Niall Ó Donnghaile: I am happy to change my language around that. With respect, this is not an issue of semantics. It is an issue of practical legislative mechanisms that could allow for that. I have raised the issue of citizenship with the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade and the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality at two different committees recently. I am resident in the North. I...

Seanad: Order of Business (19 Oct 2016)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: It is hard to believe that we have almost reached the end of October and, as a result, almost at the end of the historic centenary year of 2016. This year many events have taken place up and down the country not just to remember and reflect but, hopefully, to rededicate and re-energise ourselves around the spirit and ideals of that era and the 1916 Rising. I want to draw the attention of...

Niall Ó Donnghaile: Is cúis bróid agus sonais dom go bhfuil mé in ann ardú chun tacú leis an mBille seo inniu.

I have been overwhelmed and very impressed by the level of correspondence to us over the past weeks, not least from...

Niall Ó Donnghaile: On behalf of our Seanad team, I echo the words of sympathy to the Mallon clan on the loss of Gertrude. Go ndéana Dia a mhaith uirthi. Ahead of tomorrow's debate on the recognition of Irish Sign Language, will the Leader ensure we have an interpreter in the Chamber to facilitate sign on behalf of those groups and organisations which will be represented here?

Seanad: Order of Business (13 Oct 2016)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: I commend to the House the report published this morning by the Joint Committee on Justice and Equality on the recognition of Irish Sign Language as an official language of the State. Our committee heard from the Irish Deaf Society a fortnight ago. Its presentation, on the back of the very important work of Senator Mark Daly on the issue, had a profound impact on the members of the...

Niall Ó Donnghaile: The last shall be first and the first shall be last. Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire as a cur i láthair. Tá mé buartha gur chaill mé é.
