Seanad: Order of Business (26 Jun 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ba mhaith liom tacú leis an méid atá ráite ag mo chomhleacaí, an Seanadóir Barrett, maidir le Bille na Gaeltachta agus maidir leis an gceist faoi thoghchán Údarás na Gaeltachta. Tá an ceart ar fad aige faoin cheart atá ag muintir na Gaeltachta vóta a chaitheamh i dtoghchán Údarás na Gaeltachta agus tá súil agam go dtabharfar aghaidh ar sin sula dtiocfaidh an Bille ar aghaidh...

Seanad: Petroleum and Gas Infrastructure (21 Jun 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire. Tá mé thar a bheith buíoch de mar tuigim go bhfuil sé an-ghnóthach, ach is ceist iontach tábhachtach í seo. Tá mé thar a bheith buíoch den Aire as ucht an t-am a thógáil leis an ábhar seo a ghlacadh. Tá mé ag tagairt don chrith talún a tharla coicís ó shin amach ó chósta Mhuigheo. Buíochas le Dia, ní raibh aon tubaist mhór i gceist leis,...

Seanad: Petroleum and Gas Infrastructure (21 Jun 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Fáiltím roimhe sin. During the development of this project one argument made has been that many opinions have been based on the information provided by Shell E & P Ireland. I imagine the data for the decisions taken or the conclusions drawn by the Department are based on data from Shell E & P Ireland. While I will not cast any aspersion on the company, it is known, on foot of disasters...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ba mhaith liomsa pointe ghnó a árdú. Ní cosúil go bhfuil na cluasáin ag obair ar an taobh seo den Teach. Cuirim seo in iúil, díreach ar mhaithe le daoine atá ag iarraidh éisteacht leis an díospóireacht.

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Tá mé ag déanamh an phointe chéanna leis an Seanadóir Heffernan. Níl na cluasáin ag obair agus tá daoine ag déanamh a ndícheall éisteacht leis an ndíospóireacht.

Seanad: Credit Guarantee Bill 2012: Second Stage (21 Jun 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim céad fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit agus is deas an rud a bheith ag plé seo. Má bhreathnaíonn muid ar an bpictiúr níos leithne ó thaobh na heacnamaíochta de, tá sé soiléir, nuair a fheiceann muid go bhfuil fás beag ag teacht ar an GDP, go bhfuil an GNP ina steillbheatha. Cuid mhaith den rud atá ag tarlú sa tír seo ná nach bhfuil na gnóthaí beaga in ann feidhmiú....

Seanad: Order of Business (21 Jun 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Tacaím go hiomlán leis an méid atá ráite ag an Seanadóir Ó Domhnaill. An t-am deireannach a raibh Bille Gaeltachta againn ná 1956 agus táimid píosa fada ag fanacht leis an Bille seo, Bille na Gaeltachta. Bille tábhachtach é seo a bhaineann le todhcaí na Gaeltachta atá ag teacht os comhair an Tí, ach ní bhfuair muid cóip dó ach dhá lá ó shin, mar gheall ar moill le...

Seanad: Order of Business (21 Jun 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: It is important for the Minister to come here today to clarify what exactly he will do to resolve this serious issue. We want the turf cutters' rights upheld so that they can continue to cut turf in their own areas, as they have done traditionally. They are not interested in moving to different bogs, nor do they want compensation. They want to continue cutting turf in their home areas, as...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire arís agus muid ag plé an Bhille thábhachtaigh seo. Tógfaidh mé ar bord an méid atá ráite aige agus glacaim leis go bhfuil sé le gach dea-mhéin ag glacadh leis an moladh a bhí déanta againn. I applaud the Minister for having the foresight to consider the point made by Sinn Féin that there was a potential loophole in the legislation. It is...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I would like to allow a minute of my time to Senator Walsh as he has a point to make.

Seanad: Seanad Reform: Motion (20 Jun 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ba mhaith liom fáilte a chur roimh an díospóireacht seo agus ba mhaith liom a rá go raibh muide réidh don dióspóireacht seo, pé lá a thiocfadh sé. An fáth nach raibh muid sa Chamber nuair a bhí cuid den plé á dhéanamh ná go raibh muid ag éisteacht go cúramach leis san oifig. I welcome this debate. I also welcome the silence of my colleagues on the other side of the House.

Seanad: Seanad Reform: Motion (20 Jun 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: What it says to us is that the abolition of the Seanad is Government policy and they all agree with it. Therefore, they are not wasting our time in toeing the party line and repeating ad nauseam what is already known as Government policy.
