Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ceart go leor. Fáiltím roimh an gcoimisinéir agus roimh an obair an-mhór atá á dhéanamh anseo. Rud cinniúnach atá ráite ag an gcoimisinéir maidir leis an gcás cúirte ná gur sheas sé an fód agus gur éirigh leis sa chás cúirte. Molaim é as ucht an seasamh sin a thógáil. Nuair a...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Agus muid ag seasamh anseo, táimid ag smaoineamh ach go háirid ar mhuintir Connor, a gcuid cairde agus gaolta agus an cúigear den chlann sin atá á chur i gcré na cille inniu.

Seanad: Order of Business (22 Oct 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: The Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government, Deputy Alan Kelly, has sat on €50 million in unspent moneys allocated for Traveller accommodation.

Seanad: Commencement Matters: Hospital Services (4 Nov 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I concur fully with the sentiments expressed by the Minister of State at the end of her contribution. The hospital does not intend to carry out any further review at this stage and will discuss it at its serious incident management team meeting.
