Education for Persons with Disabilities Bill 2003: Report Stage (Resumed). (13 May 2004)

Jan O'Sullivan: ...makes provision for recourse to the appeals board, but that is a cumbersome procedure. I would like to see parents having a greater right because, essentially, we are talking about cases where they feel their children are not progressing as well as they should under the plan. Parents feel strongly in these situations and it would be unlikely they would call for a review unless they had...

Seanad: Credit Institutions (Financial Support) Bill 2008: Committee Stage. (1 Oct 2008)

Alan Kelly: ...Oireachtas Committee on Finance and the Public Service and any other person or body". The Minister is given specific powers in section 5 that during the two-year period he can make regulations he feels necessary and expedite them in any way possible to execute this Act. Under this amendment we propose that instead of the Minister's feeling it is appropriate to bring any considerations to...

Seanad: Health Bill 2004: Committee Stage. (14 Dec 2004)

Kathleen O'Meara: I do not believe they will. We must wait and see. Communities feel strongly about the level of health services available to them. They also quite rightly feel they should have some say and their opinion should be taken into account. This legislation is not about the Hanly report. However, in fairness to Mr. Hanly, he came to a public meeting in Nenagh over a year ago to roll out his proposed...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: School Staffing (8 Oct 2013)

Ruairi Quinn: ...in many respects. It is a community issue, including within the school itself. As the Minister of State, Deputy Kathleen Lynch, stated when we launched the document, if a person is in trouble or feels the need to access help, he or she should feel free in the first instance to approach a member of staff and the school staff community should empower itself so that, if a young person...

Supreme Court Ruling in the X Case: Motion [Private Members] (20 Nov 2012)

Kathleen Lynch: There are times when language is inadequate and words cannot express the sentiment we feel in terms of offering condolences to particular families for the circumstances in which they find themselves. We have all been there. Last week, when the news broke about Savita's death, there was a sense of undying sadness that once again we were faced with the death of a young, vibrant mother. We do...

Common Agricultural Policy: Statements (16 Jun 2021)

Seán Sherlock: I genuinely do not wish to put the Minister on the hook but all those of us who will support the climate action Bill tonight still feel strongly that not enough time was given to explore issues such as how biogenic methane would be dealt with, regardless of which side of the argument one is on. There is, however, a genuine concern on the part of farming organisations that the Bill does not...

Sea-Fisheries (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages (2 Feb 2022) See 1 other result from this debate

Seán Sherlock: ...over the years. Was due cognisance taken of the fact that we are in a common law system? Whether or not there is a criminal sanction for the application of a penalty points system, fishers feel put upon, whether through decommissioning schemes or the outworkings of negotiations at intergovernmental level in respect of Britain's exit from the European Union. There is frustration on the...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla (Atógáil) - Topical Issue Debate (Resumed): Community Development Projects (14 Jul 2022)

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: ...in that area in 50 years' time and say that we put everything in place to ensure that the area was a thriving community, a place to be proud of, a place to bring up children and a place for families to feel safe and secure. I do not like the arm's-length response that we often get from Departments, as if there is no influence that can be brought to bear. Having said that, the message...

Access to Autism and Disability Assessments and Supports: Motion [Private Members] (24 May 2023)

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: ..., a motion on autism. That is because in our interactions with families who have autistic people within them, they know they are being treated as second-class citizens and they are exhausted. I feel as though I have made this contribution far too often, but it is heartbreaking to look at your child and, within your heart, to know they are being treated as a second-class citizen. These...

Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2012: Committee and Remaining Stages (24 May 2012)

Jan O'Sullivan: These issues always give rise to very strong feelings. The amendment refers to the report of the Limerick local government committee which recommended the incorporation of a small area north of the River Shannon in County Clare. There is logic to the committee's proposal in terms of the overall shape of the city and with regard to the points made by Deputy Coffey. However, the...

Leaders' Questions. (15 Nov 2005) See 1 other result from this debate

Pat Rabbitte: ...and some of the communities where gangland rule dictates is very severe. The previous Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, Deputy O'Donoghue, said he would be judged by how safe people feel in their homes and on the streets at the end of his term. If he were to be, it would be a very harsh judgment because people do not feel safe in their homes or on the streets. People are...

Assessment of Needs for Children with Special Education Requirements: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (8 Mar 2022)

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: ..., if not a full-time one, to wage war against the State. That is what is so disappointing about this situation. Parents live their lives as citizens of this republic and do everything they feel is right. They pay their taxes, obey the law and live a good life, but all of a sudden they have a child in their care who they love deeply and they can see the State is coming up short. That...

An Bille um an gCeathrú Leasú is Tríocha ar an mBunreacht (Comhionannas Pósta) 2015: An Dara Céim (Atógáil) - Thirty-fourth Amendment of the Constitution (Marriage Equality) Bill 2015: Second Stage (Resumed) (11 Mar 2015)

John Lyons: ...until recently. People are not being beaten to death for being gay today, but let us not forget that there are people who are stigmatised and cannot be themselves today because they are gay or feel they are treated differently. In 1974, a gay person was seen as having a mental disorder and had to visit a doctor to check if he or she was okay. Thankfully, we no longer have to do...

Leaders' Questions. (7 Mar 2006)

Pat Rabbitte: ...using firearms in the six years, 1998-2004. That is the record inherited from the Minister for zero tolerance, who said we could judge him at the end of his term of office by whether our citizens feel safer in their homes and in the streets. They feel safer in neither and that is his legacy. Deputy O'Donoghue cynically trotted out his policy of zero tolerance for months on end, while the...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Land Development Agency Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (1 Jun 2021)

Duncan Smith: ...out of the equation. The value of land is the fundamental issue as to why house prices are the way they are. It feeds into the cost of everything related to that. That is where this amendment is coming from. We feel that if the Land Development Agency Bill is to work it will require amendments such as this. This amendment will ensure that, when proposals are brought by the Land...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Irish Water Funding (28 Jan 2015)

Alan Kelly: ...who have their own wells, and they have invested huge amounts of money in protecting their own water infrastructure. They are very happy with the scheme that has been put in place. If the Deputy feels that giving €100 as a water conservation grant is a case of creative accounting, does she feel the same about the fuel allowance, which is given out in a very similar way?

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (2 Jun 2021)

Alan Kelly: I was enjoying that. We all know there is so much hurt out there felt by the survivors of the mother and baby homes and their families. They feel let down by the report of the commission. They also feel let down that the three members of the commission would not come before the Oireachtas children's committee to discuss their findings. Last night, however, Oxford University advertised...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: School Patronage (23 Mar 2023)

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: ...than a parent who might have two or three children who are not yet in school but who live in the catchment area? It is patently not fair. It has led to incredible division and an uncomfortable feeling around the whole discussion. No one on either side of the debate feels their views were heard. There is a huge amount of confusion around it. Will the Minister start a new process?...

Seanad: Protection of the Environment Bill 2003: Committee Stage. (25 Feb 2003) See 1 other result from this debate

Brendan Ryan: In what language was the directive first written? I have the feeling this definition could have been the victim of a translation from one or more languages. I am not suggesting we insert the French version.

Seanad: Social Welfare (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2003: Second Stage (Resumed). (25 Mar 2003)

Michael McCarthy: I welcome the Minister for Social and Family Affairs and I extend the opportunity of political transition to Senator Cox who feels hard done by. She is welcome to take a seat on this side of the House.
