Seanad: Order of Business (12 Mar 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Perhaps the Leader will invite the First Minister to the House.

Seanad: Order of Business (13 Mar 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Inné, d'ardaigh mé ceist maidir le cúrsaí bochtanachta in Éirinn, ach bhí an oiread díograis ar an gCeannaire a bheith ag tabhairt amach faoi pholasaí Shinn Fein sa Tuaisceart nár fhreagair sé an cheist. Yesterday I asked for a debate on poverty and I do not believe there was clarification from the Leader in that respect. In his zeal to have a go at Sinn Féin's policy in the...

Seanad: Employment Equality (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2013: Second Stage (13 Mar 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim céad fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit agus ba mhaith liom fáilte an-mhór a chur roimh an mBille iontach tábhachtach seo agus comhghairdeachas a dhéanamh le duine ar bith a raibh baint nó pairt acu, ní hamháin leis an mBille ach leis an bhfeachtas a chuaigh roimhe, nó a chuir leis an ndíospóireacht seo ar bhealach ar bith. In a previous life I was a television producer and...

Seanad: Employment Equality (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2013: Second Stage (13 Mar 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I am also very pleased to see the Minister of the State in the Chamber today and I hope that this is an indication that the passing of the Bill before us today will be speedily followed by its passage through the Dail and its passing into law. The Bill introduced by Deputy O'Brien three weeks ago not only sets out to end the possibility of discrimination by amending Section 37 of the...

Seanad: Adjournment Matters: Youth Services (13 Mar 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire Stáit as ucht fanacht le haghaidh na ceiste seo. I raise an issue on behalf of Youth Work Ireland in Galway. The voluntary board of Youth Work Ireland Galway met on Wednesday, 27 February, and the directors were deeply shocked that the allocations from the Department of Children and Youth Affairs were being cut retrospectively by 10% to 1 January 2013. They...

Seanad: Adjournment Matters: Youth Services (13 Mar 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: In the correspondence I received, Youth Work Ireland Galway disputes the figure of a 10% cut indicated in the comprehensive review of expenditure. Youth Work Ireland Galway stated it had worked out the figure was 6.5% figure. It was stated that discretion is given to the City of Dublin Youth Service Board, which allocates the funding, but it has chosen to apply a 10% cut across the board,...

Seanad: Order of Business (14 Mar 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Will Senator Coghlan be invited to the embassy?

Seanad: Order of Business (14 Mar 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Bheinn ag tacú leis an méid atá ráite ag an Seanadóir a chuaigh romham, ach dhéanfaí dearmad scaití go bhfuil sé i bPáirtí an Lucht Oibre agus gur cheart don Aire féin, an Teachta Rabbitte, teacht isteach agus é fhreagairt maidir leis na ceisteanna sin. It is appropriate that all eyes were on Rome yesterday and I welcome the election of Pope Francis. I hope he will be successful...

Seanad: An Straitéis 20 Bliain don Gaeilge 2010-30: Statements (14 Mar 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim céad fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit. Tá cuid mhaith le rá agam faoin mhéid atá faoi chaibidil againn. Sílim gur é an rud is suntasaí a dúirt an tAire Stáit ná go bhfuil an Rialtas ag tabhairt faoi chur i bhfeidhm na straitéise ar bhonn córasach seachas ar bhonn ad hoc. Ba bhreá liom fáil amach céard atá i gceist aige le sin. Sílim go bhfuil An Straitéis 20 Bliain...

Seanad: An Straitéis 20 Bliain don Gaeilge 2010-30: Statements (14 Mar 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Sílim gur cheart beagáinín solúbthachta a thabhairt dom ar an gceist seo. Is gá "normalú" na teanga chun úsáid na Gaeilge a leathnú. Baineann tábhacht ar leith le scoileanna toisc an tionchar a bhíonn acu ar fheasacht na teanga agus ar iompraíocht teanga. Tá an Rialtas tar éis gearradh siar ar mhúinteoirí sna Gaeltachtaí agus deireadh a chur leis an tacaíocht a bhí ann...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ní dúirt muid riamh gur linne an teanga.

Seanad: An Straitéis 20 Bliain don Gaeilge 2010-30: Statements (14 Mar 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Tá sé sin iomlán míchruinn.

Seanad: An Straitéis 20 Bliain don Gaeilge 2010-30: Statements (14 Mar 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ar phointe oird, ba mhaith liom go dtarraingeodh an tAire Stáit an ráiteas sin siar. Níl bunús ar bith leis. Tá sé ag caint ráiméis, mar is ghnáth, maidir le polasaithe Sinn Féin sa Tuaisceart.
