Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Welfare and Safety of Workers and Patients in Public Health Service: Discussion (8 Feb 2023)

Annie Hoey: ...There is a nurse here and I want to thank her for coming in and sharing her testimony. She has elaborated on the impact the assaults are having on her and her colleagues. Does she go into work every day feeling safe? I cannot believe that in 2023 in a committee, we are asking the question, "Do you even feel safe going into work?" I cannot believe that we are at that. We should not be...

Other Questions: Bullying in Schools (6 Oct 2015)

Jan O'Sullivan: We have been following up on finding out how parents and pupils feel about the anti-bullying procedures in schools. The information tells us there is a high degree of confidence among both parents and children with respect to what schools are doing to have a positive anti-bullying climate and responding where there are incidents of bullying. We monitor it in that way. For example, 98% of...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (22 Jun 2023)

Annie Hoey: ...be a safe family of friendly and fun events. It will be filled with colour, laughter and joy. For a huge amount of the community we are almost separated from those dark times when people did not feel safe to walk down the streets and when people could not stand up in their national Parliament and say they were out. Other members of the community are still facing harassment daily. They...

Employees (Provision of Information and Consultation) Bill 2005 [Seanad]: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stages. (22 Mar 2006)

Brendan Howlin: ...will work out reasonably well. However, we must ensure that the people who take on these representational roles are not penalised, that there are mechanisms to protect them and that people will not feel loath to take on such roles because of feeling they would be significantly disadvantaged by doing so. I know that is the intent of the Minister of State and I hope the formulation he has...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Aviation Industry (19 Jan 2023)

Duncan Smith: ...has been a huge breach of trust and there is a collapse in trust in the communities there. All local and statutory bodies need to be out in the communities speaking with the residents because they feel they are being ignored and are being given the runaround. They feel that they are not being told the truth about what their lives are going to be like in the coming months and years ahead.

Other Questions: Child Care Services Provision (4 Jul 2013)

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: ...sector tell me that they were horrified by what they saw on the RTE programme. It is for their benefit that these qualification standards will be rolled out in Síolta and Aistear. However, they feel that their terms and conditions of employment are not great. They do not have much job security and their pay is very low. If we are to genuinely invest in this sector, we need people...

Adoption Bill 2009 [Seanad]: Report Stage (Resumed) (2 Jun 2010)

Jan O'Sullivan: .... Anybody would understand what we are trying to achieve and consider it appropriate. We cannot expect children to speak in sophisticated language but they can speak their mind. They have strong feelings. Certainly, any child in such a situation would have strong feelings on this matter. I ask the Minister of State to reconsider his decision not to accept the amendment.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Use of Commonage Lands: Discussion with Teagasc, NARGC and Golden Eagle Trust (12 Feb 2013)

Susan O'Keeffe: ..., Food and the Marine part of the group? If not, why not? There is no mention in either of the presentations of the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine. Why is that? Do the witnesses feel they are climbing a very high mountain and, if so, is the summit in sight? It is hard to get an idea, from trying to read between the lines, of the level of the struggle in which they are...

Seanad: Finance Bill 2013 [Certified Money Bill]: Committee and Remaining Stages (21 Mar 2013)

Aideen Hayden: I have mixed feelings about this provision because as I understand it pre-retirement access excludes self-employed sole traders and unlimited partnerships, persons who can contribute only to personal pensions or PRSAs. I have often listened to Senator Crown advocate very strongly the idea that self-employed people should be able to access their pension funds for good reason, not least...

Equality (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2013 [Seanad]: Second Stage (18 Nov 2015)

John Lyons: ...the recent referendum campaign, as my colleague also outlined, and from my personal life, that there are many examples of people who, in spite of the passage of the referendum on same-sex marriage, would not feel completely comfortable walking into their staff room and speaking about their private circumstances. That is such a shame in a modern society that people still feel that way. We...

Leaders' Questions (27 Jun 2007) See 1 other result from this debate

Pat Rabbitte: ...is telling the untruths or have we reached the stage where we are unable to see the distinction? Either Deputy Flynn has an agreement with the Taoiseach or she does not. Why did the Taoiseach feel it necessary to intervene in the extraordinary fashion in which he did, including holding out the prospect of office to this Deputy who was expelled from the parliamentary party and the Fianna...

Merchant Shipping Bill 2009: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (2 Jun 2010)

Tommy Broughan: I welcome amendment No. 88. The Minister has come a long way in addressing the issues raised on Committee Stage. We sometimes feel that we do not get important information on issues we need to discuss or are discussing. Issues seem to arise at 6 p.m. on a Friday. We have been through that before, as the Acting Chairman will remember, with other issues in the maritime area. We tend to hear...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Public Transport (10 Nov 2022)

Duncan Smith: ...page. I do not agree with having a separate transport police or the private outsourcing of security. I do not like the level of security on the Luas because it adds to the degree to which people feel unsafe. Rather than increasing security measures on public transport, I would rather see traditional staffing levels improved across our public transport system in line with a stronger,...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Departmental Meetings (18 Jan 2024)

Duncan Smith: ...the appointment of the HSE clinical lead, while the groups are obviously aware that they have no formal role in such an appointment, given that this is a small and vulnerable group of people, they feel that engagement regarding that role or position would be important. This community has insights in terms of who provides the specialist care and who would give confidence in the provision...

Grangegorman Development Agency Bill 2004: Report Stage (Resumed). (1 Jun 2005)

Jan O'Sullivan: ...between the executive and the body in charge so as not to blur responsibilities. I raised this amendment for the Minister's consideration, but will not press it. With regard to amendment No. 86, I feel strongly there should be an opportunity to express an opinion. For example, if the Joint Committee on Education and Science calls in chief executives on issues dealt with by this or any...

Seanad: Agency for the Irish Abroad: Motion. (24 Mar 2004)

Brendan Ryan: This debate was characterised by a profound depth of feeling. There is agreement about the scale of the disaster we allowed to fall upon our society. I do not blame anyone in particular for this, but we failed as a society. The amount of emigration that took place was neither necessary nor inevitable. Political debate, however, is not the place for a group catharsis of deeply held emotions....

Seanad: Finance Bill 2014: Second Stage (4 Dec 2014)

John Kelly: I welcome the Minister of State to the House. The budget was a good one and did not get the media attention it deserved. It lost out to the water issue. People will start to feel the budget in their pockets from the beginning of the year. Maybe then we will see an appreciation of what the budget contained. I recognise the moves that have been made in the budget to tackle USC this year....

Committee on Health and Children: Select Sub-Committee on Health: Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill 2013: Committee Stage (Resumed) (3 Jul 2013)

Ciara Conway: ...The impediment to access to services for some affected women is often the very unfortunate fact that there is a considerable stigma associated with abortion in Ireland such that women do not always feel they can share information with doctors. I, for one, hope the discussion we have had in the Oireachtas over recent months will be a starting point in reducing the stigma and allowing women...

Traveller Culture and History in Education Bill 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (1 Jul 2021)

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: ...race card or the anti-immigrant card, outside of a referendum in 2004. We should cling to that and build on it. What every child, person and human is looking for is a sense of belonging, to feel significant, wanted and needed. In the history of this State, we often undertook an experiment of sameness, where we presented, through our education system, an experience of Irishness that...

Seanad: Order of Business (Resumed) (15 Jul 2013)

Jimmy Harte: ...has a problem with a reasoned debate on the future of the Seanad and every Member will accept whatever the public decide, one cannot use people with disabilities as a bargaining position to make the public feel guilty. It is unacceptable to suggest that were people to decide to retain the Seanad, they should feel guilty about so doing because it will mean that people with disabilities...
