Seanad: Order of Business. (7 Feb 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ba mhaith liom aontú leis an méid a dúirt na Seanadóirí Healy Eames agus Mullins maidir le cás Aerfort na Gaillimhe. Mar eolas dóibh, tá mé tar éis rún a chur ar aghaidh maidir leis an aerfort. B'fhéidir gur féidir liom an ábhar seo a phlé ar an Athló amárach. Beidh mé sásta mo chuid ama a roinnt leo, más mian leo agus má ghlacann an Chathaoirleach leis.

Seanad: Order of Business. (7 Feb 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Tá an cás seo iontach tábhachtach. On Galway Airport, I hope a matter I submitted for discussion on the Adjournment tomorrow will be given favourable consideration. I am willing to share time in any such discussion.

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Tá fáilte roimh an Aire don Teach. Tá an Bille seo teicniúil go leor agus cuirimid fáilte roimhe agus roimh na leasuithe a ghlac an tAire ar bord. Pointe beag a thógfaidh mé maidir leis na comhlachtaí leath-Stáit atá againn faoi láthair, áfach, ná go raibh ainmneacha Gaelacha againn ach feicim go bhfuilimid ag dul i dtreo ainmneacha atá níos Gallda ar nós Electric Ireland...

Seanad: Investment in Education: Motion (8 Feb 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit. Ní hé seo an chéad uair dúinn na hábhair seo a phlé agus ní bheidh sé an uair dheireanach. Tacaím le cuid mhaith den mhéid a dúirt an Seanadóir Healy Eames maidir leis na scoileanna beaga i gConamara. Ní aontaím le gach rud a dúirt sí. Is ionsaí ar scoileanna beaga tuaithe agus Gaeltachta é an athrú seo sa pholasaí. Níl pobal na...

Seanad: Investment in Education: Motion (8 Feb 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I did not say Senator D'Arcy criticised them. I said "He should have read all of them". Had we taken that €250 million and put it into education there would be no need for any of these cuts.
