Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Sílim go raibh beagán mí-thuiscint ansin ó thaobh cuid de na ceisteanna a chur mé.

Perhaps the officials might come back to me on that. I take the Minister's point on the Abbey Theatre. I would not expect any Minister to dictate the types of plays or artistic endeavours any organisation would undertake....

Tá siad paróisteach ar bhealach amháin. Tá cainteanna fós ar siúl idir an Roinn agus Comhairle Contae na Gaillimhe faoi na...

Seanad: Direct Provision: Statements (4 Oct 2017)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: For the past six years, when Fianna Fáil has been asked to condemn the direct provision system, it has not done so. I would like to be constructive because we need to work together to get this system scrapped and I welcome the change in tone. An injustice has been done to Mr. Justice McMahon.
