It is disgusting that people who...

Support for Household Energy Bills: Motion [Private Members] (3 May 2023)

Gerald Nash: ..., the Government must intervene. I say this because in this country there is very little confidence in the regulator. It also seems that the regulator, in this regard the CRU, acts like a nodding dog. Generally speaking, in most cases it supports the interests of the industry itself. It pains me to say this as somebody who believes in markets but I am also somebody who believes in...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (3 May 2023)

Mattie McGrath: ...world that we feel like, rather than using our own peat and allowing farmers to cut down their own forestry to be used here. We need an urgent debate in this House.

We need a reasonable debate on this to try to effect a change to these stupid policies.

Public Accounts Committee: An Bord Pleanála - Financial Statements 2021 (27 Apr 2023)

Cormac Devlin: ...and honesty, or being as much as she can be at this point. I think she realises the scale of the challenge ahead of her in terms of the reputational damage to the board that has unfortunately dogged it for the past 12 months, if not before that. I am going to get to the two-person board meetings that were taking place because that is something I honed in on the last time the board was...

Seanad: Public Water Connection Charges: Motion (26 Apr 2023)

Mary Fitzpatrick: ...chilled. The very uniquely designed nasoni are called a "nose" because they are designed like that. Not only do they accommodate us humans and quench our thirst but they are actually built so that dogs, our four-legged friends, can also avail of the water. Water is essential for all of us to live and exist. Access to free public water is absolutely something we should be supporting....

Ruairi Ó Murchú: ...sense. Engagement with stakeholders is an absolute necessity. I threw out the idea of ineffectual control because we have been given the examples where people would have gone out with large dogs. We can get into the ins and outs with particular breeds but in some cases, they could have very long leads and then that asks the question of what ineffectual control is. I accept that...

Réada Cronin: ...the fear he is experiencing. Suddenly, a doctor's visit or even a note home from school about a trip or outing is a major financial problem.

Michael Healy-Rae: ...feel confident about their future instead of worried. At present, they are worried and I will tell the Taoiseach why.

They are looking at decisions the Government has taken. I am very worried about...

Organised Crime: Statements (20 Apr 2023)

Mark Ward: ...to operate with relative impunity and it is not good enough. There is a real sense of fear and abandonment within our communities.
