Labhrás Ó Murchú: I wish to share two minutes with Senator Healy Eames.

Seanad: Protection of the Public Interest from Tobacco Lobbying Bill 2013: Second Stage (18 Dec 2013)

Labhrás Ó Murchú: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire. Gabhaim buíochas leis as ucht an méid a chuir sé os ár gcomhair anseo anocht. My opinion is simple - this is not just a good Bill, but also an honest and important one. A few subliminal messages are coming across strongly in this debate. For example, no one has stood up to speak about the civil rights of smokers. This is an important...

Seanad: Protection of the Public Interest from Tobacco Lobbying Bill 2013: Second Stage (18 Dec 2013)

Labhrás Ó Murchú: That is worth considering. We must keep reminding ourselves that tobacco is a weapon. Were we discussing the arms trade and the type of legislation, savage or otherwise, we would have no difficulty with introducing legislation on lobbying. However, it is important that we consider the main argument against the Bill. It echoes another era. It reads:A number of legal and constitutional...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Expenditure Issues: Irish Water - Uisce Éireann (14 Jan 2014)

Labhrás Ó Murchú: The answers we have received today will allay some of the fears in the public domain. In the light of these answers it seems that the Minister was privy to all of this information when he refused to give it in response to parliamentary questions. Following that refusal, a vacuum was allowed to develop, in which a controversy arose, which has to be a distraction for Uisce Éireann. In...

Labhrás Ó Murchú: Does this refer to projected income?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Expenditure Issues: Irish Water - Uisce Éireann (14 Jan 2014)

Labhrás Ó Murchú: Mr. Tierney must have some idea what the tariff will be at this stage.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Expenditure Issues: Irish Water - Uisce Éireann (14 Jan 2014)

Labhrás Ó Murchú: That is my point, following on from Deputy Catherine Murphy. Mr. Tierney mentioned the regulator earlier but the regulator has not said anything about tariffs. How was Mr. Tierney able to do that projection?

Seanad: Recognition of Irish Sign Language for the Deaf Community Bill 2013: Second Stage (22 Jan 2014)

Labhrás Ó Murchú: Is mian liom fáilte a chur roimh na daoine atá linn sa Teach inniu freisin. I would like to start by commending Senator Mark Daly on bringing this Bill forward. Indeed, he has played quite a pioneering role in this House with legislation for people who sometimes do not get the profile they deserve. I have found the Bill inspirational and informative. I say "informative" because...

Labhrás Ó Murchú: Tá leithscéalta faighte againn inniu ón gCathaoirleach, an Teachta Mac Cárthaigh, agus ón Seanadóir Mac Conghail. Cuirim i gcuimhne do chomhaltaí a ngutháin a mhúchadh. Tá sé sin tábhachtach. Rinneadh na dréachtmhiontuairiscí ó chruinniú an 3 Deireadh Fómhair 2013 a scaipeadh ar chomhaltaí. An mian...

Labhrás Ó Murchú: Go raibh míle maith agat, a choimisinéir. Bhí ról lárnach ag an gcomhchoiste Oireachtais sa straitéis 20 bliain don Ghaeilge. Ghlacamar le comhairle ó beagnach 50 grúpa anseo agus in áiteanna eile. Chuaigh an chomhchoiste chomh fada le Conamara chun bualadh le breis agus 30 grúpa ansin. Bhí áthas croí ar dhaoine nuair a...

Labhrás Ó Murchú: Níl aon amhras faoi ná go bhfuil an-chuid ceisteanna ansin. B'fhéidir gur fearr don choimisinéir iad a fhreagairt ag an am seo. Labhróidh an Teachta Ó Cuív agus an Teachta Tóibín ina dhiaidh sin.

Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: An Fochoiste um an Straitéis 20 Bliain don Ghaeilge 2010-2030 agus Rudaí Gaolmhara: Straitéis 20 Bliain don Ghaeilge: An Coimisinéir Teanga (23 Jan 2014)

Labhrás Ó Murchú: Mar is eol daoibh, níl anseo ach cuid den phróiseas atá ar siúl againn i láthair na huaire. Beidh éisteachtaí eile againn go fóill. Tá cuireadh tugtha don Aire Stáit, an Teachta Mac Fhionnlaoich, teacht anseo chun an t-ábhar seo a phlé linn. Táimid ag súil go dtarlóidh sé sin go luath. Níl na socruithe...

Labhrás Ó Murchú: Is fiú smaoineamh ar an bpríomhdhualgas a chuir an coiste Oireachtais orainn mar fhochoiste. Baineann an dualgas sin leis an straitéis 20 bliain. Tá ceist an choimisinéara tar éis teacht chun tosaigh idir an dá linn. Tá sé soiléir anseo inniu go bhfuil an dá rud ceangailte le chéile. Tá dul chun cinn áirithe á...
