Seanad: Order of Business (26 May 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Hear, hear.

Seanad: Customs Bill 2014: Second Stage (26 May 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim céad fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit. I dtosach báire, ba mhaith liom a rá go bhfuil mé féin agus mo pháirtí ag tacú leis an mBille seo. Tuigimid gur Bille teicniúil go leor é ach go bhfuil sé fíorthábhachtach ag an am céanna. My party will support the Bill. It is technical in nature, but we should...

Seanad: National Drugs Strategy: Statements (26 May 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim céad fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit. Fáiltím go mór roimh an díospóireacht iontach tábhachtach seo agus fáiltím freisin roimh ceapachán an Aire Stáit mar Aire atá ag plé le cúrsaí drugaí. Ach an oiread leis an Seanadóir a bhí ag labhairt romham, is deacair a fheiceáil, cé chomh...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Fisheries Local Action Groups: Bord Iascaigh Mhara (27 May 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Gabhaim buíochas le BIM faoin cur i láthair. I will not go over ground that has been covered, but I echo the sentiments expressed. I take it that none of the funding available can be used to help those still engaged in fishing in dealing with issues such as safety and upgrading. We recently had a delegation in Brussels who talked about the way the European Fisheries Fund, EFF,...

Seanad: Commencement Matters: Scéimeanna Teanga (28 May 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim céad fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit. Tá brón orm gur tharraing mé isteach sa Seanad inniu é, ach bhraith mé nach raibh an dara rogha agam mar gur chur mé ceist chuig a oifig trí seachtaine ó shin maidir leis seo. Leis an gceart a thabhairt dó, dúirt sé go gcuirfeadh sé ar aghaidh é chuig an Roinn le freagra a...

Seanad: Commencement Matters: Scéimeanna Teanga (28 May 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Táim buíoch den Aire Stáit agus beidh mé ag súil leis na freagraí cuimsitheacha atá luaite aige a fháil uaidh chomh luath agus is féidir. Is dócha gurb í an bhuncheist anseo ná go bhfuil difríocht idir Údarás na Gaeltachta agus Muintearas, cé gur fochuideacht é Muintearas de chuid Údarás na...

Seanad: Order of Business (28 May 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ba mhaith liom aontú leis na cainteoirí ar an dtaobh seo den Teach atá tar éis a gcuid imní maidir leis an díolachán atá ar bun de Aer Lingus a lua chomh maith. What is happening around the Aer Lingus debacle is really disgraceful, rushing through such an important and strategic decision without the full information being given to these Houses, without...

Seanad: Aer Lingus Share Disposal: Statements (28 May 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Tá mé buíoch go bhfuil an t-ábhar fíorthábhachtach seo á phlé againn. Is trua é nach bhfuil Aire againn, áfach. Ní thuigim an práinne ná an deifir atá ag an Rialtas leis an gcinneadh seo, a bhí á phlé sna meáin le seachtainí agus míonna anuas. Cén fáth an gcaithfear é a...

Seanad: Aer Lingus Share Disposal: Statements (28 May 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: That is a good question. It certainly was not Sinn Féin. We have heard many assurances, which could have been photocopied from those we were given about the National Asset Management Agency, NAMA, and Irish Water when they were being set up. This quite patently is the wrong deal for Ireland and we know that the Labour Party knows it but it does not have the courage to act on that...

Seanad: Order of Business (9 Jun 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I have been taken aback by the statements from Senators Hildegarde Naughton and Aideen Hayden due to their hypocrisy. They are calling for debates on issues of policy that the Government has been implementing for the past four years and which they fully support. I will return to this matter on another day. It is approximately one year since Ms Catherine Corless brought to the attention of...

Seanad: Order of Business (9 Jun 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: ----- and Catherine Corless whom I have spoken to on this issue and who is still being blocked from Galway County Council information that would help her ascertain how many bodies are buried in Tuam, how many death certs are available, how they correlate, how many records were falsified and how many illegal adoptions happened. I appreciate an investigation is ongoing, but we need information...

Seanad: Order of Business (9 Jun 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: They are not in the Gaeltacht.

Seanad: Order of Business (9 Jun 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: It is more of an issue of the USC and the rates paid to nurses.

Seanad: Order of Business (9 Jun 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: It is the rates nurses are paid that has driven them out.

Seanad: Garda Síochána (Policing Authority and Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2015: Second Stage (9 Jun 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit. Tá mé sásta go maith go bhfuilimid ag déanamh plé ar an mBille seo inniu. Caithfidh mé a rá, áfach, gur mór an trua é go raibh orainn tamaillín a chaitheamh ag fanacht leis. Caithfear a rá freisin, i gcomhthéacs an réimse fada a bhaineann le riaradh agus cur i bhfeidhm...

Seanad: Yeats 2015: Statements (9 Jun 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire. Mar a dúirt daoine eile, táimíd ag comóradh 150 blian Dé Sathairn seo, an 13 Meitheamh, breith William Butler Yeats. Guím gach rath ar an bhféile agus tréaslaím an Seanadóir O'Keeffe as an obair iontach atá sí ag déanamh. I commend Senator O'Keeffe, all of her committee and everyone involved...

Seanad: Order of Business (10 Jun 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Tá mé ag seasamh i dtosach báire le haird a tharraingt ar an gceist atá ag teacht chun cinn inniu maidir leis an seirbhís aeir ar a bheidh cur i láthair againn ó mhuintir Inis Mór agus muintir na n-oileán go deimhin in Árainn. I wish to highlight the issues associated with living on an island off the coast of Ireland and call for a debate on...

Seanad: Order of Business (10 Jun 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: What is the Minister of State, Deputy Nash, doing about it?

Seanad: Order of Business (10 Jun 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: The Minister of State, Deputy Nash, should do something about it.

Seanad: Order of Business (10 Jun 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: No, the Minister needs to do something about the matter.
