Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (9 Jul 2024)

Simon Harris: Well said, indeed, Deputy Healy-Rae. I thank you for saying it. I am really sorry, as I know everybody in this House is, to hear of the abuse that the Deputy and his family had to put up, particularly in the context of the comments about and images of his late mother.

Simon Harris: It is a seriously important issue. It is fair to say that impacts on nearly all of us in different ways, if we are being honest. It is an issue that impacts people right across our country. It is an issue that particularly impacts children and younger people. There is a level of misogyny and sexism, and there are really serious issues in the context of vile online abuse. People are being...

Michael Healy-Rae: -----in that what comes out has to be truthful. It cannot be lies. There are legal implications. Why are we allowing a situation where the social media companies can broadcast whatever and there are no repercussions? That is wrong. That is what we have to get back to. We have to get back to telling the truth and being fair in our comments. We as a society have to say that we are not...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Waterways Ireland: Discussion. (9 Jul 2024)

Cian O'Callaghan: I also extend my sympathies to the families and friends of those who died at the Grand Canal. I will ask about a couple of things. How much money has been spent on erecting fencing at the canals? How much longer will the fencing be left in place? Would the money not be better spent on fixing services and improving infrastructure? Is anything being done to keep homeless people who are...

Cian O'Callaghan: It is a potential infringement of people's human rights to access safe water. As it is very serious, I would be grateful were Mr. Rowe to come back to the committee on it and on what steps his organisation will take to address that. There is no excuse for that at all. We got a huge amount of correspondence on this issue but one thing that was raised is we were told that at present,...
