Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Seirbhísí trí Ghaeilge (Atógáil): An Roinn Sláinte (15 Jan 2019)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: Is plé suimiúil é seo go dtí seo agus níl mé féin iomlán cinnte ón gcur i láthair cad é an ról cruinn agus na freagrachtaí atá ag an Roinn ó thaobh cumarsáid a dhéanamh leis an bpobal den chuid is mó. Chuala mé nuair a bhí mé i mo bhall de Chomhairle Cathrach Bhéal Feirste go raibh...

Niall Ó Donnghaile: Bheadh sé ina shampla a dtiocfadh leis an Roinn a dhéanamh go simplí agus go gasta. Lasmuigh de sin, a Chathaoirligh, bhí an chuid is mó den stuif a bhí le rá agam ráite cheana féin.

Seanad: Government's Brexit Preparedness: Statements (22 Jan 2019)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: Ba mhaith liom fáilte a chur roimh an Tánaiste. Tréaslaím leis an mhéid atá ráite aige ó thaobh na himeachtaí a thit amach i nDoire Cholm Cille le cúpla lá anuas. I begin by echoing the Tánaiste's words condemning the events in Derry in recent days. My party's vice president, our MP in the area, our MLAs and councillors have been...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Rights and Equality in the Context of Brexit: Discussion (23 Jan 2019)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: I thank the Chairman and all our visitors. There is a fair amount to get through in terms of the contributions and in addition to them. I have a number of questions, which I wish to hone in on, with the indulgence of the Chairman. On Mr. Allamby's fourth point on citizenship rights post-Brexit and the rights that will continue to be enjoyed or will not be enjoyed, he is right in that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Rights and Equality in the Context of Brexit: Discussion (23 Jan 2019)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: That is the pertinent question at the heart of this. In addition, what are Irish citizens' rights as Irish citizens? Before the EU can legislate for us, the Irish Government must legislate for us. I can apply for an Irish passport and travel around the world with it. I can move freely at present around the island of Ireland. Beyond that, however, as the de Souza case shows, the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Rights and Equality in the Context of Brexit: Discussion (23 Jan 2019)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: The major irony and the obvious point is that the Government is telling us that it will legislate for constitutional reform to give voting rights for presidential elections to Irish people living outside the State. Surely one would imagine that if the Government can legislate for that, then it can legislate for residents outside the State to elect members to the European institutions. That...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Rights and Equality in the Context of Brexit: Discussion (23 Jan 2019)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: It is worth pointing out that this is being contested in a court at the moment. At first, the judge considered that the Good Friday Agreement preceded the British Nationality Act 1981. There is a live case around that.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Rights and Equality in the Context of Brexit: Discussion (23 Jan 2019)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: It is to endorse Professor Harvey's call for that panel in whatever way that needs to appear. I would make the point about today's meeting that it is not often, although this is one of the better committees, one gets that kind of uniformity and agreement to not only appreciate what the witnesses have said today but to build upon it. I, too, commend the Chairman on this initiative because...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (24 Jan 2019)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: I want to take the opportunity to reflect on a meeting of the Joint Committee on Justice and Equality that took place yesterday morning. On that occasion we heard from a range of human rights and legal organisations from the North. They are very eminent and respected figures. They gave a very stark and sobering series of contributions to members of the committee and, by extension, all...
