Seanad: Redress for Women Resident in Certain Institutions Bill 2014: Committee Stage (Resumed) (4 Mar 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I support Senator van Turnhout on this matter. We have tabled a similar amendment in respect of section 5. It has been brought to our attention that Justice for Magdalenes is extremely concerned regarding the welfare of survivors who lack capacity. The Government has decided to wait until the Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) Bill is passed before survivors can have a decision-making...

Seanad: Redress for Women Resident in Certain Institutions Bill 2014: Committee Stage (Resumed) (4 Mar 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: The issue we raised in respect of personal advocates in the context of section 2 also applies here. I question whether what is proposed in our amendment would constitute a potential charge on the Exchequer, particularly if it could done through the National Advocacy Service. I refer here to putting in place an interim solution for those women who lack capacity. I take on board the fact...

Seanad: Redress for Women Resident in Certain Institutions Bill 2014: Committee Stage (Resumed) (4 Mar 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I move amendment No. 8: In page 5, between lines 14 and 15, to insert the following:“(2) That within 1 month of enactment of this legislation the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission will independently verify, in a report laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas, that the legislation does indeed fully and faithfully implement the relevant recommendations contained within the...

Seanad: Redress for Women Resident in Certain Institutions Bill 2014: Committee Stage (Resumed) (4 Mar 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: If the Minister of State takes on board the thrust behind what we are trying to achieve, perhaps he will seek to ensure that the implementation of the ex-gratia scheme and related matters will be dealt with and that there will be some form of oversight in this regard. If he is not going to accept the amendment, perhaps he will indicate how the Houses will be notified in future, in a very...

Seanad: Redress for Women Resident in Certain Institutions Bill 2014: Committee Stage (Resumed) (4 Mar 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I have no doubt the Minister of State would, but with something this detailed and urgent, if possible, a more precise oversight mechanism needs to be put in place. A body such as the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission, IHREC, does need to independently verify the position. We could have a political argy-bargy in the House about what has been done and what has not been done but it...

Seanad: Redress for Women Resident in Certain Institutions Bill 2014: Committee Stage (Resumed) (4 Mar 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: With all due respect, the people about whom I am most concerned are the women themselves, and that they would have a mechanism to which they could resort to adjudicate on their situation and whether the promises have been delivered on. However, I do take on board the comments of colleagues and the Minister of State in terms of the wording of the amendment. I suggest we withdraw it at this...

Seanad: Commencement Matters: Universities Governance (10 Mar 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Mar a bhí mé ag rá leis an Aire taobh amuigh, tá sé i gceist agam labhairt as Gaeilge amháin sna Tithe an tseachtain seo mar gheall ar Seachtain na Gaeilge agus mar chuid de thriall cearta teanga atá ar bun agam féin agus ag cuid de mo chomhghleacaithe. Tá mé thar a bheith buíoch don Aire faoi teacht isteach. Tá mé ag...

Seanad: Commencement Matters: Universities Governance (10 Mar 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Tá iontas orm go bhfuil an tAire ag rá go bhfuil sí sásta leis an gcur chuige atá ag NUIG, fiú ar an mbunphointe nach bhfuil ionadaí ó aon cheann de na ceardchumainn a bhaineann leis an gceist seo - SIPTU, IFUT nó Aontas na Mac Léinn in Éirinn - ar an tascfhórsa. Cheapfaí, ar mhaithe leis na n-oibrithe agus na daoine atá...

Seanad: Ambulance Services in Dublin: Statements (10 Mar 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim céad fáilte roimh an Aire. De réir mar a thuigimse, tá sé i gceist na seirbhísí atá á shólathar ag Briogáid Dóiteáin Bhaile Átha Cliath a chur faoi scáth an tSeirbhís Náisiúnta Otharcharr. Caithfimid déanamh cinnte sa phróiséas seo nach bhfuil an Rialtas chun fáil réidh...

Seanad: Ireland's Diaspora Policy: Statements (10 Mar 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Mar mhíniú don Aire Stáit, mar gheall ar Seachtain na Gaeilge, táim ag labhairt i nGaeilge amháin sna Tithe an tseachtain seo. Beidh mé ag tógáil m'aitheasc ar fad i nGaeilge agus tá súil agam go mbeidh sé liom. Cuirim fáilte roimh an bpolasaí. Sílim go bhfuil go leor rudaí maithe ann. Tá go leor rudaí a...

Seanad: Order of Business (11 Mar 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ba mhaith liom mo chomhbhrón a chur in iúl do mhuintir agus clann Pól Mac an Draoi, Paul Drury, a bhásaigh le cúpla lá anuas. B'fhéidir nach raibh an pholaitíocht chéanna ná an tuairimíocht chéanna agam féin agus ag Pól, ach aon uair a casadh orm é ba léir gur duine uasal ab ea é. Bhí an-spraoi ag...

Seanad: Misuse of Drugs (Amendment) Bill 2015: Second Stage (Resumed) (11 Mar 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire. Thug an Chúirt Athchomhairc cinneadh inné maidir le halt 2(2) den Acht um Mí-Úsáid Drugaí 1997, ag rá go raibh sé neamhbhailí. Thug an t-alt áirid úd cead don Rialtas de réir ordú substaintí áiride a ainmniú mar dhrugaí smachtaithe. Beidh an reachtaíocht seo á...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Role and Remit: Office of the Ombudsman for Children (11 Mar 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Nílim sásta leis sin. Tá sé de cheart agam agus bímid ag plé leis an gCoimisinéir Teanga anseo, bímid ag plé le cúrsaí cearta. Deirtear liom go bhfuil sé de cheart agam mo theanga féin a úsáid i dTithe na Parlaiminte anseo agus tá an Cathaoirleach ag rá liom go bunúsach nach féidir liom é sin...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Role and Remit: Office of the Ombudsman for Children (11 Mar 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ba mhaith liom gach rath a ghuí ar an Uasal Muldoon ina ról nua. Tá sé iontach tábhachtach go mbeadh duine cumasach sa ról. Bhí caidreamh an-mhaith againn le Emily Logan ar an gcoiste seo. Rinne sí sár-jab ar fad. Tá mé cinnte ón méid a chloisim faoi cháil an tUasal Muldoon nach mbeidh aon laigeacht ar chor ar bith ar...

Seanad: Order of Business (24 Mar 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: The march should have been a lot bigger.

Seanad: Order of Business (24 Mar 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ba mhaith liom cuidiú leis an leasú atá molta ag an Seanadóir Heffernan ar Riar na hOibre maidir leis an díospóireacht faoi chúrsaí oifigí poist. Tá géarchéim ann i gcúrsaí tuaithe. It is important that we ask the Minister of State, Deputy Ann Phelan, to come back to the House to discuss the Leader programme and...

Seanad: Children and Family Relationships Bill 2015: Second Stage (24 Mar 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire faoin am atá sí ag tabhairt dúinn inniu. Tá mé ag éisteacht go cúramach le gach rud atá le rá aici. Tá Sinn Féin ag tacú leis an mBille seo inniu mar go bhfeicfimid go bhfuil sé thar am go dtabharfar aitheantas mar is cuí do na leaganacha éagsúla clainne atá sa Stát...

Seanad: Commencement Matters: Road Improvement Schemes (25 Mar 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim céad fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit. Táim ag ardú ceiste maidir le bóithre pobail sna ceantair Ghaeltachta. Bheadh eolas maith ag an Aire Stáit seo ar an gceist seo os rud é go bhfuil sé féin ina chónaí gar do cheantar Gaeltachta agus bíonn sé isteach agus amach ann an t-am ar fad. Bhí scéim ann a bhí...

Seanad: Commencement Matters: Road Improvement Schemes (25 Mar 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Caithfidh mé a rá go bhfuil mé an-díomách leis an bhfreagra. Bhí mé ag súil go mb'fhéidir go mbeadh dóchas éigin ag an Aire Stáit dúinn. Cé go gcreidim go bhfuil tábhacht leis an bpleanáil teanga, tá tábhacht freisin le pobal beo beithíoch a choinneáil sna ceantair Ghaeltachta. Tá an...

Seanad: Order of Business (27 Mar 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Hear, hear.
