Niall Ó Donnghaile: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Taoiseach, Aingeal agus Eoghan. Tá fáilte rompu. Tréaslaím le hobair dhearfach an aonaid um oileán comhroinnte agus guím gach rath air ag dul ar aghaidh.

Niall Ó Donnghaile: One example is that of a healthcare professional living in Donegal, who is not from Britain or Ireland, working in Altnagelvin Area Hospital to service the community. This is crazy stuff. It is off the wall.

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (4 May 2022)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: I begin by raising the ongoing issues with the backlog in the Passport Office. The last time I raised this, the Deputy Leader spoke of her experience in applying for a passport for one of her children.

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (4 May 2022)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: She finally got it. I am very glad to hear that. Unfortunately, that is not the experience for hundreds, if not thousands, of other people, but I am certainly glad it is resolved for the Deputy Leader. There was a very welcome motion on this issue from colleagues in Fine Gael a few weeks ago and a number of commitments were set out by the Government. However, we are not seeing a clear...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (4 May 2022)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: However, I am in a collegiate mood so I will avoid the temptation other than to say that I wish candidates well. We all know it is not easy to go forward in, and to fight, an election campaign. For them and their families it is a very trying, but often very exciting and worthwhile, time to get out and engage with the electorate on the doorsteps. I wish candidates and their families well....

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (10 May 2022)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: Ar dtús báire, ba mhaith liom labhairt faoin toghchán ó Thuaidh. I am sure the Leader will agree that the people of the North have spoken at the election last week to the Assembly, and they have spoken clearly. They have, in the first instance, elected a majority of MLAs who support the protocol and want to see it embedded, resolved and continuing to work for everyone....

Seanad: Europe Day 2022: Statements (11 May 2022)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit atá anseo fá choinne na ráiteas tábhachtach seo. Sinn Féin believes in the EU. We believe that Ireland's future is at the heart of a just and equal EU and we will continue to engage with its institutions actively and critically. While there is much good in the EU, there are areas where we should continue being critical....

Seanad: Northern Ireland: Motion (11 May 2022)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: I move: That Seanad Éireann: - upholds the Good Friday Agreement, in all its parts, and calls for its full implementation; - condemns the vote in the British House of Commons to reject the House of Lords Amendment 40 to the ‘Nationality and Borders Bill’; this decision will see the imposition of an ‘electronic travel waiver’ for non-Irish and non-British...

I thank the Minister for his contribution, and all my colleagues who support or will not oppose this motion. Both stances are appreciated. It would be remiss of me not to mention the legitimate and understandable concerns...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (17 May 2022)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: It is good to see the Deputy Leader back in the hot seat; it suits her. I want to begin like my colleague Senator Chambers by commenting on the decision by the British Government to legislate to break the law. It is unilaterally legislating to amend aspects of the agreed protocol, a protocol that it negotiated and signed up to and that its Parliament endorsed. We were told that this was an...
