Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Táim fíor-bhúioch as an freagra cuimsitheach sin, ach leis an fhírinne a rá tá mé díomach leis. Dúradh liom gur cuireadh faisnéis airgeadais ar aghaidh ó bhaill an ghrúpa seo atá ag iarraidh na mná seo a thabhairt anall ar chuairt a léirigh go raibh maoin go leor ag an eagraíocht leis an chuairt a sheasamh. Ba mhaith liom anois go gcuirfeadh an tAire Stáit an cheist ar an...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I dtosach, ba mhaith liom aitheantas a thabhairt don chomhfreagras ón gCathaoirleach maidir le Seachtain na Gaeilge, mar bhí moladh déanta againn go ndéanfaí marcáil faoi leith ar Sheachtain na Gaeilge trí díospóireachtaí trí Ghaeilge agus mar sin de sa Teach seo.

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Bhí mé ag súil ar maidin go mbeinn ag éirí le fáiltiú roimh an chúlú a bheadh déanta ag an Aire Oideachais agus Scileanna maidir leis na scoileanna DEIS. Tá sé fíor-dheacair sin a dhéanamh nuair a fheicimid an bealach a rinneadh an cinneadh sin agus beidh mé ag iarraidh díospóireachta leis an Aire láithreach le himpleachtaí an chinnidh sin a phlé. I was hoping to be able...

Seanad: Order of Business (22 Feb 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Why has the Minister not included rural DEIS schools in his decision? Why are urban DEIS schools to be allowed more teachers - they need them and the numbers there should never have been decreased - while rural schools are still to see cutbacks?
