Brian Ó Domhnaill: I second the amendment.

Seanad: Heritage Bill 2016: Report and Final Stages (13 Apr 2017)

Brian Ó Domhnaill: I agree with Senator David Norris. The powers set out in the section are aimed specifically at boat users and no others. Concerns have been expressed about the powers authorised officers will have under the section. For example, the Inland Waterways Association of Ireland is of the view that they are excessive and prohibitive. The concern seems to be that boat users risk being exposed to...

Seanad: Heritage Bill 2016: Report and Final Stages (13 Apr 2017)

Brian Ó Domhnaill: I have listened to a lot of the debate around the pilot issue and the hedges. Senator Marie-Louise O'Donnell, who reminds me of Gráinne Uaile, a great Irish champion who stands up and is counted when it is important, has hit the nail on the head. There is an issue here around how we define the pilot scheme. Are we going to completely abandon what was agreed here the first day, namely...

Brian Ó Domhnaill: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit agus a chuid oifigeach. Gabhaim buíochas leis as an chur i láthair a rinne sé agus an cúlra a thug sé i dtaca leis an dul chun cinn maidir leis an Straitéis 20 Bliain don Ghaeilge 2010-2030. Ó thaobh na straitéise go ginearálta de, níl a fhios agam an bhfuil cáipéis curtha le chéile...

Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Engagement with Teagasc (18 May 2017)

Brian Ó Domhnaill: I thank Professor Gerry Boyle for engaging with the committee. The whole issue of tariffs is a significantly important but divisive issue. The customs union, with the free movement of people and goods, has been beneficial to the island of Ireland. There are massive implications, which Senator O'Reilly touched on, for Border milk producers, the dominant commodity transported between North...

Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Polasaí don Oideachas Gaeltachta 2017-22: Múinteoirí Meánscoile (13 Jun 2017)

Brian Ó Domhnaill: Go raibh maith agat a Chathaoirligh. Gabhaim buíochas leis na finnéithe as an chur i láthair cuimsitheach a rinne siad. Cad is fiú an scrúdú cainte san ardteist, 25% nó 40%?

Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Polasaí don Oideachas Gaeltachta 2017-22: Múinteoirí Meánscoile (13 Jun 2017)

Brian Ó Domhnaill: 40%, beagnach leath na marcanna. Má rachfaidh é seo tríd, cuirfidh sé go leor de na coláistí samhraidh i mbaol. Níl aon dabht faoi sin. Bíonn na scoláirí a fhreastlaíonn ar na coláistí Gaeilge idir naoi nó deich mbliana d'aois agus, b'fhéidir, 15 nó 16. Tá sé seo chun deacrachtaí móra a...

Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: An Scrúdú Cainte sa tSraith Shóisearach: An Roinn Oideachais agus Scileanna (27 Jun 2017)

Brian Ó Domhnaill: Gabhaim buíochas le Dr. Hislop as ucht a chur i láthair. Tá ceist agam ar an chomhairliúchán. Dúirt Dr. Hislop nach raibh deis ag cuid de na múinteoirí a bhí ceangailte leis an ASTI bheith ag an chomhairliúchán. An mbeidh sé féaráilte a rá go mbeidh mórchuid de mhúinteoirí scoileanna T1 -...

Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: An Scrúdú Cainte sa tSraith Shóisearach: An Roinn Oideachais agus Scileanna (27 Jun 2017)

Brian Ó Domhnaill: Tá ceist bhreise agam. Táimid ag caint ar an teastas shóisearach anseo ach, i dtaca leis an ardteist go ginearálta, is é an sprioc atá ag daltaí ná na pointí is airde a fháil i ngach ábhar agus beidh siad ag iarraidh an deis sin a thapú fosta sa Ghaeilge. Ó thaobh na Gaeilge labhartha, bhí deis acu 40% de na marcanna a...

Seanad: National Housing Co-operative Bill 2017: Second Stage (28 Jun 2017)

Brian Ó Domhnaill: I welcome the new Minister of State to the House. I congratulate him on his appointment and I wish him well. This is vitally important legislation. It is much more important than the discussion that has taken place over the past week about judicial appointments because this matters to people in their daily lives. This is about keeping them in their family homes and protecting their...
