Robbie Gallagher: ...strong supplies of extra fodder available and farmers have been helping each other out with that, which is good. However, as each day of April ticks by, these stocks deplete while the prospect of land being able to take stock or machinery remains poor and in some cases is non-existent. We will all experience tough times in our lives. Mental health problems can range from a low or a sad...

Robbie Gallagher: ...where he is today because of a criminal justice failure - a systems failure. The man who was driving the car that night, as Senator Doherty said, probably should never have seen the shores of this land. He never should have got in here in the first place yet he was to run for years, committing crimes, involved in drug dealing, yet at large to do what he did on that particular night. I...

Robbie Gallagher: ...sentences for offences while at all times allowing the court the flexibility to adjudicate and deliver whatever sentence it sees fit, based on the evidence presented to it, that is only right.

Robbie Gallagher: ...by Senator Higgins, I am aware of a situation in Donegal where a right of way had long been established across a beach. People enjoyed that right for many years but a developer bought a farm and land which ran down to the sea. The developer subsequently built holiday homes and a hotel, and advertised them with exclusive and private rights onto the beach. It proved a controversial...

Robbie Gallagher: ...there. There are many agendas in this House as there are in the Lower House. Occasionally, those agendas come to the fore. The key message we must hammer home is that this legislation refers only to residential lands. It is important that this message goes out to every local authority in the country. I know the motivation behind county councillors throughout the length and breadth of...

Seanad: Nursing Homes Support Scheme (Amendment) Bill 2021: Second Stage (15 Jul 2021)

Robbie Gallagher: ...of any kind. As someone who was born and reared on a small farm, I know that sometimes it is a labour of love and does not provide any great financial gain. In many ways the cost of maintaining land may exceed any income it might provide. Five of us were reared on 20 acres of land in Donegal, not far from where Senator Blaney lives. I know the trauma and stress families face when a...

Robbie Gallagher: ...space some pubs and restaurants are using to serve alcohol in some instances. There is a question mark over whether that is legal or not.

Seanad: Climate Action and Low Carbon Development (Amendment) Bill 2021: Second Stage (21 Jun 2021)

Robbie Gallagher: ...policy on climate change needs to be foreign policy. I came across some quite startling statistics recently that show China's daily emissions are equivalent to a full year of emissions by Ireland, and that the US, China and the EU make up 55% of the world's emissions. This clearly shows that unless we get a global response to this emergency we will be, unfortunately, in trouble. Change...

Alternatively, the person seeking the right of way can lodge an application with the land registry,...
