Seanad: Action Plan for Rural Development: Statements (9 Feb 2017)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: There is mention in the report of the Sparkassen model of community banking. I ask the Minister to tell us the position of the Minister for Finance on that issue. I attended a great presentation on that recently and many people would agree that it is an interesting model to consider. However, there seems to be some reticence in the Department of Finance in terms of looking at that option....

Seanad: Order of Business (8 Feb 2017)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ba mhaith liom mo dhíoma agus imní a léiriú faoin ráiteas an rinne ceannaire an DUP, Arlene Foster, le cúpla lá anuas, maidir le Acht na Gaeilge agus nach mbeidh a leithéid ann má bhíonn an DUP sa rialtas ó thuaidh. Ba mhaith liom a mheabhrú don Cheannaire go bhfuil dualgas ar an Rialtas anseo, mar go bhfuil Acht na Gaeilge mar...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim céad fáilte roimh an Aire. Tá mé thar a bheith sásta go bhfuilimid anseo arís ag plé na ceiste seo. Is dóigh gurb é seo ceann de na crua-ceisteanna atá againn sa tír seo i láthair na huaire. Ba mhaith liom tréaslú leis an ngrúpa sibhialta a thug chun cinn an Bille seo arís eile. Tá sé...

Seanad: Derelict and Vacant Sites Bill 2017: Second Stage (8 Feb 2017)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I have had some of it robbed from me so I will finish very quickly. Senator Murnane O'Connor referred to introducing legislation on anti-social behaviour. If the Bill were passed and we got rid of the derelict sites then we would solve the problem anyway. That is what we need to see happen. Táimid ar son aon Bhille a thugann níos mó cosanta don tionónta agus níos...

Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Radio Broadcasting: Raidió Rí-Rá (7 Feb 2017)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Tá cuid againn b'fhéidir ró-shean le bheith ag cuimhneamh siar ar na hamhráin a bhíodh muid ag éisteacht leo agus muid níos óige ach, idir mhagadh agus dáiríre, sílim go bhfuil fíorthábhacht leis an aighneacht atá na finnéithe ag déanamh. Le bheith fírinneach, tá páistí óga agam nach...

Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Radio Broadcasting: Raidió Rí-Rá (7 Feb 2017)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Gabhaim buíochas as an eolas breise. Ardaíonn cúpla ceist as an méid atá luaite ag na finnéithe. Táim ag lorg soiléiriú. Bhí Julian de Spáinn ag caint faoi díolúine atá ann faoi láthair ó thaobh chúrsaí reatha agus mar sin de. An bhfuil sé ag rá go bhfuil siad dóchasach go mbeidh an...

Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Radio Broadcasting: Raidió Rí-Rá (7 Feb 2017)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Sílim go mbeadh sé go maith dá bhféadfaí é sin a dhéanamh. An bhfuil sé sin clúdaithe sna costais atá luaite ag na finnéithe?

Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Radio Broadcasting: Raidió Rí-Rá (7 Feb 2017)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Is ceist pholasaí agus ceist chur chuige é i ndáiríre seachas ceist acmhainní ag an bpointe seo. Dá mbeadh an fhoireann ag Raidió Rí-Rá, bheadh siad ábalta é sin a dhéanamh. Maidir le stáisiúin raidió pobail, cosúil le Conamara FM a chraolann thiar i gConamara, bíonn siad ag craoladh ar mhinicíocht FM...

Seanad: Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2016: Second Stage (1 Feb 2017)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit. Ós rud é nach dóigh liom go bhfaca mé í ón uair gur ceapadh í mar Aire Stáit, ba mhaith liom comhghairdeas a ghabháil léi. Cuireann mé féin agus Sinn Féin fáilte roimh an mBille seo, go háirithe na forálacha a bhaineann le pacáistiú tobac. Cé go bhfuil...
