Seanad: Waste Management: Motion (22 Jun 2016)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: -----which I believe backs up what Senator Mac Lochlainn has been saying. I want to address some of the issues raised.

Seanad: Order of Business (21 Jun 2016)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: It is great to see the new politics of Fine Gael coming around to Sinn Féin policy, particularly around the issue of rates, because Sinn Féin has called for the past five years for a change to rates in order that they are calculated on the basis of profits and the size of businesses. I agree with Deputies Byrne and Butler that a debate is needed and it is good that they are finally...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ag leanúint, ar bhealach, leis an téama sin, ba mhaith liom a bheith ceangailte leis na mothúcháin atá luaite ag na Seanadóirí Horkan agus Lawless maidir leis an dream óg a maraíodh i Berkeley agus an dream óg a d'fhulaing i Berkeley agus an dream ar fad timpeall orthu a thug tacaíocht agus mar sin dóibh.

Seanad: Order of Business (15 Jun 2016)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ba mhaith liom i dtosach báire moladh a thabhairt do na Seanadóirí atá i láthair a bhfuil cúpla focal acu na focail sin a úsáid. Tuigim go bhfuil roinnt Gaeilge ag an gcuid is mó den dream atá anseo agus tá sé fíorthábhachtach go mbeadh muid ag tabhairt ceannródaíocht ó thaobh na Gaeilge de i dTithe an...
