Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Pardon me, the Minister, Deputy Hogan.

Seanad: Order of Business (29 Sep 2011)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Where has he gone? We have been trying to contact him on the issue of Meitheal Forbartha na Gaeltacht. There has been much discussion about the closure of TalkTalk, a serious issue, and the loss of jobs. There are 130 jobs being lost in the Gaeltacht and for the past three weeks no one from the Department, Pobal and the company has contacted any of the workers who do not know where they...

Seanad: Company Closures: Motion (28 Sep 2011)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ba mhaith liom cuidiú leis an leasú. Is mian liom aird a tharraingt sa Teach arís ar chás Meitheal Forbartha na Gaeltachta. Baineann sé go díreach le ceist iomarcaíochta. I second the amendment and draw attention to the case of the workers in Meitheal Forbartha na Gaeltachta, MFG, which demonstrates an anomaly in the redundancy process. MFG was a company with primary funding from...

Seanad: Arts Plan: Statements (21 Sep 2011)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: No. We have been calling for this debate because it is an important matter. Bhí mé i láthair ag an ócáid ar a d'fhreastal an tAire i Halla na Cathrach i nGaillimh nuair a d'oscail sé suas an díospóireacht maidir leis na healaíona. Bhí an ócáid sin thar barr agus tá an-mholadh ag dul don Aire maidir leis an fís atá aige. Einstein said all religions, arts and sciences are...

Seanad: Arts Plan: Statements (21 Sep 2011)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: It makes no sense. With a minimal injection of funding into the arts sector, there is an accumulator effect and jobs are provided. These benefits and the international prestige gained far outweigh the investment. Sinn Féin is probably the only party that has stood against the austerity measures. It argues that money should not be given to the unguaranteed bondholders but invested in the...

Seanad: Arts Plan: Statements (21 Sep 2011)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim céad fáilte roimh an Aire. Not wanting to upstage my good friend, Senator Mac Conghail, it should be noted that Sinn Féin has been asking for the Minister to attend the House since my election. We are delighted he is present.

Seanad: Order of Business. (21 Sep 2011)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: The Leader should ask the Minister for Justice and Equality to attend the House to explain how our justice system works. How is it that a little old lady of 65 can be sent to prison indefinitely, while we still have bankers and investors who have not yet been imprisoned? This is because Teresa Tracey was affirming her right to keep trees on her land, whereas EirGrid and the ESB wanted to...

Seanad: Qualifications and Quality Assurance (Education and Training) Bill, 2011: Second Stage (Resumed) (20 Sep 2011)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire. Tacaíonn Sinn Féin leis an reachtaíocht seo, i bprionsabal, agus fáiltímid roimhe. Ar an céad dul síos, ba mhaith liom iarratas beag a dhéanamh maidir leis an ainm. Molaim go gcoinneofaí ainm breá Gaelach. Tá sé sin déanta go rialta, mar shampla i gcás Solas. Tá mé cinnte go bhfuil tuairimí ag an Rialtas faoi sin. Cad faoi focail ar nós...

Seanad: Qualifications and Quality Assurance (Education and Training) Bill, 2011: Second Stage (Resumed) (20 Sep 2011)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I recall the uproar in the summer when some well-known language schools in Dublin closed after fees from students had been accepted. Providers should have to show they are financially viable before being approved with the mark and support of the QQAI and this should be applicable to all higher education providers. Tacaíonn Sinn Féin leis an reachtaíocht seo i bprionsabal. Tréaslaíonn...

Seanad: Meitheal Forbartha na Gaeltachta (20 Sep 2011)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit. Tá beagán díomá orm nach bhfuil an tAire ó hÓgáin anseo leis an gceist seo a fhreagairt mar is ceist fíor-thábhachtachí i gcomhthéacs na Gaeltachta í agus sílim go bhfuil ceist le freagairt aige. Táim ag caint faoi Meitheal Forbartha na Gaeltachta, MFG. Go minic nuair a bhíonn jabanna á chailliúint ar fud na tíre, feiceann muid Airí...
