Seanad: Water and Sewerage Schemes (21 Jun 2012)

Brian Ó Domhnaill: I am glad to have the opportunity to raise the issue of the Gweedore sewerage scheme, or scéim séarachais Ghaoth Dobhair as it is commonly known. It is a scheme that should have been built many years ago but has not been to date. I recall reading archived notes dating back to the 1940s and 1950s, when the local Deputy at the time, Cormac Breslin, who was Ceann Comhairle in the Lower...

Seanad: Gaeltacht Bill 2012: Second Stage (21 Jun 2012)

Brian Ó Domhnaill: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit. As mo cheantar féin é. Tá lúcháir orm go bhfuil sé féin agus a chuid oifigigh anseo tráthnóna agus go bhfuil an deis seo againn plé a dhéanamh ar an Bhille seo, atá fíor-thábhachtach, chan amháin don Ghaeltacht ach don tír go hiomlán, mar tá impleachtaí agus buntáistí ag an Bhille do chúrsaí Gaeilge sa Ghaeltacht agus taobh amuigh...

Seanad: Gaeltacht Bill 2012: Second Stage (21 Jun 2012)

Brian Ó Domhnaill: D'árdaigh mé an fhadhb seo ar Riar na hOibre ar maidin. Rinneadh vóta air ach, ar an drochuair, níor glacadh leis an moladh go dtiocfadh linn Céim an Choiste a chur siar, fiú cupla lá an tseachtain seo chugainn, chun deis a thabhairt dúinn leasaithe a ullmhú thar an deireadh seachtaine tar éis a bhfuil le rá ag an Aire Stáit a chlos. B'fhearr i bhfad seans a bheith ag...

Seanad: Gaeltacht Bill 2012: Second Stage (21 Jun 2012)

Brian Ó Domhnaill: Ba mhaith liom pointe oird a árdu agus mo chuid focal féin a cheartú. Luaigh mé €35,000 fá choinne plean teanga a chur i bhfeidhm i gceantar an Spidéil.

Seanad: Gaeltacht Bill 2012: Second Stage (21 Jun 2012)

Brian Ó Domhnaill: Is iad na figiúirí cearta ná €35,000 chun an plean a dhréachtú agus €650,00 chun é a chur i bhfeidhm. Cá háit a bhfuil an t-airgead luaite sa Bhille?

Seanad: Gaeltacht Bill 2012: Second Stage (21 Jun 2012)

Brian Ó Domhnaill: Molaim go gcuirfear an Teach ar athló ar feadh cúig bhomaite go dtí go bhfeicimid. I propose that the House suspend for five minutes. We cannot have Members not knowing what is being said. It is not fair.

Seanad: Order of Business (21 Jun 2012)

Brian Ó Domhnaill: Is mian liom tagairt a dhéanamh i dtaobh an Bille Gaeltachta a bheidh os comhair an Tí um tráthnóna. Bille fíor thábhachtach é seo a bhaineann le stádas na Gaeilge, chan amháin sa Ghaeltacht ach taobh amuigh di fosta. The Second Stage of the Gaeltacht Bill 2012 is before the House later today. It deeply disappointments me, however, that the scheduling of this House gives little...

Seanad: Order of Business (21 Jun 2012)

Brian Ó Domhnaill: I am proposing an amendment that there be a two week interval between Second and Committee Stages.

Seanad: Order of Business (21 Jun 2012)

Brian Ó Domhnaill: No. The schedule for next week has been circulated and Committee Stage is clearly on the schedule for next Tuesday. I therefore propose that Second Stage should not be finished today.

Seanad: Order of Business (21 Jun 2012)

Seanad: Fisheries Protection (20 Jun 2012)

Brian Ó Domhnaill: I thank Senator O'Donovan, who is an expert in this area, for raising the issue and for allowing me 30 seconds to add my tuppenceworth from a north-west point of view. The salmon fishing ban was a devastating blow and a wrong decision. It was devastating for smaller coaster and island communities. The compensation package, although available, was not availed of by all fishermen. Those...

Seanad: Garda Stations (20 Jun 2012)

Brian Ó Domhnaill: I am grateful for the opportunity to raise this motion with regard to a district headquarter Garda station in my constituency, namely, Glenties Garda station, which has been a subject of much speculation over the past number of days following leaks from the Department that the decision may be to close this station as a district station and redeploy any of the additional staff there....
