Seanad: Order of Business (31 Jan 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Tá sé luaite agam cheana gurb é 2013 bliain na Gaeilge, agus is breá an rud é roinnt Gaeilge a chloisteáil ar an Riar Gnó ar maidin ó na Seanadóirí éagsúla. Caithfidh mé moladh a thabhairt go chuile dhuine de na Seanadóirí a úsáideann na Gaeilge. Tá cuid mhaith acu ann agus déanann siad an-iarracht. Ba mhaith liom dá gcuirfeadh muid le sin. Tá achainí déanta ag...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Tá céad fáilte roimh an Aire. Tá áthas orm bheith anseo agus muid ag labhairt faoin tóstal seo agus bheith in ann é a mholadh. Is rud an-fiúntach é agus tá súil orm go néireoidh go geal leis. I suppose it is an Irish solution to an Irish problem that in times of austerity we decide to organise a year long party but if it works, it works, as some would say. I note my great...

Seanad: The Gathering Ireland 2013: Statements (31 Jan 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Is it in the ownership of the State? I am glad to have the opportunity to comment on this initiative which is positive and valuable and merits discussion to see how we can improve it.

We hope that...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim céad fáilte roimh an Aire. Go ginearálta, táimid i bhfábhar an Bhille seo agus táimid ag teacht, don chuid is mó, leis atá an Seanadóir van Turnhout ag cur chun cinn, ach amháín go bhfuil muid ag caint faoi 48 mí, seachas 12 mí. We are recommending, very much in line with what Senator van Turnhout stated-----

Seanad: Criminal Justice (Spent Convictions) Bill 2012: Report Stage (5 Feb 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I formally second the amendment. We have put forward a number of amendments which are very much in line with what Senator van Turnhout has outlined. One of our amendments suggests that lines 31 to 33 on page 5 of the Bill be deleted and replaced with the following formation, namely, "(a) of imprisonment for a term of more than 48 months, irrespective of whether that sentence is suspended...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ba mhaith liomsa, chomh maith, buíochas a ghabháil leis an Aire as ucht éisteacht chruinn a thabhairt dúinn ar na céimeanna éagsúla den mBille. I also note that the Minister said on Report State that he will reconsider the Bill as it goes into force and is practised, particularly the length of time. I welcome his comments and I am sure that he will, if he sees a need during the...
