Marc Ó Cathasaigh: .... They are engaging in huge amounts of administration, they are not getting to see children and the whole structure is not working for them. As I said, I really want this to work for children. I echo some of the points made by Deputy Murphy about eating disorders and provision for eating disorders within the south east.

I welcome that. I echo what my colleagues said about the patrol duty allowance that came into effect this day last month. The allowance has been doubled. This landed very well with those in...

Annie Hoey: ...from participating in the electoral process. The last two local and European elections were held in May, so there was not any question of them being held in the middle of the examinations. I echo their calls. Perhaps other people here will engage on that. I do not know if Saturday voting is possible, but it is concerning that it is in the middle of the leaving certificate.

Seanad: Family Carers: Motion [Private Members] (31 Jan 2024)

Malcolm Byrne: ...to pursue particular legal cases because it is afraid of setting precedents. If it actually looked at the cost if carers stopped providing their supports, the costs to the State would be phenomenal. I echo Senator Lombard's point about voluntary bodies.

Denis Naughten: I have a couple of questions and Deputy Ó Cuív has questions as well. First, I wish to say to the Department, as well as to echo what the Leas-Chathaoirleach, Deputy Ó Cathasaigh, has said, that using the straw man model is an effective tool in promoting engagement on an issue. Issues such as the one before the committee today are abstract until they are developed or drafted...

Seán Fleming: The situation in the Gaza Strip is deeply shocking and I echo the comments of the Tánaiste and Deputies here in this House in decrying the appalling conditions in which the people of Gaza are now living and the terrible loss of life. The Government's priorities are clear and consistent. It is clear that a durable ceasefire is needed immediately and that there needs to be a drastic...

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: ...place at the moment in Cork city and county, even if one has the money to spend what is effectively a second mortgage.

Charities (Amendment) Bill 2023: Second Stage (25 Jan 2024)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: There will be a large amount of repetition of the contributions made by the Minister of State and members of the main Opposition party.

One of the aspects that was most useful had to do with how there was a fair amount of anxiety when the heads of the Bill were produced. The session...

Tribunal of Inquiry into certain matters relating to the Complaints Processes in the Defence Forces: Motion (24 Jan 2024)

Gary Gannon: ...at the beginning. For many, it is too late to undo the horrors they were found to have experienced, but this only provides a greater incentive to ensure such wrongdoing never again occurs in the future.

Post-European Council Meeting: Statements (24 Jan 2024)

Brendan Howlin: ...is frightening. The utterances of the leaders of the Alternative für Deutschland party, who, basically, talked about mass deportations, including of German citizens deemed to be non-German, have echoes of the darkest days of Germany's past. There is a fear that those sentiments will be echoed across many European states. We need to be clear and robust in our defence of the basic...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (24 Jan 2024)

Tom Clonan: ...or precedent is being set where we rush through and guillotine very important legislation. It is not a personal matter for us.

I was delighted to be able to participate in the awareness workshop and the little certificate I received has...
