Housing and Homelessness: Motion [Private Members] (11 Jul 2023) See 1 other result from this debate

Rose Conway-Walsh: ...in the whole of County Mayo, and most of them are out of reach and unaffordable for too many people. This is the legacy of Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael. We cannot let it become normal. Lives are being destroyed and people are living in fear. When we look at the homeless figures, there are 3,699 children and 12,441 adults those do not even show the real extent of the problem because...

Holly Cairns: ...sector. It is the perception of Irish agriculture abroad that makes it so valuable. People perceive Ireland as a country that has grass-fed cattle, looks after its animals and so on. This scandal risks destroying all that, and not addressing it risks it even more. Most farmers agree that this is damaging and that we cannot tolerate a situation in which hundreds and thousands of calves...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (11 Jul 2023)

Pippa Hackett: ...is an utterly regrettable poisoning of the debate which has been sliding in this direction for some time, ably added and abetted by some Members of the Oireachtas who say that my party's aim is to destroy agriculture. To them, I say, "Grow up." This is a culture war being waged for political and electoral gain and it must stop. If we cannot restore nature through agriculture, we will...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Engagement with the Reserve Defence Force Representative Association (11 Jul 2023)

Gerard Craughwell: ...of the unit and there are no age restrictions or anything. We put the RDF through hell and back. To think that over 1,000 people applied to be called up and only 5% got through. It must be soul-destroying for the association representatives. It is totally unacceptable the Secretary General of the Department has not replied to them. A Secretary General is obliged to make contact and...

Ruairi Ó Murchú: ...This is not about cutting down every tree. It is about replacing them with trees that are more fit for purpose in these areas, trees that are not going to hit the sewerage system and block it or destroy the foundations of people's homes and create huge levels of nuisance value. That is something that needs to be built into that work, alongside the work that has to be done on the wider...

Matt Carthy: ...were murdered by Israeli forces; five of them were children. Thousands were forced from their homes - which are in refugee camps, by the way. When they returned, many of those homes had been destroyed, water and electricity services were cut and roads had been bombarded. Israel had managed to make refugees out of refugees. For years, in defiance of UN resolutions, the Israeli...

Roderic O'Gorman: ...Adoption Authority Of Ireland and Tusla, are undertaking work to provide replies to all other applicants under the scheme.

Verona Murphy: .... Within minutes there were scenes of flooding along the quay and 2 ft of water swept through Wickham Bros. butchers and The Holy Grail restaurant, to name just two businesses. The storm has also destroyed the crop yield for local farmers. In November last I requested a number of times that the Taoiseach would visit the areas devastated by the tornado but he declined each time. Now it...

Nature Restoration Law: Motion [Private Members] (5 Jul 2023)

Holly Cairns: ...that are arguing so strongly against them at the EU. This narrative being created around rewetting proposals in the Bill, whereby the Government will acquire private lands by compulsory purchase order, CPO, or destroy farmland, is not backed up by fact. Rather, the nature restoration law has the potential to be transformative. It will provide new funding streams for farmers to ensure...

Lynn Boylan: ...The Bill is a necessary step in the context of addressing this. The Bill states that producers, importers and distributors of new non-food products intended for sale but that remain unsold are forbidden from destroying or dumping such items. Instead, they are required to take proactive measures to reuse these products. One way to achieve this is by donating them to charities, NGOs,...

A5 Route Upgrade: Motion [Private Members] (4 Jul 2023)

Pearse Doherty: .... We need to speak with one voice brought together by all of the victims who have spoken out and given us their experiences of what this road has done to them. They have told us how this road has destroyed their families and caused so much pain, hurt and anger. It is for us in this House, right across the political spectrum, to say "enough is enough" and that we are as committed as the...

James O'Connor: ...very lucrative contracts, has been despicable. If I were to use one word following last week's proceedings of the Committee of Public Accounts, it would not be "anger" but "upset" at seeing careers being destroyed by the contents of that meeting, and the reputation of some of our most well-known broadcasters in the State being tarnished, unfortunately. It was not pleasant and the sad...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (4 Jul 2023)

Frances Black: ...deployed the cruel and illegal tactic of impeding ambulance services from aiding the wounded. I cannot stop thinking about the children being marched down the street, their already meagre homes destroyed, carrying their toys, their pets and whatever small comforts they have to hold onto. In Israel war crimes are committed and Palestinians are killed as a form of political theatre to prop...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Engagement with Representatives of Church in Chains (4 Jul 2023)

...other religions. In early May ethnic rioting started in Manipur state, in north-east India, leaving at least 100 people, mainly Christian, dead and more than 300 injured. Over 300 churches have been destroyed, which shows that the violence has a religious component. I am from India so I get the news daily about the kind of persecution there. Pastors are beaten and imprisoned, churches...

Vincent P Martin: ...to be happy to have no transparency in the Circuit Criminal Court but they want transparency in the context of someone vindicating their reputation in circumstances where damage to the latter could destroy their livelihood.

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Environmental Policy (29 Jun 2023)

Lynn Boylan: ...the OPW actually broke the law numerous times and was never held to account. In another investigation which is particularly relevant to the Arterial Drainage Act, the Irish Wildlife Trust found that the OPW destroyed a kilometre of the Newport river in County Tipperary, a part of the lower River Shannon special area of conservation. Again, it faced no sanction whatsoever. There are...

Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation and Expenditure of Public Moneys by RTÉ: Discussion (29 Jun 2023)

Verona Murphy: ...did nothing wrong, its actions do not support that position. Tubridy no longer presents his programme. In my view, the act of taking Ryan Tubridy off air was wrong. It has compounded the controversy, while at the same time it destroyed his reputation, in the scapegoating. It was ill advised and should only have been done with the approval of the board. It is as plain as a pikestaff to...
