Seanad: Order of Business (20 Feb 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ach an oiread le mo chomhghleacaithe, ba mhaith liom tréaslú leis an Taoiseach as ucht an leithscéal a gabhadh inné, lá stairiúil do na mná a d'fhulaing ins na hionaid Magdalen. Céim dhearfach chun cinn í sin agus tá súil agam go leanfar leis na moltaí a cuireadh os comhair an Tí inné. I also welcome the full apology offered by the Taoiseach yesterday. That apology is...

Seanad: Adjournment Matters: Asylum Seeker Accommodation (14 Feb 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I thank the Minister of State for his comprehensive reply. I also thank the Minister for Justice and Equality and I ask the Minister of State to ask him to clarify for us whether a protocol is in place for the approximately 30 private centres mentioned, which are subject to local planning rules under the auspices of the planning authorities, whereby the RIA checks with local authorities, or...

Seanad: Adjournment Matters: Asylum Seeker Accommodation (14 Feb 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit. Tá mé thar bheith buíoch gur tháinig sé isteach chun an cheist seo a phlé. The matter relates to the direct provision system and the accommodation provided through the Department of Justice and Equality for people seeking refugee status. Throughout the State, hotels, hostels, caravan parks and so on are used to house people in this position and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Decisions on Public Petitions Received (13 Feb 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Obviously it is a huge issue for the person involved and for the petitioner but I do not think it is admissible under our terms of reference. It would appear to be almost like a civil case between the person who owns the lands and the National Roads Authority and the county council. I suggest we write to the petitioner, refer to the terms of reference and say it would not appear to be...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Decisions on Public Petitions Received (13 Feb 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: This is a very complex issue. It arises out of a personal situation and obviously we are not here to adjudicate on such a situation or a case between a county council and An Bord Pleanála and an individual. It also points to some policy questions that have been raised that would be important for us to examine further. Obviously, as a committee, we do not have the power to intervene or...

Seanad: Address to Seanad Éireann by Ms Phil Prendergast, MEP. (13 Feb 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Go raibh maith agat. Bhí mé ag éisteacht san oifig. I was listening very intently to Ms Prendergast in the office. Cuirim fáilte roimh an Fheisire de Pharlaimint na hEorpa. Is breá an rud duine dá leithéid a bheith anseo le labhairt linn. It is somewhat ironic that Ms Prendergast is speaking to us today as a midwife at the same time as we have had a protest of midwives in the Irish...

Seanad: Order of Business (12 Feb 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ba mhaith liom moladh a thabhairt don Phápa Beinidict as ucht an cinneadh cróga agus ceannródaíoch a ghlac sé inné. Guím chuile rath air agus ar na cairdinéil a bheidh ag roghnú duine le teacht i gcomharbacht air. It also is important that we have a debate on the Magdelen laundries report. It is clear from the report that the State was complicit in what was happening in those...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I would like to be associated with the Acting Chairman's welcome. I met the parliamentary group earlier and it is fantastic to have relations with them.

Seanad: Adjournment Matters (Resumed) (7 Feb 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire Stáit as ucht na ceiste seo a thógáil. Chuir mé spéis sa dara alt deireanach, ina ndúirt an Aire Stáit go bhfuil "tréimhse de thrí mhí" tugtha ag an údarás don chomhlacht "plean gnó cuimsitheach trí bliana a ullmhú". An bhfuil siad ag dul i dtreo eile anois? Bhí siad ag breathnú ar infheisteoir straitéiseach, ach b'fhéidir go bhfuil an...

Seanad: Adjournment Matters: Údarás na Gaeltachta (7 Feb 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim céad fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit tar éis oíche fhada, laethanta suimiúla agus neart díospóireachtaí suimiúla atá ag tarlú sa Teach eile faoi láthair. Táim an-bhuíoch dó as ucht an díospóireacht seo a ghlacadh. Ar ndóigh, ní hé seo an chéad uair againn an t-ábhar seo a plé, ábhar atá gar do chroí na beirte againn - Arramara Teoranta, comhlacht feamainne a bhí...

Seanad: Order of Business (7 Feb 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: The Leader needs to buy a new record.

Seanad: Order of Business (7 Feb 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ba mhaith liom tacú leis an méid a dúirt mo chomhghleacaí, an Seanadóir Cullinane, níos túisce maidir leis an díospóireacht a bhí againn aréir. Is cuma cén tuairim atá againn maidir leis an mBille a chuir an Seanad tríd aréir, caithfear a admháil go raibh caighdeán na díospóireachta go dona. Bhí an t-am a bhí leagtha ar leataobh don díospóireacht i bhfad ró-ghearr....

Seanad: Irish Bank Resolution Corporation Bill 2013: Committee and Remaining Stages (6 Feb 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Chuir mé ceist i nGaeilge níos túisce, ach b'fhéidir nár tháinig sé trasna. Baineann sé leis an leachtaitheoir. Could the Minister clarify for us the type of deal that has been done with KPMG? He indicated on Second Stage that negotiations have been ongoing with KPMG, that when he would have to instigate this Bill he had a deal done etc. but what will be the cost to the State? How...

Seanad: Irish Bank Resolution Corporation Bill 2013: Committee and Remaining Stages (6 Feb 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Tá mé ag ceapadh go bhfuilimíd tagaithe ag stáid stairiúil is stair na tíre agus go bhfuilimid ag feiceáil rud ag tarlú anocht atá thar a bheith náireach, ó thaobh iompar an Rialtais maidir leis an mBille atá sé ag brú tríd an Seanad agus leis na fiacha atá sé ag cur anuas ar chosmhuintir na tíre. Ba chóir go mbéadh náire. go deimhin, ar na Seanadóirí atá tar éis...
