Seanad: Forbairtí maidir leis an Ghaeilge: Ráitis (3 Apr 2019)

Joe O'Reilly: Ar dtús, is cúis áthais dom é fáilte a chur roimh an Aire Stáit agus tréaslaím leis as a chuid oibre díograiseach agus éifeachtach. Molaim an t-airgead breise sa bhuiséad agus na hacmhainní atá ar fáil anois. I dtús báire, tá sé tábhachtach a rá gur fiú ár dteanga, ár...

Seanad: Order of Business (28 Mar 2019)

Joe O'Reilly: I join with Senator Feighan in offering our condolences to the family of John Browne, a former Deputy and Senator and an absolute gentleman. He was also a former primary school teacher. He was a man who gave public service of the highest quality in the classroom, Seanad and Dáil for many years. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis. I am very happy to second the call by Senator...

Seanad: Civil Liability (Capping of General Damages Bill) 2019: Second Stage (28 Mar 2019)

Joe O'Reilly: I join my colleague, Senator Reilly, in welcoming the Minister for Justice and Equality, Deputy Flanagan, to the House. I acknowledge the Minister's interaction with the Members in this Chamber. We greatly appreciate his proactive and professional approach to this very sensitive Ministry.

Joe O'Reilly: It is also possible to evolve in one's thinking. Anyway, I do not propose to continue-----

Seanad: Civil Liability (Capping of General Damages Bill) 2019: Second Stage (28 Mar 2019)

Joe O'Reilly: I acknowledge the great contribution of Senator Lawlor today but would make the point that nobody is suggesting that people who are injured would not be adequately rewarded. That is not a proposition that anyone here would make. We all have families and friends and none of us is suggesting that we should live in a country like that. People should be adequately compensated for loss of...

Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Seirbhísí trí Ghaeilge (Atógáil): An Roinn Talmhaíochta, Bia agus Mara (26 Mar 2019)

Joe O'Reilly: I dtús báire ba mhaith liom fáilte a chur roimh an Roinn agus mo leithscéal a ghabháil faoi go bhfuilim giota beag déanach de bharr go raibh mé ag freastal ar chruinniú eile. Dúirt an tUasal O'Connell sa ráiteas tosaigh dá cuid go bhfuil easpa acmhainní ag an Roinn agus go bhfuil sé sin lárnach agus gur deacracht faoi...

Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Seirbhísí trí Ghaeilge (Atógáil): An Roinn Talmhaíochta, Bia agus Mara (26 Mar 2019)

Joe O'Reilly: Ní dóigh liom go mbeadh caighdeán ró-ard riachtanach chun dul i dteagmháil le feirmeoirí mar gheall ar a gcuid beithíoch agus a leithéid, agus ní ag maslú na feirmeoirí atáim mar is daoine iontach éirimiúil iad. Rugadh mise ar fheirm. Ní dóigh liom go mbeadh PhD sa Ghaeilge riachtanach. Is dóigh liom go...

Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Seirbhísí trí Ghaeilge (Atógáil): An Roinn Talmhaíochta, Bia agus Mara (26 Mar 2019)

Joe O'Reilly: An caighdeán, an ea?

Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Seirbhísí trí Ghaeilge (Atógáil): An Roinn Talmhaíochta, Bia agus Mara (26 Mar 2019)

Joe O'Reilly: Tá na scéimeanna seo á n-úsáid i go leor áiteanna. Tá cineál eolais agam ar na scéimeanna talmhaíochta agus na cártaí agus a leithéid. Tá siad bunúsach go leor, cheapfainn. Tá a fhios agam maidir leis an rud atá á rá ag mo chomhghleacaí go bhfuil caighdeán go mba chóir go mbeadh...

Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Seirbhísí trí Ghaeilge (Atógáil): An Roinn Talmhaíochta, Bia agus Mara (26 Mar 2019)

Joe O'Reilly: B'shin an rud bunúsach nó is é an focal cuí nach bhfuil siad muiníneach go leor. Is deacracht i ngach slí é sin.

Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Seirbhísí trí Ghaeilge (Atógáil): An Roinn Talmhaíochta, Bia agus Mara (26 Mar 2019)

Joe O'Reilly: Tá sé i gceist ag an Roinn iarracht a dhéanamh é sin a réiteach.

Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Seirbhísí trí Ghaeilge (Atógáil): An Roinn Talmhaíochta, Bia agus Mara (26 Mar 2019)

Joe O'Reilly: Tá go leor cúrsaí ar siúl ach níl daoine ag teacht suas chun iad a dhéanamh.

Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Seirbhísí trí Ghaeilge (Atógáil): An Roinn Talmhaíochta, Bia agus Mara (26 Mar 2019)

Joe O'Reilly: Tá focal scoir agam faoi sin. Nuair a bhí mise óg, fadó fadó, bhí cuid mhaith de státseirbhísigh ag tnúth le coicís a chaitheamh sa Ghaeltacht. Nuair a bhí mise óg, bhí mo chairde sa Státseirbhís ag rá liom go raibh coicís saor in aisce sa Ghaeltacht acu. Níl sé sin mar an gcéanna fosta....

Joe O'Reilly: Sin chomh haosta is atáim.

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (13 Mar 2019)

Joe O'Reilly: I agree with Senators Ned O’Sullivan and McDowell about the St. Patrick’s Day trips, or visits to use the more appropriate term. One aspect that struck me when I took part as a local authority chairman from my own county was that it means a great deal to our diaspora. These are people we sometimes abandon. To give them a morale boost by meeting them and attending their...

Seanad: Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union (Consequential Provisions) Bill 2019: Committee and Remaining Stages (13 Mar 2019)

Joe O'Reilly: I echo the point made by Senator Richmond. The amendment could lose sight of the work that has been done on preparedness for Brexit and the most difficult scenario. While always hoping for the best, all our officials and our Government have been preparing for the worst at all stages. In the context of discussing business preparedness, I pay tribute to my constituency colleague, the...

Seanad: Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union (Consequential Provisions) Bill 2019: Committee and Remaining Stages (13 Mar 2019)

Joe O'Reilly: I welcome my fellow Ulsterman, the Minister, Deputy McHugh, to the House. There can hardly be a Minister who is more aware of the awful implications of Brexit than him and anyone from the Border are will have an acute consciousness of the issue and significant concern about it. I understand what Senator Gavan is trying to achieve and nobody would object to the underlying principle of the...

Seanad: Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union (Consequential Provisions) Bill 2019: Second Stage (12 Mar 2019)

Joe O'Reilly: I join in the welcome to my neighbour, the Minister of State, and the general commendation of her great work and tenacity in this area. It is becoming more problematic by the hour but if the vote is not won tonight, we all have to hope that a crash-out, no-deal Brexit will be ruled out tomorrow. That has to be the next best hope if the vote fails tonight. At that point, the onus remains on...
