Seán Ó Fearghaíl: It is the use of the word "murder".
- Criminal Justice (Amendment) Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (25 Sep 2024)
Helen McEntee: It is the use of that. It does not exist, so to disapply it for the aged-out child brings it onto a level playing field and brings it back to where it was. I am not saying we should not have on the Statute Book something specific about murder as it relates to children but it does not currently exist. Applying the amendment as it stands inserts something specific to murder for the aged-out...

I do not know whether the problem is that the college fails to make the effort to book all the time or whether it cannot get an ISL...

They say they are not charities but disabled people advocating for themselves....

- Companies (Corporate Governance, Enforcement and Regulatory Provisions) Bill 2024: Second Stage (25 Sep 2024)
Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to get the opportunity to talk about this proposed Bill. I have taken enough guff taken from people inside this Chamber condemning people who employ people. I happen to be one of those people for the last 40 years and more. My son is doing it now. Friday evening comes very quick when a person has a number of people to pay. The pay is one thing; there are people at home waiting...
