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

Brian Ó Domhnaill: I move amendment No. 6: In page 8, lines 30 to 32, to delete all words from and including "(whether" in line 30 down to and including "persons;" in line 32 and substitute the following: "which will conform to standards and structures to be prescribed by the Minister;".

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

Brian Ó Domhnaill: Is í cuspóir an leasaithe cumhacht a thabhairt don Aire Stáit go dtiocfadh leis féin an caighdeán agus an struchtúr a leagadh amach i bhfo-ordú i dtaca le grúpa nó le coiste pobal-bhunaithe. Tá sé fíor thábhachtach go dtarlódh sé sin. Níl an míniú atá scríofa sa Bhille sonrach go leor. Tá sé foscailte go mbéadh ar Údarás na Gaeltachta glacadh le hiarratas ó...

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

Brian Ó Domhnaill: Ba mhaith liom pointe gairid a dhéanamh. Glacaim go huile agus go hoimlán leis an méid atá ráite ag an Aire Stáit. Aontaím leis. B'fhéidir nach raibh an pointe a bhí mé ag iarraidh a chur i láthair soiléir go leor. Tá a fhios agam go bhfuil sé seo sonraithe ag an údarás, ag an Roinn agus ag an Stát faoin chóras atá leagtha síos agus i gcomhthéacs an comhairle dlí...

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

Brian Ó Domhnaill: They are all together.

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

Brian Ó Domhnaill: This Bill constitutes a flagrant disregard for democracy. It is about pushing through the democratic principles we fought for before the Civil War. It is a disgrace.

Seanad: Gaeltacht Bill 2012: Committee Stage (Resumed) (5 Jul 2012)

Brian Ó Domhnaill: I move amendment No. 11: In page 10, between lines 8 and 9, to insert the following subsection: "(3) When designating a specified area under subsection (2), the Minister shall be cognizant of the linguistic circumstances of the community who live in that area and will not designate an area which contains communities which are linguistically dissimilar to each other.". Tá imní mór orm agus...

Seanad: Gaeltacht Bill 2012: Committee Stage (Resumed) (5 Jul 2012)

Brian Ó Domhnaill: Baineann seo leis an mBille go ginearálta.

Seanad: Gaeltacht Bill 2012: Committee Stage (Resumed) (5 Jul 2012)

Brian Ó Domhnaill: Tá sé soiléir go bhfuil brú ann an Bille seo a bhrú tríd an Teach seo gan deis a thabhairt dúinn na leasuithe go léir a phlé. Tá sé sin náireach agus scanallach.

Seanad: Gaeltacht Bill 2012: Committee Stage (Resumed) (5 Jul 2012)

Brian Ó Domhnaill: I agree.

Seanad: Gaeltacht Bill 2012: Committee Stage (Resumed) (5 Jul 2012)

Brian Ó Domhnaill: Nach bhfuil cead agam a rá nach aontaím leis an dóigh atá an Bille seo á bhrú tríd an Teach? Tá a fhios agam nach bhfuil sin ceart. Nílim ag cur lochta ar an Aire Stáit ná ar an feidhmeannaigh, ach tá Ceannaire sa Teach seo agus tá sé ag iarraidh an Bhille seo a bhrú tríd an teach inniu. Tá sin náireach, mar nach bhfuil deis againn é a phlé thar ceann pobal na...

Seanad: Gaeltacht Bill 2012: Committee Stage (Resumed) (5 Jul 2012)

Brian Ó Domhnaill: Labhairfidh mé ar anois.

Seanad: Gaeltacht Bill 2012: Committee Stage (Resumed) (5 Jul 2012)

Brian Ó Domhnaill: Tá seo tábhachtach fosta. An aontaíonn an cathaoirleach go bhfuil sé seo tábhachtach?

Seanad: Gaeltacht Bill 2012: Committee Stage (Resumed) (5 Jul 2012)

Brian Ó Domhnaill: Rushed or guillotined legislation is not the way to do business. The programme for government and the Fine Gael and Labour Party manifestos suggested there would be a new way of doing politics and that legislation would be given due consideration and time for debate. That is not what is happening here. It is downright disgraceful.

Seanad: Gaeltacht Bill 2012: Committee Stage (Resumed) (5 Jul 2012)

Brian Ó Domhnaill: Leanfaidh mé ar aghaidh. Tá fearg orm i dtaca le seo ach nílim ag cur lochta ar an Aire Stáit ná ar na feidhmeannaigh atá anseo. Tá an cinneadh déanta. Bhí vóta againn agus bhrú muid an pointe ar an taobh seo, ach ar an drochuair, tá an cuma ar an scéal go bhfuil brú ag teacht ó áit éigin sa Rialtas i dtaca leis an Bille seo a bhrú tríd an Teach sa dóigh go mbeidh...

Seanad: Gaeltacht Bill 2012: Committee Stage (Resumed) (5 Jul 2012)

Brian Ó Domhnaill: Aontaím leis an Seanadóir Byrne. He has pointed out something very important. We are in here debating and do not have access to our e-mails or printers. We can get e-mails on our I-phones, but we do not have access to the additional amendments from the Government.

Seanad: Gaeltacht Bill 2012: Committee Stage (Resumed) (5 Jul 2012)

Brian Ó Domhnaill: D'éist mé go cúramach leis an freagra a thug an tAire Stáit. An fhadhb a fheicim anseo ná má tá sé chun ceantair atá níos laige ná ceantair eile a chaitheamh le chéile, ní oibreoidh sin. Níl aon bunús eolaíochta ná teangeolaíochta le é sin a dhéanamh. Sa bhliain 2007, chuir an Rialtas ag an am staidéar teangeolaíoch ar fáil ar úsáid na teanga sa Ghaeltacht....

Seanad: Gaeltacht Bill 2012: Committee Stage (Resumed) (5 Jul 2012)

Brian Ó Domhnaill: I will press the amendment, but I wish to say a few words. Aontaím go huile agus go hiomlán leis an Seanadóir Harte. I agree with Senator Harte when he spoke about the education system, the importance of education, and people leaving school without being fluent in the Irish language. We know that even happens in Gaeltacht areas, but it happens outside of Gaeltacht areas as well. It is...

Brian Ó Domhnaill: Cronies, one can call them whatever - councillors.

Seanad: Gaeltacht Bill 2012: Committee Stage (Resumed) (5 Jul 2012)

Brian Ó Domhnaill: Seven members will be placed on the board by the Minister. I am sure they will be respectful people and will do their best. It is not about who they are or what they represent, it about taking away the voice of the people. The person in Bun A Leaca or Rossaveal who may not be listening to today's debate but will be implicated by this legislation in not being allowed to cast his or her vote...

Seanad: Gaeltacht Bill 2012: Committee Stage (Resumed) (5 Jul 2012)

Brian Ó Domhnaill: Bhí plé leanúnach againn ar na leasuithe seo roimh an mbriseadh. Níl mé chun mórán níos mó a rá fúthu, ach tá mé chun iad a bhrú. Tá sé soiléir sa Bhille seo go bhfuil neamhaird iomlán déanta ar an staidéar teangeolaíochta a bunaíodh i 2007 agus a leag amach critéir chun pleananna teanga a chur i bhfeidhm. Dá bhrí sin, agus os rud é nach bhfuil an tAire Stáit...
