Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Is that at the Galway Races?

Seanad: Areas of Natural Constraint: Statements (24 May 2017)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire. Táimid ag teacht le chéile go minic na laethanta seo. The Minister and I meet fairly regularly these days in Dublin and in Galway. I am delighted that we are having this debate. It is good to have a debate on a specific area rather than a huge and broad one on agriculture or fisheries generally.I think it is good that we are having this debate....

Seanad: Areas of Natural Constraint: Statements (24 May 2017)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Both. I hope that when we introduce our motion on this matter next week, Fianna Fáil will know exactly where it stands and all its members will agree on where to go. We see the motion we have drawn up in relation to the ANCs as a baseline. If Fianna Fáil wants to amend it or to add extra to it, we will certainly be open to that as well.

Seanad: Areas of Natural Constraint: Statements (24 May 2017)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Senators can propose amendments at any time. This motion has been on the Order Paper for weeks. If the Fianna Fáil Senators knew the business of politics in these Houses at all, they could have tabled amendments at any stage. At least the Fine Gael line on this matter has been consistent. When Mairead McGuinness MEP attended a public meeting on this issue in Maam Cross, she made it...

Seanad: Areas of Natural Constraint: Statements (24 May 2017)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: We do.

Seanad: Areas of Natural Constraint: Statements (24 May 2017)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Thank you. This is obviously a very touchy issue for some people in the Chamber.

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I will tell you if you give me a chance.

Seanad: Areas of Natural Constraint: Statements (24 May 2017)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Go raibh míle maith agat. Senator Paul Daly said that the most disadvantaged should get the most. I suggest that the disadvantaged are the only people who should get any payment. No one would suggest that everyone should get a disability payment regardless of his or her level of disability. Some people do not have a disadvantage. We would say that the payments under the scheme as it...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I also asked the Minister about the burnt lands.

Seanad: Commencement Matters: Home Care Packages Provision (30 May 2017)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Go raibh míle maith agat a Chathaoirligh, céad fáilte romhat a Aire agus mar a fheiceann tú táim ag ardú ceist anseo maidir l'othar a bhfuil an galar néarón luadrach air atá insan ospidéal i nGaillimh le blian anuas. I have raised this matter on many previous occasions and I know that the Minister of State has the details of the person to...

Seanad: Commencement Matters: Home Care Packages Provision (30 May 2017)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I thank the Minister of State for his response and I note his interest in the disability services in Galway to which, hopefully, we will be welcoming him soon. The HSE response on this matter is a nonsense. Discussions have been ongoing for well over a year. It was known in advance of the operation that this would be needed. It is time for decisions to be taken and for heads to be banged...

Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Craoltóireacht in Éirinn trí Mheán na Gaeilge: Díospóireacht (30 May 2017)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim céad fáilte ar na finnéithe. Tá mé ag ceapadh go bhfuil aithne agam orthu ar fad. Tá mé curtha faoi agallamh ag roinnt acu roinnt uaireanta agus bhí mé curtha in aghaidh an bhalla go rialta. Is maith ann iad leis é sin a dhéanamh. Tréaslaím an obair ar dtús, go háirid an dream atá ar an bhfód le...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Gabh mo leithscéal. Roinn na Gaeltachta a bhí i gceist agam.

Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Craoltóireacht in Éirinn trí Mheán na Gaeilge: Díospóireacht (30 May 2017)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Sílim go bhfuil an craoltóireacht luaite agus go bhfuil raidió pobail luaite. Tá mé den tuairim go bhfuil Raidió Fáilte luaite fiú-----

Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Craoltóireacht in Éirinn trí Mheán na Gaeilge: Díospóireacht (30 May 2017)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Abair go raibh raidió pobail i Huddersfield. An bhfuil fáil acu sin ar chistíocht áirid craolacháin agus an bhfuil fáil ag Raidió Fáilte cur isteach ar an gciste céanna de bharr gur chraoladh raidió pobail atá i gceist?

Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Craoltóireacht in Éirinn trí Mheán na Gaeilge: Díospóireacht (30 May 2017)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ar an bpointe sin, tá an fhadhb chéanna ag Raidió na Gaeltachta agus TG4 chomh maith. I gcuid mhaith den taighde, tomhaistear an tír trí chéile agus pioctar daoine ar fud an oileáin. Cé go bhfuil dlús daonra sna ceantair Gaeltachta, ní thógtar san áireamh sin má tá Nielsen nó a leithéidí sin ag piocadh na...

Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Craoltóireacht in Éirinn trí Mheán na Gaeilge: Díospóireacht (30 May 2017)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Tá a fhios agam go bhfuil dualgas áirithe ar na stáisiúin eile ar nós Galway Bay FM go gcaithfear méid áirid cláracha a chraoladh trí mheán na Gaeilge. An bhfuil deiseanna ag stáisiúin na bhfinnéithe cláracha a dhéanamh dóibh siúd agus a dhíol dóibh le go mbeadh siad ag comhlíonadh a gcuid...
