Seanad: Order of Business (22 Jan 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Tá sé suimiúil le tabhairt faoi deara gurb é seo an comóradh chéad bliain den Chéad Cogadh Domhanda, ach tharla rud eile suntasach i Mí Dheireadh Fómhair 1914, is é sin gur bhunaigh Séamus Ó Conghaile Léig Neodracht na hÉireann. This year marks the centenary of the beginning of the First World War. In October of that...

Seanad: Common Agricultural Policy and Rural Development Programme: Statements (22 Jan 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I thank Senator Quinn for sharing his time. Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire. Sinn Féin has always argued that CAP funding should be distributed on a fair and equitable basis and should direct supports to those who need them within the farming sector. We want to see an end to a situation whereby a few individuals at the top of the farming pile receive the lion’s share of the...

Seanad: Recognition of Irish Sign Language for the Deaf Community Bill 2013: Second Stage (22 Jan 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Tá an-áthas orm bheith anseo le labhairt ar an mBille fíorthábhachtach seo. My friend and colleague, Senator Conway, suggested that I not speak for too long in Irish so that we can make things a little bit easier for the person who is signing our contributions. I am glad the Bill is before the House and I am delighted to speak on it. I commend the Senators on bringing it...

Seanad: Adjournment Matters: Domestic Violence Policy (22 Jan 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire. Tá mé thar a bheith buíoch di as teacht isteach anocht agus an rún seo a thógáil. I have raised this issue with the Minister previously. I attend the joint policing committee meetings for both Galway county and city. It has been alarming to note over recent years and in particular over the past year and a half, that the...

Seanad: Adjournment Matters: Domestic Violence Policy (22 Jan 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I thank the Minister for her reply and I support the efforts being made to deal with the matter. Is it possible to get a further breakdown of the figures of the 60 services? How much funding did each organisation receive? I would be grateful if she could also supply me with the 2012 figures.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Decisions on Public Petitions Received (22 Jan 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: As a committee we were not happy with the response from the Department. There is merit in the position being proposed by the Equality Budgeting Campaign. We would like to opt for recommendation No. 2, namely, to invite the petitioner to attend a meeting to outline to us how equality budgeting works in a practical manner in other jurisdictions and how it might be taken on board in Ireland....

Seanad: Recent Severe Storm Damage: Statements (23 Jan 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit. Tá brón orm nach raibh mé anseo nuair a bhí sé ag tabhairt a aitheasc. Bhí mé thíos ag coiste eile. Tá mé an-sásta go bhfuil an díospóireacht seo againn. Tá go leor deacrachtaí cruthaithe i gConamara maidir leis na fadhbanna a bhí ann ó thaobh na haimsire de....

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: For the Minister of State's information, Galway County Council told people, as recently as yesterday, that it does not want to have anything to do with the matter and it is not its problem. I ask him to follow the matter up because that is what people on the ground are being told.

Seanad: Adjournment Matters: Shannon Airport Facilities (23 Jan 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit. Tá mé ag ardú ceist aoradh Margaretta D'Arcy, atá i mbéal an phobail le seachtain anuas. The question I pose has come more into the public domain this week due the incarceration of Margaretta D'Arcy. She is a peace activist, member of Aosdána, an artist and film maker. She has been sent to Limerick Prison for three...

Seanad: Adjournment Matters: Shannon Airport Facilities (23 Jan 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: What is the Government's policy on the matter? When will it take action? When will it carry out inspections at Shannon Airport? How many aeroplanes have been stopped and searched over the term of the Government? What action has been taken to act on the reports by the Council of Europe, Amnesty International, etc., to ensure that Ireland's neutrality is sacrosanct? There has been a lot of...

Seanad: Adjournment Matters: Shannon Airport Facilities (23 Jan 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: This is the verbatim statement given for the past ten to 15 years on this issue and it is simply not acceptable. I do not accept US assurances that there is no issue here because, as we saw in the case of the telephone tapping of dignitaries around the world, it told us one thing but another thing was happening. This is a sovereign State and if there is nothing to hide on these US...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I dtús báire, ba mhaith liom fáilte a chur roimh an gcoimisinéir agus a rá go bhfuil an-aiféal orm gur bhraith sé go raibh air an cinneadh a ghlac sé a ghlacadh. Tháinig sé aniar aduaidh orainn ag an comhchoishte an lá eile nuair a d'inis an coimisinéir dúinn go raibh sé chun éirí as a phost, ach tuigim go...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Le bheith soiléir, nach é Roinn na Gaeltachta atá ag feidhmiú daingniú na scéimeanna? Tá an cúram sin ar an Roinn, seachas ar Oifig an Choimisinéara Teanga.
