Seanad: Gaeltacht Bill 2012: Committee Stage (Resumed) (4 Jul 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Tá pointe tábhachtach ardaithe ag an Seanadóir Ó Domhnaill. Tá mé ag labhairt i dtreo leasú Uimh. 7, a mholann go gcuirfear an focal "comharchumann" isteach sa Bhille. B'fhéidir gur pointe dlí é seo. B'fhéidir go bhfuil an Aire Stáit in ann é a shoiléiriú. Is comharchumainn iad cuid mhaith de na heagrais phobal Gaeltachta atá ag feidhmiú taobh istigh de na 19 ceantar atá...

Seanad: Gaeltacht Bill 2012: Committee Stage (Resumed) (4 Jul 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Glacaim leis go bhfuil leasuithe Uimh. 6, 7 agus 8 á phlé le chéile. Ba mhaith liom ceist a ardú faoi leasú Uimh. 8, atá á moladh ag an Aire Stáit. Molann an leasú go gcuirfear an focal "agus" in áit an focal "nó". Má ghlactar leis an leasú, is é an sainmhíniú a bheidh ar "eagraíocht" ná "comhlacht corpraithe (cibé acu ilchorparáid nó corparáid aonair é) nó...

Seanad: Rent Supplements: Motion (4 Jul 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I move: ''That Seanad Éireann notes that: — the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, and the European Social Charter recognises the right to housing as part of the right to an adequate standard of living; — there are 94,000 people in receipt of rent supplement in this State; — there are 100,000 people on waiting...

Seanad: Rent Supplements: Motion (4 Jul 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: The Minister should have listened to what we said. We said the opposite.

Seanad: Rent Supplements: Motion (4 Jul 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: It is not what we saying at all.

Seanad: Rent Supplements: Motion (4 Jul 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Go raibh maith agat. Glacaim buíochas le chuile duine de na Seanadóirí a labhair agus leis an Aire as teacht. The contribution made by the Minister of State, Deputy O'Sullivan, is probably one of the most disappointing, in terms of it missing the main issue, I have heard from a Minister in a debate in this Chamber. There is a short-term and long-term issue involved. The short-term issue...

Seanad: Rent Supplements: Motion (4 Jul 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Yes. The Minister of State said that this is allowed in certain circumstances.

Seanad: Rent Supplements: Motion (4 Jul 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Senator Daly stated that some tenants are in receipt of rent supplement, the amount of which is greater than the rent due on the home, and that these people are keeping the extra money. That is difficult to do because landlords are required to declare on a specific form the amount of rent being paid and a CWO will not pay more than the amount stated. If the Senator has evidence of that...

Seanad: Schools Building Programme (4 Jul 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim fáilte arís roimh an Aire. Baineann seo le Scoil Naomh Caitríona in Eachraim, Contae na Gaillimhe, scoil ar thug mé cuairt uirthi an tseachtain seo caite. I raise the issue of St. Catherine's national school in Aughrim, County Galway. This is a small school in a rural area just outside Ballinasloe. The school has been subject to a number of staffing cutbacks in recent years but...

Seanad: Schools Building Programme (4 Jul 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Go raibh maith agat a Aire Stáit. The reply is quite disappointing and does not really answer the question of whether the Minister deems the school to be "fit for purpose". This is the important phrase. I understand from raising other issues for other schools about the need to build schools in areas where none is available but I do not think this gives the Government the excuse not to...

Seanad: Order of Business (5 Jul 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ba mhaith liom tacú leis an méid atá ráite ag an Seanadóir Barrett maidir le Bille na Gaeltachta. Tugaim faoi deara go bhfuil sceideal na seachtaine seo chugainn curtha amach agus gur luadh ansin go mbeimid ag plé Chéim na Tuarascála agus Céim dheireanach den Bhille Dé Chéadaoin. An dtabharfaidh an Ceannaire soiléiriú an gciallaíonn sin go bhfuil críoch á chur le Céim an...

Seanad: Order of Business (Resumed) (5 Jul 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ba mhaith liom iarradh ar an gCeannaire an ráiteas a rinne sé maidir leis An Bille Gaeltachta a tharraingt siar mar sílim go bhfuil sé maslach do phobal na Gaeilge agus na Gaeltachta an beag is fiú atá sé ag déanamh faoin díospóireacht tábhachtach atá ar siúl faoi láthair. Tá sé maslach go bhfuil an Rialtas ag cur baic ar dhíospóireacht daonlathach, oscailte agus...

Seanad: Order of Business (Resumed) (5 Jul 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ba mhaith liom go dtarraingeodh sé siar an ráiteas a rinne sé. Tá an rud adúirt sé faoi 56 bliain náireach. Tá sé ag déanamh beag is fiú -----
