Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Licensing and Harvesting of Seaweed in Ireland: Discussion (8 Jul 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Was there no other contact between agents of Mr. Deveau's company and the Government on the changing of the licensing regime? It is very strange that, although we have had a Foreshore Act since 1933, it is now being policed all of a sudden. It is valid to ask why it is happening now. People are asking whether it is related to the transfer of Arramara.

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Maidir leis an bpáipéarachas a bhain leis sin agus leis an bpróiseas, sílim go mbeadh sé tábhachtach é a chur ar an taifead más féidir cead a fháil é sin a dhéanamh.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Licensing and Harvesting of Seaweed in Ireland: Discussion (8 Jul 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Níl mé ag iarraidh na tairiscintí féin a fheiceáil ach díreach an próiseas a sholéiriú. Tá sé tábhachtach go déantar sin.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Licensing and Harvesting of Seaweed in Ireland: Discussion (8 Jul 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: An bhféadfadh an tUasal ÓhEochaidh aon treoir breise a thabhairt dúinn? Níl mé ag lorg na bhfigiúirí ach, abair, an méid atá an t-údarás ag fáil ó Acadian agus an méid atá sé ag íoc ar ais. Go bunúsach, tá scéalta ag dul thart go bhfuil an t-údarás ag fáil airgid i lámh...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Céad fáilte roimh uilig. Meascfaidh mé mo chuid ráitís idir Bhéarla agus Gaeilge mar gurb í an Ghaeilge is nádúrthaí dom. Ó thaobh Údarás na Gaeltachta de, deineadh roinnt líomhaintí an-tromchúiseacha ar ball maidir leis an ról a bhí ag an údarás ó thaobh díol Arramara Teoranta....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Licensing and Harvesting of Seaweed in Ireland: Discussion (8 Jul 2014)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Licensing and Harvesting of Seaweed in Ireland: Discussion (8 Jul 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: There was a specific question asked about Údarás. I am aware its representatives will be here later and it would be useful to have an answer. The BioAtlantis deputation stated there were specific issues about the sale that Údarás should answer. Will Mr. O'Sullivan enlighten us?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Licensing and Harvesting of Seaweed in Ireland: Discussion (8 Jul 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I welcome the witnesses. This is a very interesting debate and one that is very topical in the west of Ireland. It clearly also affects the north, south and south west also. It is a complicated issue. The role of the harvester was only mentioned once or twice. Looking from the outside it might be asked if it would make more sense to set up some kind of independent organisation...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: No, because we are discussing-----

Seanad: Health Service Executive (Financial Matters) Bill 2013: Second Stage (3 Jul 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: -----the oversight of HSE budgets, which is relevant when moneys are spent on the West/North West Hospitals Group and questions have been raised about it by the Minister. A number of other companies have received lucrative contracts from that group, leading to questions of how the public procurement process was complied with in those cases. To put everyone's mind at ease, I call on the...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Is the Minister going to release the report?

Seanad: Health Service Executive (Financial Matters) Bill 2013: Second Stage (3 Jul 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I am willing to answer them.

Seanad: Health Service Executive (Financial Matters) Bill 2013: Second Stage (3 Jul 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim céad fáilte roimh an Aire. B'fhéidir gur é seo an t-am deireannach a bheidh muid ag labhairt leis sa ról ina bhfuil sé. Is lá stairiúil sa mhéid sin é sin. It is essentially a technicality whether funding for health services is voted in separate HSE and Department of Health Votes, as has been the case up to now, or in one Vote, as...

Seanad: Regulation (EU) No. 603/2013 on the Establishment of Eurodac: Motion (3 Jul 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ba mhaith liom míle buíochas a ghlacadh leis an gCeannaire Gníomhach as ucht an díospóireacht seo a ghlacadh inniu. Gabhaim buíochas freisin leis an Aire as ucht bheith anseo chun an díospóireacht a thógáil. I welcome the fact that we have been given the opportunity to debate the Eurodac proposal. It is important that we get the chance in...

Seanad: Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission Bill 2014: Committee Stage (3 Jul 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: The Minister will be aware that I and many other Senators have continually raised the issue of direct provision in the House. There are many who feel that the human rights of those in direct provision have been transgressed. A former holder of the position of Ombudsman raised the issue of the oversight of the direct provision system and stated that she wanted the Ombudsman (Amendment) Act...

Seanad: Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission Bill 2014: Committee Stage (3 Jul 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I would beg to differ but I will not discuss the matter in detail now. There are inherent difficulties with the system of direct provision as it is set up. I refer to the fact that it is a privatised system and that there is lack of oversight in respect of it. There are many issues which arise in the context of direct provision but we will not discuss them now because they are not...

Seanad: Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission Bill 2014: Committee Stage (3 Jul 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I move amendment No. 1: In page 9, between lines 18 and 19, to insert the following:"8. Pursuant to the Good Friday Agreement, an international agreement of which this Government is a co-guarantor, the Irish Government will take steps to further strengthen the protection of human rights in its jurisdiction. The Government will bring forward measures to strengthen and underpin the...

Seanad: Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission Bill 2014: Committee Stage (3 Jul 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I appreciate the Minister's reply. In our reading, though, the IHRC does not have the full range of powers available to the commission in the North. Therefore, the equivalence obligation under the Good Friday Agreement appears to have been ignored. That the Government is proposing to amalgamate the IHRC and Equality Authority will result in a mismatch of powers and obligations and the...
