Seanad: Order of Business (16 May 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: We see plenty of protest and my fear is that we will see much more. I welcome the Volvo Ocean Race coming to Galway, which is very important. However, the right of people to protest should not be overrun and it would appear we are learning much from the Chinese through the delegations sent over and back.

Seanad: Order of Business (16 May 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Tacaím leis an éileamh atá déanta ag an Seanadóir O'Donovan maidir le díospóireacht eile a bheith againn ar an gconradh fioscach. Rinneamar roinnt plé ar an gconradh sin ach tá rudaí ag athrú gach lá agus bheadh sé fíor-thábhachtach go mbeadh plé againn faoi Dé Máirt seo chugainn. I hope that it is not a case of Fianna Fáil getting ready, because they feel that the tide is...

Seanad: Order of Business (23 May 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: A debate would be welcome. I wish to mention that Africa Day will take place on Friday and congratulate the people for organising it. Today a very good conference is being held at Trinity College Dublin. It was organised by the Trinity International Development Initiative and deals with development issues in Africa. I also welcome the development of the Africa Agrifood Development Fund....

Seanad: Animal Health and Welfare Bill 2012: Committee Stage (Resumed) (23 May 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim céad fáilte roimh an Aire. Is breá an rud deis a fháil labhairt ar an mBille tábhachtach seo. I wish to draw the attention of the Minister to one particular matter. The joint policing committee meeting in Galway on Monday was a strange place for something relating to the Animal Health and Welfare Bill to come up. The question raised was about who owns the horses. This is a...

Seanad: Animal Health and Welfare Bill 2012: Committee Stage (Resumed) (23 May 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: The Minister is spot on as regards the Galway issue. It is mainly horses that were bought in the boom times, apparently as show horses or for horse racing. On the other issue that arises, when the council picks up an abandoned horse it appears to be obliged to keep that horse until the owner turns up to collect it. If a horse is being kept in the midlands for a number of weeks or months is...

Does a question arise over the legal title in such a scenario or has...
