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...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Recent Reclassification of Beef Indexes: Discussion (13 Dec 2023) See 2 other results from this debate

...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...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (12 Dec 2023)

Mattie McGrath: ...sum for many farmers. There have been refusals for such items as meal bins, milk bulk tanks, automatic calf feeders, milking parlour equipment and automatic scrapers. Is the Government trying to destroy farming completely? These farmers entered into this in good faith and encompassed in their quotation was getting the VAT back. They got the loans to do this on the basis the VAT would...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (12 Dec 2023) See 1 other result from this debate

Mattie McGrath: ...of the HSE that was hived off with no proper functions or diktats. We need a public inquiry. The Taoiseach standing up defending Tusla's work and praising it is not acceptable. Lives have been destroyed; 52 children in its care are missing. We all have children and grandchildren and want the best for them. It is shocking to stand up, dismiss that and say Tusla does everything right,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Examination of Potential Consequences - Protecting and Enhancing the Provision of Palliative Care: Discussion (12 Dec 2023)

..., it is almost an operation. Someone with a messy spare room that is completely scattered with everything has a choice. They can either work at it, fix it and make a nice spare room or they can destroy it and remove that spare room from their house. The latter is not fixing the problem. It is just removing the spare room from the house. One needs to have the time and energy to spend...

Seanad: Social Welfare (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2023: Second Stage (7 Dec 2023)

Gerard Craughwell: ...of conclusions about my gold-plated pension, I am caught like every other worker in the country by the single pension Act. There are no gold-plated pensions for anybody in the public service anymore. We have destroyed public service pensions in the way we have set about them and that is why we are losing gardaí and members of the Defence Forces and why some of the high flyers in the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: United Kingdom Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Act 2023: Discussion (7 Dec 2023)

...is at play here. The UK Government has looked at a big, macro picture. As Professor Rolston rightly pointed out, it put in all the underhanded tactics, such as hiding, burying, concealing and destroying evidence as well as hiding witnesses, prevarication, delay and obfuscation. It brought it all into this Act. If there are beneficiaries of this Act, they are principally those who...

Matt Shanahan: ...on the Israeli kibbutz and concert area was merciless, inhumane and horrific and can never be forgotten. However, the resulting collective punishment of the Palestinian people in an effort to destroy Hamas and its war machine is also inhumane and horrific. The end certainly does not justify the means. For too long, the sands of the Middle East have soaked up the blood of innocents...

Seanad: Sex Offenders (Amendment) (Coercive Control) Bill 2023: Second Stage (6 Dec 2023)

Barry Ward: .... I do not want to use the word "damaging" again, but they are so appalling because they attack a person in the place where they should be safest - in their relationship and in their home and they destroy that, as well as the other knock-on consequences that we know happened in the case of the death of Jennifer Poole. It is about identifying that it is already an offence, but it is also...

Immigration: Motion [Private Members] (6 Dec 2023)

Carol Nolan: ...mat to those fleeing here but, increasingly, this has resulted in this nation becoming a doormat for others to trample on with no regard for our laws or security. Just look at the thousands who arrived having destroyed their documentation. We can survive being a welcoming nation, but we cannot survive being taken for fools and having our generosity abused for another decade or more....

Pearse Doherty: ...accusation to be investigated? William and his family were put through a decade of hell because of false accusations and repeatedly not being believed. During this time, William's reputation was destroyed, his business ceased and he lost access to his daughter. He developed significant mental and physical health problems and we can never underestimate the impact this has on somebody and...

David Stanton: ...or child before Christmas. That would be great. As the Minister has acknowledged, this situation is urgent. It is a number of weeks since the flooding happened and the childcare facilities were destroyed. I acknowledge the endeavours being made by other childcare providers in the area to identify premises and expand their services to look after the parents and children impacted by...

Confidence in the Minister for Justice: Motion (5 Dec 2023)

Jack Chambers: ...issues, I have absolutely zero confidence in Sinn Féin. I have zero confidence in Sinn Féin as a party giving the Garda the support it needs to deal with the far right who want to undermine and destroy our country. Sinn Féin has seen a political opportunity and seized on the recent horrific events for its own political gain. This is pure political exploitation at a...
