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...

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...

Seanad: Order of Business (4 Jul 2018)

Joe O'Reilly: I wish my colleague from Cavan, Senator Wilson, well in his presidential endeavours. I have known him down the years and he has a presidential gait.

Seanad: Order of Business (4 Jul 2018)

Joe O'Reilly: We also wish Senator Craughwell well but we get parochial on these questions.

Seanad: Order of Business (4 Jul 2018)

Joe O'Reilly: To briefly return to Senator Wilson's situation, he does have a presidential demeanour and gait so it is a good start and I wish him well.

Seanad: Order of Business (4 Jul 2018)

Joe O'Reilly: Everyone in the House is thoroughly enjoying the good weather and why would we not? It is a unique Mediterranean-type weather experience here. Like everything else it presents its own problems. There are real issues in the agricultural sector. There was a very good piece on the RTÉ news last night about the difficulties grain farmers along the south have. In the area where I live,...

Seanad: Order of Business (20 Jun 2018)

Joe O'Reilly: I congratulate the Minister for Justice and Equality on his marking of the 25th anniversary of Máire Geoghegan-Quinn's legislation to decriminalise homosexuality with an apology to the victims of that criminalisation. It was a landmark human rights legislation and it represented the evolution of our society and civilization. In that regard I congratulate Senator Norris for the lone...

Seanad: Education (Admission to Schools) Bill 2016: Committee Stage (20 Jun 2018)

Joe O'Reilly: I join Senator Ruane in welcoming the Minister, Deputy Bruton, to the House and I express our admiration for his proactivity and leadership and his new approaches in education. He is an extraordinarily successful Minister and it is a pleasure to work with him. I understand and fully support the spirit of Senator Ruane's amendment and what she is trying to achieve. Nobody would question the...

Joe O'Reilly: Ar dtús báire, cuirim fáilte roimh na finnéithe. Tá ceist shimplí amháin agam. Tá sí ceangailte leis an gceist dheireanach. Is é an rud céanna atá i gceist. Má ghlaonnn éinne ó aon thaobh den tír ar an Roinn aon lá sa tseachtain ag iarraidh gnó a dhéanamh as Gaeilge, an bhfuil na finnéithe...

Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Seirbhísí trí Ghaeilge: An Roinn Gnóthaí Fostaíochta agus Coimirce Soisialaí (19 Jun 2018)

Joe O'Reilly: An rud atá daoine á rá linn nó ná nach bhfuil sé éasca, go gcaitear fanacht ar dhuine agus nach bhfuil duine le fáil díreach má chuirtear glaoch ar an Roinn. Tá an finné ag rá linn nach bhfuil sé sin fíor agus go bhfuil daoine ann chun freastal ar gach éinne, an bhfuil?
