Steven Matthews: ...in place to encourage engagement, for example, vacant homes officers and the range of grants, subsidies and supports that I listed at the beginning of the debate and that the Minister of State echoed. Regarding the concerns raised, I will reiterate that there would be no relaxation or reduction in standards under this Bill. We are all concerned about fire safety, in which respect...

Health (Termination of Pregnancy Services) (Safe Access Zones) Bill 2023: Second Stage (Resumed) (13 Jul 2023)

Joan Collins: ...provider. Research has found that the respondents were almost universally consistent on the portrayal of the three-day wait as having next to no impact on their decision. I will make a final point. I echo the calls made during this debate to keep a register of offences by individuals across all safe access zones. I will be supporting this Bill. I will also support any amendments...

Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation and Expenditure of Public Moneys by RTÉ (Resumed): RTÉ (13 Jul 2023)

Mr. Conor Mullen: It is very early yet. The simple answer is that it is holding up. I echo Mr. Lynch’s comments with regard to an apology to Renault because it has been dragged into this. It is a significant advertiser of ours. The vast majority of our business will come through from September onwards and we will see where that is when that starts to happen.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (13 Jul 2023)

Catherine Murphy: I would like to echo what the Cathaoirleach said. It has been very easy to interact and that has made all the difference. We are dealing with a different topic every week and trying to get our heads around that is quite difficult. Mr. O'Connor's help has been enormous. I wish him the very best of luck in the future, and good luck to Katherine as well.

.... Similar to Mr. Hennessy's situation, with all the different grants that were available, a lot of them just did not really apply to me and I could not find ways to identify those supports. I echo Mr. Hennessy in that I faced the exact same challenges. There is that lack of flexibility in understanding that everyone's situation is different.

European Council Meeting: Statements, Questions and Answers (12 Jul 2023) See 1 other result from this debate

Thomas Pringle: ...law has been passed by the European Parliament. However, I acknowledge that it is much weaker than it was when it was first proposed, which is disappointing. We can thank Fine Gael amendments for that. I echo Luke 'Ming' Flanagan's calls to ensure a publicly funded nature restoration fund to ensure a just transition and proper implementation of the law. Because the law itself is...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Constitutional Amendments (12 Jul 2023)

Richard Boyd Barrett: ...the Taoiseach on dates for the referendums on keeping water services and infrastructure in public ownership and on housing, both of which have been promised by the Government. The Government keeps echoing the mantra that housing is its biggest priority. The most severe social crisis facing the country, which it certainly is, is that hundreds of thousands of people, in one way or another,...

Seanad: Care Payments: Motion [Private Members] (12 Jul 2023)

Lynn Boylan: ...to apply, with all the stress that entails, and then having to make an appeal and have their appeal upheld shows that there are definitely problems with the current application and approval system. I also echo the comments of Senator Pauline O'Reilly on pensions and care credits. When I was an MEP in Brussels, we strongly argued for recognition of those people, mostly women, who take time...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Bodies (11 Jul 2023)

Richard Boyd Barrett: ...the section 481 film tax credit and issues in the film industry. This was the second committee in a number of years to recommend there would be a stakeholder forum to address very serious issues that echo in a very serious way the things that have happened recently in RTÉ. There are allegations of systematic blacklisting; that the law, in terms of the copyright directive on the...

Seanad: Disability (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2023: Second Stage (11 Jul 2023) See 1 other result from this debate

Joe O'Reilly: ...the initiative of Senator Clonan and others, this Seanad was remembered as the one that focused on disability issues in a major way, apart from the day-to-day issues. I would like to see that. I echo the fact that we are completely in support of the Bill. I ask Senators to have some confidence in the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability and Youth. He is not a member of my party,...

Public Accounts Committee: RTÉ Commercial Arrangements: Mr. Ryan Tubridy and Mr. Noel Kelly (11 Jul 2023)

Mr. Noel Kelly: I want to echo everything Mr. Tubridy has said. I am sorry we are here today as well. We asked to come and meet the committee because we have huge respect for it. We have not spoken to anybody else. We just wanted to get the opportunity to put our side across. I will try to be as brief as I possibly can if the Cathaoirleach will allow it. I thank the committee for the...

European Union Directive: Motion (6 Jul 2023)

Thomas Pringle: ...sector, are in place. It is vitally important that such rules are in place for the European Commission and EU representatives too. One area of concern with the proposal is in regards to data protection.

Progress on the National Parks and Wildlife Service: Statements (6 Jul 2023)

Darren O'Rourke: ...huge body of work it needs to do. Part of that is about resourcing. Part of it is about structure and governance and literally bringing this work to the fields and communities that need to be supported. I echo the Minister of Stater's comments commending those in the NPWS who do such tireless and important work. To also echo the Minister of State's invitation, I invite him to Girley...

Mother and Baby Institutions Payment Scheme Bill 2022: From the Seanad (5 Jul 2023)

Catherine Connolly: I echo what Deputy Funchion said about people listening to the debate and will not reiterate it. I fully support that. The Minister replied in respect of the appointment of Sheila Nunan and cannot comment on it. The problem is that if those negotiations had taken place prior to the creation of the scheme, perhaps it would be more comprehensive. Perhaps it would have taken away the...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (5 Jul 2023)

Holly Cairns: ...public service broadcaster. Of all the organisations that know about holding people to account, this kind of drip-feed of information is quite surprising to most people. The other message that echoed was an appreciation for having public service broadcasting and the importance of it, especially today with misinformation online and so on. Crucially, there is also a new realised...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals - Net Zero Industry Act (5 Jul 2023)

...new ways of decarbonising their operations while coping with uncompetitive energy costs. Where is the provision for the circular economy, demand management or offsetting? I mention in conclusion that these views are echoed not only by other national business federations across Europe, but also by its wider civil society. Separately, I have provided the committee with a recent draft...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Defective Block Redress: Redress Focus Group for Banking and Insurance (5 Jul 2023)

Joe McHugh: ...an authoritative voice in terms of representation nationally. I was listening to Deputy Jim O'Callaghan online on the way up. He suggested calling banking representatives before the committee. I echo that request. I am sure the members will not be against that idea. I think that would be important. While doing that, I acknowledge that representatives from the Banking &...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Bus Driver Recruitment: Discussion (5 Jul 2023)

Darren O'Rourke: I thank the witnesses. I echo those comments of thanks and welcome progress. It is important that the committee pursues the proposals discussed here but it would also be helpful that there is clarity in terms of the proposals. There has been some good discussion in terms of measures needed and the proposals and opening statements from Go-Ahead Ireland and CTTC. Do Bus Éireann and...
