Neutrality: Motion [Private Members] (25 Oct 2023)

Mattie McGrath: ...this topic, on which I listened to her speak many times here. I put it to an tAire Stáit that this motion is very important. Since the outbreak of the Ukraine war, we have diminished, damaged and almost destroyed our neutrality and our record. We have had this debate previously and the Minister of State got annoyed with me. The Tánaiste has said our neutrality is an...

There were 11 power stations hit affecting more than 2 million people; 18 water stations are out of service; two hospitals destroyed; 48 educational sites hit; three industrial facilities out of service and 44 people killed. I am not referring to the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people which I...

Regina Doherty: ...serious a number of crimes as we were indicating. That has come full circle because of the number of people who have come forward, not least of whom is a young lady in my own hometown whose life has been destroyed by the experience she went through. It has also affected her parents, her family and her friends. When the Minister talks about the lack of confidence in being able to engage...

Seanad: The Political Situation in Northern Ireland: Statements (25 Oct 2023)

Frances Black: ...to please proceed on this vital issue. Ireland has an ironclad case, and interstate legislation would save victims' families huge amounts of struggle and heartbreak. Nobody can understand what it is like for those victims and this legacy Bill is absolutely soul-destroying for them. The Government now has a wonderful opportunity to demonstrate practical and tangible solidarity and it is...

Colm Burke: ...on Monday and his wife is 79. They have been living in their house for 40 years and never had flood damage in their lives. The house was never previously affected by floods. Everything has been destroyed. There was 2 ft of water in the house. I was with them at 5 p.m. on Saturday and it was devastating to see the damage caused to the beds and all the furniture. One problem with a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine's Response to Ash Dieback: Limerick and Tipperary Woodland Owners (25 Oct 2023)

...in the future but everybody is different. As Mr. White said, for some people this may mean a return to farmland depending on their circumstances. What can be grown on land that has been destroyed by ash is a question. We will not be giving up this campaign. If we have to, we will come back again. Our views will be heard. I urge the Minister to take heed of us and to think forward to...

Gerard Craughwell: ...is caught driving over a particular speed or under the influence of drugs or alcohol or uninsured, the vehicle should be taken from them and crushed. It should be sent to the local scrap yard and destroyed because if you do not have a vehicle you cannot drive over the speed limit or under the influence of alcohol or drugs. We should be far less tolerant. If you crush one or two cars in...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Social Welfare Schemes (24 Oct 2023)

Paul Murphy: ..., divide and rule of people on disability payments. Those on disability payments are very scared of this. One woman who contacted me said that the assessment process was dehumanising and soul-destroying, particularly the idea of proving that a person and their children are "disabled enough" to get the support needed. I do not understand that as, if the Minister says that she wants to...

Health Service Funding: Motion [Private Members] (24 Oct 2023) See 1 other result from this debate

Paul Murphy: ...mean a worse health service, to rein in a profligate Minister. If the rest of the Government does not have confidence in the Minister for Health, they should act to remove him, rather than undermine and destroy our health service. I think the deeper reason is that it suits the mainstream narrative of Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael to go along with the idea the health service is some...

Finance (No. 2) Bill 2023: Second Stage (Resumed) (24 Oct 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...been doing, what it is doing and what it will continue to do while leaving the Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan, directing what to do. The whole country is up in arms about flooding. Businesses have been ruined and destroyed. The Government will have to realise that if we do not clean out rivers and gullies people will be flooded. There has been building on flood plains, as was done in...

Richard Boyd Barrett: ...responsible. Before 7 October, Netanyahu appeared in front of the UN General Assembly with a map of Israel that had removed all references to Palestine. It was a clear declaration of intent to destroy the Palestinian people and steal all their land. A total of 6,000 Palestinians were killed between 2008 and 7 October this year. Thousands of Palestinians are held hostage, without trial,...

Christopher O'Sullivan: ...take what she has experienced over the past week back to the Ministers concerned. I again stress the urgency of the situation. Businesses and livelihoods have been lost. Family homes have been destroyed. We need to have an open debate here on insurance. Mallow was protected. Fermoy had a flood scheme that protected it, as did Douglas. Many of the houses and businesses in these areas...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Early Childhood Care and Education (24 Oct 2023)

Michael Collins: ...for an exact breakdown of all expenditure from the Department to funding recipients. The Minister has ducked and weaved and has not given this exact breakdown. However, every effort has been made to destroy the private early childcare providers, putting them out of business in west Cork and elsewhere. The Department is demanding a validated financial return which must be submitted by...

...at the minute, the only cost that one pays is having to take down those trees. Would it not be good to say that while the car park cost nothing, it caused €100 million in value in woodland to be destroyed and that woodland took 200 years to grow? I want that minus €100 million, or whatever, to be in the spreadsheet. It is hard to value. It is intangible. I go back to...

Pat Buckley: ...east Cork do not have insurance because they were not afforded it after four major flooding incidents that have occurred since 2015 or January 2016. What happens to all those vehicles that were destroyed in this flood? How can people replace them? Is there a special insurance fund that covers these events? Can the Minister of State guarantee that the Government will leave no stone...

Gary Gannon: ...playing in the park, leading to the exclusion of various age groups at least biweekly. Since the turn of 2023, there have been three separate occasions when the pitches in Fairview Park have been destroyed by scrambler motorbikes or stolen cars, an issue I know the Cathaoirleach Gníomhachhas been raising since we were both members of Dublin City Council. We cannot talk about sporting...

Investment in Healthcare: Statements (19 Oct 2023)

Stephen Donnelly: ...our eyes off the Russian murderers who have deliberately targeted healthcare workers, patients and health facilities in Ukraine. According to the Ukrainian health minister, Russian forces have destroyed around 180 hospitals and damaged more than 1,200 hospitals. They have shot up more than 350 ambulances. These deliberate attacks are utterly repugnant. They violate international law...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (19 Oct 2023)

Michael Collins: Flooding in the past few days has left many parts of County Cork devastated. People's homes and businesses and roads have been destroyed. Areas such as Glandore, Rosscarbery, Clonakilty and Castletownbere have been badly hit once again. Areas such as Midleton, I was told this morning, are like a disaster zone, with a shortage of professional help from anyone, leaving locals having to do...
