Seanad: Health and Social Care Professionals (Amendment) Bill 2018: Second Stage (17 Oct 2018)

Joe O'Reilly: I join in welcoming the Minister to the House, and I acknowledge the dynamism and commitment he brings to his Ministry. We are delighted to have him in the House yet again. My party is happy to commend the Bill also and to add to the unanimity around it. The Health and Social Care Professionals Act 2005 was of extraordinary importance. It established statutory regulation which was crucial...

Seanad: Order of Business (4 Oct 2018)

Joe O'Reilly: Absolutely. It is virtually impossible and I will not attempt to emulate Senator Norris. I thank the Cathaoirleach for the opportunity and I formally support Senators Gavan and Norris in their comments about the Bedouin village. It is very important to do that. I ask the Acting Leader to facilitate a debate as soon as possible on Brexit readiness in the agricultural sector. Before...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Estimates for Public Services 2018: Vote 29 - Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment (2 Oct 2018)

Joe O'Reilly: My questions are born from a concern that we get high speed broadband into every home in the country. That is what we want to achieve. Will the Minister give a timeframe for getting broadband into every home? Is he confident that the preparatory work by councils to sort out the infrastructure at local authority level to make sure we are good to go is working well? Will the Minister...

Seanad: Post Office Closures: Motion (19 Sep 2018)

Joe O'Reilly: I second the amendment.

Seanad: Post Office Closures: Motion (19 Sep 2018)

Joe O'Reilly: It is good to see my constituency colleague, Senator Wilson, performing so well and so objectively in the Chair. Many people have put this debate in context by saying that there is a historical basis to post office closures, which have been going on for years. I think that point has been very well made. Nobody can escape that reality. The Minister, Deputy Naughten, made a very spirited...

Seanad: Post Office Closures: Motion (19 Sep 2018)

Joe O'Reilly: None of that.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Moderation of Violent and Harmful Content on the Facebook Platform: Discussion (1 Aug 2018)

Joe O'Reilly: I join others in welcoming Ms Sweeney and Ms Cummiskey. I thank them for attending. I cannot sufficiently impress upon them the absolute horror of the public, including people we meet, about the availability of violent images, hate speech and pornography. The risks associated with this kind of thing are a cause of great concern to parents, teachers and the general public. I have some...

Seanad: Order of Business (11 Jul 2018)

Joe O'Reilly: Many of my colleagues will be aware of the good work done by the PEACE IV programme, funding for which comes through the European Regional Development Fund, ERDF. It brings €270 million into the country. Projects are 85% funded from Europe. Cavan, Monaghan, Donegal, Leitrim, Louth and Sligo directly benefit. The programme funds shared educational initiatives for children and young...

Seanad: Situation in Palestine: Statements (11 Jul 2018)

Joe O'Reilly: I welcome An Tánaiste and salute him on his real engagement with this issue. I do not think anyone in the House is disputing that. I commend Senator Black on introducing the Bill. In essence, there is not a person in this House, and very few outside it in this country, who in any way countenance the settlements. They are a horror to all of us. They are illegal and they are wrong on...

Seanad: Situation in Palestine: Statements (Resumed) (11 Jul 2018)

Joe O'Reilly: Can I propose that?

Seanad: Situation in Palestine: Statements (Resumed) (11 Jul 2018)

Joe O'Reilly: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit. Tá an-meas agam ar a chuid oibre. Tá sé díograiseach agus dáiríre faoin teanga agus an obair atá ar siúl aige. Thug sé dea-shampla don náisiún nuair a d'fhoghlaim sé an teanga agus tá caighdeán ard aige anois. Is dea-shampla é sin agus ba chóir go mbeadh níos...

Joe O'Reilly: -----agus níl an bród acu sa teanga. Ba chóir rud éicint a dhéanamh faoi sin, go mbeadh forbairt sa churaclum. B'fhéidir gur ceart go mbeadh múinteoirí breise, níos mó inseirbhís agus níos mó seansanna do mhúinteoirí dul go dtí na Gaeltachtaí féin chun a gcuid Gaeilge féin a fhorbairt agus a...
