Seanad: Garda Resources: Motion (6 Feb 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire. Tá áthas orm a bheith in ann labhairt ar an rún seo mar tá an t-ábhar seo i mbéal an phobail agus thar a bheith tábhachtach. The closure of Garda stations and the reductions in time are causing considerable concern from Mizen Head to Malin Head, and from Connemara to Stepaside. I raised this issue in the House only a week or two ago in response to the...

Seanad: Irish Bank Resolution Corporation Bill 2013: Committee and Remaining Stages (6 Feb 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Tá mé ag ceapadh go bhfuilimíd tagaithe ag stáid stairiúil is stair na tíre agus go bhfuilimid ag feiceáil rud ag tarlú anocht atá thar a bheith náireach, ó thaobh iompar an Rialtais maidir leis an mBille atá sé ag brú tríd an Seanad agus leis na fiacha atá sé ag cur anuas ar chosmhuintir na tíre. Ba chóir go mbéadh náire. go deimhin, ar na Seanadóirí atá tar éis...

Seanad: Irish Bank Resolution Corporation Bill 2013: Committee and Remaining Stages (6 Feb 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Tá mé. Tá mé ag caint faoi na costais ón Aire, mar atá luaite in alt 2. Níl míniú sách soiléir tugtha ag an Aire faoi na costais a bhaineann leis an díscríobh seo. Cén chostas a bhéas ag baint leis an aistriú seo? Ba chóir go mbéadh muid in ann fáil amach ó thaobh leachtú IBRC céard atá seo ag dul a chosaint. Céard chosnóidh an t-airgead iomarcaíocht, agus mar...

Seanad: Irish Bank Resolution Corporation Bill 2013: Committee and Remaining Stages (6 Feb 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Chuir mé ceist i nGaeilge níos túisce, ach b'fhéidir nár tháinig sé trasna. Baineann sé leis an leachtaitheoir. Could the Minister clarify for us the type of deal that has been done with KPMG? He indicated on Second Stage that negotiations have been ongoing with KPMG, that when he would have to instigate this Bill he had a deal done etc. but what will be the cost to the State? How...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Mobility and Motorised Transport Allowances: Discussion (6 Feb 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim fáilte roimh na hAirí. Tá a fhios agam go bhfuil siad gnóthach agus is mór an onóir dúinn gur tháínig siad isteach leis an bhfoireann ar fad. To follow on from that discussion, would it be possible for the committee to get a breakdown of those Estimates the Minister has just announced? We have been going through things in some detail here...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Mobility and Motorised Transport Allowances: Discussion (6 Feb 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I thank the Minister of State for her response. I have been trying to do the maths here while we have been discussing this and I contend that the Department is over-egging the situation with its figures. We have an Irish term - scéal chailleach an uafáis - and I think we have been given that story with the figures, because based on them, the maths do not seem to add up . On...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Mobility and Motorised Transport Allowances: Discussion (6 Feb 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: There are 300 on this scheme per year, receiving €1.3 million. If we divide €1.3 million by 300, we get €4,333 per individual on average. If we multiply that by the 80,950 the Minister of State estimates are eligible, this amounts to €82 million. The figures provided to us were €200 million and €100 million, but we are still short of that - at...

Seanad: Order of Business (7 Feb 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ba mhaith liom tacú leis an méid a dúirt mo chomhghleacaí, an Seanadóir Cullinane, níos túisce maidir leis an díospóireacht a bhí againn aréir. Is cuma cén tuairim atá againn maidir leis an mBille a chuir an Seanad tríd aréir, caithfear a admháil go raibh caighdeán na díospóireachta go dona. Bhí an t-am a bhí leagtha ar leataobh don díospóireacht i bhfad ró-ghearr....

Seanad: Adjournment Matters: Údarás na Gaeltachta (7 Feb 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim céad fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit tar éis oíche fhada, laethanta suimiúla agus neart díospóireachtaí suimiúla atá ag tarlú sa Teach eile faoi láthair. Táim an-bhuíoch dó as ucht an díospóireacht seo a ghlacadh. Ar ndóigh, ní hé seo an chéad uair againn an t-ábhar seo a plé, ábhar atá gar do chroí na beirte againn - Arramara Teoranta, comhlacht feamainne a bhí...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I would like to be associated with the Acting Chairman's welcome. I met the parliamentary group earlier and it is fantastic to have relations with them.

Seanad: Adjournment Matters (Resumed) (7 Feb 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire Stáit as ucht na ceiste seo a thógáil. Chuir mé spéis sa dara alt deireanach, ina ndúirt an Aire Stáit go bhfuil "tréimhse de thrí mhí" tugtha ag an údarás don chomhlacht "plean gnó cuimsitheach trí bliana a ullmhú". An bhfuil siad ag dul i dtreo eile anois? Bhí siad ag breathnú ar infheisteoir straitéiseach, ach b'fhéidir go bhfuil an...

Seanad: Order of Business (12 Feb 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ba mhaith liom moladh a thabhairt don Phápa Beinidict as ucht an cinneadh cróga agus ceannródaíoch a ghlac sé inné. Guím chuile rath air agus ar na cairdinéil a bheidh ag roghnú duine le teacht i gcomharbacht air. It also is important that we have a debate on the Magdelen laundries report. It is clear from the report that the State was complicit in what was happening in those...
