Education (Admission to School) Bill 2016: Report Stage (Resumed) (30 May 2018)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Measaim go bhfuil sé go maith go bhfuil an cinneadh glactha na leasuithe seo a tharraingt siar, toisc nach bhfuil aontas idir an Rialtas agus na hurlabhraithe. Bheadh sé níos fearr dá mbeadh an t-aontas sin ann, agus measaim gur léiriú é go bhfuil níos mó ama ag teastáil. Is trua nach bhful sé os ár gcomhair anois, mar go...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Regulation of Rickshaws: Discussion (30 May 2018)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: This is an issue I have been raising at the Dublin joint policing committee for a number of years. I am not in favour of an outright ban and I believe a middle ground can be achieved. Unless we get to the middle ground, however, I would understand where the Minister is coming from on this matter. I have always believed that local councils should be able to regulate jaunting cars. There...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Regulation of Rickshaws: Discussion (30 May 2018)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: If we go down the road of regulation, it would be useful. Taxis have onerous responsibilities and must comply with certain regulations. We should apply at least the same to plying this trade. In particular, there should be Garda vetting. There should be nobody with a history of the offences that some of the people have who are working with these rickshaws. The Minister mentioned there...

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Tá mé ag roinnt mo chuid ama. Measaim go bhfuil an liosta ag an Leas-Cheann Comhairle. Is moladh simplí an rud atá os ár gcomhair anseo. Tá sé molta nach mbeadh cíos i leith áitribh atá ar cíos ag mic léinn ag ardú i gcriosanna brú cíosa ar ráta níos mó ná mar atá ceadaithe d'aon sórt...

Pay Inequality in the Public Service: Statements (24 May 2018)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I will continue in the same vein as Deputy Cullinane. There is no excuse at this stage for any further delay in addressing a wrong. Unequal pay for equal work is wrong and it needs to be stopped. We need to compensate or address the anomalies that have been caused since 2011, to ensure people's pensions are not impacted because of cuts to their entrance wage or to their increments. We are...

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: No lay majority.

Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) (22 May 2018)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I have not spoken against Deputy Wallace's proposals and, if others had listened earlier, they would know I said I was mindful of the points he made. When I came in, Deputy O'Callaghan was on his feet and I heard the elitism he was talking about, in that we had to have people who were practising lawyers and so on. They are no different to the rest of us.

Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) (22 May 2018)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: He did. If he goes back to his presentation, he will see it was as if those in the legal profession are above the rest of us. He needs to be very careful in presenting the legal profession as above us. It is no different to any other profession in society. In this day and age, given the openness and transparency we are trying to create in our society, we need to try to ensure judges are...

Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) (22 May 2018)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I listened to the contributions and responses to what I had said earlier. If anybody wants a history of the anti-republican bias of judges in the Special Criminal Court, I have no problem at all; I have time to give.

Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) (22 May 2018)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I will not necessarily go into it here. It is not just about anti-republicanism and judges falling asleep on the Bench or a history of abuse to some of the people before them in that court. It is also in other courts. This commission will not necessarily deal with that, but the advantage of having laypeople involved is that at least they come with a different view of the world. We, in...

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Nuair a bhí mé ag éisteacht leis an díospóireacht seo san oifig, chuala mé roinnt de na hargóintí a bhí á dhéanamh ag Teachtaí maidir le leasú Uimh. 6, ach go háirithe. D'fhéach mé ar leasú Uimh. 7a, in ainm an Teachta Wallace, freisin. Measaim go bhfuil a lán le rá maidir leis an gceist seo....
