Seanad: Commencement Matters: Seaweed Harvesting Licences (25 Jan 2018)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit. Tá mé an sásta gur tháinig sé isteach. No more than me, he is probably wondering why seaweed harvesting falls under his planning brief. That question has already been raised.

Seanad: Commencement Matters: Seaweed Harvesting Licences (25 Jan 2018)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I would say that the Minister of State is a great man for eating spuds that have been grown with seaweed, though. Strangely enough, we previously discussed this issue, which affects many coastal areas.We have the historical situation where seaweed is owned by the State but there are traditional types of seaweed harvesting rights. Quite a number of people might have land and a folio which...

Seanad: Commencement Matters: Seaweed Harvesting Licences (25 Jan 2018)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I welcome the Minister of State's comments, particularly around the co-operative approach. The PRA report has been there for some time. Is it possible for the Minister of State to publish those findings or make them available to me as an Oireachtas Member to allow me go over them? Can we expect some clarity on the legislative proposals within the next two months?

Seanad: Order of Business (25 Jan 2018)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ba mhaith liom tacú go huile is go hiomlán leis an mhéid atá ráite ag an Seanadóir Ó Dálaigh maidir leis an dream i Meiriceá atá i bhfaitíos ós rud é nach bhfuil a fhios acu cá seasann siad ó thaobh an stádas atá acu sa tír sin. I support what Senator Mark Daly said about the undocumented and would...

Seanad: Control of Economic Activity (Occupied Territories) Bill 2018: Second Stage (Resumed) (30 Jan 2018)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ba mhaith liom buíochas a ghlacadh leis an Seanadóir Bacik as a cuid ama a roinnt liom. Tréaslaím leis an Seanadóir Black faoin Bhille an-tábhachtach seo a thabhairt chun cinn. I welcome the ambassador and Dr. Barghouti, and the teams that are working very closely with them. I also welcome the representatives of Sadaka, Trócaire, Christian Aid, Congress...

Seanad: Control of Economic Activity (Occupied Territories) Bill 2018: Second Stage (Resumed) (30 Jan 2018)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: The NGOs have made some very compelling legal arguments to us. This is an illegal occupation. These goods are produced illegally on lands that are not held legally in a manner that is contrary to the Geneva Convention, which has been transposed into Irish law. Therefore, it can be argued that Irish law is being contravened by people who buy beauty products and other products that are...

Seanad: Control of Economic Activity (Occupied Territories) Bill 2018: Second Stage (Resumed) (30 Jan 2018)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I do not think anybody would hold it against us. I think a lot of people would say "Fair play to them". I would hope that many Governments would follow. Tá sé tábhachtach go ndéanfaimid beart de réir briathar. We are hearing a lot of talk, but the words that are being spoken are being totally contradicted by the actions that are being taken, such as the...

Seanad: Control of Economic Activity (Occupied Territories) Bill 2018: Second Stage (Resumed) (30 Jan 2018)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Hear, hear.

Seanad: Order of Business (31 Jan 2018)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim fáilte chomh maith céanna roimh an aitheantas atá le tabhairt ag an Rialtas do dhaoine le míchumas. Tá sé thar a bheith tábhachtach go ndéanfaí é sin. I also welcome the recognition of people with disabilities and their international human rights. I agree with previous speakers that there is no point in conferring those rights if the...

Seanad: Order of Business (1 Feb 2018)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I dtosach báire, Lá Fhéile Bríde faoi shéan agus faoi mhaise do na Seanadóirí ar fad, go háirithe na mná. I wish all a happy St. Brigid's day, seeing as we are on a bit of a biblical vibe with Senator O'Reilly. I am afraid St. Jude is the saint who jumps to mind when we look at the broadband scenario, rather than any Jeremiah.

Seanad: Order of Business (1 Feb 2018)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I urge Senator O'Reilly to get down on his knees this evening for all of us living in rural Ireland.

Seanad: Order of Business (1 Feb 2018)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Sin é go díreach, "beidh an lá ag dul chun shíneadh". It is concerning. A debate needs to be had at this stage around who controls the networking of the broadband infrastructure because I think the sale of that infrastructure was a calamity. Looking forward, the State needs a very long-term approach to re-acquiring that infrastructure so we do not find ourselves in this...

Seanad: Order of Business (1 Feb 2018)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: We are not far off it.

Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Ionaid Cúraim Leanaí Lán-Ghaeilge i gCeantair Gaeltachta: Díospóireacht (6 Feb 2018)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim míle fáilte roimh na finnéithe. Bhíomar ag cur is ag cúiteamh faoi chuid de na ceisteanna seo agus tá mé ag ceapadh, i ndáiríre, go dtéann an cheist atá na finnéithe ag ardú agus an t-ábhar atá siad ag plé go croílár ceist na pleanála teanga sna ceantair Ghaeltachta agus cé chomh casta...

Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Ionaid Cúraim Leanaí Lán-Ghaeilge i gCeantair Gaeltachta: Díospóireacht (6 Feb 2018)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Tuigim go díreach céard atá na finnéithe ag rá. Tá bunriachtanais le sásamh ag na hionaid chúraim leanaí ó thaobh cúrsaí sláinte agus sábháilte, srl.

Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Ionaid Cúraim Leanaí Lán-Ghaeilge i gCeantair Gaeltachta: Díospóireacht (6 Feb 2018)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Tá dualgas reachtach ar na naíonraí Síolta agus Aistear a chur i bhfeidhm mar churaclam. An bhfuil Síolta agus Aistear feiliúnach do ionaid chúraim leanaí Gaeltachta? An bhfuil gá ann polasaí difriúil ar fad a chur i bhfeidhm? An é go gcaithfear Síolta agus Aistear a chur i bhfeidhm agus na dualgais a chomhlíonadh ionas...

Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Ionaid Cúraim Leanaí Lán-Ghaeilge i gCeantair Gaeltachta: Díospóireacht (6 Feb 2018)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Is dócha gur cheart a rá freisin gur cuireadh polasaí don oideachas Gaeltachta ar bun le haghaidh na mbunscoileanna. Tá ceist eile agam i gcomhthéacs an méid atá ráite ag na finnéithe. Ar chóir go mbeadh polasaí réamhscoile Gaeltachta ann, nó an leor Síolta agus Aistear sna Gaeltachtaí? Bhí curaclam ann le...

Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Ionaid Cúraim Leanaí Lán-Ghaeilge i gCeantair Gaeltachta: Díospóireacht (6 Feb 2018)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: B'fhéidir gur fiú an cheist sin a leanacht suas leis an Roinn.

Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Ionaid Cúraim Leanaí Lán-Ghaeilge i gCeantair Gaeltachta: Díospóireacht (6 Feb 2018)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Is fiú an pointe a rinneadh níos luaithe, maidir le páistí a bhfuil Gaeilge ó dhúchas acu agus beirt thuismitheoir ag labhairt Gaeilge ó dhúchas, a ardú arís sa chomhthéacs seo. Nílimid ag maireachtáil i sochaí ina bhfuil sé sin i ngach teaghlach. Cén chaoi ina láimhseálann na naíonraí é...

Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Ionaid Cúraim Leanaí Lán-Ghaeilge i gCeantair Gaeltachta: Díospóireacht (6 Feb 2018)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Má thagann scór gasúr nua isteach go dtí naíonra áirithe ag tús na scoilbhliana seo chugainn, cén chaoi go praiticiúil a dhéanfaidh an naíonra sin scagadh orthu? An gcuirtear iad ar fad isteach i mullach a chéile?
