Seanad: Commencement Matters: Leader Programmes Administration (28 Jun 2017)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I congratulate the Minister on his appointment and echo Senator Rose Conway-Walsh's sentiments. We are seeing the same problems happening in County Galway. A particular issue I would like the Minister to look at is Leader on the islands, the reorganisation of the Leader companies and the fact that the islands have now been separated and not been given a specific Leader budget. This is a...

Seanad: Order of Business (28 Jun 2017)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: It is something I do not often say, but I totally and utterly concur with what Senator Marie-Louise O'Donnell said about the Western Development Commission. I was at the committee meeting and she is absolutely correct. We certainly need a hearing on it. Bímid anseo ó lá go lá agus muid ag labhairt as Gaeilge. Bíonn an fhoireann bhreá díograiseach i...

Seanad: Order of Business (28 Jun 2017)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I take the Cathaoirleach's point and his guidance on it. The point I was making before he interjected was that there are implications as regards the translations of the legislation coming through. We are told mistakes have been made in the translations. These are legal documents based on debates-----

Seanad: Order of Business (28 Jun 2017)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Yes, in certain cases and clarification is needed. I ask the Leader to give us clarification on what implications there are for the legislation that has been passed. How many mistakes have been made? What are the legal implications if people were to try to vindicate their rights to the courts? Bhí go leor cainte ann maidir leis na cainteanna ó Thuaidh agus aontaím leis an...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Tá mé ag seasamh inniu agus mé ag tacú leis an mBille atá tugtha chun cinn ag an Seanadóir Norris agus lena bhfuair sé cuidiú ón Teachta McGuinness agus daoine eile lena réiteach. I am disappointed with the Minister of State's response. We have heard many different contributions today. Generally people have said that they agree in principle...

Seanad: National Housing Co-operative Bill 2017: Second Stage (28 Jun 2017)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Fianna Fáil has no credibility on this issue.

Seanad: National Housing Co-operative Bill 2017: Second Stage (28 Jun 2017)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Fianna Fáil fuelled the property bubble and it introduced the regulation that was in place at that time. It allowed the 100% and 110% mortgages to be given by the banks. For Fianna Fáil to be crying crocodile tears at this point is not good enough. We know Fianna Fáil cannot be trusted on these issues. This model, which is a NAMA for the small people, is an important one....

Seanad: Order of Business (4 Jul 2017)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Go raibh míle maith agat, a Chathaoirligh. Ba mhaith liom tréaslú leis an gCeannaire as an dea-scéal atá aige. Guím gach rath air féin agus ar a pháirtí. We attended an Oireachtas Members' briefing in Galway yesterday with Youth Work Ireland, Galway's youth counselling service. It has been in existence since 2011, but is now at risk of closure...

Seanad: Order of Business (5 Jul 2017)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ba mhaith liom tagairt a dhéanamh don chuairt a thug an Príomh Aire Trudeau ar an tír seo. Ba mhaith ann é agus is maith an rud é go bhfuilimid ag ceiliúradh an nascadh idir muid fhéin agus Ceanada. I welcome the visit by Prime Minister Trudeau to Ireland. We were also lucky to have a number of parliamentarians from Canada in the Houses earlier and we had...

Seanad: Household Waste Charges: Statements (5 Jul 2017)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim céad fáilte roimh an Aire. Tá sé ar nós déjà vunó groundhog day. Bhí muid ag plé na ceiste seo an t-am seo den bhliain seo caite. It was a different Minister but a similar debate this time last year. The Minister has certainly been given a bit of a hospital pass with this can which has been kicked down the road. It came from the...
