Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: The Minister of State is very welcome back, particularly on this important issue of voting rights. Tacaím go hiomlán leis an rún seo inniu a threisíonn an méid a cinntíodh ag an gCoinbhinsiún Bunreachtúil na blianta ó shin.

Seanad: Presidential Voting Rights: Motion (30 Nov 2016)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: The use by Mossad of Irish passports to facilitate political murder must be condemned and opposed by all who profess ad nauseamto be upholders of Irish democracy.

Seanad: Commencement Matters: School Transport (1 Dec 2016)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I take on board what the Minister is saying, but the Government as a whole has a responsibility to ensure that children can come and go to school and that where a service is impacting on children who are going to that school, it is, therefore, an issue of concern to the Minister for Education and Skills if changes such as this are made without any planning with the Department. I implore the...
