Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Which word?

Seanad: Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Bill 2013: Committee Stage (12 Jul 2013)

Seanad: Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Bill 2013: Committee Stage (12 Jul 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Disingenuous is a good word, is it not?

Seanad: Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Bill 2013: Committee Stage (12 Jul 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: It is very disingenuous to make those very valid points but then to support the Bill. The reality is that the Government has not grasped the dire situation in the market. One in four households, 180,000 in total, is in mortgage distress. These are real families who need to be taken care of and it is our job, as legislators, to ensure they are taken care of. There is no point in making...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I was present.

Seanad: Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Bill 2013: Committee Stage (12 Jul 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I outlined on Second Stage some of our issues with this and our main concern is fact there is no incentive for the banks to engage with the personal insolvency process in a fair and reasonable manner prior to seeking repossession. The code of conduct is skewed against the mortgage holder and there are insufficient protections for families who are in the most distress. Neither is there...

Seanad: Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Bill 2013: Committee Stage (12 Jul 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Sinn Féin Members want to note that we still have some misgivings about section 2, particularly that subsection (2) allows a court to adjourn repossession proceedings for a period of two months to allow for the making of a proposal for a personal insolvency arrangement. We would like clarification as to what that will mean in reality. We believe a different approach is needed. We...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Are we second hand?

Seanad: Order of Business (12 Jul 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ba mhaith liom tacú leis an moladh atá déanta ag mo chomhghleacaí go dtiocfadh an tAire Sláinte isteach, ar nós mar a mholamar inné. D'aontaigh an Ceannaire linn go bhfuil sé tábhachtach go dtabharfadh an tAire soiléiriú maidir le ceist na gcártaí leighis. Gealladh dúinn freisin go mbeadh an athbhreithniú ar Acht na...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Yes.

Seanad: Order of Business (11 Jul 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Gan dabht, tá cuid mhaith cainte agus clúdach dhá dhéanamh faoin dhá dhíospóireacht móra atá ar siúl sna Tithe seo i láthair na huaire, ach sílim go bhfuil an pobal ag déanamh níos mó imní faoin chás eacnamaíochta atá againn. The commitment last year of the Eurogroup to break the connection between...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I propose that the Minister for Health, Deputy Reilly, come to the House to refute this statement which appears in a newspaper-----

Seanad: Order of Business (11 Jul 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: The statement attributed in the media this morning to the Minister for Health, Deputy Reilly, that cancer patients who are deemed not terminal will no longer be guaranteed a medical card. I am asking that the Minister come to this House to refute that statement, by which cancer patients will be very distressed. It is important this matter is rectified immediately.

Seanad: Adjournment Matters: Medical Aids and Appliances Provision (10 Jul 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Go raibh maith agat as ucht do fhoighne agus beagáinín moille a bheith orm anseo agus tá mé an-bhuíoch don Aire Stáit as ucht a bheith anseo chomh deireanach seo san oíche leis an gceist seo a phlé. Táim ag ardú ceiste maidir le teicneolaíocht a bhaineann le daoine a bhfuil fadhbanna acu ó thaobh sruth na fola sna cosa. Tá...

Seanad: Adjournment Matters: Medical Aids and Appliances Provision (10 Jul 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Go raibh maith agat, just go tapaidh a Aire Stáit táim an-bhuíoch díot faoi sin. Ba mhaith liom a chur in iúl do Aire Sláinte gur chóir breathnú ar an gceist seo ar nós mar a bhreathnaítear ar an tástáil drugaí a dhéantar le haghaidh ailse. Is féidir linne a bheith ceannródaíoch sa rud seo. Tá gá...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Yes. Agus muid ag plé na gceisteanna seo táimid ag plé na mbuntáistí a bhaineann leis an Seanad. Tá sé an-fheicealách go bhfuil an Ghaeilge á cur chun cinn sa tSeanad. Seachas an Seanad a scor ba chóir í a úsáid agus deis a thapú leis an teanga náisiúnta a chur chun cinn. Tá ard-mholadh ag dul do...
