Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Tá mé. Tá mé ag caint faoi na costais ón Aire, mar atá luaite in alt 2. Níl míniú sách soiléir tugtha ag an Aire faoi na costais a bhaineann leis an díscríobh seo. Cén chostas a bhéas ag baint leis an aistriú seo? Ba chóir go mbéadh muid in ann fáil amach ó thaobh leachtú IBRC céard atá seo ag dul a chosaint.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Mobility and Motorised Transport Allowances: Discussion (6 Feb 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I thank the Minister of State for her response. I have been trying to do the maths here while we have been discussing this and I contend that the Department is over-egging the situation with its figures. We have an Irish term - scéal chailleach an uafáis - and I think we have been given that story with the figures, because based on them, the maths do not seem to add up . On...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Mobility and Motorised Transport Allowances: Discussion (6 Feb 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: There are 300 on this scheme per year, receiving €1.3 million. If we divide €1.3 million by 300, we get €4,333 per individual on average. If we multiply that by the 80,950 the Minister of State estimates are eligible, this amounts to €82 million. The figures provided to us were €200 million and €100 million, but we are still short of that - at...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Mobility and Motorised Transport Allowances: Discussion (6 Feb 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim fáilte roimh na hAirí. Tá a fhios agam go bhfuil siad gnóthach agus is mór an onóir dúinn gur tháínig siad isteach leis an bhfoireann ar fad. To follow on from that discussion, would it be possible for the committee to get a breakdown of those Estimates the Minister has just announced? We have been going through things in some detail here...

Seanad: Garda Resources: Motion (6 Feb 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire. Tá áthas orm a bheith in ann labhairt ar an rún seo mar tá an t-ábhar seo i mbéal an phobail agus thar a bheith tábhachtach. The closure of Garda stations and the reductions in time are causing considerable concern from Mizen Head to Malin Head, and from Connemara to Stepaside. I raised this issue in the House only a week or two ago in response to the...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: On a point of order, if the Leader checks the record he will see that what I actually asked for was a debate on the dismantling of the community and voluntary infrastructure and he has not responded to that. He might respond to that question.

Seanad: Criminal Justice (Spent Convictions) Bill 2012: Report Stage (5 Feb 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I move amendment No. 3: In page 4, to delete lines 2 to 38 and substitute the following: ? ?relevant custodial sentence?, in relation to a person convicted of an offence, means a sentence or sentences of imprisonment for a term of 48 months or less imposed by a court on the person in respect of the offence (whether or not a fine is also imposed on the person in respect of the offence) and...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ba mhaith liomsa, chomh maith, buíochas a ghabháil leis an Aire as ucht éisteacht chruinn a thabhairt dúinn ar na céimeanna éagsúla den mBille.

I welcome his comments and I am sure that he will, if he sees a need during the...

Seanad: Criminal Justice (Spent Convictions) Bill 2012: Report Stage (5 Feb 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim céad fáilte roimh an Aire. Go ginearálta, táimid i bhfábhar an Bhille seo agus táimid ag teacht, don chuid is mó, leis atá an Seanadóir van Turnhout ag cur chun cinn, ach amháín go bhfuil muid ag caint faoi 48 mí, seachas 12 mí. We are recommending, very much in line with what Senator van Turnhout stated-----

Seanad: Criminal Justice (Spent Convictions) Bill 2012: Report Stage (5 Feb 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I formally second the amendment. We have put forward a number of amendments which are very much in line with what Senator van Turnhout has outlined. One of our amendments suggests that lines 31 to 33 on page 5 of the Bill be deleted and replaced with the following formation, namely, "(a) of imprisonment for a term of more than 48 months, irrespective of whether that sentence is suspended...
