- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Security and Surveillance Issues: Minister for Justice and Equality (19 Feb 2014)
Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I thank the Minister. I noted his comment that one of his reasons for attending the meeting was to try to renew confidence in the Garda, etc. Deputy Clare Daly's point on exoneration was important, given the evidence provided for the committee. Notwithstanding what has been stated in the media, Mr. Simon O'Brien told the committee that the people of the State were and should be horrified...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ba mhaith liom tréaslú leis an bhfianaise a thug an Seanadóir Mulcahy dúinn inné nuair a tharraing sé aird ar an gceist seo. Spats aside, it is important the whole issue of domestic violence has been put back on the agenda. I would welcome a debate on this issue again. We have already had several debates on it. It is a very serious issue to which I have drawn...
- Seanad: Order of Business (20 Feb 2014)
Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: It feels like it sometimes. My secret is out. In all seriousness, does the Deputy Leader agree that the Minister's position is untenable as has been stated by our deputy leader, Deputy Mary Lou McDonald, because I certainly think it is? I think there are serious questions to answer. Public confidence in the Minister has been seriously damaged and the Labour Party needs to act.

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire. Ach an oiread leis an dream eile, fáiltímid roimh an mBille seo. Is maith an céim chun tosaigh aon rud a chuireann cúrsaí leathanbhanda ar fud na tíre chun cinn. Is cóir aitheantas a thabhairt dó sin agus tá sé sin á dhéanamh againn inniu. As has been stated by previous contributors, the value of...
- Seanad: ESB (Electronic Communications Networks) Bill 2013: Second Stage (20 Feb 2014)
Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: In the western region, e-learning is well-established as a delivery mode. For example, IT Sligo has pioneered its use nationally and internationally, the Mayo Education Centre has been delivering online courses internationally for the last decade and NUIG and GMIT deliver similar courses. However, online learning has been severely hampered in these institutions by inadequate upload and...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ba chóir dom a rá i dtosach báire - tá súil agam nach bhfuil aon choimhlint leasa agam sa cheist seo - go bhfuil gaol ag Rónán Ó Domhnaill le mo bhean chéile. Agus é sin ráite, ní raibh eolas dá laghad agam go raibh iarratas déanta aige, nó go raibh baint ar bith aige leis an gceapachán, go dtí gur chuala...
