Seanad: Ombudsman (Amendment) Bill 2008: Second Stage (26 Sep 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I stand corrected.

Seanad: Ombudsman (Amendment) Bill 2008: Second Stage (26 Sep 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I stand corrected; we will not argue over it. We question the proposition that publicly-funded, non-State bodies be added to the list of bodies under the Ombudsman's office in an ad hoc fashion. If this is to be done, then there is a need for detailed criteria, as mentioned by Senators Bacik and Keane, to determine their inclusion. There is a wide variety of these bodies and they serve...

Seanad: Ombudsman (Amendment) Bill 2008: Second Stage (26 Sep 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cad faoin Ghaeilge?

Seanad: Order of Business (26 Sep 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Thug mé faoi deara sa liosta den reachtaíocht atá le plé, faighte an tseachtain seo caite, go bhfuil an Bille iascaireachta curtha siar. Is ábhar imní dom é sin agus ba mhaith liom aird a tharraingt ar sin. I draw attention to the fact that on the legislative agenda received last week the fisheries Bill has once again been deferred. I have raised the issue on a number of occasions,...

Seanad: Adjournment Matters: Asylum Seeker Accommodation (20 Sep 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Caithfidh mé a rá go bhfuil an-díomá orm leis an bhfreagra. Is dóigh liom go bhfuil U-turn iomlán déanta ag an Aire ar an seasamh a bhí aige sular toghadh é an bhliain seo caite. Bhí sé an-cháinteach faoin gcóras ag an am sin - bhí sé ag rá a mhalairt de rudaí agus atá á rá anois. While in opposition, the Minister, Deputy Alan Shatter, expressed views diametrically...

Seanad: Adjournment Matters: Asylum Seeker Accommodation (20 Sep 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ba mhaith liom fáilte a chur roimh an Aire Stáit arís. Is breá an rud é go bhfuilimid in ann bheith ag Gaeilgeoireacht linn féin arís. Is mian liom fáilte a chur roimh an bheirt atá sa Ghailearaí romham. Tá siad ina gcónaí in ionad dídine Lisbrook i nGaillimh - ionad cóiríochta díreach, mar a deirtear. I welcome my guests from the Lisbrook direct provision centre. I have...

Seanad: Irish Water and Related Reforms: Statements (Resumed) (20 Sep 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Between 2007 and 2011, Sinn Féin delivered in the Department for Regional Development. It provided a higher quality of drinking water than ever before, reversed any proposed introduction of a domestic household water charge and ruled out privatisation of these services now or in the future. Sinn Féin secured central government funding to not only maintain the levels of service but to...

Seanad: Irish Water and Related Reforms: Statements (Resumed) (20 Sep 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Tá céad fáilte roimh an Aire agus gabhaim mo leithscéal nach raibh mé anseo fad is a bhí sé ag tabhairt a óráide féin. Tá súil agam gur comhtharlúint é go raibh toscaireacht istigh againn ón tSín nuair atáimid ag caint ar phríobháidiú an chórais uisce. Tá mé cinnte gurb ea agus nach raibh aon uisce faoi thalamh i gceist. Níl aon dabht ach gur ceist iontach...

Seanad: Order of Business (20 Sep 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: The speculation has been correct in the past.

Seanad: Order of Business (20 Sep 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ba mhaith liom a mheabhrú do mo chomh-Sheanadóirí go bhfuil cur i láthair inniu againn san AV room. I remind my fellow Senators that we have a presentation today in the AV Room from the residents of the direct provision centre in Lisbrook in Galway, which is under threat of closure, and I invite Members to come along and hear their side of the story. Any Member travelling throughout...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: What about tackling county council pollution? What is the Labour Party doing about it?

Seanad: Order of Business (19 Sep 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ba mhaith liom tacú leis an méid a bhí le rá ag an Seanadóir Zappone maidir le cúrsaí eacnamaíochta. Ní hé an tOllamh Paul Krugman amháin atá ag cur an chineáil sin comhairle orainn. Senator Zappone referred to a book by Paul Krugman. I wish to refer to a recently published report by the United Nations Conference on Trade and...

Seanad: Order of Business (17 Jul 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ba mhaith liom i dtosach báire tacú leis an leasú ar an Riar Oibre atá molta ag mo chomhleacaí, an Seanadóir David Cullinane, maidir le díospóireacht faoi chúrsaí bochtaineachta. Ba mhaith liom aontú freisin leis an méid atá ráite ag an Seanadóir Ó Domhnaill maidir leis an chinsireacht atá á dhéanamh ar gharraíodóir as Tír Chonaill atá ag labhairt amach i gcoinne an...
