Seanad: Environment (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2011 [Dáil] : Committee and Remaining Stages (26 Jul 2011)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I move amendment No. 2: In page 10, before section 9, but in Part 3, to insert the following new section: "9.—For the purposes of clarity, the offences regarding sealing and labelling of fuel bags as set out in the Air Pollution Act, 1987 (Marketing, Sale and Distribution of Fuels) Regulations 1998 (S.I. No. 118 of 1998), and Air Pollution Act, 1987 (Marketing, Sale and Distribution of...

Seanad: Environment (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2011 [Dáil] : Committee and Remaining Stages (26 Jul 2011)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: It is a Fianna Fáil amendment.

Seanad: Environment (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2011 [Dáil] : Committee and Remaining Stages (26 Jul 2011)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I move amendment No. 3: In page 12, to delete lines 30 to 33 and substitute the following: ""(3) The amount of the levy shall be specified in the regulations under subsection (2) but shall not exceed an amount of 26 cent for each plastic bag supplied to a customer.". We discussed the matter this morning. The plastic bag levy was a great levy. Before its introduction - it seems like not so...

Seanad: Environment (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2011 [Dáil] : Committee and Remaining Stages (26 Jul 2011)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I feel like I am living in a bit of a parallel universe. I am flattered that Senator Keane is so mindful of Sinn Féin policy in both Houses. Life has changed since this Bill was debated in the Dáil. As we have mentioned, it was decided today that an extra household charge of €100 should be introduced. That will change the ballpark figure. Senator Mullins mentioned that we need to...

Seanad: Environment (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2011 [Dáil] : Committee and Remaining Stages (26 Jul 2011)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I dispute the notion that there is a free recycling service. In many cases, particularly in rural areas, a private company provides the service and an annual fee is payable in respect of all bins collected. What will happen as a result of the Minister's provision is that there will be an increase in annual collection service charges to meet the cost of the levy on the landfill element....

Seanad: Communications Regulation (Postal Services) Bill 2010 [Seanad Bill amended by the Dáil]: Report and Final Stages (26 Jul 2011)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Tagaim go hiomlán leis an méid a dúirt an Seanadóir White romham agus ní rachaidh mé siar ar na pointí sin seachas le rá i ndáiríre má táimid ag breathnú chun cinn, caithfear pé rud a dhéanfar ó thaobh na postcodes a bheith future proofed, caithfear dul i ngleic leis an teicneolaíocht nua atá againn idir satailít agus GPS agus mar sin. San áit ina bhfuil mé i mo chónaí...

Seanad: Communications Regulation (Postal Services) Bill 2010 [Seanad Bill amended by the Dáil]: Report and Final Stages (Resumed) (26 Jul 2011)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I move amendment No. 3: In page 15, lines 33 and 34, to delete "authority for the purposes of the Directive." and substitute the following: "authority. The Minister shall reserve the right to veto decisions of the Commission where it is deemed to be in the national interest.". This amendment is self-explanatory. Given that any Minister, in almost all circumstances, would put the national...

Seanad: Clár Tógála Scoileanna (26 Jul 2011)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ceist phráinneach atá mar ábhar ar an Athló inniu maidir le dhá Gaelscoil atá ag fanacht le fada an lá le coiríocht cheart i gContae na Gaillimhe. Tá Gaelscoil Riabhach i mBaile Locha Riach agus Gaelscoil de hÍde in Uarán Mór. Tá Gaelscoil de hÍde ag stocaireacht le fada an lá ó tá an scoil ar bun ó 1994. Fuair an scoil stádas oifigiúil i 1998 ach ó shin i leith tá...

Seanad: Clár Tógála Scoileanna (26 Jul 2011)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Tá mé buíoch don fhreagra ach tá díoma orm gur i mBéarla a tháinig an freagra ón Roinn cé gur i nGaeilge a chuireadh isteach an cheist, ach tuigim sin i dtaobh an Aire atá ag cur an fhreagra i láthair. Will the Minister ask the Minister for Education and Skills to reconsider assigning the 2.1 band rating because it is a particularly difficult situation for that school? It is a...

Seanad: Order of Business (27 Jul 2011)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ba mhaith liom tréaslú leis an Seanadóir Uí Catháin. Déanfadh sé an-difríocht má úsáidimid an Ghaeilge sa Teach seo eadrainn féin, idir na daoine atá fostaithe anseo san fhoirgnimh agus idir an pobal lasmuigh. Tréaslaím le gach éinne atá an Ghaeilge á úsáid acu. Molaim go ndéanfaimid i bhfad níos mó de amach anseo. Thar cheann Sinn Féin, ba bhreá liom gach...

Seanad: Commission of Investigation Report into the Catholic Diocese of Cloyne: Motion (27 Jul 2011)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ba mhaith liom mo chuid ama a roinnt leis an Seanadóir Cullinane.

Seanad: Commission of Investigation Report into the Catholic Diocese of Cloyne: Motion (27 Jul 2011)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I dtosach báire, ba mhaith liom tacú leis an rún thar cheann Sinn Féin. Is é an tuairim atá againn ná gurb iad na daoine a déanadh an docair seo dóibh na daoine is tábhachtaí maidir leis an díospóireacht seo. An dualgas atá againn ná deimhniú go bhfuil gach tacaíocht agus gach cúnamh le fáil dóibh ón Stáit agus ón eaglais chun cabhrú leo. Is lá maith é, ar...

Seanad: Order of Business (15 Sep 2011)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ba mhaith liom mo dhíomá a léiriú mar gur gealladh dúinn, nuair a bhíomar ag scor, go mbéadh díospóireacht ar na healaíona ar siúl inniu ach níor tharla sin. Deirtear liom go mbeidh sé ag tarlú an tseachtain seo chugainn. Ba mhaith liom soiléiriú a fháil ar sin, mar tá cuid mhaith grúpaí ealaíne atá ag súil leis an díospóireacht sin. Ar ábhar i bhfad níos...

Seanad: Order of Business (15 Sep 2011)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I propose that we call on the Minister, Deputy Hogan, to come to the House to clarify what his Department intends to do to save the 130 jobs at MFG. This needs to be done immediately because the people concerned are in limbo. It is simply not acceptable. The company has been given ample time to act but it has not done so. This is a matter of great urgency.
