Those individuals had motor insurance prior to the offence, but when they go back in for a quote, having served their...

I refer in particular to congregation for the purpose of drug-taking.

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (29 Nov 2023) See 2 other results from this debate

Regina Doherty: I propose an amendment to the Order of Business, that No. 10 be taken before No. 1. We are introducing the Misuse of Drugs (Amendment) (Control of Nitrous Oxide) Bill 2023. As most Members are aware, nitrous oxide, more commonly known as laughing gas, is probably the recreational drug most abused by those aged 18 or younger. It is probably apt that we have such an abundant number of young...

Mary Fitzpatrick: ...but we need to address the root causes of the lack of safety and public order. We need to ensure there is an elimination, that is an absolute tackling and ending of the ongoing, consistent, persistent and open drug dealing, usage and distribution in the city centre.

Paul Daly: Going back to the last time and the discussion about blood, urine and hair, my recollection of our previous engagement is that hair is the best sample in that it will even tell you if there were drugs, historically, that would not show in blood or urine. It is similar with human beings. If you watch crime dramas in America, a hair sample can show how long somebody is clean. I believe it is...

...to have a public order response, but also a very visible uniformed response. The issue for me now is going to be around prioritisation. We put a lot of effort into things like street crime and low-level drug dealing, etc., and there will have to be a refocusing towards having visibility on the streets. We recognise that in terms of our police work in the city centre, no matter how many...

Maurice Quinlivan: ...hate, fear and misinformation. We need to build and strengthen communities and not divide them. We need to resource our communities properly, reverse cuts to community groups, youth services and drug and addiction services. We cannot and should not treat this solely as a policing issue. As I have said, on Thursday a cloud descended over our capital. By the evening, during the...

Mary Lou McDonald: ...perpetrator is in custody and, in time, we will learn the story behind all this. The reality, however, is that Dublin city centre has not been safe for some time, with antisocial behaviour, open drug dealing and drug taking, street drinking, and gangs hanging around causing trouble.

This is about tackling the small, casual, opportunistic criminal and antisocial behaviour such as drug dealing, drug distribution, illegal dumping and unmuzzled dangerous animals with no leads in public spaces. It is all of that and it is also about resourcing our gardaí, making sure...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Safeguarding Medical Professionals: Discussion (28 Nov 2023)

Lynn Ruane: ...on contentious issues. Doctors, nurses and other health professionals are not the only people with a conscience or moral integrity around upholding laws within society. I will take the area of drug use, for example. Imprisoning an addict who has been caught with heroin does not have any therapeutic value. Some gardaí, judges or whoever may ask why they cannot conscientiously...

...to the responses. I may not exactly have Senator Ruane's question. On assisted suicide versus the doctor providing it directly, in the state of Oregon it is where the patient administers the drugs him or herself. The rate of increase of requests for assisted suicide is much less than in other countries which have legislated that the doctor will actually provide the injection. We are...

Mr. Art O'Leary: I will start with the questions that are appropriate for us. I was at the citizens' assembly meeting on drug use over the summer.
