Seanad: Leibhéal Foirne Scoileanna (9 May 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Táimid ag leanúint leis an téama céanna a bhí againn an tseachtain seo caite agus tá mé thar a bheith buíoch don Aire Stáit as ucht teacht isteach. Táimid fós ag caint faoi na scoileanna beaga tuaithe agus an próiseas achomhairc a bhí ann mar gheall gur athraíodh na huimhreacha sa cháinfhaisnéis. Tá roinnt scoileanna tar éis iarraidh orm an cheist seo a chur maidir leis an...

Seanad: Leibhéal Foirne Scoileanna (9 May 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Is mór an faoiseamh é a chloisteáil go bhfuil triúr de na daoine a bhí ar an gcoiste líofa sa Ghaeilge. An féidir leis an Aire Stáit tuairim a thabhairt maidir le líon na n-iarratas a bhí trí Ghaeilge agus cé mhéad acu a aistríodh? Is there any indication how many of the 367 school submitted appeals as Gaeilge and how many had to be translated?

Seanad: Order of Business (2 May 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Go raibh míle maith agat. Tréaslaím leis an Aire Leanaí agus Gnóthaí Óige as ucht an cheapacháin a rinneadh don choiste ghníomhaíochta maidir le luath-oideachas san earnáil oideachais. I commend the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, Deputy Frances Fitzgerald, for announcing the early years expert advisory group. This is a very important step forward. I note the expertise...

Seanad: Coimheas Dalta-Múinteoir (1 May 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim céad fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit. Níl locht ar bith agam ar an Aire Stáit, ach os rud é go raibh an tAire Oideachais agus Scileanna anseo níos túisce, tá díomá orm nach raibh sé ábalta fanacht don díospóireacht seo. Táim ag ardú cás Scoil Náisiúnta Mhuire, an Tuairín agus tá a fhios agam go bhfuil eolas ag an Aire Stáit ar an scoil seo. Tá a fhios agam freisin...

Seanad: Coimheas Dalta-Múinteoir (1 May 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Tá. Níl aon ghlacadh agam le freagra an Aire Stáit, i ndáirire. Tá an pointe a rinne mé fós ag seasamh. Tá titim bliana, beirt dhalta, i gceist i gcás scoil an Tuairin. Tá na figiúirí ag dul ag ardú agus níl a fhios agam ar tógadh sin san áireamh. I do not know if the appeals board took into consideration that although there will be an increase in enrolment, it is not up to...

Seanad: Report of Advisory Group to the Forum on Patronage and Pluralism in the Primary Sector: Statements, Questions and Answers (1 May 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Fáiltím roimh na tagairtí a rinne mo chomhghleacaí, an Seanadóir Harte, ó thaobh moladh a thabhairt don Aire Oideachais ó Thuaidh, agus an ceart ar fad aige. An rud is annamh is iontach. Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire. Táimid thar a bheith buíoch dó as teacht isteach sa Teach. Fáiltíonn Sinn Féin, go ginearálta, roimh an athchóiriú seo ar an gcóras oideachais. Dar linn,...

Seanad: Order of Business (1 May 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ba mhaith liom mo chomhghairdeas a dhéanamh le hoibrithe na tíre ar an lá seo, lá de cheiliúradh agus de chomóradh ar an obair mhaith a dhéantar ar fud na tíre. I also wish to join in the celebrations of international labour day, a day on which one remembers all workers worldwide, celebrates all their achievements and tries to bring to mind all the difficulties they experience. I...

Seanad: Order of Business (1 May 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: However, if there is a practice of fees being paid for the children of staff members as a perk of working for such institutions, Members need to know about it. They need to know its scale and to which staff members it applies. Moreover, they need to know the reason it is happening and what is the rationale at a time when-----

Seanad: Order of Business (1 May 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: The Minister should come into the Seanad for a debate. I note there is considerable expertise among Members in respect of the third level sector and it would be important to discuss third level funding. There should be debate on how much State funding is going into the sector and how much of it is being used to pay for fees for children of the staff and so on. There also should be debate...
