destroyed crops, but also forced farmers to use their silage grounds for grazing, leaving them without fodder. This crisis is not just about compensating them for the loss of fodder,...

Select Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Estimates for Public Services 2023
Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (Supplementary) (22 Nov 2023)

Michael Fitzmaurice: ...get money but I am unsure about some of the proposals on the table about areas. Either a farmer is clear or not and that is the bottom line, rather than putting areas of danger together. It would destroy farms and whoever was the genius who came up with that needs to think again. I am looking at agri-environment schemes. There is about €26 million or €27 million of an...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Importance of Airplay in Promoting Irish Music: Music and Entertainment Association of Ireland (22 Nov 2023)

Brendan Griffin: ...hear Ms Cappuccini's situation. Given the amount of work and time that must go into creating art and for it not to be appreciated or to be given the level of recognition it deserves must be soul destroying. I hope Ms Cappuccini keeps at it. I was doing a small bit of research before the meeting. I have not listened to "A Bun Dance" yet but this afternoon when I go back to my office to...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (21 Nov 2023)

Mattie McGrath: ...have their calves born this year as normal, as they expected to be able to do when they put the animals in calf. It is shocking, especially in light of the world food situation, that we would be destroying our animals here. In fairness to farmers, they need certainty. As I said, when they made decisions about next year's animals, they had no notion that the derogation was going to be...

Richard Boyd Barrett: ...convention requires states to do absolutely everything in their power to prevent a genocide taking place.

...and Darfur, where I am, in the west, both areas where Concern has been working for years. The level of destruction has been brutal, with homes looted and burned to the ground, schools and colleges destroyed and livelihoods wiped out. Across the country, WHO estimates that 70% of all heath facilities are not functioning. Our own assessment of the 84 heath facilities that are supported by...

Protection of Children (Online Pornographic Material) Bill 2020: Second Stage [Private Members] (16 Nov 2023)

Peadar Tóibín: ...;That the Bill be now read a Second Time.” As the Minister will be aware, Ireland has become a very violent place in recent times. Sexual violence is increasing at a shocking rate and lives are being destroyed day in, day out, in Irish society. In 2011, 1,958 sexual offences were recorded whereas that figure had increased by 75% to 3,433 in 2021. In 2011, 447 rapes were recorded...

Health (Termination of Pregnancy Services) (Safe Access Zones) Bill 2023 (Bill 54 of 2023): Report and Final Stages (15 Nov 2023)

Mattie McGrath: ...he and its members have the necessary powers, but we want to be leaders in preposterous legislation. On the other hand, we will be shouting about Gaza and voting for freedom of expression and rights while we want to destroy and diminish rights. P.H. Pearse and the men of 1921 and 1923 fought for the freedom of this country, and this is the kind of freedom we want. It is outrageous.

Ceisteanna - Questions: Trade Missions (15 Nov 2023)

Leo Varadkar: ..., including terrorist organisations that wanted to bring down this State and terrorist organisations that committed terrible war crimes in Northern Ireland. I do not remember anyone ever thinking it justifiable to destroy a whole hospital because there might be a terrorist in it.

Richard Boyd Barrett: ...; That has been the entire history of the state, which is one of ethnic cleansing, apartheid and occupation. I ask the Taoiseach why he says this state is defending itself when it is clearly involved in a genocidal war to destroy the Palestinian people. I ask the Taoiseach again - I asked him this before - if a regime built on ethnic cleansing, apartheid and illegal occupation has...

Leo Varadkar: ...light of what has happened to interconnectors, gas pipes and telecommunication terminals around Europe in the past year or so, we have had to revisit our policy because we have seen gas pipelines destroyed and damaged, not just in Denmark but also between Estonia and Finland. We believe that reliance on the interconnector from the UK is too big a risk and a risk we have to mitigate. ...

Imposing Sanctions on Israel: Motion [Private Members] (15 Nov 2023) See 2 other results from this debate

Joan Collins: ...said there would be no place for the Palestinian Authority in Gaza after this campaign. There is clearly no intention from Israel to allow unified authority or a two-state solution. Its bombs are destroying any hope of this as we speak. This is the time to recognise Palestine. While I support the Government's call for an immediate ceasefire, words are not good enough any more. We...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (15 Nov 2023)

Mary Fitzpatrick: ...in this House will make much difference to people who are so detached from basic human values so we need to stop this false debate. It is insulting to the people whose real humanity is being attacked and destroyed. We need to recognise that there are methods and ways of dealing with such atrocities and to ensure that our Government does everything in its power to exercise those powers....

David Stanton: ..., and we have all seen the pictures from the town. We are extraordinarily lucky that nobody died. Some people were washed away during that storm. Many people had their livelihoods and homes destroyed. It will take a long time to pick up the pieces. There is a concern that this might happen again. One of the issues that local people who have lived in the area all their lives have...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Future Licences and Contracts to Connect Data Centres to the Gas Network: Discussion (15 Nov 2023) See 1 other result from this debate

Timmy Dooley: ...in communities, I am concerned that a little bit of that is creeping into the debate on data centres. There is an effort by some to portray data centres as the bad child, something that is destroying our capacity to meet our need for electricity, and there is a failure to recognise what would seem obvious to most, which is that data centres are what filing cabinets were in the 1960s and...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Local Government (Mayor of Limerick) Bill 2023: Committee Stage (15 Nov 2023)

Maurice Quinlivan: ...integrity of the position is maintained. The concern we have is that the legislation allows for somebody to be elected and to delegate all the functions and have a second job as well. That would destroy not just the position of the directly elected mayor in Limerick but the potential for it to be rolled out in other local authorities if they were to see that happen in Limerick. That is...

Thomas Pringle: ...Taoiseach two weeks ago. He dismissed my concerns at the time, and the numbers have doubled since then. A Trócaire staff member who is in Gaza with three young children stated: My home is now destroyed. We haven’t electricity, internet or water. Please do something for us. Put pressure on your government and the whole world to do something. We need to put pressure on...
