Seanad: Gaeltacht Bill 2012: Committee Stage (Resumed) (4 Jul 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim fáilte ar ais roimh an Aire Stáit. Cuireann a bhfuil ráite ag an Aire Stáit go dtí seo, maidir leis an bpróiseas daonlathach ins na Tithe seo, beagáinín imní orm. Ó thaobh an tsoiléiriú atá á lorg ag Fianna Fáil maidir leis an gceist seo, níl aon locht againn per se go ndéanfaí soiléiriu ar cén chomhchoiste atá i gceist, ach tá an t-Aire Stáit féin tar éis a...

Seanad: Gaeltacht Bill 2012: Committee Stage (Resumed) (4 Jul 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Hear, hear. Tá an ceart ar fad ag an Seanadóir.

Seanad: Gaeltacht Bill 2012: Committee Stage (Resumed) (4 Jul 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Not when non-Gaeltacht people elect those people on behalf of people from the Gaeltacht. That is the point but the Senator does not understand it.

Seanad: Gaeltacht Bill 2012: Committee Stage (Resumed) (4 Jul 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Tá pointe tábhachtach ardaithe ag an Seanadóir Ó Domhnaill. Tá mé ag labhairt i dtreo leasú Uimh. 7, a mholann go gcuirfear an focal "comharchumann" isteach sa Bhille. B'fhéidir gur pointe dlí é seo. B'fhéidir go bhfuil an Aire Stáit in ann é a shoiléiriú. Is comharchumainn iad cuid mhaith de na heagrais phobal Gaeltachta atá ag feidhmiú taobh istigh de na 19 ceantar atá...

Seanad: Gaeltacht Bill 2012: Committee Stage (Resumed) (4 Jul 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Glacaim leis go bhfuil leasuithe Uimh. 6, 7 agus 8 á phlé le chéile. Ba mhaith liom ceist a ardú faoi leasú Uimh. 8, atá á moladh ag an Aire Stáit. Molann an leasú go gcuirfear an focal "agus" in áit an focal "nó". Má ghlactar leis an leasú, is é an sainmhíniú a bheidh ar "eagraíocht" ná "comhlacht corpraithe (cibé acu ilchorparáid nó corparáid aonair é) nó...

Seanad: Rent Supplements: Motion (4 Jul 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I move: ''That Seanad Éireann notes that: — the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, and the European Social Charter recognises the right to housing as part of the right to an adequate standard of living; — there are 94,000 people in receipt of rent supplement in this State; — there are 100,000 people on waiting...

Seanad: Rent Supplements: Motion (4 Jul 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Yes.

Seanad: Rent Supplements: Motion (4 Jul 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: In fairness, we said the opposite.

Seanad: Rent Supplements: Motion (4 Jul 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: The Minister should have listened to what we said. We said the opposite.

Seanad: Rent Supplements: Motion (4 Jul 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: It is not what we saying at all.

Seanad: Rent Supplements: Motion (4 Jul 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Go raibh maith agat. Glacaim buíochas le chuile duine de na Seanadóirí a labhair agus leis an Aire as teacht. The contribution made by the Minister of State, Deputy O'Sullivan, is probably one of the most disappointing, in terms of it missing the main issue, I have heard from a Minister in a debate in this Chamber. There is a short-term and long-term issue involved. The short-term issue...

Seanad: Rent Supplements: Motion (4 Jul 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Yes. The Minister of State said that this is allowed in certain circumstances.

Seanad: Rent Supplements: Motion (4 Jul 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Senator Daly stated that some tenants are in receipt of rent supplement, the amount of which is greater than the rent due on the home, and that these people are keeping the extra money. That is difficult to do because landlords are required to declare on a specific form the amount of rent being paid and a CWO will not pay more than the amount stated. If the Senator has evidence of that...

Seanad: Rent Supplements: Motion (4 Jul 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I thank the Acting Chairman. He should be in the Chair more often.

Seanad: Schools Building Programme (4 Jul 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ba mhaith liom mo chuid ama a roinnt, trí nóiméad dom féin agus nóiméad amháin don Seanadóir Michael Mullins, más feidir.

Seanad: Schools Building Programme (4 Jul 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim fáilte arís roimh an Aire. Baineann seo le Scoil Naomh Caitríona in Eachraim, Contae na Gaillimhe, scoil ar thug mé cuairt uirthi an tseachtain seo caite. I raise the issue of St. Catherine's national school in Aughrim, County Galway. This is a small school in a rural area just outside Ballinasloe. The school has been subject to a number of staffing cutbacks in recent years but...

Seanad: Schools Building Programme (4 Jul 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Go raibh maith agat a Aire Stáit. The reply is quite disappointing and does not really answer the question of whether the Minister deems the school to be "fit for purpose". This is the important phrase. I understand from raising other issues for other schools about the need to build schools in areas where none is available but I do not think this gives the Government the excuse not to...

Seanad: Gaeltacht Bill 2012: Committee Stage (28 Jun 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I move amendment No. 1: In page 6, subsection (2), lines 16 to 20, to delete all words from and including "Act," in line 16 down to and including "provisions" in line 20 and substitute the following: "Act comes into operation six months following the day the Act is passed". Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire Stáit agus leis an Roinn mar gheall gur cuireadh siar Céim an Choiste den Bhille toisc...

Seanad: Gaeltacht Bill 2012: Committee Stage (28 Jun 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ní dhéanfaidh mé athrá ar an méid a dúirt mé. Fáiltím roimh an tacaíocht theicniúil ansin. Gan dabht tá sé fíorthábhachtach go mbeadh an córas aistriúcháin sa Teach ag feidhmiú agus molaim na Seanadóirí a bhíonn ag úsáid an chórais sin agus molaim na haistritheoirí agus lucht teicniúla a chuireann ar fáil é. Bhí mé ag moladh go gcuirfear teorainn ama leis an...

Seanad: Gaeltacht Bill 2012: Committee Stage (28 Jun 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire Stáit as an soiléiriú sin. Ach an oiread leis an Aire Stáit, sílim go raibh sé tábhachtach gur cuireadh an am breise ar fáil le haghaidh Céim an Choiste. Seo an Bille is tábhachtaí do mhuintir na Gaeltachta a bhí ann le 56 bliain agus sin an fáth go bhfuil an oiread sin leasuithe istigh. Glacaim leis an méid atá ráite ag an Aire Stáit....
