Regina Doherty: No.

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (26 Oct 2023)

Regina Doherty: The Order of Business is No. 1, motion regarding proposed approval by Seanad Éireann of a proposal for a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing minimum standards on the rights, supports and protections of victims of crime, to be taken on conclusion of the Order of Business, without debate; and No. 2 the Energy (Windfall Gains in the Energy Sector) (Cap on...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (26 Oct 2023)

Regina Doherty: I know the Senator thinks I think that.

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (26 Oct 2023)

Regina Doherty: I thank Senator Ahearn for asking for the debate on sports capital grants because it is something that is very important to all of us and to our local councillors up and down the country. We all know the value of our local sporting organisations. I suggest the problem the Senator has in Clonmel is probably replicated in various parts of the country. In my neck of the woods, we have an...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (26 Oct 2023)

Regina Doherty: It is true of everybody. It is actually quite worrying to hear the Dublin Airport Authority, DAA, talking about managing the cap in the middle of October as if we are going to somehow ration travel in the next eight or ten weeks before Christmas. That debate certainly will be welcome and I will request it as quickly as I can. Senator McGahon raised the very important work that Outcomers...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (26 Oct 2023)

Regina Doherty: If the Senator texts me, I will talk to the Minister for Education and the Secretary General in the Department to see if there is anything. These things are never as clear as they seem but, whatever is wrong, it would be a shame to see a company that is only new in the last couple of years and doing well to be in trouble because the State will not pay its bills. I will come back to the Senator.

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (26 Oct 2023)

Regina Doherty: Senator Gallagher spoke of his joy at the 50-year celebration today of the Holy Family School, Cootehill, which caters for 182 kids. The school has gone from strength to strength and is in a brand new state-of-the-art building, which is nothing less than they deserve. We send them our good wishes. Senator Wall asked for statements on housing, particularly the housing adaptation grants and...

Seanad: EU Directives: Motion (26 Oct 2023)

Regina Doherty: I move: That Seanad Éireann approves the exercise by the State of the option or discretion under Protocol No. 21 on the position of the United Kingdom and Ireland in respect of the area of freedom, security and justice annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, to take part in the adoption and application of the following...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (25 Oct 2023)

Regina Doherty: Today I wish to talk about swimming because in north County Dublin we are blessed with some of the best beaches in the whole country but for the two fastest-growing constituencies of Fingal East and Fingal West there is a massive population but not a single swimming pool for more than 100,000 people. The issue has been raised on numerous occasions here by me and elsewhere by our local...

Regina Doherty: Now.

Seanad: Non-Fatal Offences against the Person (Amendment) (Spiking) Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) and Remaining Stages (25 Oct 2023)

Regina Doherty: I thank the Minister. This is as relevant to my party as it is to the parties of all colleagues. The partnership that exists between Young Fine Gael, members of which are in the Gallery today, and the little bit older Fine Gael that exists in the Seanad has made for an incredible relationship over recent years. This Bill passing is the outcome of the campaign conducted by Young Fine Gael...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Safety: Discussion (25 Oct 2023)

Regina Doherty: I have a couple of questions to ask the Minister of State rather than giving him four or five. In case he gets the impression that I am not 100% behind the what he is doing, it is not that I am trying to pick holes but I genuinely have concerns. I am very concerned at how the number of fatalities on the roads has increased in the past three and a half to four years, in particular in light...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Safety: Discussion (25 Oct 2023)

Regina Doherty: It is unfair to ask the Minister of State these questions because he is not responsible for this, but he might know the answer. We could all sit here and talk about the difficulties we have with enforcement because we do not have enough gardaí. I know we are getting 1,000 more and yesterday we were told we need 2,000 more. We will get there, I have no doubt, but in the absence of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Safety: Discussion (25 Oct 2023)

Regina Doherty: It could not go any higher.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Safety: Discussion (25 Oct 2023)

Regina Doherty: I am sure the Minister of State has statistics, which is why I ask the following. Why is our behaviour different on a bank holiday Monday from what it would be on a Thursday night or a normal family drive on a Sunday? Are we in a hurry getting home? Is it the weather?
