Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Tuigim nach bhfuil deis ag an Aire Stáit déileáil leis na moltaí ar fad nó iad a mheas go hiomlán go fóill, ach tá an straitéis 20 bliain ann le cúpla bliain anuas. Tá an staidéar ar a bhfuil sé bunaithe ann chomh maith, an staidéar cuimsitheach teangeolaíochta. Foilsíodh an staidéar sin i 2007 agus sa...

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Tuigim an méid atá ráite ag an Aire Stáit agus aontaím leis ar bhealach amháin. Ach sa deireadh thiar thall, nach bhfuil sé níos tábhachtaí an straitéis a chur i bhfeidhm, seachas a bheith ag caint fúithi? Táimid de shíor ag caint faoi seo. Tá an t-am ag imeacht agus tá an Ghaeilge, sna Gaeltachtaí agus...

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Tá sé ríthábhachtach go bhfuilimid ag déileáil leis an mBille seo inniu. Is trua nár glacadh le Bille eile dá leithéid a chuir muid chun tosaigh sa bhliain 2003, nuair ba léir do phobal na hÉireann - measaim go bhfuil sé soiléir fós - go raibh sé riachtanach go mbeadh neodrachas míleata istigh sa Bhunreacht i...

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I will try to wrap up má thugann tú deis gasta dom. Ba mhaith liom an méid a dúirt mé ag cruinniú coiste le déanaí mar gheall ar an bhfianaise atá ag Amnesty International maidir leis na gialla a bhí i Guantánamo a cheartú. Níl fianaise acu ó na gialla sin. Is léir, áfach, ó na ríomhphoist ó...

Gender Recognition Bill 2014 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed) (5 Mar 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: When we adjourned the debate, I was making the point that the issues arising for inter-sex people were not adequately addressed in the Bill as it stood. I hope we will be able to introduce amendments on Committee Stage to improve the legislation in this regard.

Other Questions: National Internship Scheme Administration (5 Mar 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: The figures in the Indecon report commissioned by the Department are outdated, but even they showed that many of those who progressed on to work were on lower pay than their colleagues after one year.

Other Questions: National Internship Scheme Administration (5 Mar 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Will the Minister take an honest look at the JobBridge scheme and its wider interaction with the labour market to ensure that further paying jobs are not displaced, given that the original Indecon report dealt with year 1? It is now four years in place. Does the Minister consider it appropriate at this stage to have a further evaluation?

Other Questions: National Internship Scheme Administration (5 Mar 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: The Minister of State quoted 3% as the percentage of employers that admitted using JobBridge to replace existing employment. He did not quote the other figure, that a whopping 29% of employers said that in the absence of JobBridge they would have taken on a person in paid employment instead. We are poles apart on JobBridge. I will not persuade him here. However, even if he looks at...
