Seanad: Ábhair Oidí (9 Feb 2012)

The Minister...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: ----- and what he meant by it. I call for a debate on the money spent on policing the protests at Bellanaboy so that we can ask questions and we can possibly ask for an investigation or inquiry into how the Garda handled allegations of assault made by protesters there.

Seanad: Investment in Education: Motion (8 Feb 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit. Ní hé seo an chéad uair dúinn na hábhair seo a phlé agus ní bheidh sé an uair dheireanach. Tacaím le cuid mhaith den mhéid a dúirt an Seanadóir Healy Eames maidir leis na scoileanna beaga i gConamara. Ní aontaím le gach rud a dúirt sí.

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I did not say Senator D'Arcy criticised them. I said "He should have read all of them". Had we taken that €250 million and put it into education there would be no need for any of these cuts.
