...most difficulty. If there is a spicy story or one we know could be quite combative, we take the responsibility for that. None of my reporters recklessly goes after people or recklessly looks to destroy anybody's reputation. However, if we feel there is a legitimate reason for pursuing a story, we will do so.

Micheál Martin: The Department of Defence receives requests from time to time for the replacement of lost, stolen or destroyed medals awarded to Veterans of these conflicts. In relation to such requests, it has been the policy that replacement medals were issued on a once-off only basis on receipt of a bona-fidé request from the Veteran to whom the original medals were awarded. This policy was adopted...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Weather Events (14 Dec 2023)

David Stanton: ...and homes were badly damaged. Floods, the like of which were never seen before in the region, caused devastation. This evening in particular I want to focus on the roads and bridges that were destroyed. Some of them are still not open. I am sure the Minister of State will appreciate the difficulty that is causing residents, businesses, farmers and so on. I have been raising the...

Gender Recognition (Amendment) (Prisons) Bill 2023: First Stage (14 Dec 2023)

Peadar Tóibín: ...their gender. Gender affirmation can put young people on the pathway to chemicals, puberty-blockers and irreversible surgery. Those co-morbidities that are causing the problems never get treated at all. They can destroy a person's fertility, cause serious health damage and in many cases lead to people to de-transition after that damage has been done. Ireland remains wedded to the...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (Resumed) (14 Dec 2023)

Michael Collins: ...by up to 44%, costing these mainly suckler farmers tens of thousands of euro by undervaluing their bulls. Farmers who were doing everything by the ICBF book for ten years were met with an overnight change that destroyed their farm practices and their income. Also in the past two weeks, many farmers have been told that their farm payments under ACRES will not be paid to them, as...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Irish Aid (14 Dec 2023) See 1 other result from this debate

Barry Ward: ...has escalated beyond any recognition. The destruction that has been wreaked on Gaza City in the northern end of the Gaza Strip and spreading increasingly farther south has meant that projects funded by Irish Aid have been destroyed. In education, for example, one of the things Irish Aid has done is build schools and invest in physical infrastructure in the Gaza Strip to support...

Committee on Key Issues affecting the Traveller Community: Traveller Accommodation: Discussion (Resumed) (14 Dec 2023)

...means "home" in Gammon. We have to accept that the programme is a smokescreen and has not delivered any Traveller-specific accommodation. What it has done to my people is assimilation and it has destroyed a lot of the Traveller community. It is my role here today to bring about long-term solutions and short-term solutions as there is a huge crisis in trailer loans and rentals. I...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: All-Ireland Economy: Discussion (Resumed) (14 Dec 2023)

..., never mind move ahead. We have talked today about rail and roads.

Digital Services Bill 2023: Second Stage (13 Dec 2023)

Mattie McGrath: ...at the Capuchin centre in this city. Three thousand people on a cold night like last night and all that bothers the people in here and the Government is how to silence the good Christian people of this country and destroy their religion, culture, heritage and dúchas. They will not. I have that message. There are silent people out there who want to practise as Christians and to...

Increased Fossil Fuel Divestment: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (13 Dec 2023) See 1 other result from this debate

Seán Canney: ...young people. We have huge problems with this, and the Government needs to grasp it. The only solution is to put these floating wind turbines out in the ocean and get on with that rather than trying to destroy our country. In places where these are being proposed, I can guarantee the Minister of State that the local authority would not give planning permission for a house because of all...

Increased Fossil Fuel Divestment: Motion [Private Members] (13 Dec 2023)

Joan Collins: ...climate breakdown has so far involved more fossil fuel executives than common sense. We are facing an existential crisis while world leaders shake hands with the people who have made billions from destroying our planet. The Minister of State made the point that Ireland has given €25 million to the loss and damage fund but that contribution was taken from moneys already allocated to...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Weather Events (13 Dec 2023)

Martin Kenny: ...one of those cars. Had it been facing the other way, she would certainly have been killed. It was a very dangerous situation. The tornado cut a track of about 30 or 40 metres through the village and destroyed practically everything in its path. It also tracked along the river into the harbour area. Boats were upturned along the jetties. The tornado caused devastation everywhere it...

...and perhaps even slightly more exaggerated on the dairy only animals. Critically, on the suckler side, the criticism that was made in 2015 was that we would breed a herd of suckler cows that would destroy beef quality. What has happened in the past ten, eight or seven years in the quality of animals coming from the suckler herd - to be clear these are progeny coming from beef cows, sired...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Football Association of Ireland's Facility Investment Vision and Strategy, and Governance Issues: Discussion (13 Dec 2023)

Shane Cassells: ...all sports, which I have said bluntly in the Seanad. I hope the Minister for Finance looks at that. He alluded to having a tax fund for sport in his budget speech. The gambling industry has destroyed people's lives, in particular the lives of players and supporters. It should pay a damn sight more back to this country. Deputy Griffin mentioned the issue of the shirt sponsor. I...

Residential Tenancies (Deferment of Termination Dates of Certain Tenancies) (No. 2) Bill 2023: Second Stage [Private Members] (12 Dec 2023)

Pauline Tully: ...prevent people becoming homeless but there is only so much they can do when there is a severe shortage of houses. It is very disappointing that the Government is opposing this Bill. It is soul destroying for those who are homeless and for those facing eviction. I very much think it is past time that the Government stepped up and addressed what is a very serious housing crisis. A...

Local Government (Mayor of Limerick) Bill 2023: Instruction to Committee (12 Dec 2023)

Richard O'Donoghue: ...contractors are now on the ground and, I hope, in quarter 3 of next year, they will have a good and uninterrupted water supply for Croom. There was a fire in Croom a few months ago and a couple of houses were destroyed. The fire service did not have a water supply adequate to tackle those fires. It had loads of engines but it had to scutter to get a supply of water because it did not...
