Seanad: Court of Appeal Bill 2014: Second Stage (16 Jul 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire. Tá áthas orm bheith in ann seasamh anseo anocht agus tacaíocht a thabhairt don Bhille seo atá ag teacht tríd. As everyone is aware, the referendum which took place on 4 October 2013 was required in order to make the necessary constitutional provision for the establishment of the Court of Appeal. It was carried by 65% of the people....

Seanad: Court of Appeal Bill 2014: Second Stage (16 Jul 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ceart go leor. Go raibh maith agat. Access to the courts and to justice is a constitutional right and yet the expense involved can run into astonishingly high figures, thereby acting as a barrier to people seeking to exercise this right. We know that if cases move faster the chances of reducing costs are better. We know the plan under discussion envisages that the new court of appeal...

Seanad: Adjournment Matters: Seirbhísí Eitilte (16 Jul 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim céad fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit agus gabhaim comhghairdeas leis as ucht a cheapachán - tá a fhios agam go bhfuil sé ag tarraingt neart cainte. Bíodh sin mar atá, tá an tAire Stáit sa ról anois agus tá súil agam go n-éireoidh go maith leis ann. Táim cinnte go mbeidh muid i gcomhrá go minic sa Seanad ar an...

Seanad: Adjournment Matters: Seirbhísí Eitilte (16 Jul 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Táim an-bhuíoch as an bhfreagra sin. Is scéal maith é go bhfuil an obair fós ar siúl agus nach bhfuil an cinneadh glactha go hiomlán. An mbeadh an tAire sásta bualadh leis na páirtithe éagsúla a bhfuil suim acu sa scéal seo, go háirithe Garda Cósta na hÉireann? Measann daoine sa gceantar go mbeadh sé...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Report on “A Good Death”: Office of the Ombudsman (16 Jul 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim fáilte roimh na finnéithe. Táimid an-bhuíoch gur tháinig siad isteach. I thank the Office of the Ombudsman for the report. It is interesting for members to come at it from a different angle. Is Mr. Tyndall telling us that, in one sense, the report is a benchmark and that the Office of the Ombudsman is laying down the baseline for future data that will be...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Report on “A Good Death”: Office of the Ombudsman (16 Jul 2014)

Seanad: Order of Business (17 Jul 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I dtosach báire, ba mhaith liom fáilte a chur roimh an dream atá anseo i nGailearaí na gCuairteoirí ó Chumann Náisiúnta na mBodhar. I would like to say hello to the people from the Irish Deaf Society who are in the Public Gallery. I wholeheartedly support the call for the debate. It is absolutely essential that this funding be restored. I think I...

Seanad: Order of Business (17 Sep 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ba mhaith liom chuile dhuine a fháiltiú ar ais. Cuirim fáilte freisin roimh an gceapachán atá déanta ag an Rialtas go mbeidh Aire tuaithe againn. I welcome the appointment of a Minister with responsibility for rural affairs. Having attended the Teagasc rural development conference this morning, it is quite obvious there is a great need for a Minister to work in...

Seanad: Direct Provision System: Motion (17 Sep 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ba mhaith liom fáilte a chur roimh an Aire Stáit agus comhghairdeas a dhéanamh leis as a cheapachán. Fáiltím go mór leis na ráitis atá déanta aige maidir leis an ábhar seo ón am a cheapadh é. Mar a deirimid i nGaeilge, ní ionann caint agus gníomh. Beimid ag súíl leis na gníomhartha réasúnta...

Seanad: Direct Provision System: Motion (17 Sep 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I will finish very quickly. I agree with Mrs. Justice Catherine McGuinness, former Ombudsman Emily O'Reilly, Mr. Peter Tyndall, Ms Emily Logan and all the Senators who have contributed. Tá sé in am gníomh anois. Beimid ag tabhairt go leor tacaíochta don Aire Stáit. Tá súil agam nach bhfaighimid an freagra céanna a bhfuaireamar ón Teachta...

Seanad: Civil Registration (Amendment) Bill 2014: Committee Stage (17 Sep 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit. Gabhaim comhghairdeas leis as a ardú céime. I do not wish to speak on the amendments per se. I simply want to say that Sinn Féin will be abstaining on them, while reserving the right to introduce amendments on Report Stage.

Seanad: Civil Registration (Amendment) Bill 2014: Committee Stage (17 Sep 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: We will abstain from voting on these amendments but reserve the right to return with amendments on Report Stage.

Seanad: Forestry Bill 2013: Second Stage (1 Oct 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Uair ar bith a fheicim foraoiseacht ar an gclár anseo sa Seanad, caithfidh mé a rá go dtéann mo chuimhne siar go dtí an iar-Aire, Shane McEntee, a bhí linn anseo go minic ag caint faoi chúrsaí foraoiseachta. Every time I see forestry come up on our schedule my mind goes back to the last debate we had with the former Minister of State, Shane MacEntee....

Seanad: Fluoridation of Water: Motion (1 Oct 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I dtús báire, ba mhaith liom fáilte a chur roimh an Aire Stáit Nash agus comhghairdeas a dhéanamh leis faoin ardú céime atá faighte aige agus gach rath a ghuí air. Beimid á mharcáil go tréan agus táim ag súil leis. Sinn Féin has put forward an amendment to the motion which in no way negates the sentiment that is being...

Seanad: Fluoridation of Water: Motion (1 Oct 2014)
