- Seanad: Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2016: Second Stage (1 Feb 2017)
Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Instead of announcing that the senior Minister or the Taoiseach will visit UHG, they should come unannounced and see what things are like on an ordinary day. UHG has lists of more than 30,000 outpatients awaiting appointments, of whom 4,700 or more have been waiting for more than 12 months. I have another issue, which I am not sure can be addressed in this Bill, but is something the...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Dúirt an Cathaoirleach ina chuid fhocal maidir leis an gCléireach nua-cheaptha gur onóir mhór é an ceapachán seo do chlann Martin Groves agus dó fhéin, ach is onóir mhór dúinne é a leithéid de Martin a bheith ceaptha sa ról mar Chléireach.It is a huge honour for us that Martin Groves has been appointed Clerk of the...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Sustaining Viable Rural Communities: Discussion (Resumed) (18 Jan 2017)
Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: The level of anger and frustration in Connemara is due to the fact that we do not have any proper road into or out of the region. People cannot understand why this issue has not been resolved. They hear about meetings between Oireachtas Members and Departments. They get a sense that there is movement, but then they hear there is another logjam. That is the backdrop to the case. Is the...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Sustaining Viable Rural Communities: Discussion (Resumed) (18 Jan 2017)
Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: To come back to the current logjam with Galway County Council, it is important to note, and we are all aware, that there was a significant bereavement in Galway County Council involving a director of services who was dealing with these issues. Our thoughts go to his family and his colleagues. Has that had an impact on the project moving forward? Is that one of the reasons for the logjam?...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Sustaining Viable Rural Communities: Discussion (Resumed) (18 Jan 2017)
Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: To clarify, my recollection from reading the relevant European Union information is that there are at least scores of cases in countries. We are not talking about one or two in the entire country. From what I recall, there were over 70 cases some years ago in Portugal. We do not have an Irish precedent but there are precedents across the EU that can be compared, in some sense, to what is...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim céad fáilte roimh na finnéithe. I dtosach báire, táim an-shásta go bhfuil an deis againn comhghairdeachas a dhéanamh le Gaillimh le Gaeilge as an obair éachtach atá deanta acu le 30 bliain. Tá sé deacair a shamhlú go bhfuil sé 30 bliain ar an bhfód. Tá fios agam ar an obair a dhéanann siad ó lá...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim míle fáilte roimh na finnéithe. Is é seo an dara am agamsa an cur i láthair céanna a chloisteáil mar tá mé ar an gComhchoiste Oideachais agus Scileanna. Molaim na finnéithe as cé chomh cuimistheach is atá an obair atá déanta acu ó thaobh an cur i láthair. Tá sé thar barr. Seasaim leis na...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: An pointe a bhí á dhéanamh agam ná gur b'fhearr leo leanacht leis an oideachas trí mheán na Gaeilge ag an tríú leibhéal chomh maith. Seachas sin, tuigim céard atá á rá ag an bhfinné.
- Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Polasaithe Iontrála Scoile: Cearta Oideachais (17 Jan 2017)
Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Is léir go bhfuil tacaíocht ag Cearta Oideachais ó pháirtithe éagsúla, muid féin i Sinn Féin san áireamh. Cén caidreamh nó cumarsáid a bhí ag na finnéithe leis an Roinn Oideachais agus Scileanna agus feidhmeannaigh na Roinne? Ar chas na finnéithe leo siúd? An bhfuil siadsan dóchasach dearfach nó...
