Seanad: Order of Business (27 Nov 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: -----and how soon this will happen, whether the other reports could be expedited and whether we could have a full and open discussion on this whole case. If there are other victims out there-----

Seanad: Water Sector Reforms: Statements (25 Nov 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ba mhaith liom nóiméad amháin a thabhairt don Seanadóir Healy Eames. Cuirim fáilte roimh muintir na Gaillimhe atá i nGailearaí na gCuairteoirí chomh maith céanna. Faraor go bhfuil an iomarca ard ag na pairtithe eile - iad san Rialtas - ar cé chomh maith is atá Sinn Féin ag déanamh seachas na ceisteanna atá ag déanamh...

Seanad: Water Sector Reforms: Statements (25 Nov 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: It is not because of a lack of investment. The investment has been made in the first part of the scheme. However, Irish Water is planning to scrap the second part of the scheme. Who is in charge of telling the people their water is contaminated and carcinogenic? We are told with the level of THM in the water in Carraroe, that over a long period of time it is carcinogenic. Irish Water...

Seanad: Water Sector Reforms: Statements (25 Nov 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Galway County Council tells us it is not responsible. Will the Minister of State clarify who in the new regime is going to tell us about these things? We are not going to put up with this any more. We were told Irish Water was set up to invest in and improve the system. It is telling us it is not going to invest as Galway County Council had planned but will go back to an old botch-up,...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Is this about the polls?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Future Plans: Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht (25 Nov 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Caithfidh mé leithscéal a ghabháil mar tá mé le bheith in áit eile ag fiche tar éis a cúig. Mura mhiste leis an gcoiste, cuirfidh mé mo cheisteanna le go mbeidh siad ar an dtaifead agus beidh mé ábalta na freagraí a léamh ar ball. Baineann mo chéad cheist le ceann de na ceisteanna a tháinig aníos an t-am seo an...

Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: An Fochoiste um an Straitéis 20 Bliain don Ghaeilge 2010-2030 agus Rudaí Gaolmhara: Supporting Minority Languages: Welsh Language Commission (25 Nov 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Tuilleadh gearrtha siar. Some 1.5% of the staff in the Department of Education and Skills are proficient in the Irish language, the key Department in the transmission of Irish. What legislation is used in Wales if the civil service or the public service is recruiting? How do they ensure there is a suitable number of staff proficient in the Welsh language to deliver services? Does the...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I thank the delegates for attending. Ba mhaith liom pointe a dhéanamh ar dtús. Sílim gur ardaigh an tUasal de Spáinn an pointe freisin. Nílim ag díriú mo mhéar ar aon duine sa seomra seo ach is trua é nach bhfuil an acmhainn ar fáil againn go bhféadfaí an díospóireacht seo a dhéanamh go dhá-theangach agus go...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Tuigim é sin. Níl mé ag cur locht - beag ná mór - ar aon duine anseo ach is léiriúchán é ó thaobh na Tithe anseo. Mar a dúirt an Coimisineir, sa Bhreatain is féidir leo a rogha teanga a úsáid nuair is toil leo é sin a dhéanamh. Ní féidir linn é sin a dhéanamh, fiú sna Tithe seo....

Seanad: Report of Commission for the Economic Development of Rural Areas: Statements (19 Nov 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim céad fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit. Táim thar a bheith sásta go bhfuil sí anseo agus tá sé thar a bheith tábhachtach go mbeidh an díospóireacht seo againn. Fáiltím go mór roimh a ceapúchán. I very much welcome the position which has been created and that we have a Minister of State with responsibility for...

Seanad: Commemoration Planning: Statements (13 Nov 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I am equally disappointed.

Seanad: Commemoration Planning: Statements (13 Nov 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: When in government, Fianna Fáil could have issued a compulsory purchase order and acquired Moore Street and the surrounding historic lanes from NAMA. The current Government could, if it wanted, do exactly the same. However this is not happening. Instead, a bankrupt private developer was allowed to let this priceless historic quarter descend into a state of abject disrepair and decay....

Seanad: Commemoration Planning: Statements (13 Nov 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire. Ba mhaith liom ar dtús fáilte a chur roimh an bhfógra a tháinig inné, mar táimid ag fanacht leis le fada, ach tá díomá orainn chomh maith leis an ábhar atá ins an gcáipéis ar fad. I welcome the Minister and the fact that at long last we have received some indication from the Government of how...

Seanad: Commemoration Planning: Statements (13 Nov 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: This plan, which has been a long time coming, it is very short on substance. Why has it taken the Government three years to come up with a plan for the various events and why has the planned three-month consultative process not happened? Why has the input of the Oireachtas consultation group on centenary commemorations been virtually ignored? My colleague Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh and...
