Thomas Pringle: ...to end on 31 March, as has been outlined earlier. Healthcare workers suffering with long Covid are devastated by this news, as many rely on this support while recovering from an illness they say destroyed their lives. If the normal HSE sick leave scheme was adequate, this decision would not be so devastating. However, many of these long Covid sufferers would not qualify for critical...

Housing Targets and Regulations: Motion [Private Members] (6 Mar 2024) See 1 other result from this debate

Richard Boyd Barrett: ...at Goodbody Stockbrokers saying it a week or two ago. The latest, very ironic, news is that Michael Stanley of Cairn Homes, whose company made €667 million in revenue from these unaffordable houses, is now saying we are destroying our economy because of the housing shortage and the unaffordability of housing. This is the guy who is profiteering from the market. He is saying his...

Seanad: International Women's Day: Statements (6 Mar 2024)

Erin McGreehan: ...take a tiny grain of question and go with it and run down that rabbit hole as quickly as you possibly can to get those Twitter likes and get the videos up there as quickly as possible. It is soul-destroying. You rightly said the referendum is not about the woman's place in the home. We have to look at what the wording is. It is about a woman not neglecting her duties in the home....

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Energy Policy (5 Mar 2024)

Alice-Mary Higgins: ...to do so and we are going to do so until it finishes and shuts down. When it shuts down it will not be engaging with communities. It is clear the company's plan is to exit and leave a filthy, destroyed environment and desecrated communities. Then we will go shopping and find whatever other slightly under-the-radar, human-rights-violating place we can buy coal from. That seems to be the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Arson Attacks: Discussion (5 Mar 2024)

Dr. Shawna Coxon: I thank the committee for the invitation to meet with it this evening. Arson is a very serious crime. Not only can it destroy public or private property but there is a significant danger of loss of life. For this reason, arson carries a penalty, following conviction on indictment, of up to life imprisonment. As such, An Garda Síochána takes every arson or...

David Stanton: ...the economic and social issues. Obviously, people have to make a living. They have to go to work, school or go about their business. If the road is in rag order and their car gets damaged or destroyed beyond use, then that causes its own problems. Bridges are another issue. There are some private bridges there that are damaged very badly but also public bridges, and they are...

Seanad Public Consultation Committee: The Future of Local Democracy: Discussion (Resumed) (29 Feb 2024) See 2 other results from this debate

Eugene Murphy: ...Strokestown. It will probably get more funding than ever. It is massive funding and while many of the proposed changes are good, the beautiful, wide streets, which are such a feature of Strokestown - it has the second-widest streets in the country - will be destroyed by what council consultants said, even when the local councillors and people know it is not the right thing. That is a...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (28 Feb 2024)

Gerard Craughwell: ...for standing for a photograph. I have been a man of peace all my life. I have never wanted conflict. I support what the Civil Engagement Group is doing with respect to limiting weapons going out to destroy lives in Gaza. There is only one solution in Gaza, and that is a two-state solution. I will not be lectured by somebody who would not be in this House but for the fact that people...

Seanad: Community Safety and Investment: Motion [Private Members] (28 Feb 2024)

Gerard Craughwell: ..., specifically the pensions. She must go back to the pre-2008 pensions for uniformed services in order to encourage people to come in and to give full-life service. I am afraid the post-2013 pension has destroyed the services. That is not a pinch point. That is a stranglehold on the organisation and the organisation will die. Just as the Defence Forces have fallen apart, it will die...

Select Committee on Education and Skills: Research and Innovation Bill 2024: Committee Stage (28 Feb 2024)

Seán Sherlock: ...and a greater number of whole-time equivalents for presidents to buttress their own presidential offices, because we have seen evidence of that in the system. It is absolutely and utterly destroying morale. When universities enter a deficit situation, the people who are most affected are the ones we are trying to advocate for here. They look upwards and they do not see any kind of...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (28 Feb 2024)

Richard Boyd Barrett: ...away tragically. Approximately 15 years ago, he was giving out to me about the cutting of the grass and hedgerows on his estate, which is a council estate in Shankill, saying this was absolutely destroying the birds and the bees. He was a person who looked after birds and all of that kind of thing; he was mad into nature. He said that what we needed were urban meadows. Up until then, I...

Recent Arson Attacks: Statements (27 Feb 2024)

Seán Canney: ...attacks. I condemn such acts outright. No one who has respect for this country, law and order, gardaí, the people coming to our country and his or her community, in which those in question are destroying vital infrastructure, supports them. All of these acts are unnecessary. I listened to the earlier contributions from my office. It was mentioned that 100,000 people had come...

I thank our witnesses for being here and for advocating for all of the homeowners in each of their counties and for those who have been seriously impacted, their lives destroyed and their mental health being challenged daily. I also welcome Mr. Conor O'Donnell and thank him for his opening submission on behalf of the Mayo Pyrite Action Group. With regard to his...

Jack Chambers: ...of vehicle ownership or renewal of motor tax can be recorded. ‘Write offs’ generally refer to vehicles that have been extensively damaged and designated by insurers as being totally or substantially destroyed (Category A and B). According to the NVDF record, the vehicle in question is not recorded as a Category A or B vehicle, so there are no restrictions on the vehicle...

Claire Kerrane: ...farmers there, particularly by the Save Our Shannon Organisation, which has corresponded with the Minister about these issues. He will be well aware that from Athlone to Meelick, farmland has been destroyed by flooding and farmers are under huge pressure concerning fodder, which is costly and scarce. Will the Minister provide an update on the scheme?

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Hedge Cutting (22 Feb 2024)

Paul Daly: ...the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, so that is where I need to direct the question. As outlined in the matter I raise, under the Wildlife Act, it is an offence to cut, burn, destroy wild vegetation or hedgerow from 1 March to 31 August, which is welcome from an environmental and a biodiversity perspective. Unfortunately, this year, due to the very inclement weather...

Fintan Warfield: .... Some 1,900 children have been abducted. Nearly one third of Ukraine has been contaminated by land mines. Civilian infrastructure, including electricity and health services are regularly targeted and destroyed. It is quite clear to most people, and it must be clear to Vladimir Putin, that two years on, his war aims cannot be achieved. It is time for Putin to end this war in Ukraine...

John Brady: There is a level of hypocrisy in supporting a boycott of Russia but being happy to play against Israel, which, as we sit here, continues to destroy Gaza and kill men, women and children. The FAI has not voiced any concerns to either of the bodies.

Healthcare Provision in Rural Communities: Motion [Private Members] (21 Feb 2024)

Mattie McGrath: ...the country. Everywhere you go, in every town and village, there is a huge explosion in population and no services for them - GPs, hospitals, dentists, schools, etc. It puts more pressure on. The Government has a will to destroy the public services we have out there for the public and to deny our people public services they are entitled to, such as basic fundamental healthcare. These...

Frances Black: ...due to bombardment, invasion by Israeli soldiers and a lack of fuel. Bodies are piling up that cannot be buried. People are having to endure surgical procedures without anaesthetic. Israel has destroyed every university in Gaza. It is important to highlight all of these horrific issues. Leading academics, artists and journalists are being murdered at an even higher rate than other...
