Seanad: Energy (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2011: Second Stage (8 Feb 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Tá fáilte roimh an Aire don Teach. Tá an Bille seo teicniúil go leor agus cuirimid fáilte roimhe agus roimh na leasuithe a ghlac an tAire ar bord. Pointe beag a thógfaidh mé maidir leis na comhlachtaí leath-Stáit atá againn faoi láthair, áfach, ná go raibh ainmneacha Gaelacha againn ach feicim go bhfuilimid ag dul i dtreo ainmneacha atá níos Gallda ar nós Electric Ireland...

Seanad: Order of Business. (7 Feb 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ba mhaith liom aontú leis an méid a dúirt na Seanadóirí Healy Eames agus Mullins maidir le cás Aerfort na Gaillimhe. Mar eolas dóibh, tá mé tar éis rún a chur ar aghaidh maidir leis an aerfort. B'fhéidir gur féidir liom an ábhar seo a phlé ar an Athló amárach. Beidh mé sásta mo chuid ama a roinnt leo, más mian leo agus má ghlacann an Chathaoirleach leis.

Seanad: Order of Business. (7 Feb 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Tá an cás seo iontach tábhachtach. On Galway Airport, I hope a matter I submitted for discussion on the Adjournment tomorrow will be given favourable consideration. I am willing to share time in any such discussion. When the Seanad debated operational expenditure, OPEX, grants for airports I expressed my concern to the Minister for Transport that a cut in the grant to Galway Airport...

Seanad: Priorities in Foreign Affairs: Statements (2 Feb 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Tánaiste. The Tánaiste referred earlier to the constitutional convention. It would be remiss of us not ask the Tánaiste when here if he concurs with the Taoiseach's view of the future of the Seanad or if he believes the future of the Seanad should be discussed as part of the constitutional convention and that the decisions be made afterwards.

Seanad: Priorities in Foreign Affairs: Statements (2 Feb 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: It might be if we all have to emigrate.

Seanad: Health Services (2 Feb 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim céad fáilte roimh an Aire agus gabhaim buíochas leis as teacht isteach le díriú ar an gceist seo. Ceist bheag í i gcomhthéacs na tíre í ach ceist mhór í i gcomhthéacs an phobail as a dtagaim. I raise the issue of the public health nursing service in Connemara in light of the fact that we have heard that the public health nurse based in Roundstone who is due to retire will...

Seanad: Health Services (2 Feb 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I am concerned about the position in terms of the answer I have got from the Minister of State. The public health nurse in Clifden under the primary care team is under pressure as matters stand and I would question if she is in a position to also cover this area. The Minister of State said the level of locum cover would be provided in the wider context of Connemara. Will she clarify what...

Seanad: Health Services (2 Feb 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: The Minister of State said: "In the wider context of Connemara, a level of locum cover will be provided to ensure that essential public health nursing services are maintained throughout the area." What does that mean?

Seanad: Order of Business (2 Feb 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ba mhaith liom tréaslú leis na mílte gnáthdhaoine - daltaí, tuismitheoirí agus múinteoirí - a tháinig aníos go Teach Laighin aréir chun léirsiú i gcoinne na ciorruithe oideachais. Ba mhaith liom impí ar lucht an Fhreasúra, go háirithe iad siúd a bhfuil aon tionchar acu ar an Aire Oideachais agus Scileanna, cur ina loighe ar an Aire go dteastaíonn uathu aird a tharraingt ar...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Hear, hear.

Seanad: Order of Business (1 Feb 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ní hé an reifreann seo an t-aon reifreann a raibh caint air le linn an deireadh seachtaine. Go deimhin, bhí díospóireacht ag tosnú maidir le reifreann ó thaobh aontacht na hÉireann chomh maith. The potential referendum on the new EU treaty is not the only referendum that has been discussed in the broader public domain recently. Senator Paul Bradford referred to the possibility of a...
