Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Beidh díospóireacht leanúnacht againn ar feadh cúpla mí ar an chás seo. Anyone else in doubt about the implications-----

European Council Meeting: Statements (24 Jun 2009)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Tá sin ceart go leor. Sa trí noiméid fágtha, déanfaidh mé iarracht déileáil le cúpla ceist eile. Bhí mé ag labhairt faoi the mutual defence clause. It creates obligations incompatible with any internationally-recognised definition of neutrality. Anyone in any doubt about the implications of the Lisbon treaty for Irish neutrality should read the exchange of views in the opinion...

European Council Meeting: Statements (24 Jun 2009)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Yes, but we do not support tax harmonisation. There is a difference.

European Council Meeting: Statements (24 Jun 2009)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: It is for our benefit. Fianna Fáil, despite its assurances, could not be trusted on this or any other matter of importance. With respect to workers' rights and public services, the very fact that the issue is now being treated differently, in the form of a non-legally binding declaration, demonstrates the fine and solemn words are more like an election promise by Fianna Fáil or Fine Gael...

European Council Meeting: Statements (24 Jun 2009)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I wished to put a question on the Lisbon treaty but there will be another opportunity. I refer to the European Union and Israel preferential trade agreements. Was there any discussion on the suspended upgrade of those trade agreements? Was there a discussion on scrapping or reigniting the suspended trade agreement given the continued settlement policy of Israel in the West Bank and the...

European Council Meeting: Statements (24 Jun 2009)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Fáiltím roimh an deis labhairt ar thoradh an Chruinniú Mullaigh a bhí ar siúl an tseachtain seo caite. Is ceist cuíosach casta í seo agus beidh plé fada againn uirthi sna míonna amach romhainn. Tá sé deacair míniú ceart a fháíl ar cad go díreach a tharla nó nár tharla le bliain anuas maidir leis an reifreann agus an vóta a chaith muintir na hÉireann um an dtaca seo...

European Council Meeting: Statements (24 Jun 2009)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Go díreach, agus easpa paisin uaireanta. Smaoiníonn daoine ar scaradh ach ina dhiaidh sin bíonn míshásamh agus díomá ar na clanna agus tosaíonn siad ag obair taobh thiar de dhroim an duine agus ag déanamh iarracht daoine a bhrú ar ais le chéile le pósadh, in ainneoin foláirimh an duine a dúirt "No" mar gur rud mícheart dó nó di é. Cuireann na clanna brú ar daoine in...

European Council Meeting: Statements (24 Jun 2009)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Níl. Tiocfaidh mé chuig na ceisteanna ar fad diaidh ar ndiaidh. Níor luaigh mise ná Páirtí Shinn Féin conscription le linn na díospóireachta. B'fhéidir gur luaigh daoine eíle é, ach níor luaigh Sinn Féin é.

European Council Meeting: Statements (24 Jun 2009)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Féach ar na doiciméid a chuir muid ar fáil. Níor luaigh muid conscription in aon ceann acu. Nuair a cuireadh ceist orm ar clár éigin, dúirt mé nach raibh an Eoraip ag dul sa treo seo agus gur shíl mé nach dtarlódh sin riamh. Dúirt méé sin i gcónaí. Nuair a ardaíodh an cheist sin le linn Conradh Nice, dúirt mé an rud céanna. Tá muidne ag déileáil leis na fíricí...

European Council Meeting: Statements (24 Jun 2009)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: At least we stuck by what we said after the referendum result, unlike Deputy Gilmore who said at the time the treaty was dead in the water. References to legally binding guarantees are meaningless. The guarantees are nothing more than a series of clarifications of some aspects of the Lisbon treaty. The treaty itself has not been changed. The clarifications have not altered the text, but...

European Council Meeting: Statements (24 Jun 2009)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Tá comhthéacs difriúil ann go huile agus go hiomlán. Má tá an comhthéacs chomh difriúil sin, ba chóir dul ar ais agus conradh a fháíl a bhraitheann ar an gcomhthéacs iomlán nua atá ann, mar deineadh plé ar an chonradh seo nuair a bhí an comhthéacs go hiomlán difriúil. Dá rachadh an Taoiseach ar ais, ní bheadh an conradh seo againn in aon chur. Bheadh níos mó cosanta...

European Council Meeting: Statements (24 Jun 2009)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Níl mise ag ardú taibhsí. Tá seo sa chonradh. Ba chóir don Taoiseach é a léamh an uair seo. B'fhéidir go gcuideodh sin leis míniú a fháil as.

European Council Meeting: Statements (24 Jun 2009)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Is cuma sa tsioc liom má tá níos mó eolais ag an Taoiseach. Ba chóir dó an téacs a léamh. Ansin, b'fhéidir go dtuigeadh séé. Tá sé léite agamsa cúpla uair faoi seo. Tá sé deacair é léamh, mar níor cuireadh os ár gcomhair é sa bhealach ceart.

Children's Hospital Funding: Motion (23 Jun 2009)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I welcome the opportunity to speak on this important debate. I welcome the Fine Gael motion, which is timely and, I hope, will bring to bear on the Government backbenchers the need to stand up for once in their lives. I am not critical of the staff of Our Lady's Children's Hospital, nor of the families, who deserve our praise for the contribution they have made to try to help children in...
