Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I dtús báire, ba mhaith liom fáilte a chur roimh an gcoimisinéir agus a rá go bhfuil an-aiféal orm gur bhraith sé go raibh air an cinneadh a ghlac sé a ghlacadh.

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire. Tá mé thar a bheith buíoch di as teacht isteach anocht agus an rún seo a thógáil. I have raised this issue with the Minister previously.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Decisions on Public Petitions Received (22 Jan 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: As a committee we were not happy with the response from the Department. There is merit in the position being proposed by the Equality Budgeting Campaign.

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I thank Senator Quinn for sharing his time. Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire. Sinn Féin has always argued that CAP funding should be distributed on a fair and equitable basis and should direct supports to those who need them within the farming sector. We want to see an end to a situation whereby a few individuals at the top of the farming pile receive the lion’s share of the...

Seanad: Order of Business (22 Jan 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Tá sé suimiúil le tabhairt faoi deara gurb é seo an comóradh chéad bliain den Chéad Cogadh Domhanda, ach tharla rud eile suntasach i Mí Dheireadh Fómhair 1914, is é sin gur bhunaigh Séamus Ó Conghaile Léig Neodracht na hÉireann. This year marks the centenary of the beginning of the First World War. In October of that...

Seanad: Order of Business (16 Jan 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ba mhaith liom aird a tharraingt ar dhá cheist an-tábhachtach ar maidin. I am sure the Leader will be aware of the detention yesterday of Ms Margaretta D'Arcy who is a member of Aosdána. She is a well-known film maker and a peace activist. She was arrested a number of months ago in an incident at a protest at Shannon Airport on the use of Shannon for stopovers by rendition...
