Seanad: Order of Business (17 Jul 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Will the Leader call on the Minister, Deputy Reilly, to attend the House and tell us whether it is Government policy to run down very good facilities such as the community Hospital in Thurles so it can be taken over by private interests in the future? Is this the policy of the Government with regard to health care? Will the Government do something about keeping this hospital and other...

Seanad: Animal Health and Welfare Bill 2012: Committee Stage (Resumed) (11 Jul 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I move amendment No. 52: In page 48, before section 56, to insert the following new section: 56.—In proceedings for an offence under this Act an animal, animal product, animal feed or other thing, the owner of the animal shall be held responsible.". The legislation states: "In proceedings for an offence under this Act an animal, animal product, animal feed or other thing is presumed, unless...

Seanad: Animal Health and Welfare Bill 2012: Committee Stage (Resumed) (11 Jul 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: The Minister is stating the clause is not 100%. Perhaps, therefore, he might rethink before Report Stage because there are problems with it. Presuming, merely because an animal is on somebody's land, that the person owns it is a dangerous precedent to set. For example, if I want to get rid of an emaciated horse, I could leave it on the Minister's land and then warn the authorities. I do...

Seanad: Animal Health and Welfare Bill 2012: Committee Stage (Resumed) (11 Jul 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I acknowledge the argument the Minister is making. He and I are trying to achieve the same outcome. However, the comparison to a housing estate is not helpful because an animal on a housing estate can be moved, whereas the estate is in a fixed position. I am not fully convinced that the section as it stands will achieve the outcome both the Minister and I seek. However, I am willing to...

Go deimhin, is cúis imní é ar fud an oileáin os rud é nach dtuigeann sé aon teorainn.

Seanad: TB Eradication (10 Jul 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I thank the Minister of State for his comprehensive reply. It is interesting to note that the Border counties have a lower average incidence of TB. Perhaps that is the effect of policy in the Six Counties, or it might be due to entirely different causes. Does the Minister of State accept that TB levels in counties Kilkenny, Meath, Wexford, Wicklow, Waterford, Westmeath and even Dublin are...

Seanad: European Arrest Warrant (Application to Third Countries and Amendment) and Extradition (Amendment) Bill 2011: Second Stage (10 Jul 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Curim céad fáilte roimh an Aire. Maraon le daoine eile, ba cheart dom é a mholadh as chomh flaithiúil is atá sé lena chuid ama ag teacht go dtí an Teach.
