Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Sustaining Viable Rural Communities: Discussion (Resumed) (18 Jan 2017)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: The level of anger and frustration in Connemara is due to the fact that we do not have any proper road into or out of the region. People cannot understand why this issue has not been resolved. They hear about meetings between Oireachtas Members and Departments. They get a sense that there is movement, but then they hear there is another logjam. That is the backdrop to the case. Is the...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Has there been any case in Galway?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Sustaining Viable Rural Communities: Discussion (Resumed) (18 Jan 2017)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: To come back to the current logjam with Galway County Council, it is important to note, and we are all aware, that there was a significant bereavement in Galway County Council involving a director of services who was dealing with these issues. Our thoughts go to his family and his colleagues. Has that had an impact on the project moving forward? Is that one of the reasons for the logjam?...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Sustaining Viable Rural Communities: Discussion (Resumed) (18 Jan 2017)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: To clarify, my recollection from reading the relevant European Union information is that there are at least scores of cases in countries. We are not talking about one or two in the entire country. From what I recall, there were over 70 cases some years ago in Portugal. We do not have an Irish precedent but there are precedents across the EU that can be compared, in some sense, to what is...

Seanad: Order of Business (31 Jan 2017)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Dúirt an Cathaoirleach ina chuid fhocal maidir leis an gCléireach nua-cheaptha gur onóir mhór é an ceapachán seo do chlann Martin Groves agus dó fhéin, ach is onóir mhór dúinne é a leithéid de Martin a bheith ceaptha sa ról mar Chléireach.It is a huge honour for us that Martin Groves has been appointed Clerk of the...

Seanad: Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2016: Second Stage (1 Feb 2017)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit. Ós rud é nach dóigh liom go bhfaca mé í ón uair gur ceapadh í mar Aire Stáit, ba mhaith liom comhghairdeas a ghabháil léi. Cuireann mé féin agus Sinn Féin fáilte roimh an mBille seo, go háirithe na forálacha a bhaineann le pacáistiú tobac. Cé go bhfuil...

Seanad: Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2016: Second Stage (1 Feb 2017)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: It is the Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill and I am suggesting there may be other issues that could be brought on board on Committee Stage.

Seanad: Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2016: Second Stage (1 Feb 2017)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I understand why the Senators opposite might want to stifle debate around these issues because they are very embarrassed about them. What would be quite useful-----

Seanad: Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2016: Second Stage (1 Feb 2017)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: -----that the Minister will be coming to visit UHG-----

Seanad: Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2016: Second Stage (1 Feb 2017)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Instead of announcing that the senior Minister or the Taoiseach will visit UHG, they should come unannounced and see what things are like on an ordinary day. UHG has lists of more than 30,000 outpatients awaiting appointments, of whom 4,700 or more have been waiting for more than 12 months. I have another issue, which I am not sure can be addressed in this Bill, but is something the...

Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Radio Broadcasting: Raidió Rí-Rá (7 Feb 2017)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Tá cuid againn b'fhéidir ró-shean le bheith ag cuimhneamh siar ar na hamhráin a bhíodh muid ag éisteacht leo agus muid níos óige ach, idir mhagadh agus dáiríre, sílim go bhfuil fíorthábhacht leis an aighneacht atá na finnéithe ag déanamh. Le bheith fírinneach, tá páistí óga agam nach...

Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Radio Broadcasting: Raidió Rí-Rá (7 Feb 2017)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Gabhaim buíochas as an eolas breise. Ardaíonn cúpla ceist as an méid atá luaite ag na finnéithe. Táim ag lorg soiléiriú. Bhí Julian de Spáinn ag caint faoi díolúine atá ann faoi láthair ó thaobh chúrsaí reatha agus mar sin de. An bhfuil sé ag rá go bhfuil siad dóchasach go mbeidh an...

Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Radio Broadcasting: Raidió Rí-Rá (7 Feb 2017)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Sílim go mbeadh sé go maith dá bhféadfaí é sin a dhéanamh. An bhfuil sé sin clúdaithe sna costais atá luaite ag na finnéithe?

Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Radio Broadcasting: Raidió Rí-Rá (7 Feb 2017)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Is ceist pholasaí agus ceist chur chuige é i ndáiríre seachas ceist acmhainní ag an bpointe seo. Dá mbeadh an fhoireann ag Raidió Rí-Rá, bheadh siad ábalta é sin a dhéanamh. Maidir le stáisiúin raidió pobail, cosúil le Conamara FM a chraolann thiar i gConamara, bíonn siad ag craoladh ar mhinicíocht FM...

Seanad: Order of Business (8 Feb 2017)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ba mhaith liom mo dhíoma agus imní a léiriú faoin ráiteas an rinne ceannaire an DUP, Arlene Foster, le cúpla lá anuas, maidir le Acht na Gaeilge agus nach mbeidh a leithéid ann má bhíonn an DUP sa rialtas ó thuaidh. Ba mhaith liom a mheabhrú don Cheannaire go bhfuil dualgas ar an Rialtas anseo, mar go bhfuil Acht na Gaeilge mar...
