Niall Ó Donnghaile: I thank our guests. This is a fluid situation and those are the dynamics with which we are dealing. I agree regarding the gap in information. I am sure the gap in respect of trade from the North of Ireland into Britain and vice versais frustrating from an economic perspective. It is also politically frustrating for us as Oireachtas Members. It is to be hoped that we can get to the point...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (14 Oct 2021)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: I agree wholeheartedly with Senator O'Loughlin's remarks on Changing Places. It is transformative in terms of what it does in helping families facing real difficulties in daily life. The dignity of knowing they have support for their loved ones and that they can plan a day or a series of days out makes a real difference in their lives. This is something I have raised in the Seanad...

Seanad: British Government Legacy Proposals: Motion (13 Oct 2021)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: The British Government's amnesty proposals for dealing with the people that its armed forces killed, openly and secretly, is an attempt to cover up murder by the British state on a grand scale.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Engagement with Coiste na nIarchimí (7 Oct 2021)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: I will conclude my remarks because Mr. Molloy is looking to come in. This issue is perhaps something we could tease out in that follow-up engagement when we meet with Mr. Culbert in Belfast, if God spares us.
