Seanad: Public Transport: Motion (7 Oct 2009)

Pearse Doherty: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Seanadóir O'Toole as a chuid ama a roinnt liom. I welcome the Minister of State. From the contributions I have heard so far, some of which I missed because I was attending a Council for the West meeting at which rural transport was firmly on the agenda, it is clear there is unanimity on both sides of the House on the issue of retention of the rural transport...

Seanad: Cúrsaí Gaeilge agus Gaeltachta (24 Sep 2009)

Pearse Doherty: Seasaim chun aird an Teach a dhíriú ar na moltaí i dtuarascáil an bord snip nua maidir leis an Ghaeilge agus an Ghaeltacht. Ba mhaith liom go mhíneodh an Aire Stáit, an Teachta Curran, an gá leis an Aire Gnóthaí Pobail, Tuaithe agus Gaeltachta, i bhfianaise na gciorruithe 58% nó €50 milliún atá molta ag an bord snip nua don Ghaeltacht agus dos na hoileáin, dearbhú a thabhairt...

Seanad: Cúrsaí Gaeilge agus Gaeltachta (24 Sep 2009)

Pearse Doherty: Cuirim fáilte roimh an ráiteas is déanaí atá déanta ag an Roinn chun a chinntiú go dtiocfaidh feabhas ar an Ghaeilge mar teanga teaghlaigh an phobail sna glúinte atá romhainn. Ar an drochuair, áfach, ní raibh an Aire in ann rá nach gcuirfí chun cinn aon ceann de moltaí an bord snip nua. Caithfear a rá freisin, nuair a chuireann Seanadóir ceist i nGaeilge ar Aire nó Aire...

Seanad: Cúrsaí Gaeilge agus Gaeltachta (24 Sep 2009)

Pearse Doherty: This is a point of order.

Seanad: Cúrsaí Gaeilge agus Gaeltachta (24 Sep 2009)

Pearse Doherty: This is a question. I asked a question of the Minister with responsibility for the Gaeltacht about Gaeltacht issues and I deserve and am entitled to an answer in Irish. The corridors of Leinster House should have been scoured to find a Minister or Minister of State to answer that question in Irish. This is an insult to the people-----

Seanad: Cúrsaí Gaeilge agus Gaeltachta (24 Sep 2009)

Pearse Doherty: -----who are actively campaigning for the protection of Irish language rights that even in their own Parliament they cannot get an answer to a question in Irish.

Seanad: Cúrsaí Gaeilge agus Gaeltachta (24 Sep 2009)

Pearse Doherty: Go raibh maith agat.

Seanad: Order of Business (23 Sep 2009)

Pearse Doherty: Ar dtús báire, ba mhaith liom cur leis an méid atá ráite ag an Seanadóir O'Toole ar maidin. There is often talk on the first day of a new term about Seanad reform. It seems significant additional work has recently been done in this area notwithstanding the 13 reports already published on Seanad reform, none of which has thus far been implemented. I and my party, along with other...

Seanad: Order of Business (23 Sep 2009)

Pearse Doherty: We must have a meaningful debate on the direction in which we want to go. I take issue with some of the comments made by Senators in regard to the Lisbon treaty. The forthcoming referendum represents the greatest challenge the State will face in the weeks, months and years ahead. I welcome the various farmers' groups, trade unions, women's groups and community organisations which are...

Seanad: Order of Business (23 Sep 2009)

Pearse Doherty: The newspaper claims the Government is peddling phantom terrors.

Seanad: Order of Business (23 Sep 2009)

Pearse Doherty: The Wall Street Journal has said the Government's chief strategy is to prey on people's fear, peddling phantom terrors to scare people into voting "Yes". That is what influential international economists are saying.

Seanad: The Economy: Statements (23 Sep 2009)

Pearse Doherty: Cuirim fáilte roimh an díospóireacht seo. Níl ár gcuid cainte faoi chúrsaí eacnamaíochta tábhachtach muna bhfuil éinne ag éisteacht linn. Is í sin an cheist is tábhachtaí. An bhfuil éinne ag éisteacht linn? Tá cúrsaí eacnamaíochta na tíre pléite againn anseo sa Seanad go mion is go minic. Tá moltaí curtha chun tosaigh ag páirtithe éagsúla, mo phairtí ina...

Seanad: The Economy: Statements (23 Sep 2009)

Pearse Doherty: -----the World Trade Organisation talks or lower wages. All those issues are dealt with in the articles referred to on the posters but I refer to one of the myths peddled in the previous debate. I call it a myth because I knew it to be a lie on the basis of France's experience. It is that a "No" vote in the Lisbon treaty would result in foreign direct investment being withdrawn from...
