Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Shoplifting: Discussion (13 Dec 2023): Ruairi Ó Murchú: I have a particular issue with the idea that kids are only in danger if the danger is imminent, for example, if someone is about to hit them with a hammer. People who use their kids to steal or for drug deals are having their kids around absolute danger. There are a huge number of issues which are not been dealt with. I accept this is beyond the remit of what we are dealing with here, but...
Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Shoplifting: Discussion (13 Dec 2023): ...but we knew who they were. They were just one cohort and that was it. Now we still have addiction and social issues but there are more people who are aggressive and do not show the signs of drug addiction. These are people who think they can get away with it because they have been getting away with it for so long.
Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Shoplifting: Discussion (13 Dec 2023): ...get away with it, then you can deal with the social issues. They are always going to be there and there will always be theft but the volume of theft at the moment is the problem. It is not only drug addicts who coming in to rob from my store. Only a certain volume of people who do that now.

KildareStreet search is case-insensitive, and tries to match all the search terms within a document.
To exclude a word from your search, put a minus ("-") sign in front, for example to find documents containing the word "representation" but not the word "taxation":
representation -taxation
To search for an exact phrase, use quotes (""). For example to find only documents contain the exact phrase "Mahon Tribunal":
"mahon tribunal"
If you want to search for words only when they're used near each other in the text, use "NEAR". For example, to find documents containing the word "elephant" near the word "room":
elephant NEAR room
If the search phrase matches (part of) a TD or Senator's name, their own page will appear as the top result, but will also search speeches made by them too.
From a person's page, you have the option to search only their speeches.
Advanced Users: You can perform boolean searches, with brackets, AND, OR, and XOR. There are many prefixes you can use directly instead of the advanced search form, here's a selection:

- section:committees
- date:20120918
