- Seanad: Hospital Waiting Lists: Motion (15 Feb 2017)
Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit. Tá an-áthas orm tacaíocht a thabhairt don rún atá os comhair an tSeanad anocht. Tá an-áthas orm freisin faoin gcur chuige atá ag an Rialtais maidir leis an rún seo. Is maith an rud é go bhfuil an Rialtas ag glacadh i bprionsabal leis an rún. I welcome the Minister of State and I welcome the...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Returning Emigrant Support Services: Discussion (15 Feb 2017)
Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Tá an díospóireacht seo thar barr. I want to commend this debate so far. The level of passion is exemplary and it is good to see it at an Oireachtas committee. It is also good to hear these points being made. I am my party's spokesperson on the diaspora so I am dealing with every single issue that has been discussed, and more, on a daily basis. I know that there is a lot...
- Seanad: Commencement Matters: Social and Affordable Housing (16 Feb 2017)
Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Go raibh míle maith agat a Leas-Chathaoirligh. Cuirim céad fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit. Táim an-bhuíoch dó as teacht isteach. Táim an-bhuíoch don Chathaoirleach, a roghnaigh an cheist seo. Is ceist iontach práinneach í atá ag teacht chun cinn. I have been given documentation which suggests a senior management official with Galway...
- Seanad: Commencement Matters: Social and Affordable Housing (16 Feb 2017)
Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I thank the Minister of State for the response but it sounds like a classic kick to touch. It does not answer the question I asked about this specific case in Galway City Council, whether the Minister of State is aware of it and has received the report. That report was to have been done in 2014. Surely by now the Minister of State should have got a copy of that report if it has been done....
- Seanad: Order of Business (16 Feb 2017)
Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ba mhaith liom go mbeadh plé againn leis an Aire Oideachais agus Scileanna maidir leis an dul chun cinn atá á dhéanamh ar an bpolasaí oideachas Gaeltachta. Táimid ar fad i bhfábhar an pholasaí, ach tá céimeanna tábhachtacha le tógáil sa chomhthéacs seo maidir le earcadh agus oilúint múinteoirí ionas go...
- Seanad: Order of Business (23 Feb 2017)
Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ba maith liom tacú leis an moladh atá deanta go mbeabh díospóireacht againn maidir le tefigh in Éirina go háirithe sa chóras so láthar díreach. I support the calls for a debate on the direct provision system. I do not believe the system has improved at all since the Mahon report; in fact, things may have gone backwards. Some the changes have...

- Seanad: The Diaspora: Statements (23 Feb 2017)
Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit, cé go bhfuil tréimhse fada imithe ón am a thosaigh muid ag iarraidh go dtiocfadh sé isteach ag caint linn. Mar is eol dó, is mise urlabhraí Shinn Féin maidir leis an diaspóra. Tá mé an-bhródúil as an taithí agus an stair atá ag Sinn Féin ó thaobh déileáil...
- Seanad: The Diaspora: Statements (23 Feb 2017)
Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: It follows then that as some form of recovery takes place there must be an increased effort by the Government to reverse this emigration. I was in the Department of Social Protection in Galway last Friday and we were looking at the unemployment figures, and yes, there is a fall in the unemployment figures in the Galway area, but when one looks at the age cohort it is clear that one of the...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: They are returning-----
- Seanad: The Diaspora: Statements (23 Feb 2017)
Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: -----but there are serious barriers. I will talk about the barriers in a moment.
- Seanad: The Diaspora: Statements (23 Feb 2017)
Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Many want to return but cannot for practical reasons. It is not just Sinn Féin that is pushing for this Government centred approach. In 2014, addressing a US multinational forum, An Taoiseach said that the job of Government is to make Ireland more attractive so that people will want to come back. I could not agree more with the sentiment. The fact that the roughly 300,000 people who...
