Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Use of Irish Airspace and Landing Facilities: Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (3 Dec 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: For example, a cleaner in Shannon Airport could be sent in to clean an aeroplane for some reason, only to see somebody shackled aboard the aeroplane.

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I thank and welcome Mr. Burgess and the other officials from the Department. I was on the delegation that went to Shannon. We talked to the airport authorities and spoke to the gardaí there. Basically, they painted a picture for us to the effect that they had no role whatsoever in the issue outlined. The way they described it these aircraft have diplomatic immunity, they were...

Similar answers have been given to many parliamentary questions, etc. What is the position of sovereign immunity vis-à-visinternational human rights law? What if there were someone on an airplane coming from another country who had been tortured or was being brought to a place to be tortured? Where do the rights of these...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Licensing and Harvesting of Seaweed in Ireland: Discussion (Resumed) (2 Dec 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Is that information available to us? Has there been a study on how much seaweed is on our shores and where it is? It is said that in the Ceantar na nOileán-Leitir Móir-Leitir Mealláin area it has been overharvested, in other areas it is underharvested, and that a balance is required. Is there a study that provides us with that type of statistical information?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Licensing and Harvesting of Seaweed in Ireland: Discussion (Resumed) (2 Dec 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: In her research, would Dr. Edwards have experience of looking at that in areas such as Nova Scotia which would have a similar climate and a similar type of seaweed cutting but which is more industrialised? I think the issues to which she has referred about inexperience around the way the seaweed is being cut is affecting the resource going forward and the management of the resource. Perhaps...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: There has been a great deal of debate recently about the development of the seaweed industry in the west. I am not sure how much of it falls within the bailiwick of the witnesses. I will ask my questions anyway and see how many of them can be answered. I am a native of An Aird Mhór, Carna, which is close enough to the Arramara Teoranta plant. My ancestors were seaweed cutters and...
