Planning and Development Bill 2023: Second Stage (30 Nov 2023) See 1 other result from this debate

Richard Boyd Barrett: ...the output of housing is because of speculation, land banking, etc. IGEES speculates that the property people are speculating and that the evidence would suggest that may well be the case. To be honest, the dogs in the street know that is true. We can all see examples of it in our own areas where they have the planning permission, they have the SDZ and the whole bleedin' lot but it...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Climate Action Plan Review: Discussion (Resumed) (30 Nov 2023)

Richard Bruton: ...pretty withering in saying some of the things the Minister has already touched on. We really need the spatial planning guidelines and the guidelines on onshore wind. I know planning delays have dogged many of our ambitions. There is also the regulatory treatment of battery storage. Those are things we should be able to move along. Quite surprisingly, the CCAC talked about how other...

Horse and Greyhound Racing Fund Regulations 2023: Motion (29 Nov 2023) See 7 other results from this debate

Michael Collins: .... I welcome this motion. It is high time people who object go to see the industry for themselves in Church Cross, for example. I rang up one day and turned up in the yard within five minutes to see how dogs are treated with the most humane, loving and caring treatment on a farm in Church Cross. People should wake up, go down to see that and stop criticising and pointing fingers. It...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (29 Nov 2023) See 1 other result from this debate

Mick Barry: ...an important point. It is significant that while the Government is talking about putting on the agenda facial recognition technology, water cannon, stronger pepper spray, more riot police and more dogs - in other words more State repression - it is failing to deal with the social crisis in society. It is failing to deal with the issue of asylum seekers that I have raised and is failing...

Seanad: Horse and Greyhound Racing Fund Regulations 2023: Motion (29 Nov 2023) See 2 other results from this debate

Paul Daly: ...these sports get through this funding, as opposed to other sporting bodies or sectors. I compliment the Minister and welcome the advancements and improvements that have been made in horse and dog welfare in recent years. As a small racetrack, Kilbeggan Racecourse received mandatory instruction on the developments and improvements we had to make to meet the demands of horse and animal...

Seanad: Recent Violence in Dublin City Centre: Motion (29 Nov 2023) See 1 other result from this debate

Marie Sherlock: ...here want to be proud of our city. It is our capital city, yet when I talk to people on their doorsteps and on the streets in our communities there is an overwhelming sense that Dublin has gone to the dogs, the city centre has gone to the dogs and there is no respect or pride in our main street, O’Connell Street. There is a feeling of being unsafe. People are afraid to walk...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Governance Issues: Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board (Resumed) (29 Nov 2023)

The next public meeting of the committee will be on Wednesday, 6 December at 5.30 p.m., when the agenda will be the examination of the impact of rising veterinary costs on dog ownership and abandoned dogs and engagement with the new chairperson designate of the Agri-Food Regulator, Mr. Joe Healy.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Policing Matters: Discussion (Resumed) (29 Nov 2023)

...the number of trained and equipped public order gardaí had grown to 250. This was ten-fold our original deployment and our largest ever public order deployment. They, together with 150 of their colleagues, supported by the dog unit, the mounted unit and air support unit, started to address the riotous groups in front of them. While the intense violence was shocking and...

Heather Humphreys: ...coming through Templemore is bigger than the last one. We want to see more gardaí on our streets. Crime in our society is changing. Whether through the use of bodycams, facial recognition technology, dog units or water cannons, this Government will act and give the Garda the tools it needs to do its job and keep our streets safe. Let us be clear tonight: where force is needed,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Local and European Elections 2024 and Subsequent General Election: Discussion (28 Nov 2023)

Steven Matthews: There is the obvious messaging that is very easy for people to pick up on and there is the more nuanced messaging or the dog whistle, as it is referred to, because it is only audible for certain people or certain cohorts. We need to follow up on that and chase that down because that might not be apparent. Some of those messages are not very clear as to the direction they are going but they...

Finance (No. 2) Bill 2023: Report and Final Stages (22 Nov 2023)

Róisín Shortall: ...nature of the tax system. It is the kind of thing we expect from Fine Gael. We hear it much of the time from various Fine Gael backbenchers and, indeed, frontbenchers as well. The Taoiseach does a lot of that dog-whistling by talking about people who get up early in the morning and all that kind of thing, without appreciating the scale of the issue of low incomes in the country. We...

Consultative Forum on International Security Policy Report: Statements (22 Nov 2023) See 1 other result from this debate

Gary Gannon: ...unilaterally as a way of achieving something. Now we seem to have lost the courage to go beyond ourselves. It is with that spirit in mind that I am saying to the Tánaiste that now, when the dogs of war are once again assembling and when we are seeing a genocide being inflicted upon the people of Gaza, we should go further and where necessary, act unilaterally. I do not doubt the...

Palestine: Motion [Private Members] (22 Nov 2023)

Johnny Mythen: ...Israel becomes engulfed in brutal collective punishment and unleashing an insatiable regime of revenge on Gaza and the millions of Palestinians. Once again we hear “Cry 'Havoc!' and let slip the dogs of war”. Medics, doctors, nurses, UN workers, paramedics, journalists, children, everyone and everything has become a target. It is time to call an immediate and permanent...

Victor Boyhan: ..., because that is what it is. It is effectively a requirement for the Minister to bring this proposal to both Houses of the Oireachtas to get approval for the top-up ceiling. I will not talk about the dogs today. I will concentrate on the horse racing sport and the €76 million, which is to be welcomed. The Minister briefly touched on the tripartite agreement. That no longer...

Denis Naughten: ...funding programme. The second point, and the Minister might respond to us if she can, is that €2 million has been allocated under the rural regeneration subhead to deal with the control of dogs. We have spent the last six months in this House and in these committees talking about TV licences and the enforcement of TV licences. There has been very little going on in terms of the...

Health Insurance (Amendment) Bill 2023: Second Stage (21 Nov 2023)

Mattie McGrath: ...to the previous year. People are being forced to get private insurance because they cannot get timely access to healthcare. They cannot get an appointment with a GP. If my family wanted a vet to see one of our pet dogs tonight, we would have one in half an hour but we cannot get a doctor. People can ring the out-of-hours service and if they get through, they will have to answer 110 ten...
