Thomas Pringle: ...Taoiseach two weeks ago. He dismissed my concerns at the time, and the numbers have doubled since then.

Put pressure on your government and the whole world to do something. We need to put pressure on...

Sorca Clarke: ...of us across Europe and the wider world who are graced with the protection of distance from these attacks. The deliberate targeting and killing of thousands of civilians, with the targeting and destroying of civilian infrastructure, hospitals and schools and the forced displacement of Palestinian civilians, is beyond comprehension at this point. This afternoon it was reported not only...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (14 Nov 2023)

Mairead Farrell: There is devastation in Galway. Businesses have been flooded and livelihoods completely destroyed. In Clarinbridge, business owners told me this was like nothing they had witnessed before. They are concerned and fearful that this is indicative of what is to come, perhaps even this winter but certainly in years to come. This is a massive blow to the livelihoods of the business owners and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Citizens' Assembly Report on Biodiversity Loss: Discussion (Resumed) (14 Nov 2023) See 1 other result from this debate

.... Another four are due in court next week. Beneath all of that there are a couple of hundred active files, some of which are dealt with by intervention locally. The intervention is that where something has been destroyed or damaged, the person responsible needs to restore it. That is often a swifter, more exacting response than working through the courts system. We have quite a number...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Global Humanitarian Response: United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (14 Nov 2023)

...relief assistance, which, by its nature, is a very short-term first aid response to help lives and sustain lives as well. On the broader issue of recovery and repair of everything that has been destroyed or damaged in Gaza, the assessment would generally happen after the conflict has come to an end, so that one can have a proper assessment of the extent of the damage, the cost, etc....

Post-European Council Meeting: Statements (8 Nov 2023) See 1 other result from this debate

Catherine Connolly: ...army that is out of control and we need to call it out for what it is. We have lost 89 UNRWA staff and 37 journalists and people in media. That has been done by Israel, which is going in to destroy Hamas and in doing so it is destroying the Gazan and Palestinian people. I do not know how we can hedge our bets on that. I do not know how we can use nuanced language. Genocide is...

Frances Black: ...wall. What is worse is that settlers have engaged in a co-ordinated campaign of violence against Palestinians. They are often escorted by soldiers as they rampage through Palestinian villages, destroying buildings and olive trees, stealing livestock and agricultural equipment and vandalising water tanks, pipes and solar panels.Settlers have murdered at least a dozen Palestinians in the...

Seanad: Garda Síochána (Recording Devices) Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (8 Nov 2023)

Lynn Ruane: ...for selective use of body cams or the legislation will be toothless and we will be in the exactly the same position as the UK. The legislation, as drafted, creates specific penalties for destroying data collected by a body cam but it does not create any penalties for selectively turning on and off body cams, which we know to be real issues from looking at other jurisdictions. On Second...

Lynn Boylan: ...spent on unsold or returned products, such as reprocessing or rebranding, affects the profit margin and, therefore, for products with small profit margins or low value, it is more lucrative to destroy them than to resell or donate them. As I said, most people would be horrified by that practice, but the scale of it is enormous. Optoro, which is an online platform that helps retailers...

Ruairi Ó Murchú: ...cannot get onto a line that goes to a pumping station, so the water literally lies in the estate. If we were to have further rain or the rains they had in the Cooley Peninsula, the estate would be destroyed. Councillor Antóin Watters and I covered a huge area. The Turf Road in Edentubber was ripped away but at least works are being planned for that. There is also Deerpark in...

...15 June. We got about a month to five weeks out of the Callows in the grazing area. The meadow areas were a total washout. We got absolutely nothing whatsoever out of those, so our land has been destroyed the whole year. We can look today at what is happening. Farmers have no fodder. The guys who were normally grazing the Callows had to put their cattle out on their silage ground...

Housing: Motion [Private Members] (7 Nov 2023)

Imelda Munster: ...numbers on the ground of people homeless and the massive increase in the cost of housing tell the real story. In my town of Drogheda, I have constituents who have spent 12 years on a housing list. It is soul-destroying for those people who are locked out of housing, yet the State is spending obscene amounts on sticking plasters such as HAP rather than funding the building of social and...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Reports (7 Nov 2023)

Ruairi Ó Murchú: ...humanitarian assistance scheme and the emergency business flood relief scheme. A request has been made to provide a scheme for farmers whose lands have been damaged and whose feedstock has been destroyed.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (7 Nov 2023)

Catherine Connolly: ...Nations has said that Gaza is becoming a graveyard for children. He said: The nightmare for Gaza is more than a humanitarian crisis. It is a crisis of humanity. I am asking for us to use our voice. We cannot wait for Europe to mature and get its act together. We need to use our voices to call for an immediate ceasefire to stop the indiscriminate bombing of civilians, hospitals and...

John McGahon: ...have been wiped away. For example, the bridge on Deerpark Road in Ravensdale does not exist anymore. Further along the road in Ballymakellett in Ravensdale, a stream flowing off it was akin to a mudslide and destroyed many homes and gardens. I must be considerate of the local authority’s response in these situations and ask why the Civil Defence and Army were not called in at any...

Pre-European Council Meeting: Statements (25 Oct 2023)

Mary Lou McDonald: ...with confidence, and by refusing to shout "stop", the international community has given it a licence to massacre the people of Gaza under the perverse pretext of defence. How can deliberately destroying hospitals be considered defence? Hospitals in Gaza are running out of the power they need to function. They are struggling to keep intensive care units going. In Gaza, incubators are...
