Danny Healy-Rae: ...vilified and demonised in a desperate way. They should not be. Our people are as good as any people in any part of the world but they are not being treated as such. There is a green tail wagging the dog and they are giving people an awful lot of grief. In Germany there is no problem in the world and they are opening up coal mines again. They are even moving a village to open a coal...

In the 1980s, I became an economic migrant along...

Seanad: Welfare and Safety of Workers in the Public Health Service: Motion (22 Feb 2023)

Paul Gavan: .... I find that frankly incredible given that the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation, INMO, trolley watch figures were in the 70s for each day of the week in question. Not being funny, the dogs in the street and any of the staff in UHL would tell the Minister that he is factually incorrect. It worries me that the Minister is getting information that is incorrect.

Witnesses may think I am pushing them beyond where they are comfortable but four speakers have said they felt politicians had used language - I do not think they said "dog whistle" - that was unhelpful from a political perspective.

...go ahead. Tony Blair had sent him a side-letter holding out the promise of decisive action by the British Government if there was not early progress on decommissioning.

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (14 Feb 2023)

Erin McGreehan: ...their wool, which is a sustainable product, has a market that and that it is being sold for what it is worth and what it should be sold for. We need an increased export plan.

Duncan Smith: ...by the system. The most effective way to reprioritise the public interest over cost containment is to empower the Office of the Attorney General to draft strategies to defend the public interest just as doggedly as it currently pursues the narrower interests of Departments.
