- Seanad: Presidential Voting Rights: Motion (30 Nov 2016)
Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: The use by Mossad of Irish passports to facilitate political murder must be condemned and opposed by all who profess ad nauseamto be upholders of Irish democracy.

- Seanad: Planning and Development (Housing) and Residential Tenancies Bill 2016: Report and Final Stages (29 Nov 2016)
Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: We discussed this issue on Committee Stage. These are important amendments which Sinn Féin supports. The Senators outlined clear reasons for introducing them.
