Seanad: Order of Business. (26 Jul 2011)

Seanad: Order of Business (21 Jul 2011)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ach an oiread le Seanadóirí eile, ba mhaith liom buíochas a ghabháil leis an Cheannaire as an díospóireacht a bhí ann inné. An t-aon rud go bhféadfaí a rá faoi ná gurb é a laghad a locht. Bhí an format go maith, d'oibrigh sé go maith agus bhí deis cainte ag go leor daoine. B'fhéidir go mbeadh sé úsáideach dá mba fhéidir ceisteanna breise a chur. Bheadh sé...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Does the Minister have any control over individual transferable quotas, ITQs?

Seanad: Agriculture and Fisheries: Statements, Questions and Answers (20 Jul 2011)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: The issue raised by Senator Ó Domhnaill is ironic. We are speaking about the privatisation of the fishing industry on a Europe-wide basis whereas over many years the Government in which he was involved privatised Irish quotas. Will the Minister examine this issue as it is within his remit? A total of 87% of the Irish quota is fished by 23 boats, mainly based in County Donegal as it...

Seanad: Agriculture and Fisheries: Statements, Questions and Answers (20 Jul 2011)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I share the concerns about the land reclamation measure in the environment Bill. However, my question relates to Leader funding. The previous Minister, Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív, sent applicants for Leader funding around the houses in seeking matching funding. Can the Minister clarify that there will be matching funding so that all the money available from Europe for Leader programmes will be...

Seanad: Order of Business (20 Jul 2011)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Gabhaim buíochas leis na Seanadóirí ar fad. D'airigh mé uaim iad le cúpla seachtain ach is deas an rud a bheith ar ais ina measc. Tá mé thar a bheith buíoch dóibh as na focail deasa a bhí le rá acu. I thank Members for their kind words. I will send their good wishes to Mali and to the children. We have had a good deal of negative discussion on the area of health but I want to...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Hear, hear.

Seanad: Order of Business (5 Jul 2011)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I bhfianaise thuarascáil an Choimisinéir Teanga ar maidin, a léirigh go bhfuil cuid mhaith de na Ranna Stáit ann nach bhfuil ag comhlíonadh a gcuid dualgas faoi Acht na dTeangacha Oifigiúla, ba mhaith liom go dtiocfadh an tAire Stáit sa Roinn Ealaíon, Oidhreachta agus Gaeltachta isteach anseo le tuairisc a thabhairt dúinn ar céard atá i gceist aige agus ag an Rialtas seo a...

Seanad: Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2011: Second Stage (30 Jun 2011)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire go dtí an Teach arís. Tá sé gnóthach go maith leis a chuid reachtaíocht. Bail ó Dhia air. The Minister is very welcome. I welcome the chance to speak in this debate. Many metaphors have been used to describe the legislation before us, but I would like to compare it to a smorgasbord of legislation. It covers 40 Acts with 15 Parts. Unfortunately, the...

Seanad: Whistleblower Legislation: Motion (29 Jun 2011)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Fágaimid an focal deireannach ag na mná i gcónaí. Tá an-áthas orm labhairt ar an rún seo agus tréaslaím leis an Seanadóir Mullen faoin rún a thabhairt chun cinn. Tá sé fíor thábhachtach. Is rud é seo a raibh Sinn Féin á lorg le fada an lá agus a bhfuilimid fós á éileamh. Tacaímid, go ginearálta, leis an rún féin agus leis na cásanna atá curtha chun cinn ó gach...

Seanad: Whistleblower Legislation: Motion (29 Jun 2011)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ceart go leor. Ba mhaith liom a lua, ar aon chuma, go dteagaim leis an méid atá sa leasú agus an brí atá aige. Ba cheart go dtógfar ar bord an cineál imní atá orainn. Chuir muid an leasú seo chun cinn chun aird a tharraingt ar cúpla réimse eile den ábhar seo gur gá plé agus díospóireacht a dhéanamh fúthu. B'fhéidir nach bhfuil aon tagairt déanta ar chúrsaí...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Déanfaidh mé é sin gan dabht.

Seanad: Whistleblower Legislation: Motion (29 Jun 2011)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ní fhaca mé an Chathaoir ag fógairt go raibh an méid sin ama imithe.

Seanad: Social Welfare and Pensions Bill 2011: Committee and Remaining Stages (28 Jun 2011)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: We welcome the restoration of the minimum wage, which was Sinn Féin's policy. However, the people who will be caught in the net are those who will also be subject to JLC reviews. On Senator Paul Bradford's point on employers, Sinn Féin would also like to support them, but we must at all times be cognisant of the rights of employees. Contrary to the Senator's experience, we are aware of...

Seanad: Social Welfare and Pensions Bill 2011: Committee and Remaining Stages (28 Jun 2011)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I move amendment No. 5: In page 6, before section 4, to insert the following new section: 4.—Twelve months following the passage of the Act the Minister shall report to the Dáil on the impact of its operations including— (a) the number of new jobs created; (b) wage trends over the period with particular attention to the scale of wage reductions to the €356 level; and (c) the number of...
