Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: That is a question of volunteerism.

Seanad: Adjournment Matters: Employment Support Schemes (18 Dec 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Go raibh maith agat, a Chathaoirligh, agus fearaim céad fáilte roimh an Aire. Tá mé thar a bheith buíoch di as teacht isteach leis an gceist seo a fhreagairt. The Minister will be aware of concerns raised previously about JobBridge. We believe it is stopping the provision of real jobs and is leading to exploitation of workers. There are many ludicrous examples of internships which...

Seanad: Credit Institutions (Stabilisation) Act 2010: Motion (18 Dec 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: D'airigh muid go leor leithscéalta ó Sheanadóirí an Rialtais. B'fhéidir gur cheart dóibh leithscéalta a ghabháil arís mar gheall go bhfuil siad ag tacú leis an rún seo, mar ní amhlaidh a rinne siad nuair a bhí siad sa bhFreasúra. Is léiriú eile é seo ar na U-casachaí breátha atá Seanadóirí an Rialtais ag déanamh inniu sa Seanad. Two years ago Fianna Fáil, at the...

Seanad: Credit Institutions (Stabilisation) Act 2010: Motion (18 Dec 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: The last Government's banking policy landed us in this mess. Why does the Government that came to power on a so-called democratic revolution continue the same policy? Ba chóir don Seanad cur i gcoinne na reachtaíochta seo. Mar a fheicimid, níl an chreidiúint ag dul go dtí na gnóthaí agus níl an Rialtas ag déanamh aon rud le sin a chur ina cheart. Droch reachtaíocht atá ann agus...

Seanad: Social Welfare Bill 2012: Second Stage (Resumed) (18 Dec 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: On a point of order, there were Senators who did not have the opportunity to contribute to the debate because the time allocated for it had been exhausted. The Minister has now exhausted her time and the House is due to debate another matter. It is very unfair that she should be allowed to make a further lengthy contribution when others-----

Seanad: Social Welfare Bill 2012: Second Stage (Resumed) (18 Dec 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I want to raise a point of order. As I said on the Order of Business earlier, every Senator who wants to speak on Second Stage should be given time to do this. It is very unfair that on such an important Bill some Senators have been excluded from the Second Stage debate. It is the one issue we have all been asked to raise. Will the Leader extend the time for this debate?

Seanad: Europol Bill 2012: Committee Stage (18 Dec 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ba mhaith liom buíochas a ghabháil leis an Aire as ucht an reachtaíocht seo a thabhairt os comhair an tSeanaid. I bprionsabail, tá Sinn Féin i fábhar an Bhille seo agus tugaimid tacaíocht dó. I thank the Minister for introducing the Bill. In general, Sinn Féin is in favour of the Bill because, as the Minister said, crime knows no frontiers, be it a county boundary, a state...

Seanad: Europol Bill 2012: Committee Stage (18 Dec 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: -----or any border whatsoever. It is important, and we support any co-operation that seeks to ensure that anybody perpetrating a crime, whether that be within or outside the State, is brought to justice and all of the parties involved are given due process. The issues we raised were with regard to data protection and the civil liberties of each of the people involved in the situation. We...

Seanad: Europol Bill 2012: Committee Stage (18 Dec 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I move amendment No. 9: In page 9, subsection (1), line 29, after ?crime? to insert the following:?which shall be listed by the Minister by way of guidelines no later than 30 days after the enactment of this Bill?.This amendment provides clarity on the designation of competent authorities and the context in which they are entitled to exchange information. We believe guidelines are needed to...

Seanad: Europol Bill 2012: Committee Stage (18 Dec 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I thank the Minister for his comprehensive rehearsal of the annexe and the competences outlined therein. Although our amendment makes a suggestion about the designated competent authorities and the contexts in which they are entitled to exchange information, I take on board his comments and withdraw the amendment.

Seanad: Europol Bill 2012: Committee Stage (18 Dec 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I move amendment No. 10: In page 10, subsection (3), line 11, to delete ?30 days? and substitute ?14 days?.This amendment seeks to shorten the time within which national authorities would be required to forward a request from an individual as to whether Europol is handling information relating to him or her. We believe the process needs not only to be made more effective but also to be...

Seanad: Europol Bill 2012: Committee Stage (18 Dec 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I move amendment No. 4: In page 6, before section 7, to insert the following new section:?7.?(1) The Garda Commissioner shall ensure external human rights auditing of all liaison officers training materials. (2) The Garda Commissioner shall ensure all liaison officers appointed will undergo human rights training before taking up positions.?.

Seanad: Europol Bill 2012: Committee Stage (18 Dec 2012)

Seanad: Europol Bill 2012: Committee Stage (18 Dec 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I move amendment No. 7: In page 8, subsection (2), line 25, to delete ?is satisfied? and substitute ?has received a guarantee?.The purpose of this amendment is to strengthen section 9. Rather than accepting assurance from Europol that only the appropriate authorities will have access to information, the Government would receive a guarantee which would provide for a stronger position legally.

Seanad: Europol Bill 2012: Committee Stage (18 Dec 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I move amendment No. 8: In page 8, subsection (1), line 34, after ?supplemented,? to insert ?or deleted,?.This amendment is to ensure clarification of the effect of the section in order that it would be clear legislatively that where the Europol information system had incorrect information, it would not only be the case that it could be supplemented but also could be deleted. This is...
