Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...burial sites so one can start multiplying the number of national monuments we have. It makes the job a lot more difficult but not impossible. It is about trying to capture that people understand that it is not theirs to destroy or charge fees to visit and the history that goes with all of these monuments should be shared as much as possible. That might mean access to the site by...

Gas (Amendment) Bill 2023: Second Stage (Resumed) (27 Sep 2023) See 1 other result from this debate

Mattie McGrath: ...Kerry was going to be put forward, but then he, with his colleagues, signed up to a deal with Fine Gael and, at the behest of the Green Party, put it into a statutory statement and sent word to Europe that they were going to destroy it. They have destroyed it and that is an act of sabotage. I would call it nearly treason. We are depending on a pipeline bringing gas from England and God...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Just Transition (27 Sep 2023)

Paul Murphy: ...A woman, who was in touch with me, is the parent of four children, all of whom have disabilities. She also has a disability. She said that the assessment process would be dehumanising and soul-destroying to try to prove that you and your children are "disabled enough" to get the support needed. If the Government is genuinely concerned about persons who are long-term sick, it should...

Paul Murphy: ...combination of sewage and agricultural run-off, commercial sand dredging, climate change and invasive species is responsible. Ecosystems that have thrived for hundreds of thousands of years have been destroyed by the profiteering of modern capitalism. Pollution knows no borders and the same destruction is happening in the South. Some 45% of our water bodies are in an unsatisfactory...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Water Services (26 Sep 2023)

Mattie McGrath: ...also has none of the spin we have around here. These water issues are costing businesses and householders. It is costing businesses thousands in additional costs and lost revenue. There is also the cost of equipment that is destroyed when the water goes off without the business being made aware. They have been forced to close due to the lack of water. Walking up the street in...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (26 Sep 2023) See 1 other result from this debate

Peadar Tóibín: Today, thousands of early years education and childcare workers went on strike and protested outside the Dáil. They did this because their sector is being destroyed by the Minister, Deputy O'Gorman. He is literally closing down childcare services in this State. He actually said the strike was unwarranted. Is it not a bit rich for a Minister on a salary of €183,000 per year to...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (26 Sep 2023)

Tim Lombard: ...it is lodged. I walked a 62-acre field of oats last Sunday that was not three inches tall. Maybe four or five weeks ago, this crop was the bones of 4 feet high. It has been bent over, tossed and destroyed. These farmers paid huge conacre prices and had high input costs at the start of the year because fertiliser prices were through the roof. They will lose their shirt in the next few...

Local Government (Mayor of Limerick) Bill 2023: Second Stage (20 Sep 2023)

Maurice Quinlivan: ...and influence. It certainly is not a beacon of progress that other local authorities will wish to aspire to. It has the hallmarks of the County and City Management Association all over it and has destroyed the potential of a truly democratically elected local mayor of Limerick with devolved responsibilities, someone who would have made a change for the better. As we start, it is one-nil...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Citizens Assembly Report on Biodiversity Loss: Discussion (19 Sep 2023)

..., if I can put it that way. In the past, many chemicals would have been used and so forth. I am aware of the animals around also but they also do damage. I have a photograph on my phone where a fox destroyed a whole section of my lawn. I could not even figure out what had damaged it but apparently it was a fox because my next door neighbour told me it was. It is about becoming...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Water Quality Monitoring Report: Discussion (19 Jul 2023)

...grass-based system. The Chairman understands that better than anybody. What we have is unique. If we look at the system across Europe, it is mainly an indoor system. We are running the risk of destroying our Origin Green reputation where we market our dairy produce in 130 countries right around the world. Our exports from agriculture are going to 180 countries right around the world....

Joan Collins: ...resist the cleansing and oppression going on in Palestine. There can be no more playing both sides on this and no more condemning both sides like this is an equal struggle. We have watched Israel destroy the possibility of a one-state solution and even the possibility of a two-state solution, whatever that meant. We are now watching Israel destroy any chance of peace and any chance of...

Seanad: Wildlife (Amendment) Bill 2016: Motions (13 Jul 2023)

Seán Kyne: ...there was a small bit of NHA, if this could be de-designated to assist in improving visibility, sightlines and safety, for example. These were the sort of suggestions mentioned. It was not about destroying whole sections of NHAs but being able to re-designate, change the boundaries slightly and perhaps designate another area to compensate for an area removed. This was the basis of the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Defective Block Scheme Regulations and Review of IS 465: Discussion (13 Jul 2023)

Pádraig Mac Lochlainn: ...done to people's lives. I live in Buncrana. I look to my right-hand side outside my house and I see the quarry that was predominantly responsible for all the homes. People's lives have been utterly destroyed. People of my generation were good, honest people who built their own homes. We did what we were supposed to do, which is work hard, pay our taxes and build our homes. Their...

Criminal Justice (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2022: From the Seanad (12 Jul 2023)

Helen McEntee: ...any evidence. There are four other sections of the Act that permit a superior officer to sign off an application for data in urgent cases. This would apply if there were immediate risks of data being destroyed or a risk to life, national security or a criminal investigation. The superior officer must apply to a judge within 72 hours of affirmation of an urgent order. The judge reviews...

Richard Boyd Barrett: ...far-right regime in Israel that is saying it has no intention of giving a just settlement or doing any kind of deal with the Palestinians. It is out to wipe out the Palestinians, steal their land and destroy their lives. We tolerate it because certain of our so-called allies are allies of Israel. The United States backed them to the hilt. Biden backs them to the hilt. Germany backs...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (12 Jul 2023)

Mattie McGrath: ...days or maybe months. This will have a huge impact; not to mention the impact of putting in place a pipeline to Dublin. It is a mad, daft and silly project. Will the Government derail it before it destroys Ardnacrusha? The only purpose of the project is to put water into leaky pipes in Dublin? Fix the pipes. Leave us alone in Tipperary. Stop this madness.

Leo Varadkar: ..., about seven years, during which almost no new homes were built in this State. This followed a financial crash when the Government was broke, the banks were bust and the construction industry was destroyed. Two thirds of construction workers had to leave the country. This is why we have a huge deficit of housing that we have this State. This Government, and the one before it and...

Fintan Warfield: ...The Israeli Government's military bombardment of the Jenin refugee camp caused the deaths of 12 Palestinians, five of whom were children. Thousands of people were forced to leave their homes. It destroyed roads, electricity and water services. The Israeli Government outrageously managed to make refugees out of refugees. The views of the United Nations are that the military force used...
