Seanad: Order of Business (8 Jun 2011)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ba mhaith liom dhá cheist a ardú le Ceannaire an Tí a bhaineann le cúrsaí tuaithe go bunúsach. Maidir leis an clár taistil tuaithe, nó rural transport programme, tá ráflaí sa timpealleacht go mb'fhéidir go mbeidh deireadh á chur leis an gclár sin. Tá sin ag cur an-imní ar mhuintir na tuaithe mar gheall ar an tseirbhís iontach a thugann an clár sin. Bheadh sé thar cionn...

Seanad: Order of Business (8 Jun 2011)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Tréaslaím leis an Aire as ucht an cinneadh a rinne sé inné dul siar ar an gearradh siar a bhí déanta ag an Rialtas roimhe. I commend the Minister on reversing the cut introduced by the previous Government to funding for regional airports. If the Minister were to come to the House we could put the case for Galway Airport in a vehement fashion so that he might help it to come to a...

Seanad: Order of Business (7 Jun 2011)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ba mhaith liom mo bhuíochas a ghabháil le Ceannaire an Tí as ucht chomh sciobtha agus a tugadh chun cinn an díospóireacht maidir le cúrsaí Gaeilge agus Gaeltachta. Ag tagairt don phointe a rinne mo chomhleacaí, an Seanadóir Cullinane, tá sé fíor thábhachtach go dtabharfar am cuí d'ionadaithe Shinn Féin le labhairt ag an díospóireacht sin, mar tá cuid mhaith ceisteanna, mar...

Seanad: Community Employment Schemes (2 Jun 2011)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire go dtí an tSeanaid. Tá mé thar a bheith buíoch as an t-am a thógáil, mar tuigim go maith go bhfuil sí an-chruógach na laethanta seo. Tá fáilte faoi leith roimh na cuairteoirí óga sa Ghailearaí go dtí an tSeanaid tráthnóna. I welcome the Minister and thank her for taking the time out of her busy schedule to talk about an important issue relating...

Seanad: Community Employment Schemes (2 Jun 2011)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: The Minister has mentioned she has no proposals to change the arrangements. I am bold enough to ask her to take on board the proposals I have made in this Chamber, namely, to look at the Pobal measuring system in order to identify areas of deprivation and perhaps subsequently change the terms of reference regarding extensions for a further year which are allowed only as part of the part-time...

Seanad: Order of Business (2 Jun 2011)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I dtosach báire, ba mhaith liom go n-iarrfaí ar an bPríomh Aoire nó ar an Taoiseach féin teacht go dtí an Teach agus soiléiriú a thabhart dúinn maidir le comhchoiste Oireachtais ar chúrsaí Gaeilge agus Gaeltachta. An mbeidh a leithéid ann agus an mbeidh daoine á gceapadh air, nó an bhfuil sé caite i dtraipisí? Chomh maith leis sin, ba mhaith liom tacú leis an moladh a rinne...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I move amendment No. 1 to amendment No. 1: After "years" in the last line to add the following: "— calls on the Government to reinstate funding for Regional Airports in the form of the Airport Management Operation Expenditure Subvention (OPEX), as regional airports are crucial in attracting tourists to areas such as the West of Ireland, and in providing employment to local economies in a...

Seanad: Order of Business. (1 Jun 2011)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Iarraim ar Cheannaire an Tí díospóireacht a thionóil maidir leis an straitéis 20 bliain don Ghaeilge. Tá sé fíor-thábhachtach, go háirithe inniu i gcomhthéacs an lá stocaireachta a raibh muid ar fad aige trasna an bhóthair in Óstán Buswells. Is ceist í ceist na Gaeilge a raibh muid ar fad aontaithe fuithi agus, sa dá Theach, glacadh d'aonghuth leis an straitéis 20 bliain...

Seanad: Election of Cathaoirleach (25 May 2011)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: A Chathaoirligh, a Sheanadóirí agus a dhaoine uaisle go léir, "Is féidir linn" an rosc catha a bhí ag an Uachtarán Obama agus é ag tabhairt aithisc spreagúil uaidh an Luan seo caite agus é ar chuairt anseo in Éirinn. Ach ní léiríonn an mana sin ach an fhéidireacht atá ionann agus ní ionann caint agus gníomnh. Caithfear gníomhartha dearfacha, fad-radharcacha a ghlacadh le...
