Seanad: Action Plan for Education: Statements (6 Oct 2016)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: -----not having a very certain career path. That is something that has to be addressed. What is the Minister’s vision for rural schools? We need to have a plan.

If the Department does not have the numbers for how many schools...

Seanad: UK Referendum on EU Membership: Statements (5 Oct 2016)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire. I ndáiríre, tá freagra an Rialtais ar Bhreatimeacht an-easnamhach mar gheall go raibh an oiread sin ama ag an Rialtas i bhfad roimh chinneadh Phríomh-Aire na Breataine tús a chur leis an bpróiseas imeachta i mí Aibreán na bliana seo chugainn. Tá mo chomhghleacaí, Martin McGuinness, níos...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Tá an-áthas orm a bheith in ann tacú go láidir leis an rún seo. Creidim go bhfuil cuid mhaith raiméise ráite, ach go háirithe ag an Seanadóir a labhair romham, maidir leis an gcomhaontú áirithe seo. Senator Horkan finished his remarks by saying, "No agreement is ever perfect." However, it appears the confidence and supply agreement is...

Seanad: Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement: Motion (5 Oct 2016)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: There are five year olds on all sides of the House tonight anyway. To pick up on a point made by Senator Richmond about the people in Europe who should be fighting the battle on behalf of CETA and be batting on its behalf, maybe they do not have the confidence in it to do so. Maybe if they were so confident in it, they would be batting on behalf of CETA. We in Sinn Féin have had...

Seanad: Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement: Motion (5 Oct 2016)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: There is an argument that the entire process also runs counter to Bunreacht na hÉireann. Nach bhfuil sé aisteach gurb iad an dream céanna a chaith a dteanga ag rá go gcaithfear an Bunreacht a chosaint i gcónaí le linn na coinbhleachta ar an oileán seo ach anois atá sásta an chumhacht sin a ghéilleadh. Given that TTIP was effectively defeated...

Seanad: Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement: Motion (5 Oct 2016)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: If Fianna Fáil Senators cannot bring themselves to oppose the motion, they might abstain. Particularly in light of the fact that we are waiting for a court determination in April, they should not buy a pig in a poke and sign up to an agreement at this stage when they do not have the full facts on the issues involved. Cuirim an méid sin os comhair an Tí agus tá súil...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ní bheadh sé míle míle ón mbaile agus an áit a bhfuil an Cathaoirleach ina cónaí. Cuirfidh mé ar an gcaoi sin é. Is é sin bun agus barr an scéil. Dúirt an coimisinéir maidir le cúrsaí earcaíochta nach bhfuiltear ag fostú daoine le Gaeilge sna ranna éagsúla agus go bhfuiltear ag...
