Seanad: Death of Former Member: Expressions of Sympathy (21 Jun 2023)

Ned O'Sullivan: ...a woman. Those big strong men around north Kerry knocked skelps off her, just as I am sure Mary had to fight her corner in Limerick as well. Kit Ahern used to tell me that it was not the size of the dog in the fight, but of the fight in the dog. I think Mary Jackman definitely lived up to that. I have no more to say, other than it was a pleasure to know her. Her reputation precedes...

Seanad: Political Donations: Motion (11 Nov 2020)

Ned O'Sullivan: ...collection. He or she thinks of going door to door to the party faithful, selling a raffle ticket at Christmas or perhaps trying to get money into our super draw once a year. I have organised nights at the dogs, the races and every other thing because I am useful at fundraising and make myself useful. Sinn Féin missed the opportunity of the century when it received this...

Seanad: Order of Business (12 Jul 2018)

Ned O'Sullivan: ...possible in the amalgamation. The Examiner has a long history in Munster. It was a great newspaper for politics, current affairs and sport and one of the few papers that would report regularly on dog racing from the track. It would be interesting if The Irish Timestook up coverage of that sport. I wish them well and I know the Leader has already done so. It might be nice if we sent...

Seanad: Order of Business (15 Dec 2016)

Ned O'Sullivan: However, the Labour Party has been in and out so often, it would, as Seán Lemass said, go with anyone. It is like Mother Machree's dog: it would go a bit of the road with anyone.

Seanad: Transport, Tourism and Sport: Statements (16 Nov 2016)

Ned O'Sullivan: ...s side. Who else would have had it? It did the Minister, his Department and the review no service. I will leave it at that. Roads funding is the elephant in the room. The roads are gone to the dogs. When I was mayor of Kerry in 2004, we embarked on a ten-year roads programme that finally got the roads in my county into shape. All of that work has been undone. Our funding has fallen...

Seanad: Harbours Bill 2015: Second Stage (8 Dec 2015)

Ned O'Sullivan: ...a draft statutory instrument to be made available to the joint committee. I am sure the Minister agrees it is important that councils inheriting responsibility for harbour boards should not be heirs to any dogs tied, as we say in Kerry. There should not be any debts, as some of these debts are often hidden. It is important that this is done with a clean sheet and not by carrying legacy...

Seanad: Order of Business (Resumed) (8 Jul 2014)

Ned O'Sullivan: ...; Jill Foundation. The issue should be looked at. Senator Denis Landy mentioned the Bord na gCon report which I read with dismay. It is tremendously disappointing and parts of it are shocking. The dog racing industry is very important in the area from which I come, both for track and coursing dogs. While the industry is well run and regulated there, clearly that is not the position all...

Seanad: Order of Business (18 Jun 2014)

Ned O'Sullivan: ...Brennan in welcoming the proposed new jobs for the Dundalk area and compliment all those involved in securing them. Coming from the opposite end of the country, my initial reaction is that of the dog in the manger in that for many years now the only announcements in regard to jobs in my area have been job losses.

Seanad: Lost at Sea Scheme: Motion (1 Dec 2010)

Ned O'Sullivan: ...to them, or a suspected political dimension. The same applied to Mr. George Lee when he was targeting the Government for months in advance of his becoming a Fine Gael candidate, which the dogs on the street knew would occur. When he became a candidate, he had his job well done. I am not saying the Ombudsman is in that position but she might do well to clarify her position on foot of...

Seanad: Organic Food Industry: Statements (20 May 2009)

Ned O'Sullivan: It looks to me like a shaggy dog story.

Seanad: Death of Former Member: Expressions of Sympathy (11 Mar 2008)

Ned O'Sullivan: ...battles in north Kerry, not all of them with members of other political parties, are part of the folklore of political life in the county. Kit used to say it is not a question of the size of the dog in the fight but the size of the fight in the dog. She always displayed great courage in adversity. She was a great supporter of all things Gaelic. Bhí fíor-ghrá ag Kit dár gcultúr...
