Labhrás Ó Murchú: It is a modern form of eviction.

Seanad: Order of Business. (4 Mar 2004)

Seanad: Order of Business. (4 Mar 2004)

Labhrás Ó Murchú: The Minister would be welcome in this House to brief us further on these guidelines and give us an opportunity to express our appreciation.

Seanad: Order of Business. (4 Mar 2004)

Labhrás Ó Murchú: To use a rural expression, the Minister has taken the bull by the horns and courageously stood up for these people.

Seanad: Order of Business. (23 Mar 2004)

Labhrás Ó Murchú: From time to time different embassies contact us about views we express here on different issues or because they want to brief us. That suggests they take account of what is said in the Chamber and that is why I am supportive of the views expressed about yesterday's atrocity, the assassination of an invalid cleric. What worries me particularly when I listen to statements from those embassies'...

Seanad: Order of Business. (23 Mar 2004)

Labhrás Ó Murchú: One reason I want a debate on this matter is that we tend to have to raise issues on the Order of Business and gradually people are being confused — traumatised, in fact. They are not being given the opportunity to have their views reflected by elected representatives in the Oireachtas. When we had a debate on Iraq I went out on a limb, and I am glad I did so. I made a specific...

Seanad: Social Welfare (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2004: Second Stage. (23 Mar 2004)

Seanad: Agency for the Irish Abroad: Motion. (24 Mar 2004)

Labhrás Ó Murchú: I would like to share time with Senator Brennan. Having listened to the debate, it is evident that this is a greatly emotional subject. Many Senators who have spoken have had personal experience, directly and indirectly, of emigrants. I did not have to emigrate because four members of my family had already done so. They sent money back to my family to help us during those times. Such...

Seanad: Order of Business. (25 Mar 2004)

Labhrás Ó Murchú: Will the Leader invite the Minister for the Environment, Heritage, and Local Government to the Seanad to discuss the guidelines on rural housing? We have discussed this matter on many occasions and there seems to be unanimity here about the need for radical action to ensure the people of rural Ireland can live in rural Ireland. Submissions have been invited by the Minister and that process...

Seanad: Order of Business (Resumed). (1 Apr 2004)

Labhrás Ó Murchú: I support the call for the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs to come before the House. Every time he has been here, he has been anxious to engage in debate on rural issues and that is why many of those issues are now centre stage. Many aspects must be discussed, particularly the interaction of the agencies on the ground. People who want to have their livelihoods in rural...

Seanad: Order of Business. (6 Apr 2004)

Labhrás Ó Murchú: The House has debated Northern Ireland issues on several occasions, particularly the peace process and the GoodFriday Agreement and its subsequent implementation. However, the British Government's stance on the Pat Finucane murder is not helpful. Our Government, Mr. Justice Cory and the American Administration, by inference, have all expressed dissatisfaction with the British Government's...

Seanad: Draft Guidelines on Rural Housing: Statements (Resumed). (6 Apr 2004)

Labhrás Ó Murchú: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire agus tréaslaím leis an Aire Stáit toisc go bhfuil an t-ábhar seo inár láthair agus go bhfuil seans againn ár dtuairimí a nochtadh anseo. Bhí díospóireacht anseo cheanna agus tá sé soiléir go bhfuil tuairimíocht an-leathan. Tá muid ag teacht go dtí an freagra ar an gceist diaidh ar ndiaidh. I want to declare an interest in this subject because I am...

Seanad: CLÁR Programme: Statements. (7 Apr 2004)

Labhrás Ó Murchú: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire agus é ag cur tuarascála os ár gcomhair ar an obair dhearfach atá idir láimhe againn. Éinne go bhfuil taithí aige ar an tír seo agus seans aige taistil timpeall, tá a fhios aige na torthaí atá le feiceáil ar an obair atá déanta ag an Aire. Níl aon Aire sa Rialtas a thuigeann deacrachtaí agus dúshláin an phobail chomh maith leis an Aire seo. Níl...

Seanad: CLÁR Programme: Statements. (7 Apr 2004)

Labhrás Ó Murchú: I have been a Member of this House for seven years and the record will show that I never once interrupted another Senator. My principle in that regard is that one should put what one has to say on the record, let another reply and let others judge whether one is right or wrong. The Senator can continue to interrupt for the next 15 minutes if he wishes but the record will show I have never...

Seanad: CLÁR Programme: Statements. (7 Apr 2004)

Labhrás Ó Murchú: I will go a step further and state that as a Member of this House, I would be dissatisfied if in the future a Minister or Minister of State did not feel at liberty or, indeed, obligated to come here to discuss such an issue. Senator McHugh said the Minister did not provide Members with a copy of his speech. Members have access to computers. I have a copy of the 2003 CLÁR report, a copy of...

Seanad: CLÁR Programme: Statements. (7 Apr 2004)

Labhrás Ó Murchú: At the end of the day when one considers it, he had such a story to tell that every Senator——
