Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Living with a Disability: Discussion (Resumed) (25 May 2023) See 5 other results from this debate

...committee members, as legislators, have the power to change, if the political will and appetite is there. I am 39 years of age. I have cerebral palsy and am in a power chair. I have an assistance dog. For the benefit of those who are not present, she is on the floor behind me. Gail is an extension of me in that she helps me retrieve dropped items so I do not always have to get a...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Animal Welfare (24 May 2023) See 1 other result from this debate

Lynn Boylan: ...roimh an Aire Stáit. This morning, I want to raise the matter of the rehoming of horses which are seized under the Animal Health and Welfare Act 2013. I had my own Bill, the Animal Health and Welfare (Dogs) Bill, which passed Second Stage unanimously here. Unfortunately, the guillotine meant that it did not progress to Committee Stage yet.During the Second Stage debate I flagged to...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó (Atógáil) - Order of Business (Resumed) (24 May 2023)

Lisa Chambers: ...in County Clare. Senator Byrne asked for a debate on the Garda Síochána (Recording Devices) Bill 2022. In fairness, I think the Senator tabled that Bill over two years ago at this stage. Illegal dumping and dog fouling are big issues in communities, towns and villages across the country. It is a big issue for councillors because they deal with it on a daily basis. There seems...

Seanad: Naming of National Children's Hospital for Dr. Kathleen Lynn: Motion (24 May 2023)

Seán Kyne: Dr. Kathleen Lynn was a formidable woman, from what I read about her. She should be honoured for her republicanism. Somebody said here she is not a household name. I put the blame for that on those who belong to her party. I certainly will not take any blame for it. I was lucky enough to be part of a Government and party who built the children’s hospital with taxpayers' money. We...

...post qualification, but not ahead of qualification. In my case, I specialise in embryo work in pedigree cattle, but as an undergraduate, I had to qualify to be capable to work across cats, dogs, horses, pigs, sheep, cattle, the works. That has not changed. That requirement is still there.

Accommodation Needs for New Arrivals: Statements (23 May 2023) See 1 other result from this debate

Louise O'Reilly: ...their nonsense. People in these local groups are very quick to offer support. In the case of FCAR, it was also quick to call out the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage for his dog whistling about the impact immigrants were having on the housing crisis. It was right to do that. We should never ever miss an opportunity to call out dog whistling no matter where it comes...

Dog Welfare Report: Motion (18 May 2023) See 5 other results from this debate

Claire Kerrane: ...report is heeded. There are many reports from committees and everywhere else and many recommendations, and the work does not end when the report is finished and published. I failed to mention dog wardens and it is important to give them a mention. They work really hard in all our local authorities across the State. Some local authorities are under-resourced and dog wardens are under...

Consultative Forum on International Security Policy: Statements (18 May 2023)

Richard Bruton: ...colours. This simply does not stand up to scrutiny, in my view. The world is a place of many different types of countries that are struggling to reach progress on behalf of their people. They are dogged by many problems, as we know. However, as a Union of countries we are committed to dealing with the issues in the way I described, namely, dialogue without confrontation, diplomacy over...

Central Statistics Office Sexual Violence Survey 2022: Statements (17 May 2023)

Mick Barry: ...were broadly similar. To get a taste of Tate's ugly messaging, consider the following: "You can’t be responsible for something that doesn’t listen to you. You can’t be responsible for a dog if it doesn’t obey you ... or a woman that doesn’t obey you". This man is under house arrest in Romania for sexual assault and human trafficking, but he has nearly...

David Stanton: ...is another place in France that is an enclosed environment where sighted people can go in and are led around by people who are blind and they simulate trams, trains, and buses as being close by, dogs barking, and all this kind of stuff. It is a whole different world so I get that. I thank the witnesses.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (16 May 2023)

Richard Boyd Barrett: ...oppose that divisive, hate-filled racism. It is especially tragic that it could happen when we consider the decades and decades of racist discrimination Irish people suffered, of the "no dogs, no blacks and no Irish" kind, in the United States, Britain and elsewhere. We should therefore be clear in condemning this situation. I must be honest, however, and say that a considerable...

Written Answers — Department of Finance: Illicit Trade (16 May 2023)

Michael McGrath: ..., including duty free tobacco in excess of normal allowances and where possible prosecuting those involved. In this work, Revenue’s Customs Officers at national ports and airports, regularly deploy detector dog units and use a combination of risk analysis, profiling, intelligence, and the screening of checked-in and carry-on baggage. I am advised by Revenue that it uses a range...

Seanad: Report of the Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport and Media: Statements (11 May 2023)

Fintan Warfield: ..., more urgently, this is an issue of ensuring the physical and mental well-being of every person who participates in sport. I play soccer. I do not want to play for a team that gives the referee dog's abuse, and it saddens me that soccer is one of the worst for abuse of referees. We could all learn something from rugby in that regard. I welcome the fact that we heard from minority...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Disability Inclusive Social Protection: Discussion (11 May 2023)

Tom Clonan: ...novel idea. Every year I have to write to the airline and every year the questions are different. They ask what the weight of the wheelchair is and what the dimensions are. They ask how old the dog is and say that if it is over ten it cannot go on an aircraft. Every year they come up with a different question to the extent that I wonder what they will ask us this year. I remember...

Planning and Rural Housing: Motion [Private Members] (10 May 2023) See 1 other result from this debate

Kieran O'Donnell: ...Murphy. He is ideologically driven. His suggestions are not based on the practicalities of building houses. The State cannot do everything and, effectively, he has basically come up with suggestions. He is like the dog who wants to chase every car that goes by. The bottom line is that we have to work in a balanced way to get houses built. The State needs to build houses, which we...

Maria Byrne: ...current service was mentioned. I am from Limerick, but I have used the service in the current veterinary hospital. I compliment the staff there. I was there on two occasions with two different dogs. It is a very good service for small animals and I know there is also a service for larger animals. I believe those services need to be expanded. I see where I am from that many people...
