Seanad: Order of Business (14 Mar 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Bheinn ag tacú leis an méid atá ráite ag an Seanadóir a chuaigh romham, ach dhéanfaí dearmad scaití go bhfuil sé i bPáirtí an Lucht Oibre agus gur cheart don Aire féin, an Teachta Rabbitte, teacht isteach agus é fhreagairt maidir leis na ceisteanna sin. It is appropriate that all eyes were on Rome yesterday and I welcome the election of Pope Francis. I hope he will be successful...

Seanad: Adjournment Matters: Youth Services (13 Mar 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: In the correspondence I received, Youth Work Ireland Galway disputes the figure of a 10% cut indicated in the comprehensive review of expenditure. Youth Work Ireland Galway stated it had worked out the figure was 6.5% figure. It was stated that discretion is given to the City of Dublin Youth Service Board, which allocates the funding, but it has chosen to apply a 10% cut across the board,...

Seanad: Adjournment Matters: Youth Services (13 Mar 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire Stáit as ucht fanacht le haghaidh na ceiste seo. I raise an issue on behalf of Youth Work Ireland in Galway. The voluntary board of Youth Work Ireland Galway met on Wednesday, 27 February, and the directors were deeply shocked that the allocations from the Department of Children and Youth Affairs were being cut retrospectively by 10% to 1 January 2013. They...

Seanad: Employment Equality (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2013: Second Stage (13 Mar 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim céad fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit agus ba mhaith liom fáilte an-mhór a chur roimh an mBille iontach tábhachtach seo agus comhghairdeachas a dhéanamh le duine ar bith a raibh baint nó pairt acu, ní hamháin leis an mBille ach leis an bhfeachtas a chuaigh roimhe, nó a chuir leis an ndíospóireacht seo ar bhealach ar bith. In a previous life I was a television producer and...

Seanad: Employment Equality (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2013: Second Stage (13 Mar 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I am also very pleased to see the Minister of the State in the Chamber today and I hope that this is an indication that the passing of the Bill before us today will be speedily followed by its passage through the Dail and its passing into law. The Bill introduced by Deputy O'Brien three weeks ago not only sets out to end the possibility of discrimination by amending Section 37 of the...

Seanad: Order of Business (13 Mar 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Inné, d'ardaigh mé ceist maidir le cúrsaí bochtanachta in Éirinn, ach bhí an oiread díograis ar an gCeannaire a bheith ag tabhairt amach faoi pholasaí Shinn Fein sa Tuaisceart nár fhreagair sé an cheist. Yesterday I asked for a debate on poverty and I do not believe there was clarification from the Leader in that respect. In his zeal to have a go at Sinn Féin's policy in the...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: What about the services householders receive in return?

Seanad: Order of Business (12 Mar 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: On a point of order, the Leader is misrepresenting the policy of my party. We have a consistent policy in the North and South. The Leader should read our policy documents.

Seanad: Order of Business (12 Mar 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I dtosach báire, ba mhaith liom tagairt don méid a bhí le rá ag mo chomhghleacaí as Gaillimh, an Seanadóir Michael Mullins. Arís, tá sé ag déanamh mí-chur síos ar an méid atá á dhéanamh ag Sinn Féin ó Thuaidh agus ó Dheas. Is trua é nár fhan sé leis an bhfreagra a chlos. I wish to put on record that Senator Mullins has misrepresented the Sinn Féin policy once more...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: What about all the households who cannot afford to pay a property tax?

Seanad: Order of Business (12 Mar 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: To tell this House that there were no options is completely untrue. The Government had many options, but it took the option of following the tweedledum and tweedledee politics of Fianna Fáil.
