Pre-European Council Meeting: Statements (20 Mar 2024)

Cathal Crowe: ...he believes he can hold on and become President for life. He is a dictator and it is important that Europe has a front line with Ukraine whereby we support it financially and politically. On Gaza, I echo what other speakers have said. What is happening there is abhorrent and getting worse by the day. We are seeing a state-engineered genocide and people are being forced into a famine....

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Middle East (20 Mar 2024)

Richard Boyd Barrett: ...massacre that Israel is committing and the fact that he has armed Israel to the teeth and enabled it to commit that massacre. Did the Taoiseach ask him to stop arming Israel?

That...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (20 Mar 2024)

Tom Clonan: I want to echo the comments made about the Taoiseach, Deputy Varadkar. I have to say that over the years when he was Minister for Health and as Taoiseach, I have clashed with him on many occasions and we have had many very robust exchanges and disagreements. Throughout that time, An Taoiseach has shown great personal kindness towards me and my family and, particularly, my son Eoghan. I...

Seanad: Court Proceedings (Delays) Bill 2023: Second Stage (20 Mar 2024)

Lynn Boylan: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit. To echo what others said, there is an added urgency to the passing of the Bill. That was reflected in the Dáil debate in May of last year. At that time, speakers to this Bill spoke about the impact of delays in court proceedings, in particular, trials of people accused of very serious crimes. The delays have immediate consequences for...

We are talking about resources, and this is clearly a big issue and has echoed through the debate tonight. He talked about the oversight of the local authority national inspections programme. There is an issue with staff, their appointment and setting all of that in...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Planning for Inclusive Communities: Minister of State at the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (20 Mar 2024)

Tom Clonan: I thank the Minister of State. I echo what Senator Flynn said. For some reason, all the Facebook posts of the Minister, Deputy O'Brien, get sent to my feed. There must be some algorithm that links northsiders together. I am aware of the work going on. I wish to put on the record that we have dealt with housing allocation officers in two different local authority areas. Once a person is...

Mr. Brian ? ?igeartaigh: I echo everything my colleague has said. The fact is that 70% of people in Ireland want to see sanctions imposed on Israel. The Irish Government has also acknowledged this by reaching for the Euro-Med trade agreement as a fig leaf. This is not going away. The Government needs to take action.

Pauline Tully: ...the work done in recent years by the Department of Education on increasing the numbers year on year. The committee put a spotlight on it. Senator Carrigy did a large amount of work on this. I echo his call that all special schools should provide summer provision. It can be provided in different ways. It does not have to be students sitting in a classroom. In fact, it should not be...

Nature Restoration Law: Statements (7 Mar 2024)

Eamon Ryan: ...biodiversity. This needs to change. The Minister of State, Senator Hackett, has started an initiative under the new forestry programme that puts nature centre stage. With regard to farming, I echo what the Minister of State, Deputy Noonan, has said. I see nothing but opportunity for this in the Irish farming community. The current system does not serve the vast majority of farmers...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: National Monuments (7 Mar 2024)

Neale Richmond: ...our Republic, for me it is also very much the blueprint of what our Republic should look like in the next 20 years.

Richard Boyd Barrett: ...Court - that they should be categorised, legally speaking, as employees for what they do. However, they are not treated in that way, and they have this very precarious existence. The point I am making, echoing what the European Commission is saying, is this is not the way to encourage research. We should be about guaranteeing and ensuring the best possible standards of employment and...

Rare Diseases: Statements (6 Mar 2024)

Denis Naughten: I echo the comments by colleagues on access to drugs, expansion of the heel prick test and the implementation plan for rare diseases. It is one thing having a plan but having it implemented is something different. The surprising thing about rare diseases is that despite their name, they are collectively quite common, affecting at least one in 17 people in Ireland, equating to approximately...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (6 Mar 2024)

Mary Lou McDonald: ...'s view that, in fact, the Government has done enough. I want to reiterate again today that this is not the case. The Minister is frankly delusional on this matter.

Seanad: International Women's Day: Statements (6 Mar 2024) See 2 other results from this debate

Sharon Keogan: ...understanding of the term "woman", which is rooted in science, reality and common sense. The Government is falling over itself to join these ideologues.

If a woman cannot be recognised as distinct from a man, with her own unique characteristics and irreplaceable role as mother, then the question must...

Supporting People with Disabilities and Carers: Motion [Private Members] (5 Mar 2024)

Richard Boyd Barrett: ...and it failed people with disabilities for the entire history of the State, but what people were expecting was something better and a clear commitment to rights. Instead, what we got, which was echoed in the Taoiseach's words, is the old reliance on the family, whether it is carers or women, and it is overwhelmingly women, to pick up the bill for the failure of the State to provide the...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (5 Mar 2024)

Ivana Bacik: ...'s dramatic statement by the former chair of the RTÉ board, Siún Ní Raghallaigh, clearly raises more questions for the Minister, Deputy Martin, and, indeed, the Government to respond to. I echo the calls that have been made for statements, questions and answers to be scheduled before the Dáil this week so we can finally put this matter to rest, because this has dragged...
