Seanad: Report of Advisory Group to the Forum on Patronage and Pluralism in the Primary Sector: Statements, Questions and Answers (1 May 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Fáiltím roimh na tagairtí a rinne mo chomhghleacaí, an Seanadóir Harte, ó thaobh moladh a thabhairt don Aire Oideachais ó Thuaidh, agus an ceart ar fad aige. An rud is annamh is iontach. Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire. Táimid thar a bheith buíoch dó as teacht isteach sa Teach. Fáiltíonn Sinn Féin, go ginearálta, roimh an athchóiriú seo ar an gcóras oideachais. Dar linn,...

Seanad: Coimheas Dalta-Múinteoir (1 May 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim céad fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit. Níl locht ar bith agam ar an Aire Stáit, ach os rud é go raibh an tAire Oideachais agus Scileanna anseo níos túisce, tá díomá orm nach raibh sé ábalta fanacht don díospóireacht seo. Táim ag ardú cás Scoil Náisiúnta Mhuire, an Tuairín agus tá a fhios agam go bhfuil eolas ag an Aire Stáit ar an scoil seo. Tá a fhios agam freisin...

Seanad: Coimheas Dalta-Múinteoir (1 May 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Tá. Níl aon ghlacadh agam le freagra an Aire Stáit, i ndáirire. Tá an pointe a rinne mé fós ag seasamh. Tá titim bliana, beirt dhalta, i gceist i gcás scoil an Tuairin. Tá na figiúirí ag dul ag ardú agus níl a fhios agam ar tógadh sin san áireamh. I do not know if the appeals board took into consideration that although there will be an increase in enrolment, it is not up to...

Seanad: Order of Business (2 May 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Go raibh míle maith agat. Tréaslaím leis an Aire Leanaí agus Gnóthaí Óige as ucht an cheapacháin a rinneadh don choiste ghníomhaíochta maidir le luath-oideachas san earnáil oideachais. I commend the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, Deputy Frances Fitzgerald, for announcing the early years expert advisory group. This is a very important step forward. I note the expertise...

Seanad: Order of Business (2 May 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: If the Government had arranged to hold the referendum on a Saturday it might have helped.

Seanad: Order of Business (2 May 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: We are going to pay for it.

Seanad: Order of Business (2 May 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: What about the €11 billion?

Seanad: Order of Business (2 May 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Éamon Ó Cuív does not believe it and it is not what he said.

Seanad: Order of Business (2 May 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: The conflict is over.

Seanad: Leibhéal Foirne Scoileanna (9 May 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Táimid ag leanúint leis an téama céanna a bhí againn an tseachtain seo caite agus tá mé thar a bheith buíoch don Aire Stáit as ucht teacht isteach. Táimid fós ag caint faoi na scoileanna beaga tuaithe agus an próiseas achomhairc a bhí ann mar gheall gur athraíodh na huimhreacha sa cháinfhaisnéis. Tá roinnt scoileanna tar éis iarraidh orm an cheist seo a chur maidir leis an...

Seanad: Leibhéal Foirne Scoileanna (9 May 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Is mór an faoiseamh é a chloisteáil go bhfuil triúr de na daoine a bhí ar an gcoiste líofa sa Ghaeilge. An féidir leis an Aire Stáit tuairim a thabhairt maidir le líon na n-iarratas a bhí trí Ghaeilge agus cé mhéad acu a aistríodh? Is there any indication how many of the 367 school submitted appeals as Gaeilge and how many had to be translated?

Seanad: Leibhéal Foirne Scoileanna (9 May 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Go raibh maith agat.

Seanad: Order of Business (15 May 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: It was not as if you had any protest during development.

Seanad: Order of Business (15 May 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ba mhaith liom díospóireacht a lorg leis an Aire le freagracht don iascaireacht, an Teachta Coveney. Leis an gceart a thabhairt don Aire, bhí sé i gcónaí flaithiúil go leor lena chuid ama le teacht isteach agus plé a dhéanamh ar chúrsaí iascaireachta. Tá sé in am arís go labharfadh muid arís leis faoi, mar tá athraithe go leor beartaithe ag an tionscal sin, go háirithe...

Seanad: Order of Business (15 May 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: It is important we debate these issues in the Seanad. Perhaps there should not be so much concern about the Occupy Galway group. Come the Volvo Ocean race, I expect there will be many other people protesting at the cutbacks and the austerity measures being brought in by the Government. Attention should be focused on that rather than on the Occupy Galway people, who are protesting peacefully.

Seanad: Mortgage Arrears: Statements, Questions and Answers (15 May 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim céad fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit agus ceist an-tábhachtach á phlé anseo. Bun agus barr an scéil ná go bhfuil daoine a bhfuil morgáistí acu ag aireachtáil an brú lá i ndiaidh lae agus faoi bhrú ag na bainc. Ní fheiceann siad go bhfuil an Rialtas seo ag déanamh tada fiúntach dóibh. Feiceann siad go bhfuil gach rud á dhéanamh ar son na banc, go bhfuil muid ag cur...

Seanad: Post Codes (15 May 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim céad fáilte roimh an Aire. Is breá an rud é a fheiceáil arís sa Teach seo. Tá an cheist atá á ardú agam inniu ag dul siar roinnt mhaith blianta, ach nílim ag cur an locht faoi sin ar an Aire. Bhí caint ar an cheist seo i bhfad sula dtáinig sé isteach i rialtas. Baineann an cheist leis na cóid poist atá beartaithe don tír seo. The post code scenario in this State is...

Seanad: Post Codes (15 May 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Fáiltím roimh an soiléiriú sin, go háirithe an soiléiriú go bhfuil an tAire sásta go bhfuil an próiseas ar fad trédhearcach agus oscailte agus nach bhfuil aon rud as bealach. I welcome the fact the Minister has said he is happy with the process, that it is completely open and transparent and that there is nothing to worry about there. I appreciate he cannot go into too much detail...

Seanad: Order of Business (16 May 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Aontaím leis an méid atá ráite ag na Seanadóirí Noone agus Keane maidir le shláinte mheabhrach na ndaoine óige. Tá sé fíor-thábachtach go mbeadh díospóireacht againn. Lest we be dismayed about the power of the Seanad and its Senators, a number of Senators wield great power. Yesterday, Senators Healy Eames and Mullins called for the Occupy Galway encampment to be removed. Lo...

Seanad: Order of Business (16 May 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: It raises issues and questions. This morning I sought clarification from Galway City Council because we need a debate on peaceful protest. I was at a joint policing committee meeting in Galway city a few months ago when the chief superintendent categorically said that the encampment was not breaking the law. No one at the meeting, politicians or city council representative, was able to say...
