If it is a phone or device which a garda decides to use in circumstances where he or she...

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

Danny Healy-Rae: Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael succumbed to the tail wagging the dog, or the Green Party, on this. We do not see much public transport. I do not know what people in the north west see by way of public transport, but we do not see it in Kerry anyway. Rather, we see big, flashy buses in Dublin, double-deckers or whatever, and one or two people at the most inside them. That is where the...

Energy (Windfall Gains in the Energy Sector) (Temporary Solidarity Contribution) Bill 2023: Second Stage (Resumed) (29 Jun 2023)

Peadar Tóibín: ...desired by the Green Party and other political parties. Fianna Fáil is an ideological husk and does not necessarily have a belief in anything, so it will go in any direction, but the Green Party tail is wagging the Fine Gael dog in this case in the context of energy prices. It is an important issue that the Government is looking to keep energy prices artificially high, not just...

Culling the National Herd: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (28 Jun 2023)

Mattie McGrath: ...and she brought a lurcher, so she knows a lot of about farmers. I rest my case and I will not take any lectures from her. Then there is an Teachta Bríd Smith, who is also gone like snow off a ditch, and who has her dog Ben in the back of her white van outside the door. Is animal welfare aware of that? Every person who has a dog should have a herd number like the farmers do....

Ceisteanna - Questions: Programme for Government (27 Jun 2023)

Paul Murphy: ...problem. Instead, the workers are forced to go down the WRC route. The commission is underpowered and under-resourced.
